So-Young's Fan Fiction

I wrote my fanfic about a movie called "If only"
If only was directed from Gilbert Junger in 2004.
(I do not own If Only, I'm just a fan who used Ian and Samantha in my fan fiction.)
I hope you enjoy reading it as this is my first time writing a fan fiction.
This movie had a huge effect on me when Ian woke up on the day of Samantha's graduation concert and Samantha was beside him. but i don't know whether it was Ian's dream or if it was real , so I'm still confused about it but the movie was interesting for me.


No such thing as If

“Let me be thankful that I knew you and loved you to death.
What am I going to do talking about the past, it’s not like I can turn it around.
If sometime when I get to think of you and get sad, I will call your
name and try not to be sad. But I’m still going to love you and think that
I just can’t see you in front of me.”



  Ian woke up the day after the accident and as usual he reached to the other side
of the bed as if Samantha was still beside him, sleeping. But he realized what has
happened yesterday and tried  to open his eyes but it was hard as his eyes were swollen.
He looked around the room and sighed deeply. "Ahh.. what a mess.." thought to himself.
The room was in a big mess and so was Ian. Drink bottles were everywhere and Samantha's picture was all over the place. He closed his eyes but the happening of yesterday kept appearing in his mind. Samantha looking at him, smiling at him and then bang! Car was wrecked and Samantha was covered in blood. "AHHHHH!!!!!!" screamed Ian with full of tears and full of anger as the day was passing by even though Samantha wasn't beside him.

He pulled himself up and just sat there, doing nothing except blaming himself how he wasn’t good enough for her. If he could go back to the  past and change the future, he would,
but it was impossible, unless he could try and build a time machine that anyone couldn’t have. He had some doubts, but thinking of Samantha by his side made him confident.
He would be the happiest man alive if he could see Samantha again. “Yes. I can.” said Ian confidently.

If he was going to build a time machine, he had to start his study based on engineering and dynamics etc. Even though Ian was only concentrating for his studying, it wasn’t easy to master his study. People around him thought he was going crazy and some got scared. But Ian was just fine except he really missed Samantha. After the lecture, he went to the library to study as if the library was his home. One woman named Lina got curious about Ian and walked towards him. “Hi, I’m Lina. I see you are studying dynamics.” “Hi, I’m Ian and Yes, it’s harder than it seems.” said Ian chuckling. “Do you need some help? I have finished that course last year. Where are you up to?” said Lina. Ian was quite disturbed by her but he didn’t wanted to be rude to someone who he has just met. Lina explained how to understand dynamics easily and it was a big help to Ian.

From Lina’s big help, Ian graduated and became a professor in one of the top university and from that day, he started to build the time machine. The machine that is going to take Ian back to the past. “So far, so good!” said Ian. While lecturing students and by building a time machine, time was passing by quickly and finally, he had done it! He had actually built a time machine. “This will be my last day of being a professor.” said Ian to the students. “Why? Are you going somewhere?” said one of the students. Ian started to tell his past story to the students but they didn’t believe it. “But professor, you don’t know whether it will work or not.” “I know it will. Take a photo of me now. In the future, you will see me somewhere.”


And it was time for Ian to go back to the past.

BOOM BOOM POW!
.
.
“What? Have I really done it? What year is it now? What day is it today?”

He turned on the TV and his phone started to ring.

“Hello?”
“Ian! Where are you?”
“Samantha? Is..is that you?”
“Is everything ok? Aren’t you coming to see me?”
“Of course I am! I will be there in 10mins!”
As soon as Ian saw Samantha in her dress for the concert, he hugged her and told her how much he loves her. It was weird for Samantha but she was happy.  After Samantha’s graduation concert, Ian tried not to take the taxi and suggested Samantha to walk and after a few minutes..


BANG!!!    CRASH!!!

“SAMANTHA!!!!!!!” Ian cried out loud.
”This can’t be happening!! We didn’t..!!! We were walking! NoNoNo!!"
He was so sure that he could save Samantha but it wasn’t easy. Ian ran back to the time machine and went back again, to the day of Samantha’s graduation concert. When the concert was over again, he told Samantha to sing for him before they go out. That way, he and Samantha won’t be in the accident. The song was over and it was time for Ian and Samantha to go home, but Ian was afraid to go out. The streets were quiet as usual. No sign of the accident, no screaming.

He was relieved and worried at the same time. Ian and Samantha started walking on the other side of the road just in case but, no luck. Samantha was gone again. Ian kept trying and trying. He tried changing the dates, but it just wouldn’t work, and because of Ian kept going back and forth, the reality equilibrium has broke and the world went crazy. Ian was so angry, but no matter how hard he tries, he realized he can’t change the situation and can’t save Samantha. He decided to make the world turn normal again by going back when he wasn’t born. That way, he won’t remember Samantha and won’t be sad for the rest of his life.

This time, it was his last time using the time machine. He had to stop. Otherwise, the world would be destroyed. He set the time machine to the year that he was born and put it into self destroy mode. If he is lucky and if he starts his life over, maybe the future would change.


BOOM !

  1. Wow, this story seems quite heart gripping, the way in which Ian continued even against the odds to try and first meet Samantha after her death and to save her from it. If there were any errors it would have been a little more description of the actions but on the whole a sad story which would leave anyone reaching for tissues.

  2. Hi So-Young, I really enjoyed your story. Especially the end, the heart wrenching decision he made to go back to the year he was born so he wouldn't remember her is testament to the love he has for Samantha. I liked that it ended on that note, it's open for interpretation; for example, would future events change, or are they destined to meet? If you were to continue your story, It would definitely be interesting to see how you play out the characters.
    I do agree with Farish in terms of descriptive narration.
    The paragraph where Ian woke the day after the accident, you could perhaps go into a little more detail about his surroundings, or his physical state of mind.
    Overall I felt so much compassion for Ian, and his quest to save Samantha despite numerous failures. Sometimes love doesn't conquer all.
