Broken and Fixed - (Conor McGregor)

Chapter 25

The thing about life is, it pushes you until you break just to see if you can put yourself back together. It is an aspect of every human being's life and this aspect creates experience.

Life went on for Conor. He was breathing, he was eating, he was fighting for his living but he promised not to love anyone ever again. Determination and focus were the two things which were placed inside his soul and his success had never been so high. Before, he was only the King of Ireland but now, he was the King of the world. Every continent knew him. They bowed down to him and he promised to rule their hearts. He had become a sensation.

"Conor, we need to leave." His agent walked into his dressing room right after he was done with his match. He had obviously won.

"Yeah sure, amigo. I am just coming."

"No time. There is a huge crowd waiting for you and it is to be cleared. I bet you would not want to sign those autographs now, would you?"

"Fine, let me just change." He stood up as his agent left him to get dressed. He hurriedly did so and left the room to find his agent waiting for him.

He was followed by his two guards and his agent as they made their way out of the arena. Surprisingly, the crowd was easy to avoid because of his brawny guards and Conor was relieved to leave the arena so early. He detested being in his workplace.

"I must go to the gym." He sighed before turning to his agent. "I hope you wouldn't have a problem with that."

"You are your own master. Go ahead. If you're feeling blue, don't hesitate to talk to me. I will be at your home, planning your dinner."

This made Conor smile. "Thanks pal, you've been managing my affairs so smoothly."

"No need to thank me, McGregor. This is my job, I am your agent." He lent him a pat on his shoulder before leaving with one of his guards.

Conor still had one guard, but he wanted privacy so he dismissed him and hopped into his car before driving away from the place. He wanted to vanish, but the thought of success was brought back inside of him and he sighed ever so deeply. He knew not the reason for his depression but he knew the solution, and that was to exercise, to work it all out, this made him decide to go to the gym.

Just as he was on his way, he received a text message from his agent, saying; 'Don't forget to eat something on way. You did not even have breakfast.'

He stopped by one of the coffee shops on his way and got himself a sandwich, and for some odd reason, he chose to eat the sandwich in the shop only.

The people recognized him, but were afraid to disturb him. This did not have an effect on him though.

"Hey." He heard a spiritual voice but he saw no one. "Look behind."

He stood up and turned around to confront the substantial shock of his entity. His heart was beating, but against a chest which felt so hollow. His eyes saw, yet the world that was so close around him seemed so far. The ground slipped away from beneath his feet and he turned as pale as snow, with lips which lost all colour too. His arms and legs trembled in such a way as if he had just seen a ghost, and he indeed had.

"Missed me?"

He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out of it. His voice was stuck in his throat and it denied to come out. Such was his astonishment.

"I know you're shocked. But at least say something." Her hand travelled towards his cheek as she brushed his pale skin, slowly caressing it.

"You can't be-" that was all his mouth could utter.

"Be alive. Yes, I can't be alive. Do you understand what that means?" Her red lips turned into a huge shady smirk. "That means I'm a ghost. A spiritual, mystical being."

"No."

"Conor." Her expression changed immediately and she grabbed his hands, placing them on her heart. "I am your Anora. I will always be yours. Some day, we shall meet again, but for now it's a goodbye. Promise me that you will always love me."

"I promise Anora. I will love you for eternity." He mumbled as he moved in closer for a small, soft kiss which lasted for only a few seconds.

She forcefully pulled back and whispered the words; "I love you Conor. Forever and always." Her eyes became tearful and she started to vanish into the air.

Slowly, she was gone, but her memory remained in his heart. He finally felt fixed and complete.
