This story is based "On My Own" from Les Miserables. I suddenly discovered i love that song and it would make a good songfic. so here we go!
Heather sat alone in the log. Everyone else is out foraging for food. She was thinking of RJ. Why couldn't they be together? Age? A tear rolled down her face. She sang to herself:
And now I'm all alone
again
Nowhere to turn, no one
to go to.
Without a home, without
a friend
without a face to say
hello to
But now the night is
near
And I can make-believe
he's here
She stepped outside and watched RJ disappear into the hedge.
Sometimes I walk alone
at night
When everybody else is
sleeping
I think of him and then
I'm happy
With the company I'm
keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside
my head
On my own
Pretending he's beside
me
All alone
I walk with him 'til
morning
Without him, I feel his
arms around me
And when I lose my way,
I close my eyes and he has found me
She climbed on top of the log, as rain began to fall. She dreamt that RJ was there beside her. His arms wrapped around her...
In the rain
The pavement shines
like silver
All the lights are
misty in the river
In the darkness, the
trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him
and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in
my mind
That I'm talking to
myself and not to him
And although I know
that he is blind
Still I say there's a
way for us
RJ fades away from her and she cries alone in the rain.
I love him
But when the night is
over
He is gone
The river's just a
river
Without him, the world
around me changes
The trees are bare and
everywhere the streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm
learning
All my life I've only
been pretending
Without me, his world
will go on turning
The world is full of
happiness that I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him...
But only on my own...
Heather awoke crying and RJ lying beside her.
