Disclaimer: Not mine, not mine, not mine. Even the basic plot isn't mine. It's based of a musical titled "Mary Lou" (only in Israel ;)), with a change of some things to suit the plot and characters better.

A/N: This is an AU (Alternate Universe) story. Some characters are not where they are supposed to be or not how they're supposed to be or not in the place you're used to see them at. You'll see.

2008

He sat on the stairs, looking around. It all seemed so familiar, but so distant.

He looked backwards, then. He loved the way it looked. Just like it looked before

His dream came true. Finally, it came true. He managed to get what he always wanted. And he was happy. Truly happy.

Except for the part of him that was always kept down. The place in his heart that shut down years ago, and could never be opened again. The thing that was missing, and will never be found.

He stood up. He gave up on trying to move on years ago. Stepping towards the door, he opened it, having it meet the doorstopper, which was fixed on the ground. He leaned against the doorframe and sighed.

Always the same dream. Always the same outcome.
