Summary : Rowan has problems ...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
" Wait, " Kento blurted, " I don't get it. Why is Scrooge - "
" Shut up! "
" Sorry ... "
Ryo, Kento, Cye and Sage were sitting in Ryo's living room watching " A Christmas Carol ".
" Where's Rowan? " Cye asked. " He was here a minute ago. "
" He's probrably off by himself again. "
" Poor bloke ".
Rowan walked out of the room. ' What do they know? ' he thought bitterly. Rowan walked
upstairs to his room and crossed to the window. He watched the pale snow sifting gently
through the air. ' They don't know what it's like ... '
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need for friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock
I am an island
" Don't they get it?! " Rowan burst out. He was about to slam the door shut, but thought better
of it. When he closed the door, he started to smile.
" I don't need them. All they do is get in the way. It's their fault I'm so miserable. "
He crossed back to the window.
" Actually ", he mused, " I don't mind being miserable. You can't be shot down if you're already
there. "
Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I'd never loved,
I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island
" Maybe we should go get him, " Cye said.
" Yeah. I'll go, " Ryo said, getting up.
" Hey, Ro! " Ryo yelled, knocking on the door.
" Go ... away. "
" Ro? " Ryo opened the door. Rowan was curled in the corner, facing away from Ryo.
" It's Rosalie, isn't it? "
Rowan spin around.
" STOP IT! I told you to go away! And I never ... never ... want to hear ... that n-name ... again. "
He was crying.
" Rowan. I'm sorry. We didn't mean - "
" Get out, Ryo. "
Ryo was hurt, but left.
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no-one and no-one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island
"' ... from my books surceased with sorrow, sorrow for the lost - ' Rosalie. Maybe ... maybe I'll just read.
Rosalie, you gave me this. "
Rowan took a girl's picture from it's gold frame and threw it into the fire.
" Rowan, " Sage called from the door, " we're leaving ".
Rowan didn't say anything.
" Rowan - "
" No, Sage, just ... come on ", Kento pulled him into the car.
And the rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
Rowan sat huddled in front of the fire.
" I won't cry. I'm fine ", he sobbed.
