Lincoln's Journey To Recognition 2

A Mother's Nightmare

Victor reenters his room by using the window and sees Julie sitting on his bed looking at his journal with tears in her eyes and an angered expression.

Victor:"Julie? What's wrong?"

Julie:(angry;tears up)"Is it true,brother?"

Victor:"What are you talking about?"

Julie:"Is it true that by killing yourself will make everyone feel better?!"

Victor:"I'm better off dead,because all I ever do is make things worse."

Julie:"Mommy told me that you got mad at her,because you were worried about losing me. And she told me that you think that you're the reason I ended up in the hospital."

Victor:"There's no one else to blame,Julie. It's my fault. If I never told you to come to my soccer game that day,then you'd still be hanging out with your friends,having kisses from your girlfriend,and living a normal life."

Julie:"But getting rid of yourself won't help anyone! I don't want to lo-"

Victor:"I know!"

Julie flinches at the tone of Victor's voice,but still stands firm.

Victor:"Everyone's better off without me. And you know that."

Julie slaps Victor across the face. While it didn't do any damage,it showed that Julie was not giving up on her older brother.

Julie:"Everyone else may hate you,Mommy included,but I'm still here for you,brother. No matter what."

Victor:"Okay. Fine. Anything for you."

Julie hugs Victor's waist tightly.

Julie:"Thank you."

Victor:"No problem."

In her room,Sandra was having a nightmare. In the nightmare,she was trapped behind an invisible wall and witnessing Victor and a teenage Julie fighting each other. Damien was on the ground,almost dead.

Teen Julie:"You almost killed him,Victor! What the hell are you doing?!"

Victor:"You're in the way,Julie! You're always in the way!"(groans in frustration)"I could've fixed everything!"

Teen Julie:"How?! By murdering him?! That's not who you are!"

Victor:"Don't try to mentor me! You're the one running away from your problems!"

Victor hits teen Julie with a suplex and a kick to the stomach.

Victor:"You're the one hell-bent on revenge!"

Teen Julie:"Revenge?! I just wanted to protect my friends and family! Protect you!"

Victor:"You're not better than me!"

Teen Julie:"I'm not saying that!"(in mind)"Maybe I can use the bell to get through to him!"

Teen Julie rings the bell that Damien used on Victor during their second fight to stun him. Then,she hits him with a few attacks. Victor stops the bell from ringing and slams teen Julie into the ground and Sandra puts a hand over her mouth in shock.

Sandra:(quietly)"Oh my God..."

Victor:"I have to kill him! It's the only way for us to be free from all this pain! You just want us to suffer even more!"
