Chapters Octavia paused.
“Vinyl I have to tell you something”
Octavia Said.
Vinyl looked up at her.
“Vinyl, i-“
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
“Ugh!”
Vinyl said as she slammed on her alarm clock. She stopped and thought about her dream. The dream that she had for a long time; it would be the same thing. Octavia and her on a bench in the middle of the night and Octavia wanting to tell her something, but was never able to. As vinyl would wake up just when she was about to tell her. Vinyl had questioned this dream for years now. This had gone on for too long now. She wanted answers. Was she in love with Octavia? She didn't have a clue. Now here she was sitting up in her bed staying silent. She got her goggles on and headed outside.
She didn't know where she was even going. She stopped and looked around and saw a park. She went over and watched. It was only a few seconds later when she realized she was looking at a lake. Vinyl was spaced out. She left the park and went over to Pinkie Pie’s house. Pinkie Pie had been a friend of Vinyl’s for years now and trusted Pinkie. Although she didn't quite know why she liked Pinkie. Maybe it was her large amount of energy that seemed to never stop. Either way she was there. She knocked on the door and Pinkie soon opened it.
“Vinyl! What are you doing here?”
Pinkie said.
“Uhh”
The truth was she didn't know why she was there.
“Pinkie, I need to talk to you.”
Vinyl blurted out.
“Okey Dokey! Come on in!”
Pinkie happily bounced in and vinyl followed. Vinyl honestly didn't know why she was here. She had no intention to talk to Pinkie. What made her go?
“So, whatcha wanna talk about?”
Pinkie said.
Vinyl thought for a few moments.
“Pinkie, I think a have a crush on somepony..”
Vinyl said.
Pinkie smiled.
“Ohhhh! Who is it? I need to know!”
“I said I THINK.”
Vinyl quickly said.
“Why are you telling me this?”
Pinkie said.
“Well, because… I-I don’t know Pinkie. I've been having these dreams… and I-I It’s with A certain pony, a-a and I don’t even think this pony will consider being with me…”
Vinyl said.
“What are these dreams that you’re having?”
Pinkie said.
“Me and Octavia are sitting on a bench, in the middle of the night. Octavia says “Vinyl, I-“ then I wake up.”
Vinyl said.
“Wait, this pony is Octavia?!”
Did I just say Octavia?
Vinyl thought.
“Uhm, yeah. Pinkie what should I do?”
Vinyl said.
“You know Vinyl, there comes a time in everypony’s lifetime where this sort of things happens. This has even happened to me. I think that you need to trust yourself with this situation. You also have to remember that everything happens for a reason. So there has to be a reason for this.”
Pinkie said.
Well that wasn't much help.
Vinyl thought
“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
Vinyl said. Although Vinyl didn't really know what to think of this.
“Thanks, Pinkie.”
Vinyl said.
“No problemo!”
Pinkie said.
Vinyl soon headed off to her house just to think things over.
She soon blasted on some dubstep. But soon turned it off.
“Ugh!”
Vinyl couldn't even listen to music now. She felt like the entire world was on her. So now, here she was at her desk about to start crying. Why is this such a big deal? What was it about Octavia?
Maybe, just maybe this was for a reason. Maybe it’s her destiny. She thought and thought and thought but couldn't put the pieces together. She looked at the clock. It was 9 o’clock now and she was getting tired. She headed to bed hoping that she wouldn't have that dream again.
Octavia looked at her.
“Vinyl, I think tha-“
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Vinyl groaned and once again slammed her alarm. She sat up and thought about her dream again. Wait a minute. As she recalled, Octavia said: “Vinyl, I think tha-“. That means that she said more than in her previous dreams. Vinyl needed to know what Octavia was going to say.
Vinyl spent awhile in her house just thinking about herself. And why she was having these dreams and everything that’s happening right now. Eventually at around 7 o’clock she decided to finally visit Octavia. She went outside and headed towards her house.
“Yo Tavi! You there?”
Vinyl shouted
Octavia opened the door.
“Vinyl, I’m actually glad that you’re here. I have some news to tell you!”
Octavia said.
Vinyl excitedly went in and sat down.
“Vinyl, you won’t believe me when I say this but I...”
“Yes?”
Vinyl quickly said.
“I met someone!”
And just like that, Vinyl’s heart was smashed.
“Oh, that’s… Awesome Tavi...”
Vinyl said. She tried to sound excited but she felt like she was going to burst into tears, again why? Why was this so important to her?
“His name is ********”
Octavia said.
“Listen, Tavi I-I actually forgot I need to go.”
Vinyl quickly said.
“What? Why?”
Octavia said.
But by the time she said that Vinyl was gone. Octavia was upset, she thought that Vinyl would've been happy for her. She sighed.
“Oh Vinyl, what’s gotten into you...”
Octavia quietly said to herself.
She had noticed that Vinyl had acted a little strange lately. She decided to go over to Vinyl’s tomorrow, to see what was wrong.
Octavia woke up at 10 o’clock that morning. She made herself a cup of tea and headed for Vinyl’s house. When she got there, she did not notice any flashes lights, or loud music (Or what Vinyl called music) there was nothing, just silence. Octavia was worried, she knocked on the door
“Vinyl! It’s Octavia! Can I please talk to you?”
Octavia said.
Silence.
“Vinyl! Are you there?”
Octavia said.
Nothing.
Octavia noticed that the door was open just a crack, she then found herself slowly entering Vinyl’s house.
“Vinyl…?”
Octavia quietly said.
She heard something; she listened closer and heard a faint sound from Vinyl’s room. Curiosity got the best of her and she found herself slowly opening Vinyl’s door. She saw Vinyl sitting on her bed looking down with her headphones on, but that sound she heard was… Beethoven?! Octavia was astonished. She saw Vinyl look up in surprise.
“Oh um, hello Vinyl”
Octavia said.
“Tavi! Y-you startled me! What are you doing here?”
Vinyl said.
“I, um I-I”
Octavia said, as she tried to think of an excuse.
“Why were you listening to Beethoven?”
Octavia said, ignoring the question.
“Uhm, I-I-I..”
Vinyl had to say it.
“Well, since you always listen to classical, I-I thought I would give it a try.”
Octavia was confused.
“Vinyl, why have you been acting so… strange lately…?”
Octavia asked.
Vinyl was in trouble now. She couldn't confess… At least not yet.
“Tavi, can you just leave me alone?”
Vinyl said.
Octavia felt bad, Vinyl sounded so… Serious.
“Ok..”
Octavia slowly said as she made her way out of Vinyl’s place. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on with her friend, but she wanted to find out. It killed her to see Vinyl like this.
“Oh Celestia…”
Vinyl said to herself. She hadn't had a clue why she was thinking of Octavia again. This was crazy, ever since Octavia came over Vinyl hadn't sleep for 3 days. She was angry, confused, and exhausted. She felt like Octavia was important to her, but, no… It was more than that. She felt like she needed Octavia but she was too scared and proud to tell her. She didn't want to ruin their friendship.
Months later, she started getting better. She started to become her normal self again, but only for one reason: For Octavia. She saw that Octavia was upset to see her such a wreck, so she changed but it wasn't easy. But there was a problem, Vinyl had changed on the outside but on the inside she was still sad, and depressed, and scared of what was becoming of her. This was just too much for Vinyl, and she could feel herself disappearing as the years go by, but Vinyl would always keep a smile on her face. But eventually that stopped working. And she knew that she was back to square one, although she was always at square one.
It was 12 o’clock and she wanted to forget all her problems and just go to bed.
“Vinyl, I think that we need to talk.”
Octavia said.
“Uhm, ok..”
Vinyl said.
Octavia sighed. This wasn't going to be easy.
“Vinyl, you see, I-“
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
“NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!”
Vinyl screamed.
She thew her alarm clock on the ground out of frustration. What did Octavia need to talk about? What was it? Vinyl HAD to know.
That day she went to a pharmacy to get a dozen of sleeping pills. She wanted to go to sleep long enough so she could know what Octavia was saying.
When she got home, she immediately took 4 pills and lay down in bed. Vinyl needed to know what this was. She wanted to know what was happening in her life. She wanted to knooo….
“Vinyl, I think that we need to talk.”
Octavia said.
“Uhm, ok..”
Vinyl said.
Vinyl could feel the could piercing wind against her. She could feel this moment.
“Vinyl, you see, I’m scared Vinyl.“
Octavia said.
“Why Tavi, why?”
Vinyl quickly said.
“I’m scared for you, Vinyl.”
Octavia said.
“Me…?”
Vinyl said, confused.
“Yes Vinyl, you. You haven’t been out of your house in weeks.”
Had it been weeks?!
“I stay up at night, praying for you Vinyl. Praying that at some time you can be happy, because I know that you’re not happy right now.
Octavia said.
Vinyl quietly sobbed to herself.
“I-It’s true Octavia, I’m scared, and I don’t know what to do. You've been my friend for years now. My only close friend, an-“
“This is why I fear for you Vinyl. Look at you.”
Octavia said.
Vinyl looked at herself.
“No Vinyl, look at YOU.”
Octavia said.
Vinyl looked at her beautiful light purple eyes. And instantly knew what she meant.
“Octavia, I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused you.”
Vinyl said.
“Don’t be sorry Vinyl.”
Octavia said.
But Vinyl couldn't help it. She had to be sorry.
“Goodbye, Vinyl.”
Octavia quietly said.
“No..”
Vinyl said.
“Please…”
Vinyl said.”
“Vinyl, I believe in you. And I’m sorry, but I won’t be here.”
Octavia said.
“DON’T SAY THAT”
Vinyl yelled.
Octavia held Vinyl’s hand as she disappeared into the sky. Vinyl knew she’ll see her one day, one day…
Vinyl opened her eyes. She stared at the ceiling thinking how much pain she caused to Octavia. And how much pain she caused herself. Vinyl started crying. She had gone too deep, and there was no return as far as having a happy life for her. She thought about what she needed to do to make Octavia happy. Maybe this was for a reason, just like Pinkie said. Maybe, just maybe there’s a point to all of this.
As time passed, Vinyl saw less of the world. And saw less of her meaning in life. She took some pills and lay down. She didn't know what to expect now, it was all down to her dream now.
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.
“Dear Octavia, You don’t know me. And you never will because I would’ve made your life hell. I just want you to know that you’re the greatest pony I’ve ever met, and I want you to spread on your gift of making anyone happy to the rest of Eqestria. I want you to live your life Octavia, live it as proud and free as you can. I love you Octavia, just remember that. Your forever friend and lover, Vinyl Scratch.”
Author's Note
Well, hope you enjoyed it! Sorry If it's a little short, it's my first time doing a fanfic..
Vinyl felt the wind and the pain against her skin, as she jumped into time. She knew where she was. She looked at across the street and saw herself. She looked at the happy Vinyl listening to music and ran towards her in a flash and grabbed her and took her away to an ally.
“Hey! What the-“
It was done.
Vinyl had snapped the other Vinyl’s neck.
Vinyl breathed heavily and looked at the corpse. She didn't have much time left.
She ran as fast as she could to the park and placed the note on the bench. She watched as Octavia read the note in confusion. Vinyl sobbed to herself as she quietly said
“Goodbye, Octavia. I love you, so much.”
Vinyl felt herself fading away, getting lost in space and time. She was happy. This was going to be a better life for Octavia.
