Of Dreams, and Hopes
The scene opens to reveal Elena crying her heart out for the umpteenth time this month to her best friend, Catherine a.k.a Cathy for short. Elena sits at her kitchen table with her two palms to her face trying to muffle the sound of crying, so she doesn't wake up Elsa again.
"I am so sorry for your loss, Elena. Billy wasn't worth your time and its okay if you didn't get it right the first time." Catherine says, "Besides less than 10% of childhood sweethearts get married, and only 2% of them stay married past the 5 year mark." And at this remark Elena cries harder, and her cries wake up 1 ½ year old Elsa.
"What I meant was you are not the only one to get divorced and I am pretty sure you will not be the last. Okay, I'm going to get Elsa because that kid of yours can sure scream her heart out." Catherine gets up from in front of Elsa and goes down the hall to put Elsa back to bed again. It's kind of funny, but I can calm Elsa better than I can my own friend? But who am I to tell her when she can stop grieving? That's why I am so happy I have a dog to keep me company. I don't have the time for a man much less a pig.
Elena closes her eyes tightly and prays like she has been for the past 6 months that all of this is nothing but a nightmare. That when she opens her eyes Billy is going to come through that oak door begging for her forgiveness. Elena opens her eyes slowly, looks at the oak door Billy built with his hands only to realize that the dream is nothing but that… a dream.
Catherine leaves the Elsa's room with a heavy heart. How can I make my friend's life a little bearable? Note to self, if I ever see Billy or even that flight attendant again I will kill both of them with my own bare hands. I have never understood why people get married only to get divorced again that's why I believe there is no such as true love, but people would call me a bad friend if I told Elena that. So I will not burst what bubble she has left. Catherine stands behind Elena's seat and pats her gently on her back."It's going to be okay, Elena."
"You promise, Cathy?" Elena sniffles, "Do you think Billy will see what a tramp she is and come back to me?"
"One can always hope, Elena." False hope that's what I am giving her… false hope.
Elena's head slowly turns towards the front oak door once more and she gulps for some needed air begging for her dream to come true.
