Today started out as a normal day i woke up to some dubstep, Octavia then screamed at me from the kitchen to turn it off, i yelled no and waited for her to come in and turn in off so i could hug her.
"So where you off to today Tavi?" I said while i hugged her
"Oh well you know i was asked to play at the new art museum down in manehattan today. Would you like to come?" Octavia said with a joyful tone
"That sounds great Tavi, tell ya what you make me waffles and ill go"
"Why you little, fine ill make you waffles but you also have to dress up for the occasion"
"Ughh fine ill do it. now make them waffles woman!"
I felt satisfied after eating my waffles Octavia was always the best at making waffles even though they always came at a price todays was going to a art museum in fancy clothes no surprise to me. But i always had a secret for this stuff Headphones, i know it was wrong and i should have held up my word but i just cant do it so i installed headphones into my bow-tie for an occasion just like this i could now rock out to rusko and borgore with ease. After getting dressed up and Tavi obsessing about how cute i looked when i wasn't a slob we headed out for the museum. We got there right on time because of Tavi's impeccable timing. The ribbon was cut and Tavi started playing it sounded like Bethovens fifth but that was the only song i knew so EVERYTHING sounded like it but i didn't care because i turned up the dubstep and everything was fine.
"Might as well see this art thing while i'm here" I quietly thought to myself. Turns out i like modern art; still after about an hour i got bored of it but kept up a good performance for Tavi.
Four long boring hours later Octavia was finished with her entire set and the museum was closing so i waited for Octavia to put everything away so we could leave. The whole way back Octavia whined about a hoof cramp or something so i decided to take her to a doctor ms. garbandion or something stupid like that she had a very nasally voice but i had to tolerate it for Tavi.
the doctor left the room, i looked at tavi and said "The shit i put up with for you" with a humorously disappointed face.
"thats nice dear" Octavia cooed with a sweet face my grandmother always made.
The doctor rushed back into the room barely holding on to the clip board. she then fell flat on her face mumbling with an obviously emotional face.
"riiiight..... and that was?" i questioned
"Oh i am soo sorry i am the newest doctor here and its my first day, so far the others don't like me" Ms. whatever said in an almost sad tone (i couldn't really tell because of the nasally voice) "well then Octavia is it? you need a few x-rays then you may go"
"okay lets go. Oh wait can she come along? she is kind of my support" octavia exclaimed cheerfully as she pointed to me
"oh sure she may come along as long as she doesn't break anything" the doctor said with a smirk.
we all laughed but i was still glad that Octavia actually wanted me to come along.
After another long wait for the x-rays to develop we found out that Octavia fractured a hoof bone and would have to wear a cast for a while, 9 months to be exact. Octavia didn't stop crying that night because the doctor said she might not be able to play violin ever again. I did all i could to comfort her but nothing really helped. it was official she was depressed.
The next morning i ran as fast as i could to the pharmacy to get some anti-depressants for Octavia because now she NEEDS them. Today instead of waking up at her usual snobby hours, she woke up at 2PM didn't get groomed up didn't bother to yell at me to turn my music off or even get up to make food. I stayed by her side even though i had a big gig in Los Pegasus, i just didn't care about it anymore, she was more important.
A month or two into her treatment she seemed happy again and even started getting around again saying hi to lyra and bon bon but mostly just going to the café down in the french district for a daily coffee. She told me that she can get along alone for now and that i could go to reschedule the gig in Los Pegasus. i didn't think that it was right to leave her alone but she insisted that i go. She got me all set up with a cab, luggage and my DJing equipment so i set off for the club (i never did catch the name).
It was a struggle to get the club owners to agree to let me play now but with talent like mine they simply COULDN'T turn me down. I had my setup ready and started playing that night everyone cheered and danced, it is always pleasing to see fans of yours scream your name. All of the Ecstasy i took and alcohol i drank must have sent me into a euphoric party mode because when i awoke the next morning i was in a bed in manehattan 100 miles away it was a nice suite too VIP room, probably the owners way of thanking me after "having there way" with me.
i felt insanely hungover from last night but got up anyway because i was ready to go home. But as i got up i saw a note on the table in front of me it read:
For Vinyl Scratch
Thanks for the amazing performance last night and i promise i nor my brother or anyone else touched you well other than me carrying you to this suite after you passed out from partying too hard.
Well anyway i ordered room service for you to come at noon and there is 800 dollars in the envelope in this card you did great!
Sincerely,
the Sinch brothers
Well that was nice of them i guess, i just couldn't help but wonder if Octavia was okay. I was worrying myself she was probably fine and even if something happened Lyra and Bon Bon were there for her. i just really cared for her and if anything happened i wouldn't know what to do. In the midst of my thought the room service knocked on the door which i immediately opened because i was starving.
"They really out did themselves" i thought to myself as the waiter brought in dishes of caviar, tiramisu and tri tip steak (all of my favorites). The waiter excused himself as i chowed down on all the food in front of me, i couldn't help it i was a little piggy.
By and by i finished my food and checked out, the stallion at the counter was very nice and had a very heavy swedish accent. With that i headed out to home again the walks from ponyville to manehattan were very long but music always helps me through them. on the way back i checked the café to see if Octavia was there. i asked the waiter if he had seen her today he said no so i left this didn't worry me as Tavi did get bored of coffee quickly.
Next i went to Lyra and Bon Bon's house to see if she had stopped in there for anything. I knocked on the door and Lyra answered with a big grin on her face because i never really come over other than to get Octavia home.
"Vinyl! Come in, Come in! you are seldom over here. So what bring ya here?" Lyra cheerfully blurted
"I actually came over to see if Octavia had come around at all while i was gone" i responded in an equally cheery voice
"Welll she came over yesterday and borrowed some rope and some CD's from orchestra concerts we did this year and last"
Rope and CD's what the hell is she doing? the thoughts made me worry for her. I rushed home as fast as my legs would take me and got there in under 5 minutes I could hear the music from outside and that soothed me a little, i could go inside now. Even though i felt better i was still kind of afraid to go in, to my very own house none the less, but i was going to go in anyway. I reached for the door handle, turned it and opened the door. The music was even louder in here than outside.
to keep my ears from bleeding i turned off the music and walked inside. i looked perfectly normal inside; no books off the shelf, no chairs fallen over, nothing just like i left it. i walked by my room and saw it was even clean, Tavi must have done it. i got more and more curious as i got closer to Octavia's door i tried opening it, it was locked; i got very scared.
I opened the door what i saw had changed my life forever......
It was Octavia hanging off of the fan by the rope, she committed suicide.......
Seeing her lifeless body hang from the ceiling made something in my mind click all i could think of was What if that was me? what if this happened to me? WHY WASN'T IT ME? i urned to do the same as Octavia now i grabbed a knife from the kitchen and went back to Octavia, levitated the knife up to my neck and was ready to cut. Then in an instant there was a voice in my head it was Octavia she said "don't do it, there was nothing left in life for me but i still live on in everything you will do from now on." I dropped the knife and fell to the ground crying i was never going to forget.........
