Rating: PG-13
Category: Romance/Drama
Codes: T/T'P, A, S, R, Ph, M, other little extra folks and a few that have speaking lines J
Summary: SEQUEL TO EIGHT MONTHS AGO!! REALLY SHOULD READ THAT ONE FIRST!!! T'Pol has left, and now Trip is going to do anything to get her back… but what will happen if he does…??
Author's Note: ok, just to clarify for starters…. People were complaining that I ENDED the last one badly.. Well, that's because there wouldn't be much of a part 2 if the PART ONE answered all the questions….. And my intent was to make this REALLY long story into 3 different ones, not only because this will EASILY turn into a 70 or 80 chapter story if combined together, but also because this story really has three MAIN parts (I can't say what they all are, or it will give the WHOLE story away, but just wait, you'll see!!!!), and I wanted to split them up (at least for here and other fanfic sites) as a short book trilogy would…. Plus, besides the unanswered questions, this story can really be on its own for the most part, so you can start with this one (well, at least I think you should be able to.. Still a suggestion to read the first one…) Does that answer your questions about the ending for the last one???? Hopefully…..
A/N2: ok, I KNOW that this is really short, but it's a prologue, and I'm giving you the first chapter too, so don't complain… ;-) J
Domino Effect
Prologue
As the younger man closed the door behind him, the room fell once again into darkness and he immediately, yet unwillingly, began to reflect on what had happened.
He had just revealed everything, and to a man he wasn't even close to. In fact, he'd just let out more feelings than he would to his best friend. Indeed, there was an odd feeling of relief, but it mixed with an even deeper sorrow than had previously existed, just at the memory of that one heartbreaking incident.
Of course, he hadn't told his friend the most painful memories. He hadn't even come close to that. But just thinking about everything made the rest of the story flash through his mind, repeating endlessly.
As the images flashed through his mind over and over, torturing him, he put his arms to his skull, digging his fingers in and thrashing it about, hoping to somehow end the internal display, or even to shake the memories from his brain. But the attempt to rid his mind of the awful, painful imagery, or even to distract his mind from it was impossible. He found no relief, and the pain continued, refusing to leave his mind.
Instead, the entire account, beginning with her departure and ending with the most painful of memories, played out in his mind every few seconds, continuing relentlessly. After watching the painful events thousands of times, he realized just how their lives seemed to snowball into desperation and suffering, into oblivion, and proceed that dominoes were not the only things that fell in sequence…
