Wait For You.
Skulduggery POV
It has been 10 minutes since the argument between me and Valkyrie and already Ghastly is taking me out to cheer me up. Typical Bespoke. I suppose it was my fault, I said some pretty harsh stuff.
We are now in my Bentley on our way to a karaoke club. How boring. I only agreed to this is because, well, he said it would be fun and I suppose he is my best friend.
When we arrived at a club called 'Dark Palm' we went and sat at a table in the corner of the room. Even now I have my human body back I'm still self-conscious around others. I had my head down when Ghastly spoke.
"Cheer up, Skul. She'll forgive you."
I sighed, "No, No she won't. You should have heard the things I said." I replied softly. I kept my head down as the next person came on stage and started to sing. Her angelic voice filled the stage. I recognised that voice, I have heard it countless times. Valkyrie. I listened to the lyrics carefully.
I never felt nothing in the world like this before Boy, you could have stayed but you wouldn't give me a chance So why does your pride make you run and hide? So, baby, I will wait for you Been a long time since you called me What will it take to make you come back? Baby, why can't we just, just start over again So why does your pride make you run and hide? Baby, I will wait for you Baby, I will wait for you I'll be waiting.
Now I'm missing you, and I'm wishing you would come back through my door
Oh, why did you have to go?
You could have let me know
So now I'm all alone
With you not around, it's a little bit more than I can stand
Oh, and all my tears, they
Keep runnin' down my face
Why did you turn away?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
everything stays the same?
I just can't do it, baby
Boy, I told you what it is, and it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me?
You're still in love with me
Don't leave me crying
Get it back to the way it was?
If you give me a chance, I can love you right
But you're telling me it won't be enough
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you're keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be
Oh
Baby, I will wait for you
If it's the last thing I do
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
I looked up to see her tear stained face. I ran round the edge of the room 'til I got to the stage and i climbed the steps. When I reached her I kissed her deeply. I could hear catcalls and cheers from every corner of the karaoke club.
