The boy forgot the pain, the humiliation, the misery. For now.
He will remember who did this.
HE WILL.
NOTHING IS GOING TO BE ALIRGHT...
It was KEL. The boy, that looked like a typical hooligan from High School romance movies, was SUNNY's friend. He changed. He changed a lot. Yellow hair, had gloves on, new clothes, new looks... but the same smile. That smile that he always had. A little evil, but sincere.
"SUNNY... Finally, you woke up..." KEL started sobbing."After so many years you woke up. I missed you so much..."
KEL looked very happy. He hugged SUNNY tightly. KEL was much bigger and stronger than SUNNY, some may even confuse their ages, but he did not mind the brutal hug. It was calming. SUNNY felt HAPPY. He tried to say something, but he couldn't. It felt like he forgot how to talk.
In the middle of KEL's stories SUNNYfell asleep. He had a bad dream. Nightmare, even. He dreamed of breaking his violin into pieces and throwing downstairs. He felt so angry. He felt hurt. It ached. But, he woke up.
"Oh, you woke up, dude?" asked KEL."Did I wake you up or something?"
SUNNY shook his head. He was glad that he was awake
"Oh, nice" said KEL,as he continued his stories.
That was a weird dream
KEL and SUNNY were talking about how did the FARAWAY change. Well, it was KEL who was talking, since SUNNY couldn't talk. He wanted to ask so many things, but the only way of communicating he had was a nod and a head shake. SUNNY listened to all the things that KEL told him about.
"You understand?" said KEL."Our HERO decided to take break from education and crap. I thought it was some joke, but he was serious. He went to a local college and learnt how to cook. Now, he's a professional"
SUNNY was surprised. It was unlike HERO to stop learning. Maybe, it was his fault, by falling into a coma? KEL continued:
"BASIL moved out. I dunno where, to be honest"
SUNNY felt SAD. BASIL iswas his best friend. Maybe, BASIL found new friends and life. SUNNY was glad that his friend could move on, but the fact that he moved out still made him sad.
KEL was still talking and talking. SUNNY noticed, that KEL didn't say anything about AUBREY and MARI. Well, KEL and MARI weren't as close, but what about AUBREY? Even if the argued like little kids, they were still friends. SUNNY couldn't ask that question that he pondered.
Few minutes later. SUNNY heard how nurse was talking to someone again. This time, nurse sounded more welcoming. The door opened and SUNNY saw his mother. She looked older and more tired. She was smiling.
"Heya, miss S.M" said KEL. He sat for a bit before leaving the room. Now, it was only SUNNY and his mother. Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she ran towards SUNNY and hugged him. Her hug was gentle, almost like she was holding back. SUNNY hugged her back.
"Dear, I was so worried for you..." His mother whispered. SUNNY just stared in reply. His mother looked like she forgot something before saying:
"Oh! Of course..."
SUNNY got a NOTEBOOK WITH A PEN!
"If you want to say anything, just write"
SUNNY almost immediately started writing. His first question was: "Where is MARI?"
His mother's smile faded. Why? What happened?
"Oh dear..." said his mother in a worried tone
She kneeled before SUNNY. Something was about to happen. Something bad was about to happen.
"SUNNY" his mother's voice was quiet "MARI went missing after the accident. We can't find her."
What?
