//------------------------------// // The Pages // Story: I'll Be There, Octavia // by delfin //------------------------------// Vinyl looked around and didn't see anything. Then, like a bullet she felt a rush of pain towards her. She screamed and covered her eyes and fell into time itself. She lifted her hoofs from her eyes and saw that she was in.. Octavia’s house. She looked around, seeing that Octavia was nowhere in sight. She looked in the house window and saw her own house, she also saw her, Vinyl in her own house. She looked at her hoofs and couldn't see anything. She couldn't even feel her body anymore. Then, she saw Octavia. Vinyl gasped, as Octavia was looking at her, but she went right pass Vinyl like she wasn't even there. Vinyl followed Octavia into her room to see what she was doing. She saw that Octavia was writing in a small notebook. Vinyl waited for about 3 minutes before Octavia lay down in her bed. Vinyl then went over to read what Octavia had wrote. She first looked at the front cover of the notebook and it was labeled “Vinyl Scratch”. Vinyl looked at the first page. “Vinyl, you should come to the park with me this Sunday! We’ll have a great time! - Octavia.” Vinyl looked at more pages. “Vinyl, I haven’t seen you lately! I've tried calling you but you didn't pick up! Get in touch with me as soon as you can. - Octavia.” “Vinyl, you still haven’t called I hope you have a chance, I’m not upset I just think it’s weird you haven’t said anything in a while. I’m starting to think you’re not great Vinyl, Please talk to me. - Octavia.” “Vinyl, I’m starting to think there’s something wrong. I really want to hear from you. I’m getting upset Vinyl, please I really need to talk to you. - Octavia.” “Vinyl, I’m starting to think you killed yourself, I’ve called the police but they haven’t done any good. I’m freaking out Vinyl. I need you right now, ******** left me and I’m all cold and alone. - Octavia” The more Vinyl read, the more she realized how important she was to Octavia, and how Vinyl failed to be there for her. Vinyl soon felt that same pain and wind for about a minute and soon saw where she was. She was with Octavia in a park. She remembered that this was where they met. Vinyl stood there and witnessed the event that changed both of their lives forever. She knew that it was on this day, on this hour, on this minute that changed both of them. What Vinyl had to do now was going to change both of them forever. She was sure this was it. This was the reason for this. For once in her life, Vinyl didn’t need Octavia. Vinyl needed to be there for Octavia. Vinyl wrote the note and knew what she had to do.
