The familiar memories are going through my head.
I lay awake, staring at the black clouds covering the sky. I could see the faint glow of the moon. It was trying to be seen. To be noticed. I couldn't see any stars.

I could hear the faint footsteps of people passing by late at night. I don't know why they chose this time. Judging by the moon, it was almost midnight. The powerful street lights were dim. I've had enough.

I could hear the small cries of animals. There's often a dead one you see every once in a while. I heard screams. A woman, I'm guessing. I don't care. It's a cruel world. This is giving me a headache.

I went to retreat to my small alleyway. I need to find a place with shelter, and an easier source of food. It's not very comfortable, but this will have to do.

I placed my head on top of my old shirt, using it as a pillow. I rested on an old blanket I had found lying on the side of the road. It was dirty, but at least it was kind of soft. I used my think, dark jacket as a blanket. And I drifted off to sleep.

"No! Stop... Please!" Yelled Phil. I watched as he was beaten by a baseball bat. I watched on as a woman clad in black came up to Phil. Her slim body dragging a wooden stick. She lifted it up and hit him. Over and over again. Blood was over everything. The floor, the stick, the woman's hands, the bat, Phil. They stopped, and saw me. I was frozen. I couldn't move. I was caught by two hands. They covered my eyes and mouth. I collapsed, but I could feel everything.

~~~

I woke up with a scream. My upper body shot up. I covered my face with my hands and sobbed ever so quietly. I couldn't bear these things. The same dream came to me. Every night. I've realised that it was my fault that Phil was arrested. I haven't seen him in the past two years. Hell, i don't even know if he's still alive.

So many things happened these past few years. I went to my parents, and told them about me. They didn't care. I was grateful. But, I told them about Phil. About how I saw him be arrested. They didn't know who Phil was at the time. I told them about how I've tried to find Phil. That was the issue. They didn't like the fact that I was trying to meet a 'criminal'.

They kicked me out, and then moved to some other town. I haven't seen them, since.

I also tried to get in touch with Phil, like i said. But no one let me talk to him. I do know, however, that Phil is in the local prison. I will get to him. I will get him out.

Eventually, Phil and I will reunite.
