I only own Erika.

A Year Without Rain

Ooooooooohh
Ooooooooohh

It's been a year since he left me, but it only seemed like a couple days ago that he left me here. I haven't been the same since he left, I don't even know what to do with my life anymore. He's gone and all my friends can say is 'there's better fish out there.'

Can you feel me
when I think about you
with every breath I take
every minute
No matter what I do
my world is an empty place

They're wrong. He was perfect just for me.

The only my friends thought would cheer me up was to take me to a club, a club I used to go with him.

Like I've been wonderin the desert
for a thousand days ( ohhuh )
Don't know if it's a mirage
But I always see your face, baby

"It'll be fun!" They tell me. I'll never have fun while he's gone.

I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh

My friends drag me into the club after dressing me in a red mini dress and black stilettos. They put hooker like make-up on me to cover my red and puffy face. Yes, to this day I still cry.

We made our way to the dance floor, squeezing past other people. I watch as my friends start dancing together. They look at me and smile.

"Erika, just let it loose!" My friend Theresa told me. I only shrugged. She and a couple other of my friends tried for months to get me out of my flat, today was their success.

The stars are burning
I hear your voice in my mind ( it's in my mind )
Can't you hear me calling
My heart is yearning
Like the ocean that's running dry
Catch me I'm falling

"Here dance with this guy." My friend Sue tells me as she pushes a tall good looking man towards me. He looked down at me and smiled.

"Hey." He simply says, but that's not what upsets me. His brown eyes resemble his brown puppy dog eyes. I throw my hand up to cover my mouth and the tears just pour out.

"Did I say something wrong?" The man asked as he grabbed my wrist but I yanked it out of his grasp.

"Don't touch me." I hissed at him.

"I only want to make sure you're okay." The man replies as he tries to grab my wrist again but another pale hand grabbed his wrist.

It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet
won't you save me
There's gonna be a monsoon
When you get back to me
Ohhhh baby

"She said don't touch her." A familiar voice tells the man. Suddenly I was being pushed off the dance floor.

"Let me go!" I yell as the new guy pushes me out one of the back doors to the club. Once the door closes I turn around to face him.

"Are you alright?" He asks me. He tries to graze me with his hand, but I step away from him. He moves his hand to his blonde locks and rubs his head.

"It's been a while hasn't it?" He asks with a small grin. I don't answer. I just glare at the man who left me. His brown eyes look into my blue eyes. "You've changed…"

I'm missing you so much
can't help it, I'm in love (love)
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side (side)
don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh

"BECAUSE OF YOU!" I yell at him, but he continues looking into my eyes.

"I'm sorry." I couldn't help it. His angelic voice made me break down once again. I cover my eyes with my hands and listen as his footsteps come to me. He wraps his arms around me. "Why…" I whisper to him.

"I didn't want you to leave your life behind to come with me. You'd be stuck with my twenty –four seven and be sick of me. I wanted you to be normal and have fun." He lifts my chin and to look into my eyes once more. "But I guess me leaving you made it worse. For both of us, I could only think of you."

"Tom, my life is only to be with you, even if you're not famous." His eyes widened and then his face softens once more, with a small smile appearing on his lips.

"I'm sorry I left you."

"You're a jerk." I said, burying my face into his chest. He chuckled, but it sounded just like he was singing…to me.

So let this drought come to an end
And may this desert flower again
I'm so glad you found me
Stick around me
baby,baby,baby,whoaa
It's a world
No wonder
With you in my life
So Hurry baby, Don't waste no more time
And I need you here
I can't explain
But a day without you
Is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh

"A day without you is like a year without rain." I looked back up at him. He smiled at my shocked yet confused expression. "Erika…I love you." Tears rolled down my face, but these were tears of joy. Thank you.

"I love you too Tom." He smiled and lifted my chin up with his fingers.

"Say it again…please…" He said with his eyes closed.

"I love you-" Before I can even say his name again, his lips are on mine.

His lips are so soft and tender, but warm. Just like all the times we kissed before, but this was different. My whole body warmed up just from this kiss and I ignored the cool fall air. I kissed him back making our kiss even more passionate.

When we broke apart I put my hands on his cheeks and looked straight into those puppy dog brown eyes.

"Never leave me again." He smiled.

"I'd never leave you again, I'll only take you anywhere with me." He had me sold. My life just started all over again but this time with Thomas Michael Fletcher.

I'm missing you so much (much)
can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side (side)
don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh
Ooohh, Ooooooooouuhh

And with that we kissed one more time, beginning our new life.
