The Promise We Broke
Forever?
Never have we ever thought this day in our life will come.
Foxy
I swear I've gotten even more handsome
*staring at the mirror*
Kat
You'd have to be handsome first
Foxy
Hey! You don't even understand how handsome-
*gibberish about his looks*
And like always, everyone ignored his never useful words.
Rhys
*shake his head*
Who's up for-
All the hands shot into the air before he could finish.
Arya
*smack his head*
Language ricecake
Nik
This wooden head
*twist his ear*
Rhys
OKOK! DAMN LEAVE ME ALONE!
The air fills with laughter and happiness. Just something we always love to do.
The waiter walking past simply shook his head. It wasn't the first time we caused a mess like this.
Muffin
Who is going to pay today? My pretty self won't.
Kat
You have 180 of those. Whose bank account is being placed today?
Everyone look at each other and choas been.
All pointing at each other.
Val
Just do rock, paper, scissors
Tara
True! Older one needs to pay
Surf
Guys, just over it. I will pay
We all froze as we look at him if something unexpected happened.
Dyce
Hence proved, I'm not the only crazy one
Leoric
*looks at his watch*
Either time has stopped or the world is ending.
Kuku
Surf, can you repeat? My ears are not working
Surf
*flinch*
WHAT THE HELL!
YJ
We were just joking, thanks for paying
*run away*
Maddy
Thank you surfie
*hops away*
All of us rush away, not giving a chance to let him deny again.
Everyday was something more memorable, always on mess, fights, smiles. At the end, we were blessed.
Back then, we promised to stay together forever.
Tara
Yeah, I'm at the entrance
I look at the familiar setting. A lot has changed these 3 years and I wonder how everyone was doing.
The winds were cool as my driver pull up. I immediately got into my seat.
Driver
I hope you had a great time
Tara
*nods*
I did and also didn't
He started driving as we were chit-chatting.
Tara
Just missing my friends
Tara
Between, before we go home. Drop me at Kat's house.
Driver
Miss... you don't know?
Driver
Miss Kat is no more
And my phone slipped out of my hand.
Am I late?
I rejected to believe what he said.
Tara
*standing in front of kat's house*
The house was locked. The lock itself looks like it wasn't touch for years.
She was holding a watering jar which drops the moment she rushed and hug me.
Bunny
I thought I will never see you
Bunny
*pulls away to look at her*
I heard her sighs as she pulled away completely.
Bunny
What happened is already done. Forget it
I can see the tension on her shoulder as she picks up the watering jar and start showering the plants around the mourning house.
Bunny
She couldn't handle the separation
Bunny
*looks at her*
Everyone is gone
Bunny
Don't know, probably living their own lives
Tara
Bun, what went wrong... we were-
Bunny
Past is past forget about it
A hurtful pain pass through me.
I can see her gaze as if she's trying to read my expression.
As she tells me about what went through past 3 years... I feel suffocate.
Dead, Jail, Vanished, Ran away, Left...
Time passed as the night was coming and the tears on my face was drying.
Bunny
Don't blame yourself of what happened
Tara
If only...I never left...
Bunny
Even if you not left, would anything be changed?
Tara
*digs the nails into her palm*
Bunny
Forget about it. We have to move on, it's what life is about afterall
She stood up but I didn't. My phone has been ringing for hours but I don't care.
I lost every single person I ever cared for, loved for, lived for. All left... why am I still here then?
Bunny
Tomorrow Leo will be executed.
With silence she sighs again.
Bunny
That promise was meant to be broke... bye, Tara
I panicked as I stood up.
Bunny
*looks at the sky*
Wherever I can feel the happiness again
With a so not smile, she left. And I feel alone again
For another hour I stayed there, remembering all the memories of those idiots.
I look up at the sky as a shooting star passes.
Tara
*close her eyes*
(I wish to save my friends, to see them smile and laugh again)
My eyes snap open at the voice.
Author
This story has strong/dark concepts so if you have any problems. Then that's your problem dumbasses
Author
Your fault for being friend with my craziness
Difficult?
Maybe that was my worst choice. Or maybe... it was my only one.
Voice
Will you be able to?
The mysterious voice echoes directly in my mind. I spin around, but there was no one.
Tara
Am I imagining things?
I pinch my arm hard enough to leave a mark. It hurts like shit, definitely not a dream.
Tara
Girl- Boy- Alien- Who are you?!
Silence is the only response. They clearly have no intention of revealing who they are.
Tara
I want to be with them again
Voice
What if I send you back in time?
Tara
Is that even possible?
Tara
But there must be conditions right?
Voice
You can travel back multiple times, to any timeline you choose.
Voice
It will be far more difficult than you imagine
I glance up through the window at the night sky, watching the star shine.
Tara
I'll do whatever it takes
Voice
Remember what I said, it won't be easy
I saw a bright light flashed which almost made me blind.
I was in my old bedroom? Wasn't I...
Mother
*looks at her*
slow down, sweetheart
Mother
Honey? What's wrong?
Tears roll down my eyes without waiting for me to control as I just brokedown.
My legs gave up and I collapse straight into her arms..
My mother... my mom was alive.
Before I moved out, I lost her to a silent illness she kept hidden from me until it was too late. After that, I was left completely alone.
When I moved out, I lived with my dad and stepmother who were nice to me, but the feeling doesn't make me happy entirely as if something is missing.
And the only thing in my mind that kept me alive was my friends.
Mother
*wipes Tara's tears*
my beautiful girl, don't cry. You are breaking my heart too. What's wrong?
Hours pass as we talk, laugh, and catch up. Hearing her laugh again feels like a breath of fresh air after drowning for years.
I wish I could stay like this forever.
Mother
Sweetie, I was thinking maybe we should take a trip together? Just the two of us
And it strikes me again of why I was here.
As much as I want to stay here, I remember why I was sent back.
Even if it's unbelievable or a dream, I had to believe. How can I not? The fact that my mom is the undeniable example I can't overlook on.
Tara
Mom... I'm sorry, but I have some work
Mother
But sweetheart, you told me you want to spend time with me
And I understood when that voice said it will be much difficult.
Mother
*smiles*
It's ok, maybe next time then
Tara
I love you, I really do mom
Mother
Mom loves you much more
Even if there was a sadness and pain, there was a hope that she gave.
After a long time, I felt like coming back home.
