Theraven:
(before katrina starts banging on my door... :D) here's the third chapter:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ch.3: alone in the misery
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
“We’re just going to the mall. It’s not a big deal, Brian.”
“But I don’t want you to go.”
“Well, I have to buy some food. Angela, are you coming with us?”
Angela suddenly appeared behind their father. “Yes.”
“Well, then. Are you coming, Brian?”
“No. I don’t want to. I don’t want you to go either.”
“We have to, Brian.” They went to the car.
It felt like the world had suddenly turned blurry around Brian. He knew what would happen.
He ran after the car, yelling “Please don’t go!”
But it was too late. The other car was coming around the corner.
Screeches of wheels. Metal crushing itself inwards. The choking smell of gas and smoke. People screaming.
But the one screaming the loudest, was a twelve year old child. A young boy that had just lost the rest of his family.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Theraven:
Angela felt her blood turn cold inside her as she ran for Brian’s bedroom.
The scream of her brother made her shiver like it was winter outside. She threw up the door. “Brian? Brian! What is it?”
Then, she saw her brother twist around in his bedcovers, screaming.
“Brian, you’re dreaming! Wake up!” she gripped his shoulders, and shook him carefully. He threw up his eyes, and turned towards her with a shocked expression, breathing hard.
“Angela. But, but… you was dead! I saw it, what…”
“Relax, Brian. You were having a nightmare. I could hear your scream all over to my room.”
It seemed like he was only five again. She could remember their mother holding around his shoulders, comforting him. He had had a lot of nightmares when he was little.
“Brian… do you want to talk about it?”
“Not really…”
She sat down beside him, and took his hand. “There, there. It’s all right now.” She could feel him shaking. He was crying, she realized.
“You know, Mom often said that if you talked about your problems, they might go away. Or at least turn smaller then they seemed at first. It helps to talk about it.”
He sat there silent for a few moments, just staring down in his hands.
Theraven:
“I… for the last few months, I’ve had… nightmares. Like before. I thought they were gone, but now they’re there again. And they’re much worse than they used to be.” He sniffled.
Angela felt the urge to give him a hug. “What are you dreaming?”
“That…that…” he sniffled again. “That I’m losing you. All of you. That all of you are suddenly gone, and that I’m standing there, watching it all. It’s like I know what will happen, but I can’t do anything about it. It’s so scary.”
Angela gave him a long hug.
“Don’t worry, Brian. It’s just dreams. It’ll not happen. I can’t promise that all of us will be here for eternity, but just because mom’s gone, it doesn’t mean we’ll all go away, you know.”
“I know.”
“You should probably go back to sleep now. We’re going to school tomorrow, you know.”
“I know.” he hugged her, and crawled under the covers again.
Angela tiptoed to her room, and slipped under her own bedcovers.
Only then, she realized what she had really said to her brother.
“I’m starting to sound like mom,” she mumbled. Then, the tears were impossible to stop. She let them come. She’d never missed her mother as much as just then.
Her mother that would’ve first comforted her brother, and then she would’ve come in and stroked Angela’s head.
“Go to sleep now, Angela. I’ll tell the stars that they shall only give you and your brother sweet dreams the rest of the night.”
Angela cried herself to sleep. Tomorrow would be yet another day, where she would come up with new situations where she missed her mother. Yet another day.
