Never Too Late

[Adam Bomonti]

Tākarokaro Park. A place Adam Bomonti had never been to. He had just returned to New Zealand while off on vacation in the Americas visiting old friends and relatives. He was gone longer than expected. Caring to his grandfather who passed away. It was hard. The man had showed him everything there was to magic. Everything there was to flying and everything there was to kindness. Adam wasn't always the caring person he was today. He used to be ruthless. Mean. Nasty. His father and grandfather changed that in him though. In a sense, they changed his life. No. They saved his life from destruction and evil. Adam was on the path of becoming someone nobody wanted him to be. All that changed though. From wise words. From love. Now that he was back, there were many new things to his hometown of New Zealand. For example the park he was in. Completely new. It was pretty nice. It was good to see more things of nature in scene. He had only been back a few days. Not many people even knew about it. So much crap had happened. He didn't even know where his children were. Where Melodie was. His wife that never happened. Aiden and Lucus. He never even got to met them. It was hard, but he had to move on. He had to forget about them. Otherwise it would tear him apart. Make him go crazy. His vacation although was to help his grandfather was a much needed one to get away from everything. He was still an Auror and loved his job very much. It gave his life meaning. It gave him something to do. He loved stopping dark forces. He learned more about them than he ever believed he would do so.

Adam was walking down some pathway forgetting his troubles. He'd just returned and signed in at the Ministry to get off his leave of absence. He still had a few days to get his head clear and was going to take full advantage of it. He greeted people as he walked and gave them a warm smile. Although it was nice to get away, it was really nice to be back. It was good to be home. Good to be back where he grew up. He wished this park was here when he was growing up. There was pretty much nil when he was just a boy. He had to create his own fun. Create his own music. He was sort of a loner back then. Now he had friends. However he was lacking a good friend. Someone he could turn to. He didn't know however if he could ever trust someone like that. His own wife didn't want to be with him. It was actually his fault really. He was such a fool. He needed somebody to talk to. Somebody he could share his secrets with. He had many. They were caving his chest in. Destroying him slowly.

Presently Adam walked up on a bench. He was a bit tired of walking. He decided to sit down and enjoy the view. Watching people pass him by. It was growing dark. He decided he'd stay and clear his thoughts. He needed to find himself. He needed to be awaken from the darkness that seemed to loom over him ever since Melodie and him split. It was like a rain cloud was looming over him everywhere he went when he was in New Zealand. It was rather annoying and he just needed a friend. No. Anyone. He wanted some company. To clear his thoughts. "Who am I?" He asked himself. Aloud though.
