What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go?
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why? I just don't know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers

Bella's POV

My alarm beeps. I hit it relentlessly until it stops. I don't know if I broke it and I truly don't care. All I know is that today is Monday. A knock is heard on my door. "Bella, time to get up. You are going to be late!" I hear my brother's voice. "One more minute, Tony!" I yell. "Bella!" He protests and I get up with a grunt.

"What should I wear?" I ask him. "Green pants and bright yellow top. And white flat shoes, the one mom bought you." He replies. "Thanks!" I yell back. I quickly get dressed and leave my room. I find my brother sitting on the couch. "Tony! Since you got up early, couldn't you make some breakfast?" I ask him and he chuckles. "Bella, you know I can't make breakfast!" He says and I roll my eyes. "And for goodness sake, fix your hair!" He continues. "Shut up, Tony!"

I eat as fast as I can and wrap my hair in a bun, hoping that I can make them decent. "They are decent." Tony says, reading my thoughts. "Thanks." I mumble. "Fix your shirt a bit, Bella. I can't do it for you." He says and I do so. "What would I do without you?" I ask him. "You would be late for work." He laughs. I can't believe he is so happy after everything. "I wish I could hug you." I tell him. "I wish that too. But there is no time to get teary now. You got to look fabulus!" He says and I smile. "Will you come with me?" I ask him. "Always." He replies.

We get to the car and I drive away. "Oh Tony, what happened to all those wonderful adventures? To all those places I dreamed of us to go? What about Raphael's amusement park? We always wanted to go there." I ask him. "We have lived many adventures, Bella. And all those places are still there, we can go. We can still go to the amusement park." He replies. "It won't be the same." I look at him, with tears in my eyes. "What did I say about crying?" He moves his hand close to my cheek, but I am quick enough to dry my eyes and my cheeks first. "It will be almost the same." He says. He starts humming Queen's song, Bohemian Rhapsody. I chuckle. It's been a while since I last heard him humming his favorite song

We arrive outside my work. I take my phone to check the time. But instead of seeing what time is is, I stare at the wallpaper. It's a photo of me and my brother, when we were just adolescants. I was 13 and he was 17. He is hugging me tightly and lifting me up in the air. We are both laughing hard and looking at the ocean instead of the camera. "Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture and save it from the funny tricks of time." I mumble. "I know, Bella. I do too. Trust me."

I blink fast, discarding the tears. "C'mon." I tell him and we get out of the car. I enter the psychiatric institution. "Morning, Dr. Bella." They greet me and I nod. I make my way to my office, to start working.

Work today was very tiring. Thankfully, Tony kept me company all the time. Like he always does. Once my shifts ends, I take my things and get to my car. "Bella, don't forget about your appointment." my brother reminds me. "Do I have to go?" I ask him and he nods. "Fine." I reply and take a pill. I drive to the doctor. "Wait here." I say to my brother and go inside the doctor's office.

*Time skip*

I get out of the doctor's office with tears streaming down my face. I run to my car, only to not find Tony there. "Tony? Tony where are you? Tony come back here! Please! TONY!!" I start yelling in my car, like a maniac. I get out of the car and see Tony running down the street, towards me. "I'm here, Bella. Don't worry. I'm here." He says as soon as he reaches me. "Let's go home."
