I loved someone once, I know that this love I have now is meant to be the only one, well I suppose it is, I've only ever loved one in this desolate place we call the real. But I did love, in a dream, only then it felt real.

As real as everything did then.

His name was Matthew. I remember him so clearly peering over my shoulder trying to see what I was doing, and I remember shutting down the screen, blocking his view of what was on it. More than that,

Blocking him from me.

When I started asking questions about what I now know as the matrix I became immersed in my computer. I would sit there for hours ignoring Matthews pleading, it simply became whining. On and on in my ears, I did what anyone would do, I snapped. And in doing so I

Snapped the final link

between us. The matrix had worn away at it and however much I tried to convince my self that was what drove him away, that he was too scared to find out the truth I needed, I knew it had been me that had driven him away. Not wanting to face the truth I wiped all from my mind except finding Morpheus. The god of sleep, the master of dreams, the one who understood that

This was all a dream.

After I was unplugged, but before we started to monitor Neo I was sent to see the oracle, she told me then that Morpheus's quest to find the one would be my quest to find the one I'd love. But that first I had to let go of what I was holding on to. Even after all this time I still thought of him, and she could she that. I decided to take a trip back to my old apartment. I hadn't been back there since I took the red pill, I opened the door. It was unlocked and it smelled slightly different. Moving through the flat I quickly sensed someone in the bedroom. And there lying on the bed,

Was Matthew.

I didn't move, I simply stared at him, lying there, so peacefully, his hair was longer too. I listened to him breath, short irregular breaths, just like it he used to. A copy of what he looked like 6 years ago. Me, I knew I had changed, I no longer looked like the women he had loved. So to say my goodbye I leaned forward depositing a swift kiss to the arch of his left brow. Pulling back I saw him stir, his eyes flittered open slowly, I turned to go, a confrontation would be too difficult. But he stopped me with one word.

"Carrie?"

Ok, this isn't my first fiction but it's different to the other one, so please tell me what you think and I'm happy with people pointing out anything that needs improving. I have 4 chapters of this done already but I'm going to pace it out. I wasn't sure what to call Trinity so I used the actress's real name.
