Dream Scream - Adam
It was a dark and lonely night, especially for Adam. He laid as still as possible in the middle of the bed just thinking about Her. The most beautiful and perfect girl he could possibly imagine, and for a moment he had Her.
*he drifts off to sleep and Dreams*
He remembers the day he laid eyes on Her at a friend's party. She walked in as if she was floating on air. Her friends closely followed Her through the entrance, but to Adam they simply blended into the background. He only focused on the vision of the gorgeous One in the middle. She of course attracted the attention of guys and girls everywhere, they all wanted to know Her. She finally met Adam's eyes and for a moment the whole party faded out of existence.
*moves to the next Dream*
He remembers a picnic in the park. Watching Her smile at every corny joke he made, both knowing how terrible it was but not caring. Her laugh was soft and comforting, like hearing that perfect song at the end of the day. Just the thought of being in Her company was more than he could stand. Then he said I love you.
*flashes of images go by in his Dreams*
That radiant smile of Hers and how Her hair fell on her shoulders. She was the picture of perfection and love. He told Her, "I love you, forever and always! This is true and nothing can waiver it."
*moves to the next Dream*
With a little black box in his hand, he runs up the stairs to Her apartment. Ready for The Question. He opens the door only to find that someone beat him there. He walks into the bedroom to find his love being the love of someone else. She quickly retrieves Her hands from around the other guy's body and retracts Her lips from his. "Wait!" She calls as Adam quickly retreats the room and runs back downstairs into the sunlit street.
*Adam wakes up*
Adam sitting up right couldn't believe She could be worthy of doing something so cruel to someone she loved. But was it love that kept them together? He keeps thinking that. Every good thing that happened to him was because She was in his life and that everything from then on would come easy. The absolute love of his life had left him and She never said 'I love you' back.
*remembering the discussion on the phone*
"I'm sorry Adam!" strain coming from the voice on the other side. "I can't believe you did that to me. And to think I wanted you as my wife." She pleads, "Please can we talk about this in person. I have something I want to say and it can't be done on the phone..."
*the next day*
He meets Her on the steps of her apartment. "I never meant for any of this to happen or to hurt you the way I did. It was a mistake and it will never happen again." (Adam not entirely convinced) "Adam I love you! I do and I feel like I betrayed your trust. Never again will I do that. Please forgive me!" (no response) Through tears and heartache but attempting a smile, "I found that box. Please tell me there's something you still want to ask me?" "Yeah... there is. Can I have my ring back." Adam turns to leave Her apartment steps for the last time. She was left there crying.
*Adam now fully awake walks to the window overlooking the city*
"I can't leave Her. I love Her too much." He then notices the answering machine flashing...there was only one message. "Adam? I know its impossible to forgive me, but can you some day? I need you! I don't know what else to do. Adam, I lov...(click) The next move was decided. He quickly picked up his keys and shoes and fled his apartment. Running and running, nearly all across town to Her apartment. He ascended her steps, much like he did that fateful day. He approached the large brass handle and opened the apartment door. His eyes stared out into the destroyed living room to see Her laying on the sofa, a knife on the end table, and two dark red slashes across Her perfect delicate wrists. Looking as innocent and beautiful as She did before.
*he woke up*

New Concept
I'm going to try and write short stories that go with music...awkward concept I know, but I've been listening to a lot of different kinds of music and it got me thinking of stories that would be perfect for them. The object of this is to get the feel of the story through music. Trying to listen to the music and reading the story at the same time. The music helps score the story like a movie. Which brings me to this. My first 'Music Story' will be to the song Dream Scream, originally by Daniel Johnston, but I'll use the Death Cab for Cutie cover. Hope you enjoy it!
