Dedicated to Luis, who [un]fortunatly made this all possible (sadly, all of its true..), Anthony Warlow - from
The Complete Works of Jekyll and Hyde, his voice can KILL SOMEONE!!! *swoons*, and to Joanna,
who had to live with the evil truth, ^_^;; .
The phone rang, and Amy quickly jumped up to get it. The day was mildly hot, an average summer day; she, of course, was wearing jeans. The finals had come up so quickly, and today was the day of the first final - Science... not her best subject.
Jumping out of the chair from the computer/music room, she bolted into her room just as the phone rang a second time.
"Hello?" was the nearly breathless reply.
"HI!" It was Mark, her boyfriend. The *perfect* boyfriend. Well, at least, she thought so.
"MARK!! AHHHH!! HIIII!!! HI HI HI HI!!!!" she screamed into the phone as she sat and bounced onto her bed.
"Ow.. ear.."
"Sorry... anyway.. how was your day?" She loved him so much, and vice versa. It was great, just one of those relationships that are so perfect and they fit just right.
"I sat right next to you."
"But still."
"Yeah...."
There was something in his voice that she didn't like. Placing a strand blonde and red streaked hair behind her ear, she leaned against the propped-up pillows. "What's wrong? Something's wrong..." Before the final, before school, they waited outside in front of school. She and Mark had had a serious talk... nothing bad, just he was all nervous about telling.
"Um... earlier... that wasn't all that was bothering me..."
That struck her - ever since her first and second boyfriend left indecently, she had always been so scared with Mark, that he was going to leave her, a decomposing wreck to be used and abused even more.
The world has gone insane! And parasites are eating at my brain... and nothing is the way it was before! A pack o'wolves is howling at my door!
"Then what else? Mark? Tell me, please?"
"I don't know..
"Mark," her voice turned stern, this was a serious matter to her. "Andrew and I had that relationship - we didn't tell each other anything I don't want that to happen."
"I know but-"
"Shut up and listen to me. We never told each other anything, really. Nothing important, nothing earth shattering. I know it doesn't seem like one thing can change it. But it can. Soon, it'll be a habit. You have to tell me, it's important. I'm your girlfriend, I have to understand. Well, I don't have to.. but I do. I love you, *nothing* can change that."
"Okay..."
She didn't like the sound in his voice. It sounded unsure, weary. She was so scared of him leaving that tears already stung her eyes.
"You're not leaving... right?" her voice was becoming barely audible with each word, this was the one thing she was truly terrified of.
"No! It's not that..."
"Okay..." It hadn't calmed her down, why should it? Amy tried to compose herself as best she could.
"Well..." he took a deep breath and searched for the words. She made herself comfortable on her bed and listened intently.
"Remember how you liked Steve...?"
I'm living in a non-stop nightmare! Dead man's dreams, filled with screaming pain...
"Y-yeah..." tears started to come more freely, she had a sense where this was going. A very strong sense.
Hurling me to extremes, in a world that's gone insane!
"And, um, how everyone supposedly likes, um, Maura?"
The world has lost its head! And every evil hour is filled with dread. I'm floating on lake, but upside down, and when I try to breathe, I start to drown!
That was all it took, she burst into hysteria. Crystalline tears flowed down her cheeks, dripping on her shirt. She curled herself up in a tiny, tiny ball, everything would be better.. it was all a dream... just a dream...
Andrew liked her other best friend, Roxzie. That's why he left her. The cycle was happening again... all over again.
"No..." she gasped between jagged breaths.
I cannot speak as nameless ghosts and faceless ghouls bid me join the dead! No one these this gruesome fools that the world has lost its head!
The memories of everything that happened to her hit her in one moment. Too much betrayal, too much, pain, too much for one moment. She remembered how the world stopped in the end of 2nd period when she read the note. The goodbye note. The note that ended what she thought was a glorious relationship. She liked it... he didn't really care. That came back in a flood, along with all the times they shared, with Andrew... with Mark...
Fiendish creatures leave their graves to taunt me! Old friends risen from the dead to haunt me! Godforsaken images that daunt me! Drowning in an endless flood of blood!
"Amy?" Mark questioned; he knew she wasn't alright. That was obvious. And why, too. But he at least needed some reassurance.
"It's happening again.. it's all going to happen again... Andrew left for Roxzie... you're leaving for Maura... It's happening again... all over again... I'm doomed with this curse... none of my friend's boyfriend's ever fall in love with me.. god forbid... oh no..." She babbled, thoughts racing all over the place. Closing her eyes again, she remembered how she felt that day, November 15.. Almost 7 months ago.. the pain came back. Then again, the pain never left.
The world has lost its mind! and everywhere I turn, I fear I'll find some nightmare even worse that those I see!
"You're going to leave me... go.. she's prettier than me... leave me here..."
"No," Mark had gotten this from her before, she trying to make him leave... its happened. But now she really meant it. He wasn't leaving. She didn't know that. Why she didn't was a mystery to him. "I'm not leaving you, I love you. Please, Amy... you know I do?" He quoted from The Phantom of the Opera, the song All I Ask Of You, to see if she would follow.
"Go now! Go now and leave me!" Was the returned quote. When she wasn't talking, he could hear her trying to breathe. Trying.
Satanic demons closing in on me... How can it be that even though they see my plight, everyone is blond! Night is day and day is night in a world that's lost its mind!
She had stopped crying, there was nothing more to cry with. In the past school year, she had cried so many times... now there was nothing left to cry with... Sure, she had liked his best friend... but she just liked the way he looked. Plus the fact this didn't happen to him twice in a row, so he was in silence on the other side. She had nothing to say. Her thoughts were jumbled and confused, nothing was straight. As if her world wasn't bad enough, he had to pull the rug out from under her.
The world has gone berserk! And hiding in the murk, new monsters lurk! I see a sea of snakes upon the floor! I see the Reaper grinning at my door! I scream in silence!
They both were in silence, there was nothing to be said. If you were to think of it in weights, Mark took off most of his, and dumped them on Amy.
Then, she remembered that she had to breathe, and resumed trying to calm herself down. Once she was silence she tried to speak in a proper sentence.
"I...."
"Shh.. Amy, it's okay... everything's okay..."
"NO! NOTHING'S OKAY!" her mind screamed back in rage - you like Maura! How can everything be okay!
Bad is good and good is bad! Sacred is profane! And it's wiser to be mad...
She was calm on the outside - beside her red eyes and basic disconnected appearance, she looked fine. But on the inside, oh the inside... If she were to be put inside out, she would be ripped in pieces. She almost had nothing left to believe in, her world was coming down to a close.
Sure, it seemed kinda small. But, when it happened once, and then it happens again.. and the mem'ries resurface, and the pain returns, it's not small anymore. Especially not to some of Amy's emotional weakness.
"Amy, I'm sorry... it's just..."
"Yeah, yeah, sure.. I know..." She took a deep breath and a long exhale.
In a world that's gone insane...
