One Shots & Imagines [Requests Open]

Another Life (OC/Chris Motionless)

Italics are flashbacks. Story for my friend im_asher

3 A.M.

Chris attempts to call his girlfriend Aliannah for the 50th time within 12 hours.

"I'm sorry Ali." He says.

Ali sits on the doctors table weeping.

Chris and Ali found out that the child they had recently been excited about had miscarried.

"Why me?"

"This is Ali. I'm not here right now. But if you leave your name and number, I will call you back as soon as I can."

Click.

Chris couldn't stand it anymore, so he got in his car and drove the 45 minute path to Ali's apartment.

When he got there, he knocked on her door.

No answer.

Tries again.

Still no answer.

Chris double checks to see if her car is still in the lot.

Yep.

Screw it.

He throws himself against the door until he caves way.

The sight before horrifies him.

He drops to the floor next to her body and screams.

"No. No. Ali!"

He then cradles her lifeless body, while dialing 911.

Chris was walking down the street when he sees a girl about to shoot up an unknown substance.

He then walks towards her.

"Why would you do that to yourself?"

"No one loves me." She says.

"Come with me." He says outstretching his hand.

"How do I know you're not a serial killer?"

"Touché."

Before everything becomes a blur for Ali, Chris picks her up.

Ali wakes up to lights and beeping.

She looks and sees the handsome goth stranger who had saved her life.

"Hey." Chris says.

"Why do you want to help me?"

"I had a friend attempt suicide and since then I vowed to help anyone I can."

Paramedics came and rushed Ali away.

Chris had called his band and followed behind the ambulance.

One Hour Later

Chris had been pacing the floor while his friends had been trying to get him to sit.

"Worrying won't make getting answers come faster." Vinny said.

"She's in good hands." Ricky chimed in.

"Aliannah Gilbert?"

Everyone sitting down got up and walked to the doctor.

He placed a hand on Chris' shoulder, "Miss Gilbert injected herself with a lethal amount of heroin laced with an unknown substance. We gave four rounds of Narcan and tried all lifesaving and resuscitating measures, but unfortunately we couldn't save her."

Chris ran up the stairs all the way to the roof.

"Why Ali?," He shouts to the sky with tears in his eyes.

"Chris?" A voice calls out.

He turns and sees Ryan.

Ryan gives him a hug and grief overcomes Chris, and the two friends collapse to the ground.

Three Years Later

Motionless In White were on tour to support their album, Disguise.

"I would like to dedicate this next song to a dear friend who had passed away three years ago."

Chris looks up at the sky.

"This is Another Life."

If I can't let you go will darkness divide?
For the fiction of love is the truth of our lies
We were playing for keeps, but we both knew the cost
Now the only way out's in your heart shaped box

But I hate that it seemed you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding but never gave up
And I hate that I made you the enemy
And I hate that your heart was the casualty
Now I hate that I need you

As we rest here alone like notes on a page
The finest to compose could not play our pain
With a candle through time I could still see your ghost
But I can't close my eyes, for it is there where you haunt me most

I hate that it seemed you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding but never gave up
And I hope that I sing through your memory
As we echo through time in the melody
Now I hate that I need you

And I hear you now when you said "It hurts, but it had to fall apart to work"
As I see you now in what's left of me
Is it too late to plead insanity?

'Cause I hate that it seemed you were never enough
You were broken and bleeding in the name of love
And I hope that we meet in another life
I don't hate that I need you
