Disclaimer: I do not own Evanescence, any of their songs, or any Code: Lyoko characters. I do, however, own Dawn. My friend, Dark Silver Angel (AKA Janette), has agreed to let me use her original characters Anita and Daimion in later songfics.

Random outburst: I like watermelons!

Janette: "Dear God, she's finally lost it.."

GOING UNDER by Evanescence Odd raced to the bridge, hoping he wasn't too late to save the girl he cared so much about. When he got there, he saw her perched on the top rail, ready to dive in.

"Dawn, wait!"

She turned to look at him with hollow eyes that clearly told him that she had given up the will to live any longer. Now I will tell you what I've done for you

50,000 tears I've cried

Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you

And you still won't hear me



"Dawn, please come down from there." Odd offered his hand to help her down, but she just looked at him as if trying to believe, trying to forgive him. Then she gazed out across the water. Don't want your hand this time, I'll save myself

Maybe I'll wake up for once

Not tormented daily, defeated by you

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I'm dying again



"Why should I come back, Odd? You and Ulrich shunned me when I needed your support. I love you, Odd, and Ulrich is like a brother to me. You abandoned me because of something that wasn't my fault."

"We were wrong, Dawn. Please don't do this."

"Goodbye Odd. I love you."

Dawn jumped off the rail.

"NO!!" I'm going under

Drowning in you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

I'm going under

As the water engulfed her, Dawn thought of everything she and Odd had been through together. She remembered how at Aelita's materialization party, he had hugged her close and whispered his undying love for her into her ear. Then, when the school's gang leader brought her to shame, he had left her to suffer alone. Was his love a lie? Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

So I don't know what's real and what's not

Always confusing the thoughts in my head

So I can't trust myself anymore

I'm dying again



Dawn felt a hand grab her wrist, and turned to see Odd. He dragged her to the shore.

"I'm not going to let you just die, Dawn. I love you.

Dawn made no reply. Her breath was short, and her vision was quickly fading. I'm going under

Drowning in you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

The last thing Dawn saw was the paramedics and Odd's face above her, like a beacon. She closed her eyes and the last thing she remembered were Odd's anguished cries as the paramedics told him the sad news.

"No, Dawn! Please, anything but this!" So go on and scream

Scream at me, I'm so far away

I won't be broken again

I've got to breathe

I can't keep going under



A couple of days after Dawn's death, the young man who had raped her the week before was found dead in his dorm, apparently from taking a cyanide pill. No bottle was found in his room, but in a corner of the factory, hidden away, was an almost full bottle. Only two pills were missing. Odd's body was found the next day on the same stretch of beach he had tried to save Dawn on. A search of his person produced only a small photograph of himself and a sandy-haired, green-eyed girl laughing together. On the back, only three words were written.

"I love you."

THE END

Thank you for taking the time to read my songfic. I really appreciate it.
