Alternate version: Tell Me This Isn't Happening. Archive Date: 4/25/2001 Tell me this isn't happening. Tell me this isn't real, that you're not really gone and that is some kind of dream. You can't be dead. Talk to me, Alex. Talk to me. Why can't I hear you? It's cold here. Why is it so cold? It doesn't matter. Nothing matters if I can hear you. What is that? A noise. Like a scratch. There. What is it? There it is again. It's close by. Alex? Is that you? Is that you calling out to us from in there? It is. It's you. I know it's you. Someone, everyone … do you hear that? Do you hear him? What is the matter with you people? He's alive, he's in there. Oh, God, we buried him alive. Open the casket, open it now. Stop singing that song, Maria. Alex is alive, he's still alive. We've made a mistake. Listen to me! Why can't you hear me? Max, no, don't put your head down. Help me. Help me pull up the casket. Why can't I move? Alex, help me. Do something. Make some more noise. Show them. Show them that you're really not dead. Come on, Alex. I know you’re in there. Push up the lid of the casket. You can do it. I know you can. Okay, I'll wait. I'll wait because I know once you've gotten out of there, you'll look at me with sleep still in your eyes and you'll wonder why I'm crying. Why everyone is crying. Tears of joy, Alex, tears of joy. Everyone will be so happy to see you again. Maria will look like she's going to faint but she'll snap out of it. Maybe even babble a little before she hugs you. Liz will stare at you silently and then break out in a smile. She'll hug you too and probably punch you in the shoulder for giving her a scare like that. Tess will breathe easy at the sight of you again. Michael will start screaming at you for letting Maria cry so much. Don't worry about that, okay? Valenti will pepper you with tons of questions. Just answer the one you want to. Max will ask for your forgiveness for not healing you right away. Please forgive him, Alex. He's not God, after all. You know it was Kyle's birthday yesterday, right? He'll like the birthday present you'll give him. Life on the day after he came to life. Your father will snag you by the shoulder, give you a squeeze and wrap you into a bear hug. I'll just stand back, crying my tears until I can't stand it anymore. Then I'll break into the throng, give a little wobbly laugh and offer you a kiss. A kiss that says thank you. A kiss that says hello, not goodbye. Well, I'm ready. Come on. You can do it, Alex. Alex? It's cold again. The wind is whipping up against my arms. No matter, I can rub my arms to lessen the chill. Rub. Up then down. My fingers catch slightly on the sleeves of my shirt. Rub. Up then down. I hear the noise. Oh, God. Oh, God, no. That noise. It isn't you, is it? It's been me all along. You're not getting out of there, are you? You're really gone. This is real, it isn't a dream. You're … dead. Tell me this isn't happening. -End- HOME ROSWELL FAN FICTION FAN FICTION |
