Our Lives [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 1

"Christine!"

I opened my eyes, finding myself blinded by something bright. At that time, everything was blurry, I was dizzy and I couldn't think properly. But, the moment I realized where I was, I immediately used my hands to shield my eyes which were directly facing the sun until just now.

I finally sat up properly, my head still lightheaded from that dream. The dream that was a memory. That day, at that time, I thought we would still meet each other. We did though.

"Christine-"

But then, when we met. You were gone in an instant.

***

I stopped my train of thoughts until just there. I didn't want to remember the old memory which terrifies me. I just didn't want to, remember what I saw just then.

You were everything to me. Everything. I couldn't do anything without you. Even when you left, I felt like I would've been better of dead, but I knew that I could still see you again, so I didn't. Slowly and slowly, I started getting better. But, not good enough to be called happy again.

After you left, I have never smiled. Not even once. But, when I met you again that day 2 years ago, I could smile again. But then, that had to happen. That incident had to happen. It had to happen, to you.

Flashback Starts

"Christine!" I yelled, happy to see her again. While I ran towards her, she saw me and ran towards me. We finally met after 5 years being apart from each other. You were back, you were back! I could play with you again! Talk to you again! You and I can create some more fun memories!

"Anna-" She yelled back, also happy to see me again, that tears ran down her eyes. But then, BANG. A gun shot was heard. Turns out, this airport was going to be attacked by terrorists. They were already inside. Shooting randomly at everybody.

I looked at Christine, and saw blood on her body. I started to sob and sob. She smiled at me, the last smile I saw on her. She gave me the biggest smile of hers rather than a painful expression. Then, she gave me her last words.

At that time, I didn't hear her voice anymore. I was terrified of the truth. But I had to. I had to know the truth and accept it. No matter how much it terrifies me.

I had to accept the truth. To accept the truth. Fear started consuming me. I had to accept it. To accept that she, had died.

After the incident, my family was somehow save. My parents, siblings, and I. I was still sobbing, knowing that she was actually gone from this world. Gone and will never come back.

I tried to hold my tears but they all spilled out. I had to be strong. I had to live for her. I started remembering all the remaining moments we both had before she died. The last words she said to me. "I'm glad that I met you, Anna."

Flasback Ends

I slapped my face to wake myself up. I didn't want to remember anymore. I didn't want to. After remembering those memories, I had to concentrate on something else. If I didn't, I would keep thinking about it.

I slowly looked at my alarm clock and saw that I had 3 more hours until school. I knew I couldn't sleep, and even if I could, I wouldn't want to have any more dreams like that.
