Fine Again

Rating: PG-13 for language and thematic elements

Author's note: Hi, LiveWire here. Short song-fic about the reason behind Sev's depression in Guardian of the Night. Read to find out why!

It seems like every day's the same and I'm left to discover on my own It seems like everything is gray and there's no color to behold They say it's over and I'm fine again, yeah Try to stay sober feels like I'm dying here

"Sev, This is it! I've had it with you!" "What the fuck did I do!" "You exist!" "Yeah, so do you! That's no reason for you to stop loving me!" "Yes it is. It is when you were caught with that Amy girl." "Clarissa, listen. THAT BITCH RAPED ME!" "Yeah. You seemed to be enjoying it." Clarissa walked away from Severus, leaving both of them in tears.

And I am aware now of how everything's gonna be fine one day Too late, I'm in hell I am prepared now, seems everyone's gonna be fine One day too late, just as well

Sev ran after her. She kept walking faster. "I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. Oh, and I LOVE YOU DAMNIT!!!" "Well, 'sorry' and 'I love you' won't cut it this time." "I'll NEVER leave you!" "Yeah. That's what you say." Clarissa grabbed a sword from the nearest night armor.

I feel the dream in me expire and there's no one left to blame it on I hear you label me a liar 'cause I can't seem to get this through You say it's over, I can sigh again, yeah Why try to stay sober when I'm dying here

"Clarissa, NO! I love you too much to loose you!" "Yeah, then you wouldn't have gotten near that Amy bitch." "No. I'll never let you go!!!" Sev cried. But it was too late. Amy thrust the sword through her stomach. The sword went all the way through her. Severus collapsed into a heap.

And I am aware now of how everything's gonna be fine one day Too late, I'm in hell I am prepared now, seems everyone's gonna be fine One day too late; just as well

"Sorry, Sev. I loved you at one point. I think I still do. I promised you I'd love you until the day I died. Well, today's the day." "No! Clarissa! Hang in there! NO!" Clarissa closed her eyes and let herself die in Sev's arms. Sev burst into tears. He kissed her dead lips. Color faded from her body quickly.

And I'm not scared now. I must assure you, you're never gonna get away And I'm not scared now. And I'm not scared now. No.

"No. This is it, Clarissa. I'll NEVER love anyone else. I'd take my life, but I haven't found my purpose. Now I'll never find my purpose. Your purpose was to teach me how to love. And what love is. I love you..." Sev whispered into her ear, even though he knew she couldn't hear him. "You're in heaven now, smiling down on us, hopefully watching over me. I love you. I always will."

I am aware now of how everything's gonna be fine one day Too late, I'm in hell I am prepared now seems everyone's gonna be fine One day too late, just as well I am prepared now, seems everything's gonna be fine for me For me; for myself. For me, for me, for myself For me, for me, for myself

End...
