Rating: R
A/N: I'm hoping you all like it so far. It's never too late to give me a review, even six years since the last update. Anyway, I'm sorry about what was revealed in the chapter before this one. Now, hand me some reviews, pwease? Oh, and I have NO idea for a next story, so anyone who just doesn't feel like writing a certain really good story, give me the idea, and I'll try it. I have no proof it will be good enough for you, though.
Dreams Chapter 8: A little talk
Neo watched as they carried Denny's body out of the room.
The room was full of policemen, interviewing Mrs. Wilkins, searching the room for a clue.
Neo sat down on the bed and watched Trinity sob onto it, refusing to talk to anyone.
He came very close so that he was sitting beside her.
He knew he couldn't touch her, but.
He put a hand just above her shoulder, and gently touched her, it went right through.
***
Neo watched as Trinity looked at Denny's corpse.
They were already inside the funeral home, and they were just putting Denny in his coffin.
Trinity was silent for a long time already, and Neo felt really sorry for her.
She looked. haunted, angry.
The men who were putting Denny in the coffin asked Trinity if she was coming with them, because they were going to place him for viewing already.
She shook her head and said she'd be out later.
The men just shrugged and left the room, carrying the coffin with them.
Once they left, Trinity exploded, crying hard.
"Is this what you get for trying to love?" she whispered, closing her eyes, "God, answer me!"
Neo watched Trinity, who was shaking, and was crying hard, "Oh, God, tell me."
"Years and years, I never told anyone about my dad." she continued, "Now I can just see how stupid I was for letting him do that to me."
Neo wished he was visible, so he could comfort her, hold her, hug her, tell her that it was OK.
"I'm never going to forgive him." Trinity said bitterly, "Never."
She sobbed harder, "God, after all he's done to me, I still loved him. After how much he starved me, hurt me, raped me every night. God, I thought he couldn't get any worse, but now. Denny's gone." She sobbed even harder, clenching her fists so tight it made scars "God, he took away Denny. he took away everything."
She fell to the floor, "Why don't you just kill me right now, just kill me!"
Neo felt as if he wanted to cry, too. It hurt really bad to see Trinity so. pained.
Trinity just sank to the floor from where she sat, "God, I'm going to kill him. I've suffered so much for that asshole. Is that what he does to me? God, I thought you said everyone would be rewarded. My whole life I've never asked for anything. My whole life I let people push me around. God, I only ever got one gift, and that was Denny."
Neo felt like telling her to stop, just stop, because it hurt him just as much.
"And now. he's. gone."
***
"Kate, if you want, you could go live with us, with your father in prison and all." Mr. Wilkins said gently.
"Thank you, Mr. Wilkins." Trinity said quietly.
"I know it must be hard for you."
"The same goes with you and Mrs. Wilkins."
***
It was a few days after the funeral when Neo found himself sitting on a bench beside Trinity, who was staring out into space, her eyes still puffy from crying.
She lived with the Wilkins in Denny's room now.
The first time she sat on Denny's bed, she started to cry. Mrs. Wilkins left her there to sob.
Now, she was sitting on a bench outside the cemetery Denny was buried in. Neo didn't know her thoughts perfectly, he just knew Trinity must have been very confused.
"Hi," a voice said suddenly, "could we talk for awhile?"
Trinity and Neo turned around to see Clara.
She was wearing black leather T-shirts and pants and she was holding a pair of sunglasses, which made Neo a bit shocked.
"What are you doing here?" Trinity said bitterly.
"Just came to visit Denny since I wasn't here on his funeral day."
Trinity turned around "I've got no time for talking."
Clara laughed a bit and Trinity glared, "You know, it's his birthday today. Who would know it would be a few days after his funeral."
Trinity looked down a bit.
Clara looked a bit concerned, "Look, I know it must hurt. But it's not the end of the world."
"Oh god." Trinity said softly "You don't know how painful it is."
"Maybe I don't know how love is." Clara said softly, "But hey, I'll learn from you two."
Trinity looked at Clara skeptically, and Neo stood up as Clara sat on the bench.
"You must miss him, don't you?" Clara asked.
"You don't know how much." Trinity whispered, closing her eyes.
"Maybe if you were a bit tougher your life wouldn't be so shattered."
Trinity looked down, "These days I think the same. Thanks for the advice."
"Well, we hackers have to stick together, don't we?"
Trinity looked up suddenly. Neo was sure this girl was unplugged.
"You have to be careful." Clara said, standing up.
After that, a strong breeze ran through the air, and all of a sudden, everything started to fade.
Neo looked left and right, as he saw Trinity fade, along with everything else.
Then, suddenly, he was inside the Oracle's kitchen.
"Hello, Neo." The Oracle said, giving him a knowing smile.
"God, I never knew Trinity's life was so.."
"Awful?"
"I guess that puts it into words, yeah."
"Have a snack, Neo." The Oracle said, lifting a tray of cookies.
"No, thank you." Neo said.
"What moments in her life did you think you saw?"
Neo thought for awhile, "Her past, before Morpheus."
The Oracle chuckled a bit, "You have seen some of the most sad or worst times of her life, Neo. And you're about to see a few more."
Neo watched as his surroundings changed a bit as he saw Trinity sitting in front of the screens on the Neb. She was looking at the screen very intently.
Then Cypher appeared from out of nowhere.
"God, Trin, why are you here again?" he asked, touching Trinity's arm.
Get away from him, you asshole traitor, Neo thought.
"Go away, Cypher." Trinity said with her stone cold voice, pushing his hand away.
"Why are you always pushing me away?" Cypher said, annoyed.
"Do you think I actually like you?" Trinity whispered, looking at Cypher angrily.
Cypher sighed and looked at the screens again, "It's him again, isn't it?"
"Shut up, Cypher." Her voice was angrier this time.
"Don't you remember when you used to like me more than those fools Morpheus thinks are the One?"
"I said shut up!"
"Remember when you used to come to me for." Cypher started to smile and Neo felt as if he wanted to kill him, "comfort?"
Then Trinity stood up and slapped him across the face "I was very stupid to come to you for sex, Cypher."
Then everything started to fade and the scene changed a lot to when they were in the Matrix.
Neo noticed it.
Cypher's betrayal.
"Look into those eyes. those big, pretty eyes, and tell me, yes, or no?"
Then the scene faded into.
Oh, god, no.
Neo was kissing Persephone all over again, but this time he was watching himself.
"You want a clearer view of Trinity, Neo?" The Oracle suddenly appeared, though the scene around them did not fade, but stopped.
Then suddenly, Trinity's glasses vanished into thin air, and the scene continued, the Oracle still there.
Neo saw Trinity's eyes were half filled with tears, and then as Neo put his arms around Persephone, Trinity closed her eyes and yet, there were little droplets that were already trying to pour out.
Neo felt like coming close and hugging Trinity tightly, just to be there for her, to tell her that she was his one and only, but he knew that wouldn't happen.
"If it hurt your feelings to view this moment," the Oracle said gently, "Then maybe this will pain you more."
Then the scene vanished into thin air and was replaced with another place, a place Neo knew, as Zion.
"So what's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant."
"What's wrong?"
"I-I don't want to be pregnant. I'm just not ready to get a kid."
"You're kidding, right?"
"Yes, I am."
"Why?"
"It's just too painful to explain."
"You know, you'll never know how well it is to have a kid unless you really get one."
"You know, why can't you accept the fact that I'm just not ready."
"Well, I don't think you can abort the thing, can you?"
"How can I make you understand?"
Understand.
Neo felt like a total jerk.
"So. Neo, maybe now you understand why she doesn't feel that she's ready?"
Neo's eyes were already filled with tears as he turned and saw the Oracle, smiling gently at him.
"Do you think you know how to make her feel better?"
"Where is she?"
"In the engine room, crying her eyes out." The Oracle said, "but Neo, you haven't answered my question. How do you think you can make her feel better?"
Neo smiled gently, "By being there for her."
-END OF CHAPTER- Hello! Now people, please R&R, please? Tell me if you like it or not, and I'll try to change some stuff on it. I'm kind of in a hurry so don't get too angry if it's not too good.
