Need you Now; Lady Antebellum
CLICK Song-Fic
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause
I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
She knew she should phone. Her mobile sat in front of her, on the coffee table. But her hands, one clutching a glass of wine, ignored her hearts instructions to reach for it. Instead, she listened to her head and turned her gaze instead to the window. Standing up and pulling her cardigan closer to her. She stood before the window, her hair ragged into a bobble, her face bare make-up. It was a good job, too, because tears streaked down her cheeks, as she leaned her forehead on the window. She missed him...
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I've lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping
In the way you did before
Staring at the photograph in his hand, occasionally glancing up too see her standing just across the room, his pulse raced painfully. Outside, he could see it was dark. Dark and cold. Two words he would have used to describe how he felt inside. Part of him had been warmed by the one he had lost. The part that had been broken all of those years ago...only to be trashed and burned when his world crashed around him. He couldn't be the only one who remembered...he just couldn't. It wasn't fair...it wasn't right. His heart broke all over again, sitting in his lounge. He gulped the last of the whiskey.
It's a quarter after one
I'm a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I've lost all control
And I need you now
Torn apart by actions they couldn't stop...separated by years, boundaries and god knew what else, it seemed hopeless. Neither knew how or why they had been ripped from each others lives. Destined to live without the comfort of each others presence. Each stalked by a mirror of the one they loved...Each tormented by "what if's". Each making their own paths to fix it but missing each other in the process.
And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now
Guess I'd rather hurt
Than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone
And I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk
And I need you now
Nick Cutter and Claudia Brown belonged together. They knew it. That was why they weren't allowed to be. Messing with time messed with reality, and messing with reality had consequences. Nick and Claudia paid for their actions. They paid by losing each other. And they both swore never to do it again.
Oh baby, I need you now
