I was listening to this on Youtube, and I make it a priority of mine to match songs with happenings or characters from TDI and TDA. Well, this was just too good an oppurtunity to pass up.
It's not supposed to be detailed on the surroundings, because when someone breaks your heart you don't really care about whats going on outside of you. Just thought I'd say that. This is from Gwen's point of view, and takes place on that episode where they have to get the keys for the pirate treasure. Absolutley no idea what the episode is called...

I never thought that could happen…I never thought that he would do that to me, and never in my life or death did I think that he would do that with her…I just never thought past a Happy Ever After…Stupid, stupid me.
I was just walking towards the dock, eager for the 'special surprise' he promised me. He loved me, didn't he? Why wouldn't he want to surprise me? Surprises are good…most are…
As I neared the dock, I heard a bird call out. In my innocent, naïve mind, I thought it was a good sign. That the bird of love was chirping for us. But I never gave it a thought that another bird didn't answer it. Stupid, stupid me.
I was just a couple rocks away from his special surprise, when I saw it. Him. And her. Together. I couldn't breathe. His special surprise was like a knife, stabbing me then twisting slowly. Tears came quickly, but strangely, I didn't feel them. I was empty. A cold, pale shell. Your card that had meant so much to me with the promise it kept…just fell to the ground, like our relationship. It fell…just fell.
And when it hit the ground, I ran.
I ran, not caring if I fell and twisted an ankle, or if I even fell off the cliff. How could he forget all we had? How could he? 'McHotty' was nothing more then a dream turned nightmare, clawing at my mind, eating at my heart. I never thought he could forget us…but he did.
He loved me, didn't he? No…
I ran to my cabin subconsciously, but ended up going inside the boy's side of the cabin. I blinked, realizing where I was. Then I saw his guitar…the guitar he'd used to tell me he loved me. A rage came over me then, and I grabbed the fake loving instrument and ran out the door, the tears still falling down my face.
I didn't know why I headed to the dock. Maybe I just wanted to smash the guitar over both of their heads. Maybe I just wanted to drown, but no, I wouldn't do that, would I? But to my disappointment and relief, they weren't there. Gone, just like our love. Gone…
What else was I going to do?
I sat down on the edge of the dock, where we had spent so many hours together talking and laughing (who's laughing now? Him? Her? Them? Not me), and put the guitar on my lap. Should I throw it into the water? I thought about it, but instead of throwing that, I held it right in my arms and strummed the strings. He had taught me how to play one of our nights together. I wasn't too good at it, but hey, talent didn't matter for our last lament. After this…?
I took a breathe, rubbed my eyes, then started plucking the strings. I sang.
Did you forget
That I was even alive?
Did you forget
Everything we ever had?
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me?
Did you regret
Ever standing by my side?
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside?
Now I'm left to forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
But you did…I thought bitterly, but I continued to play…
So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand?
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget
We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us
Though its hard, I silently thought, then I sniffed. So painful to remember…
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
I then started strumming harder and raised my voice to a yell.
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all
I grew quiet, unable to continue with that tone…I just sang like I did in the beginning.
And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
Please don't forget usI barely finished the last note before breaking off and sobbing uncontrollably. I screamed up at the sky, "WHY?! WHY?!" I could just see the sharks through my blurry eyes in the water flinch at how loud I was, but I didn't care.
Instead of doing what I thought about, throwing the guitar in the water, I just set it on the dock and walked to the very end. The very end where I had arrived on this dumb island in the first place. Beginning and end all in one…Its funny how it all just comes back, doesn't it? How one big race just comes back to the starting line, but they have the nerve to call it the finish. Is this the finish? Is that all there is for him and I?
I forgave him for leaving me buried alive only a day ago. Maybe he just likes me not trusting him. I don't know…I just don't know anymore.
As I got to the end, I collapsed on my knees and beat the dock, as if by doing that all this could just go away. A bad dream I could just wake up from.
And I just lied on the dock, crying. Stupid, Stupid me...
Somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us
