Just Another Weirdo Story, chapter 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story except the Dark Angel, (the girl) so there is no reason to sue me.
My world is crashing in on me as I walk in the darkness of the night. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, it had to happen today. Was it a nervous breakdown? Did I really think she was going to kill me? No, Adrienne wouldn't kill me. She seemed to only want me for my fame and fortune. If she killed me, she wouldn't have that. Yes, that explained my lonely nights when I was home from touring. It seemed as if she only kept being my wife to have the glory of upper-class luxury. How do I know? I don't. But I got a pretty good idea of it today.
I walked home from over a year of touring, a bouquet of flowers in my hand. It was pretty rough around home and with Adrienne lately, and I had planned to make it up to her. I turned the doorknob, and pushed open the door, singing '2,000 Light Years Away'. "I sit alone in my bedroom, staring at the walls. I've been up all damn night lo-" I was greeted by the unforgivable sight of Adi with another guy. Doing the do, having sex, making love, fucking like bunnies, need I say more?
"B-Billie, I c-can explain..." she stammered.
"No. Don't. I know what you're trying to say..." My voice faded away as I got less confident. I threw the bouquet at her, and ran into the night.
All the songs I wrote about her, my love... felt unrequited. I tried to be home, I really did, but, seemingly, for her, it wasn't enough. She expected more and more of me every day. Mike and Tre wouldn't understand. No one would. Should I do everyone a favor and shoot myself? Did anyone hate me enough to want me to? Well, I didn't want anyone to hear me die, so, I did the only thing possible...
I stood at the top of the building, looking down at the world I wanted to leave behind so badly. The memories came flooding back to me, but I didn't let them keep me from finishing what I had started. I put a foot on the edge, and jumped over. Falling was like flying. Exhilarating, exciting, and thrilling. The wind whipped through my hair as I dropped rapidly through the air. The sidewalk was getting nearer, and nearer, and nearer still. Faster and faster I fell. It was frightful, but I had no regrets. None at all. Time seemed to freeze as I came crashing down. I felt myself slip unconscious from a world of screaming, people, and ambulances.
*Inside the coma*
Is this like a dream or something... the walls are white, and I don't know if I'm dead. Before me is a girl...I don't know her, or anything about her...so why is she here? Her hair is pitch black, and so is her dress. She has pale skin, and blood red eyes. She's scaring me...but at the same time, comforting me. Is that even possible? She reaches out to touch me, but I pull back. She just walks closer to me. I was up against a wall, so I had no choice but to let her touch me. Her touch was not painful, as I expected it to be, but gentle...healing. Her soft and soothing voice pierced the uncomfortable silence between us.
"You are to go back to the world...now is not your time."
"Y-you don't know...you don't say-" She cut me off.
"You have no idea how much everyone needs you. There are many people you love...you can't just leave them."
"I g-guess.."
"Good. Now go back. Tre is really worried...he's the only one who knows." She faded away, and everything went black. My eyes slowly opened to see Tre asleep in an ugly orange chair in the corner. I sat there, watching him sleep. Everything was fine...all thanks to the girl who entered my mind.
