Chapter 4: Another World
"Hello?", the familiar voice responds.
"Hi Namine, I'm so glad you picked up. You won't believe what happened.", Kairi says still holding tears in her eyes.
"Kairi, I don't think this is a good time. I'm kind of... busy." answers Namine, in a sad tone trying to hide why the real reason she cannot speak.
"Oh, okay, well I'll talk to you later I suppose."
"Bye Kairi."
"Bye Namine."
Kairi hung up the phone feeling more and more confused and lost. "Why didn't Namine want to talk to me?", she kept asking herself. Namine had gorgeous blonde hair and dazzling baby blue eyes that no boy in his right mind could resist. She and Kairi had been bes tfriends since the second grade. The two spent every waking moment together since the day they met at the park. They shared secrets, planned sleepovers, and even did each other's hair. The two were inseparable, until now.
She lays in bed thinking about Namine... her mother... her life. Soon she drifts to a deep sleep. Thoughts drift through her mind, memories phase by. She is in another world. A world where death is unexisting and friendship is forever. Somewhere where she can giggle and laugh without any sorrow. The place she has longed for so dearly since the day of the accident.
"Momma! Can Namine and I stay a little bit longer... PLEASE?"
"Okay, okay, just a few more minutes." her mother answers then giggles as she sees how happy her daughter is.
"Thanks mum, you're the best!" Kairi says then runs off to play on the merry-go-round with Namine.
The girls play and run around the park. They go down the slide, only to climb up once more. They swing up high, just to jump off and swing again. The play, they laugh. They are truly happy.
But then it happens. Thoughts of reality slowly force themselves into her mind. They hold onto her and don't let go. She fights what she so desperately longs to forget. She tosses and turns as she lays in her bed as she resists. Though as hard as she might, they grab hold and poison her mind. She begins to cry as she starts to remember the day that it happened. The day her mother died.
"I'm sorry.", her mother says in a hushed low whisper. Kairi watches as her hand slowly lets go of the rail and her mom falls into the water. Kairi begins to cry. The woman begins to drown as she sinks to the bottom of the river and is out of sight. Air bubbles float to the top. Moments later, the body appears once more, floating lifeless face first in the river stream. The woman's dark long hair floats, sticking to the lifeless body. Her mother is dead.
Kairi screams for help, for someone, anyone, to come and help her. Her mother cannot be dead, she just can't. She screams and screams only to be heard by no one. The silence is deafening, the only sound is of the girl's sobbing and screams.
Her eyes begin to swell, but she cannot leave where she is at. She can't even move. She just sits there along side of the bridge staring at the woman's body. "Why did I
just let her die?", she asks herself feeling more than responsible for the death... the death of her mother.
Kairi awakens.
Author's Note: Sorry the chapter is so short. I didn't really enjoy writing it. Though don't fret, Chapter 5 is on its way.
