An Angel's Story: Chapter 5
Rock's Dream: "Breaking the Habit"
Disclaimer 2: This chapter is a song fic. Me paying tribute to who I think is one of the greatest bands of all time. Linkin Park! So I don't own any of the lyrics.
As Rock slowly fell unconscious the only sound he could hear was the heart monitor slowing down. He hear it getting slower and slower, and his eyes closed more and more. Soon they were completely closed and the only sound in the room was long beep from the monitor.
Rock awoken in a church. He was sitting on a bench with his head on the one in front of him.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
(Rock leans back)
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
(Rock takes off his jacket and gloves)
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't how I got this way
I know it's not alright
(Rock picks up a piece of broken glass)
So I'm
Breaking the habit
(Rock cuts his hand with the glass horizontally)
I'm breaking the habit
(he cut his hand vertically)
Tonight
(he cuts his hand again diagonally)
I'll paint it on the walls
(Rock traces his hand down a wall leaving a blood mark)
'Cause I'm the one at fault
(goes to another wall and leaves another blood mark)
I'll never fight again
(he is standing at the back of the church)
And this is how it ends
(Rock runs towards the front but stops in the middle)
I don't know what's fight for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
(Rock drops to his knees)
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
(Rock's shirt tears and a white angel wing comes out of his back dripping blood)
I'm breaking the habit
(a black angel wing comes out of his back also dripping blood)
I'm breaking the habit
(Rock spreads his wings and holds his head in pain)
Tonight
(he falls over)
The whole place goes white. "Is that what I'll turn into?" asked Rock out of fear.
He heard Jeff's voice. "I'm afraid so."
"Can I stop it?"
"I'm afraid not."
"Can I control it?"
"Train hard enough."
"Will it help me protect Terry?"
"Yes."
"Thanks."
Back in the real world, Terry cried his heart out, because the only person he could call his son was dead. He looked at the heart monitor…It read a pulse.
"I can't believe It." said a doctor.
"He's alive!" said another.
Terry ran into the room and clenched him tightly. "Rock are you OK?"
"Just fine." Responded Rock. "Jeff says hi." Rock looked at his hand. He saw the scars where he had cut his hand in his dream. They were closing right in front of his eyes until his hand looked perfectly fine.
"Terry."
Terry turned to him as they were driving home. "What is it?"
"I'm my dream…It help me realize what I fight for…It's you."
"Can I tell you something kid?"
"Go."
"When I saw you lying there on that bed. There was something I wanted to tell you but you weren't there. Now that you're here…I can tell you. Rock…you are thing I fight for and I'll do anything to protect you."
Rock started to feel tears. "Was this fate or destiny?"
Terry felt tears roll down his cheek as well. "I don't know. But what I do know is that we'll find the answer together. Like Father and son."
