Ok, this is my first song fic, so bear with me if its kinda odd.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Pitch Black (not that I actually mention them anyway) and I don't own the song "Run" by Snow Patrol.
Run- By Snow Patrol
We'd been together for years. Running from planet to planet. Together, always together. I loved him, and he loved me. In his own way.
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
We could never stay anywhere for more than a week. But I didn't care. As long as I had him, I knew everything was all right, and always would be.
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
We had a fight. He hit me. That sent me over the edge. I walked out on him. Told him he had to run by himself now.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
He found me eventually, told me he was sorry. I said sorry wouldn't cut it. Tried to get away. But before I did, he kissed me for the first time. And I changed my mind.
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
We were almost caught one time. We got separated, I was stuck in an alleyway, and he was nowhere in sight. I wanted to call out to him, but I knew it would endanger both him and myself.
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
I managed to get back to the hotel we were staying at, and I spent the night crying in the bathroom, thinking I would never see him again. In morning he was there, drying my tears. Then he said it was time for me to stay behind. And not like before when I would follow later. This time it would be for good.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
He left me alone. But somewhere inside, I knew he was with me. I tried to get on with my life. Got a job, got a small apartment. Months afterwards I got a letter. It was from him, saying he was coming back to get me.
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
When he came I told him I didn't want to leave. I had a new life. And I had fallen for someone else. But he wouldn't hear it. I told him to leave. To come back only if I ever asked him. He did so, and I didn't see him again for years.
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
I got married. But it wasn't working so a few years later I got a divorce, and took my daughter with me. At night I would tell her stories, about how her mommy used to have a great life with a man she loved very much. But she gave that up. And for what? Some continuity. A man who was too childish to be a husband and father. I never really wanted this life.
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Caitlyn, my daughter, would be afraid that I didn't love her when I told her of my feelings for this life I led. I would reassure her she was the only thing that was right with my life. She grew up knowing that.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
When Caitlyn was six, I got a phone call one day. All the voice said was "hey" I said hi back, then the voice hung up. I knew who it was. And I knew he would come to me, whether I wanted him to or not. And he did come to me, the next day. I told Caitlyn to go to her room and lock the door, and not to come out until I said so. I asked him why he waited seven years to come back to me. He said he was the one waiting for me, and he got tired. He wanted me back. I explained to him that I had a daughter who was a bigger obligation to me than he was. He understood, and said he would stay as long as he could.
