ลำดับตอนที่ #65 : Fan Fiction: A Broken Dream by Stopwatch
A Broken Dream
The ash sky rumbles as silver blades penetrated through the cold air. The filth that adhered within the cracks of the cobble stones got washed up with the flood and turned the streets into rivers of mud. ‘Since when did the world became this polluted?’ the thought ran through his head like a strip of film that kept repeating itself. His smoky blue eyes stared blankly at the place where he had left almost everything behind. The pouring rain made everything seemed grey and lifeless. It was as if he was outside looking through a foggy glass, he could not feel the cold neither does he feel the rain. Who would have thought that the life of a spirit would be this dull?
“Hey! Quit it! I’m all wet now!” a giggling voice of a girl caught his attention. At the corner of the street two shadows were giggling and laughing in the rain. Judging by their smile that seemed so carefree and innocent, they looked very happy. Somehow that picture brought back old memories of when he was still human. When he still thought of the world as a beautiful place where he could saviour everything bit of it with his loved ones.

‘Hey! Quit it! I’m all wet now!’ the flashback of his olden days had overlapped the present. The image was as clear as though it was it was reality.
It was during spring break when the trees and greens and wild flowers bloom. The sun was shining bright in the sky after a heavy rain. Birds were singing swiftly and the streets smelt of freshly baked bread. It was a wonderful day in the park and like every other couple, they were out on a date.
‘What’s wrong with a little fun? It’s not we’d get to do this every day,’ his pale lips tilted up into a foxy smile. No matter how others might think of him, but to Roxanne, whenever he smiled, she couldn’t help but blush.
‘You always have these excuses. When are you gonna grow up?’
‘When we get married!’ his teasing made her cheek blushed a brighter red.
‘Stop it! Can’t you see? Everyone’s looking!’
‘Who cares? Think of it in a good way, this way any guy who’s targeting you will know that you already have me.’
‘Why are you so cheesy today? Did hit your head or something?’
‘Maybe it’s because your big bro’s not around to interrupt us today, which means we could have the whole day to our-!’
‘Roxie!!!*’ A voice interrupted and before they could do anything, Roxanne was pulled away.
‘Speaking of the devil,’ Patrick muttered and let out a huge sigh.
‘What are you muttering about, you son of a b*tch? What right do you think you have to walk around, holding my sister with that filthy hand of yours?’ Benjamin shouted in anger, his eyes filled with the flames of hatred, there was no trace of his usual smiley face.
‘Ben, you’re being unreasonable here, Patrick and I, we’re just-‘
‘Patrick and you? Since when did I allow you to go out with this bastard?’
‘Wow, look at that. If you don’t quit furrowing those eyebrows of yours, your face would end up all wrinkly like an old man. You wouldn’t want that, would you? Wait, I’m saying it wrong am I? You really ARE an old man who is scared of not getting attention from his little sister anymore? Are you jealous of me?’
‘You mother f*cker’ Benjamin roared and before Roxanne could have done anything, Patrick was already thrown onto the wall. However, he showed no sign of fear or anger, instead he was smiling in victory.
‘Ah, have you forgetting something? Weren’t you the one who said ‘People you only use violence is no more than a-‘ before Patrick could’ve finished his sentence, he was thrown onto the ground followed by Benjamin’s heavy foot on his chest.
‘Patrick!’ Roxanne screamed but her voice was no more than just a breeze to Benjamin.
‘This is just a warning, if this ever happens again, I will kill you.’ Benjamin lifted up his foot. ‘As for you, Roxanne, you’re going home with me’ Benjamin dragged his sister away without looking back at his sworn enemy.
‘Let me go! Benjamin, I said let me go!’ No matter how loud she shouted, her voice could never reach through that barrier of prejudice he had over Patrick.
‘I’ll see you later!’ Patrick shouted after them and stood up as if nothing had happened. His back hurt from hitting the concrete but the rest of his body seemed okay. He knew he would end up like this but he couldn’t stop himself from annoying Benjamin. Just the thought of Ben’s face made him wanted to laugh, who would’ve known that a cheerful guy like Ben would have this side in him.

‘Sorry for being so late, I had to climb down my window so that Ben wouldn’t see me,’ Roxanne let out a big sigh.
‘It’s okay, I think the commercial is still on. Pepsi?’ Patrick handed over the Pepsi which Roxanne did not hesitate to take a big gulp out of it.
‘Thanks, let’s go then,’ Roxanne let out her hand and Patrick grabbed it without hesitation. The two of them were very excited about the date even if it was just watching a movie together. The time they spent with each other had been unforgettable and made their relationship grew tighter. But like other good times, time seemed to fly away very quickly and before they knew it, it was time to split up.
‘I had a great time today,’ Roxanne said with a huge smile on her face.
‘Me too! Can’t believe the movie ended like that, what a twist?’ Patrick yawned and stretched his arms out wide. After watching a movie he would always felt tired.
‘Yeah, I didn’t see that coming either,’
‘Hey, are you sure you can walk home alone. It’s getting late.’ Patrick asked as they came to bus stop in front of the theatre.
‘Yeah, don’t worry, I’ll be-‘ Roxanne’s words came to a holt when a car suddenly drifted from the intersection at full speed with a really sharp squeaking sound it skidded into a straight position. But that did not startle them, it was the sound of a gun fire.
Everything seemed to have stopped at that moment. Patrick could almost see the picture as a slow motion. He could see how the car drifted in a half circle and came to a stop, and during that millisecond, the car paused, a jet black gun reached out from the window and pulled the trigger. His body froze and his legs felt as though they were pulled into the ground, making him unable to move. It was as if he was paralysed. And when he finally got hold of himself, it was already too late. He could feel the vibration of the concrete beneath his feet as someone fell heavily onto it. It was Roxanne.
‘ROXANNE!!!’

‘Roxanne! Answer me! Say something! Don’t just lay there! I know you can hear me! Please! Please!’ Patrick sobbed and hugged his love tightly in his arms. His brain was all numb, he didn’t know what to do, it was as if his brain had stopped functioning. He couldn’t accept the truth that Roxanne was not longer with him even though just a few seconds ago he was still talking with her. Why have God played such cruel joke on him? How could this all happen? How could Roxanne have left him without saying her good-bye? How could she be so cruel?
‘Roxanne, please wake up. Please. I’m begging you. Come back to me’ He kept murmuring these lines over and over again. He didn’t care about the red liquid that soaked his clothes nor did the stench of blood. Nothing in this world mattered to him more than Roxanne.
Nothing, not even his very own life.
‘Roxie*!’ Benjamin rushed into the scene with his startled face. His football cleats were covered in mud and he was still wearing his white football uniform. He must have hurried his way here when he got the call from Patrick.
‘You!’ that was the only word that came through that shivering lips but Patrick didn’t care. He’d just lost Roxanne. The only person he had ever loved, the only person who’s worth living for. Now she’s gone. As quick as blinking, she’s gone.
‘You did this, didn’t you? You’ve planned all this from the beginning. You took the advantage of Roxanne’s kindness and hit on her so that you can hurt my pride. But then when I managed to pull Roxanne away, you were feud and instead of taking it all on me. You killed Roxanne, knowing that she’s the only person I cared about. You heartless being!’ Benjamin muttered before straighten up his body. His body shook violently, not because of sadness but anger. The rage of wanting to kill everything that was in his way took over his conscience and he pulled out the silvery weapon from his belt.
‘I didn’t kill her! You might think that I hated your guts but I would never have taken it on Roxanne. She’s nothing like you. I can never hurt her even if that was the only way I can hurt you. I love her!’ this was the first time that those smoky blue eyes filled with such sorrow. Tear streams ran down his eyes to his chin. There was no trace of cockiness on his face anymore.
‘You think I would take any word from my enemy? You’re a monster, waiting for the opportunity to snatch other people’s loved ones just for your satisfaction! Are you satisfy now?’ Benjamin shouted a loud, he sounded as if he was going to fall apart in any minute. ‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a live! Say hi to the angel of death for me,’ his tremulous voice was as cold as ice blade piercing through the air. The trigger was pulled and there was no way back.
The sound of gunshot echoed throughout the streets and for a second everything went quiet. Patrick’s eyes widen and his body stiffen. ‘I guess there really are no unicorns and rainbows at the end of the road like in fairy tales…’
“-trick. Patrick!” The voice broke through and he was brought back to reality again. It was Martin, he’s a pure spirit just like him. They met a few years back when Patrick had just entered the new world.
“Sorry, there’s a lot on my mind right now. What is it you’re here for?” Patrick wiped the corner of his eyes and turned around.
“It’s time to go. James’ waiting.”
“You go ahead, I’ll be right there in a sec”
“It had been years since that incident. You should let go of it or you’ll just end up hurting yourself.”
“I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me.”
“If you say so.” Martin gave him a cheerful pat on the back before disappearing through the door.
“Is there something you need from me, James?” Patrick asked as he entered the bedroom. The room was decorated with dolls, toys, and pink furniture. There were also fish mobiles that rotated around which looked as though the fish itself were swimming. At the end of the room was a bed where everyone was crowding around. They looked as though they were under a spell.
“Come here,” Amelia called out. She looked happier than usual. This time, it felt as if the smile came from her heart, not just a fake one like it usually was.
Patrick was amazed with Amelia’s change of attitude so he couldn’t stop himself from wondering, ‘what in the world was on that bed?’. That was when he saw her, a little princess curled up on her bed. Her brown hair was brushed away from her pink cheeks and there was a hint of a smile at the corner of her lips. The picture had somehow warmed his heart, and without noticing, Patrick’s lips curves into a faint smile.
“You know Patrick, there was a saying I heard a long time ago: ‘A smile of a child has the power to cure all sadness’. Maybe being around this child could help you to let go of your painful past.”
“I doubt that”
