I can hear their voices
Someone is calling
I can see their face
Someone is smiling
[Time check: 8:30 am]
I look at the time, it says already past eight o'clock in the morning. My class already begin and here I am seeing myself lying in my bed while looking at the brown ceiling in my front.
The school granted me a sudden vacation due to the events that happen in my life, a real life and death event that affects me both mentally and emotionally.
'I am tired'
I muttered and close my eyes.
I am hoping to have this pain go away. Why am I the only one who needs to know and experience this agony and this despair.
'If I can only die'
I said in small voice then I hear a ear splitting scream behind me, while staring at me with an emerald color in her eyes.
A little fairy in white is lying with me on my bed
She said a big no while pouting afterwards
"You cant Kiro"
Her voice felt soothing all of a sudden and I just close my eyes and did not give her an answer.

The world I hate
The life I loath
Still dazzling
Still sparkling
I decided to take a walk and find a new pace, I have given such vacation it will be a waste to just sulk in the corner of my room.
That's what I thought but I just wanted my mind to wander.
To be free
To let it roam
Cause I am tired
As I lost in my thoughts I felt a bump in my head, an orange ball hit the back of my head. It is a small basketball like a miniature version of the original.
Then I hear small tap going towards to me. A little boy with sprained leg is walking, no, not walking but dragging his feet towards me or precisely to the ball I pick up.
I tried to lessen the distance of his walk and will give it to him but suddenly I stop.
The boy with sprained leg
He slowly goes towards my direction
Dragging his feet, struggling towards me
He did not stop
He did not waiver and when he arrive he get the ball from my hands with a smile.
Why
I ask
Why you need to struggle and endure such pain, if you can only give up. Why do you need to continue. Never again you can walk and play the ball like what you have used to be.
'Only Death can save you'
I thought and walk away

[Time Check: 3:00 pm]
I've been walking for quite a long time now yet I did not felt even an ounce of fatigue, after a few more minutes of walking I felt hunger and buy some bread in the nearby store.
I sit in the shade of a big tree near the river on our town. The wind breeze felt so warm and relaxing. It put me in peace, I felt someone is giving me a nice breeze to make me sleep and then when I woke up.
I'll see my mother preparing my favorite lunch while my best friend which became my lover recently will wait for me at the front door.
I'll felt awkward because I made her wait so to repay her efforts ill bring her lunch and we will go to the school together, might be our hands is going to bump then suddenly ill hold it. Accidentally, ill tell you.
Then…
Then…
There's no after.
Suddenly, I woke up due to the commotion or ruckus happening.
I can hear a familiar sound
A sound where everything starts
The sound so beautiful but brings so many death
A siren.
Someone is going to die today.
I get up and look at the direction of the siren someone got hit by a car. The scenery is very familiar, just a few days ago I'm in that position lying on the ground. My body is slowly becoming cold and hoping… to live.
Hoping to live.
I run towards that person and grasp his hand when I look at the face of that person, it's the boy who is playing basketball.
In his small hands, he grasps the ball so tight, the ambulance is coming they are going to save him, for what.
For what purpose do you continue to live.
You've been injured already and then you got hit.
"Do you think you can still be saved?"
I suddenly voiced out my thoughts, then the boy smiled at me.
"I will…"
He answered with all his might, with his remaining voice.
The sound of siren is getting louder, but his life will not make it before they arrive.
I see you wanted to live.
Even though you've been battered.
Even though you've been hurt
You still have the guts to live, you still have the will to continue

The nice breeze I felt as I run felt so nostalgic
The dream that I have has been shattered
I cannot dream always
I need to move forward
I step my feet and begin the sprint towards him
Towards the boy who has a small basketball toy.
I run and run until I am out of breath and make it time before the accident happen
I reach his hand and stop him from following that ball.
The ball pop up because of the car that passed through
The boy felt confused and bewildered at the same time.
Yet he did not ask anything he just turn around and once again he said a small thank you
With a big smile on his face.
[Time check: 5:00]
"Dyne"
I called the name of the fairy in white garbs and emerald eyes
"Thank you for saving me"
I said while tears running down on my cheeks and smile at her afterwards I see a very beautiful emerald and gold glitter in my front together with a dazzling smile
