Part two. Europe.
Roxanne.
Amsterdam.
It was almost evening. The sun prepared to go down and colored the sky over and old town to the orange color. Dylan MacKay was sitting in the street café drinking sweet black tee. He was already high, or may be he was still high. It is hard to say. It is been more than a year since he left Brenda in London. He did not change the number of his cell phone, so he heard the latest news. His sister run away from his mother and became a prostitute in LA. Brendon and Kelly found her and send her to London. They thought that he still live there. Why did Brenda did not tell the truth to them? Because of Kelly? That is funny. They still have some kind of competition. From one side it was pleasant for his ego, but from another he still remember how did Kelly said that she chooses herself when he offered her a trip around the world and then after he left she ran right to the Brandon's arms. Woman. His thoughts turns back to his sister. How could he help her if can't help even himself. He did not want Erica to see whom he became. He was ashamed of himself, he thought that he doesn't deserve a normal life because he is kind of freak, just a rich worthless jerk.
He saw how a certain women in the streets prepare to start their "work". One of them looked as she doesn't belong here. There was something about her, may be it was her look or may be something else. Paradox was in that, that at that moment when Dylan saw a girl in a café someone turns the radio on and there was a Sting's song "Roxanne". He was still thinking about Erica when he realized this paradox. So he decided to meet that girl. Dylan walked down the street and stopped near her.
-How much?
The girls looked a little confuse and surprised. It seemed that she doesn't know what to answer.
A hundred euro per hour- she finally answered.
Fine. We've got a deal, let us drive to my palace. What is your name?
Claudia.
I am Dylan.
Early in the morning Claudia was watching her "lover" while he was asleep. The young men was beautiful. He had a strong, упругое body. She wished she met him in a different circumstances. He was her first client ever. She thought she was lucky, cause he told her to not worry about the money and it was pleasure for her to spend the night and the time with him. He was not just handsome, he was clever and intelligent. But Claudia knew that he was on drugs and it seemed that he was an alcoholic too. She could not understand why is he doing all this to himself. He let her know that he had enough money and he does not know what to do with it and what to do with his life either. Claudia decided that he was lost inside his own world. She did not realize that she start to speak her thoughts loud.
Why, what? – Dylan murmured.
Sorry.- Claudia replayed.
Don't be. But still what are you wondering about?
Well, I just could not understand why are you doing all this to yourself. I mean drugs, alcohol…me. You are young, handsome, clever, strong and rich. You can have any girl as your girlfriend. You can do what ever you want, you can study wherever you choose. Why are you here?
Dylan looked at her. How can he answer to all her questions if he couldn't answer to them to himself. He did not think that he is clever. He did not want to have a girlfriend, he thought that he do not have a right for it after Tony's death. He knew that he is attractive for a woman and that he is rich but it doesn't helped him in his life it is always made things just more complicated.
-It is a long and boring story. Anyway it is my choice and my life I can do whatever I want as you said. And what about you? Why you are here? Why are you doing it?
Claudia did not want to answer this question. She saw him the first and the last time in her life but his answer make her angry that is why she replayed:
I am a student, it is my last year in college but the government closed the budget program and I need money to pay for my education.
How much?
What?
How much do you need o pay for college?
9 thousand euro.
Dylan stood up and walked to a table. He took his check book and wrote a check on
10,500 thousands.
- Here. And do not do this anymore.
Claudia looked at the check and couldn't believe her own eyes.
I can't take it.
Yes you can. I insist. And I need a guide for the next few days and may be a girlfriend for a week end.
Dylan you are not that bad as you pretend. – She answered. She could not understand his actions us usual but she could not make herself to reject his offer. To spend a week end with a great guy and do not worry about her education that was the conclusion of all her troubles.
The week end was over. Dylan felt nothing as usual. Claudia was a nice and funny girl. But still he felt as a character in the movie who speaks his lines and make his moves because he is able to do it. Not because he want it. He drove Claudia to her home and wished her all the best in her future life.
Thank you – she said. – And you know what, Dylan, fight your fears. Take a challenge and fight for your life. Find a new dream. You can make so much good in your life for yourself and for the others. Don't miss your chance to be happy, you're a good person. You worth it.
Thank you may be I will.
Dylan smiled at her. He thought that Claudia was to naïve and to grateful to understand that he does not want to live anymore. So he drive to an airport, he was planning to climb a mountain to get some adrenaline.
The exit from all your troubles is at the same place as an entrance…
Hospital.
Dylan laid on the bed in реанимация. He woke up not so long ago and he was surprised that he is still alive. But more than that he was surprised he is happy to be alive. Doctor said that other two alpinist from the expedition died and he is lucky to be alive. At that moment Dylan realize that he was a full, that he do not want to die. He watched back threw the last years of his life to figure out how did he get himself it to all this. He realized that tony would not be proud of him, she would like him to be happy and to move one instead of ruing his life. Finally Dylan started to feel the taste of life again. He go back deep in his past again and he knew that there is one woman who can give him a sense of life again. It was Kelly Taylor. So he decided that after rehabilitation he will go back home a place where he belong and he will fight to get her back whatever it takes.
