This is for Ninja's iPod Shuffle Contest; it's my first story. The song is "I Can Wait Forever" by Simple Plan. While I was writing this, I was listening to the song at the same time. Hope you like it!
[Set not long after the Clue Hunt]
"Ian!" Natalie Kabra called. "I'm going shopping! Do you want to come?"
Ian sighed. "No, I don't," he called back.
"Okay then," she said cheerfully, heading out to the mall.
He frowned and thought for a moment. What was he going to do now?
Then Ian had an idea. He got his iPod and put it on Shuffle. Then a random song came up-one that he didn't really listen to most of the time. So now, he listened to it.
You look so beautiful today
When you're sitting there it's hard for me to look away
Yes, that's true, he thought. You're always beautiful, Amy.
So i try to find the words that I could say
Actually, there's nothing I can say. You make me speechless.
I know distance doesn't matter but you feel so far away
So far away... on the trail of the Clues.
And I can't lie
I can never lie to you.
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I wanna come back home to see your face tonight
I just want to keep on seeing your face... nothing else.
Cause I just can't take it
The guilt is crushing me!
Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever
I can wait for your forgiveness for all eternity.
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won't stop bleeding
Like now... I miss you so much. My heart is bleeding.
But I can wait
I can wait forever
I can wait for your forgiveness for all eternity.
You look so beautiful today
Yes, that's true, he thought. You're always beautiful, Amy.
It's like every time I turn around I see your face
Since Korea...
The thing I miss the most is waking up next to you
I really wish that would happen.
When I look into your eyes
When I look into your lovely jade green eyes, all my worries seem to fade.
Man, I wish that I could stay and I can't lie
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
Especially in that blasted cave in Korea, I never want to leave you again.
And I wanna come back home to see your face tonight
Cause I just can't take it
I can't take the pain...
Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
Yes, that's true. I really can't stand being away from you.
But I can wait
I can wait forever
I can wait for your forgiveness for all eternity.
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won't stop bleeding
Like now... I really miss you.
But I can wait
I can wait forever
I can wait for your forgiveness for all eternity.
I know it feels like forever
I guess that's just the price I gotta pay
I'd gladly pay that price as long as I'll get to be with you.
But when I come back home to feel your touch
Makes it better
You make everything better, Amy...
Until that day
Until that day I left you in the cave and almost got you killed.
There's nothing else that I can do
There was nothing else I could do at that time. I was so focused on winning...
And I just can't take it
I just can't take it
I really can't take it anymore! The pain and guilt is unbearable!
Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
Yes, that's true. I really can't stand being away from you.
But I can wait
I can wait forever (I can wait forever)
I can wait for your forgiveness for all eternity.
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won't stop bleeding
Like now... I really miss you.
But I can wait
I can wait forever
I can wait for your forgiveness for all eternity.
I can wait forever
Can you ever forgive me for all the things I've done to you during the Clue Hunt?
I can wait forever...
Can we ever be friends again?
After the song ended, Ian turned off his iPod and pulled out the earphones. Should he go and apologize to Amy Cahill? But another question rang in his mind: will she forgive me?
