cred k o sa fac si niste ficuri in Romana (Dupa melodii de la Vama Veche, Directia 5 etc). But, until then...
Wonderful – A story about Faye’s past (Bebop Characters, Everclear's song)
“Will you just keep quiet?!” Faye yelled as she entered the living room, where Spike, Ed and Ein were fighting for a pyoko, under Jet’s bored eyes.
“Can’t you make them stop, Jet? I’m trying to get some sleep!”
“Yeah, like I’d risk my neck just so you could sleep… It’s like getting a piece of flesh from the middle of a wolf pack, they’ll eat you alive!”
“Uhh! Do I have to do everything myself?!” She jumped over the others, grabbed the pyoko from their hands and stuck it in her mouth. “There, now you don’t have a reason to argue anymore!”
“Jet, that’s why I hate women with attitude problems. I hate kids and dogs, too, but I know what to expect from them… And I could have taken the other two if she wouldn’t have come…”
“Bark! Bark!”
“Ed want pyoko! Pyokopyokopyokopyoko…”
“JUST BE QUIET!” Faye yelled with tears in her eyes.
Silence. The only thing heard was her panting.
“Faye, are you crying?” asked Spike cautiously.
“You drive me out of my mind, I’m crying because I’m … I’m just overwhelmed… I haven’t slept the last four days… AT ALL! I just… I just want some sleep…”
“You could have said so… Jet, do we have enough money to go and eat out?”
“Yeah, there’s enough. So we go out and she stays. We eat, she sleeps and we all get some peace and quiet.”
“I’ll be quiet…” said Spike, and Ed started laughing.
Finally, Faye could go to sleep. She lied down in her bed and as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep. She started dreaming about her childhood. In her dream, she was lying on the floor, looking at the ceiling. She closed her eyes and started whispering “Why? Why is my life this way? Why can’t I have a normal family? No arguments, no screaming, no tears, no nothing…”
I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
I close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it’s over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
She heard her parents argue again. Tears started pouring from her closed eyes onto her cheeks and on her hair.
I hold my Mom and I hold my Dad
Try to figure out why they get so mad
I hear them scream I hear them fight
And say bad words and make me wanna cry
“This is going to end and everything will be fine afterwards. I know it will… It has to be!” She got up from the floor and sat down on the edge of her bed and hugged a pillow.
I close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream adventures that would make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday
The door opened and her mother entered.
“Hi, sweety… How are you?”
“Mom… why are you fighting with Dad? Don’t you love him anymore?”
“It’s not that…” In her Mothers eyes appeared teardrops. “Everybody has misunderstandings. That’s all… But these things go away as time passes, and they don’t mean nothing. Faye, everything is alright, even if problems appear from time to time. These problems… Well, they won’t be no more soon… and everything will be wonderful again, honey…” The woman tried to smiled, but her eyes got wet from tears. “I’m sorry, honey, I have to go and make dinner.”
Mamma’s says mean everything
When you’re little and the world’s so big
I just don’t understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
And tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don’t tell me
Everything’s wonderful now…
Suddenly, there was a change in Faye’s dream. She was on a bench, in the school yard, crying. Her friends appeared in the yard and little Faye cleaned her face from tears with her sleeve. When her friends were close, she managed to make a happy face.
“Faye, have you been crying?”
“Is anything wrong, Faye?”
“Oh, no… It’s nothing… I-I just… I just took hurt my ankle on the stairs…” She smiled widely, though sadness was present more than ever deep in her eyes and heart.
Go to school and have fun and play
I tell the kids that it’s all OK
I have to laugh so my friends won’t know
When the bell rings I just don’t wanna go
I go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don’t believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Faye woke up. She grabbed her pillow and went in the living-room, where she sat on the sofa, embracing the pillow. She saw her mother repeating her that everything will be wonderful, the tearsin her eyes and realized that her childhood wasn’t happy.
Mamma’s says mean everything
When you’re little and the world’s so big
I just don’t understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
And tell me everything is wonderful now
She heard steps and, turning her head, she saw Spike.
“The others are in the park, eating cotton candy… I came home, didn’t really like the idea of eating pink fluff…”
He then saw the look on Faye’s face.
He sat down, lit a cigar and offered Faye one, thing which he never did before. She refused with a brief move of her head.
He pot off his cigar, and looked at her.
“What’s wrong with you?”
She just stared at her hands without answering.
“Faye…?”
No response. He grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her to face him, but she turned her head away.
“Faye, what’s wrong?”
He shook her. The pillow fell on the floor.
“Look at me!”
She looked.
“What happened?”
“I had a dream… about my childhood…My parents were always fighting… I wasn’t a happy kid, Spike…” She started crying and he embraced her.
“It was just a dream, Faye… It doesn’t mean it really happened…”
“I know it did, I just do!”
“Shh, it’s gonna be fine.”
“That’s what my Mom said, but it wasn’t fine!”
I don’t wanna hear you say
Everything’s wonderful now…
I don’t wanna hear you tell me
Everything’s wonderful now…
“Faye, people grow apart, if they fall in love, they can fall out of love… You should understand. But maybe their lives… and yours… would have been better if they would have accepted the situation and move on…”
“You mean they should have split up and marry other people?!” she asked, pushing him away.
I don’t wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
I don’t wanna hear you say
That you’ve gone a different way
I don’t wanna meet your friend
And I don’t wanna start over again
I just want it all to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don’t tell me
Everything’s wonderful now…
I don’t wanna hear you tell me
Everything’s wonderful now…
Please don’t tell me
Everything’s wonderful now…
“Look, if they didn’t split up it’s because they cared about you more than they cared about themselves, they refused their happiness so that you could have yours. They didn’t realize you were unhappy and that’s why they created that false idea of security and of a happy life! You don’t live in the past, you live in the present, you can’t change what had happened, but you can make your life from now a lot better… It’s all up to you, you don’t depend on anybody but you… And I’m sorry that I can’t be of more help, but I suck at this stuff… Now think about what you can and cannot change as I go and buy myself some pink fluff!”
He walked away, leaving Faye confused. She realized that what had been in the past, seemed from another life, her past did not define her. That was her family from a past life. Now, in this life, she had a joyful, though weird family. She had an uncle (an: Jet), always there to calm things up, always watching their back. She had an older brother(an: Spike) with green hair and weird behavior and a little sister(an: Ed) with an even weirder behavior. They even had a family dog, who she liked, even though it got on her nerves most of the time.
She smiled and took a cigar from Spike’s pack, which he happened to leave on the table, “by mistake”.
Uh, yeah, everything’s wonderful now
