The outline shone against the lights of the city, a familiar shape that leaned towards the edge of the building as if the figure were about to-
"Jump" He croaked, registering what was going to happen. "Cassie!" His voice boomed, for once overpowering the monstrous city.
"Sid?" Her voice, that unique beautiful voice echoed down the alley.
"Cassie! Please don't- I'm" Sid looked around, searching for a way into the building. "I'm coming up. Hold on."
He spotted a door pulled it open to find a set of stairs. He began his way up. Running, running like he never had in his life. Unlike all those days in fitness, all his school career, his pace seemed to increase as he went and by the end he knew what it meant to fly, to race past the world so quickly. He needed to get to her. He couldn't lose someone else, more importantly he couldn't lose her again. He reached the top floor and heaved the bulky, metal door open. The cold, foreign air pierced his face and then he saw her. He saw her properly for the first time since, oh god, he couldn't even remember.
"Oh wow. Sid, you found me." She was crying and then he realized he was as well.
"Some fucking hide and go seek." They seemed to walk in unison both taking steps toward one another, meeting at the center. They hovered there for a second, neither believing what they were seeing.
"I've been so alone Sid."
"Me too Cass." He felt the bitterness for her return. It had messed everything up so many times, but he couldn't help it, she made him like this.
"Sid, I'm so so sorry, I never meant to- It was Chris, I just couldn't- I ran. I always run. But wow, Sid, my lovely, lovely Sid, you came to find me."
"Of course I did. Of course." He felt himself shaking, he couldn't hold it in anymore. All the isolation, the loneliness since he lost her and Chris at the same time, it came flooding back. "Why Cassie? Why did you fucking leave? I needed you! I fucking needed you and you weren't there. Tony, he told me to forget about you and I lied to him, hell I lied to myself when I said that I had, but Cassie I-" He looked into those huge, brown eyes and lifted his hand to her face, touching her cheek just to make sure it was real and that she was there. "I fucking love you forever. I could say that you hurt me or apologize for being a fucking tit, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because I fucking love you so much that I don't even care. Promise me something Cassie, promise me one thing."
"What Sid?"
"Never fucking leave me again. Or at least say good-bye first."
"I promise Sid. I promise" And then they kissed, on the top of that roof in the city that never sleeps thousands of miles from Bristol and it felt like home once more..
