This is a song I wrote, and it just kind of turned into a song-fic. So please read it, and review and let me know what you think. It's one-shot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
I know you're always there
Even though you never seem it
Zack looked at Freddy, seeing the familiar blank look they had all learned to recognize over the past few weeks.
And she's obsessed
Whenever you're here
Hearing a sound, Zack looked up, and seeing Marta walk in groaned, as she did exactly what they all knew she would – made a bee-line for Freddy.
She can't see the fear
In your eyes
Freddy looked up in shock. She just couldn't seem to realize he needed some time to himself, to accept the fact that she was elsewhere and move on.
Your brown eyes
So deep, so deep
His eyes filled with tears, remembering how she had always known when to leave him alone, and when to comfort him.
Whenever I look
I'm afraid of falling in
Marta tried to catch his eye, but tripped and fell over, and lay there making no effort to get up.
And I fall (fall, fall)
But you catch me in your arms
He remembered how she had once fallen, and he had caught her. She had said how she loved the feeling of his arms around her, how she felt safe and protected.
Although you're not really here
Not really here
At all.
Only even he hadn't been able to protect her from moving, and now she was gone.
She knows all about you
Everything there is to know
Marta kidded herself that she was his soul-mate, just because she knew his favorite band.
But not the important things
Like? Like...like...like?
But he had asked her once if she knew why he had loved Katie so much, and she was forced to look away. Katie hated it when people looked away.
Like the fact that you hate peanuts
And the fact that you love books
Katie hated peanuts too, like him, and it sounded dumb when he thought about it, but it had mattered to them. They had used to read aloud to each other, and she had been surprised that he liked reading. He had surprised her a lot.
Just the little things That don't matter at all
Like the fact that you have brown eyes
And she had surprised him when she told him how much she loved his eyes, his brown eyes.
Your brown eyes
So deep, so deep
It had been his fault.
Whenever I look
I'm afraid of falling in
He felt like he was falling, he could see that she was hurting.
And I fall (fall, fall)
But you catch me in your arms
Only he couldn't catch her this time.
Although you're not really here
Not really here
At all.
'Cause she was gone. That was what they all told him. She was gone.
And I feel you
Though you're gone
But they didn't understand that he still felt she was here, still speaking to him, still messing with his hair, still looking into his eyes, still feeling safe in his arms.
But I know
You still live on
She was not gone. She was here. With him.
Every day I see, hear, touch you
Although they're trying to take your memory away
Don't take this all away
'Come on, dude.' Zack said, startling him. 'Accept it. She's not coming back.' But Zack didn't know. Zack couldn't see her, couldn't hear her, couldn't touch her.
Now its all that I have left
And I know you were the best
'You need to get rid of those photos, her bass, her...her...'
'Her memory?' asked Freddy, looking up. 'Don't you see? Those are all I have left of her.'
You're the only one for me
But oh, why cant you see
'Well, why don't you start dating again?'
'She's the only one for me.'
That I'm not hurting your memory
By moving on, away from you
'I can't let go, Zack.'
That's what they tell me that I need to do.
'You need to, Freddy. Katie died in that car-crash a month ago. Now she's gone, and she's never coming back. None of them are. It's just you, me and Marta. Don't hate us for being alive.'
