I Miss You Chapter 1: I Miss You, a beetlejuice fanfic

I Miss You

Beetlejuice sighed. He wanted to see Lydia, but he still remembered last time he appeared out of nowhere...

I miss you
I miss you

[Flashback]
Lydia lay on her bed staring at the ceiling, thinking in silence. Until . . . "Hey babes!" Beetlejuice exclaimed, causing Lydia to jump.

Hello there
The angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim
Of darkness in the valley

"Beetlejuice!" Gasped Lydia. "You scared me!" "Well." Chuckled Beetlejuice. "That is what I do best. . . Well, other than pranking, that is. I mean, come on, we go through this every day."

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me

"Soo. . ." Beetlejuice continued after a long silence. "You coming?" "I can't, Beej. It's Christmas. Sorry." Apologised Lydia. "Well, in the Neitherworld, we don't do Christmas. We have Halloween." Beetlejuice explained. "It's all very complicated." He added, noting Lydia's look of confusion.

And we'll have Halloween on Christmas

"Come on Lyds. Puh-lease?" Beetlejuice begged from his space in the mirror. "Okay." Agreed Lydia. "But we gotta be back before 7 tonight, or Dad'll go ape."

"I have to go now, Beej." Lydia begged. "Aww, c'mon babes, just one more movie?" Asked Beetlejuice.

And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

"You asked already . . . three times." Replied Lydia. "Take me home now!"

"No!" Beetlejuice exclaimed, crossing his arms and sitting down, pouting like a two year old that didn't get his own way. "You're so selfish!" Snapped Lydia, tears glistening in her eyes. "I hate you! Don't bother ever visiting me again! Home, home, HOME!!!"
[End Flashback]

I miss you
I miss you

"Why?" Whispered Beetlejuice.

I miss you
I miss you

"Why can't I see her side of the mirror?" He asked himself, after spending 20 minutes staring into his mirror. He knew why, though. He was secretly fearful of what he would find, and fear was his one weakness – his kryptonite.

Where are you?
And I'm so sorry

He tried to close his eyes, and sleep, but he only saw Lydia's face, heard her voice, felt the anger.

I cannot sleep
I cannot dream tonight

Tears ran down his pale cheeks. "Why do I always do that?" He sobbed.

I need somebody and always
This sick, strange darkness
Comes creeping on
So haunting every time

Beetlejuice wiped his eyes, and stared at his ceiling, saying "She cares, she doesn't." as he counted every spiderweb, hoping the last one he saw would be a 'she cares'.

And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you

He knew what she'd say if he tried to talk to her, but he also knew he'd send himself to Sandworm Land if he didn't, just to stop thinking of her.

And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight

He could almost hear her now. . .

"Don't waste your time on me
you're already the voice inside my head"
I miss you
I miss you

"STOP!" He cried, but it wouldn't; it just kept getting louder.

"Don't waste your time on me
you're already the voice inside my head"
I miss you
I miss you

"Stop . . . please." He sobbed, falling to his knees, clutching his ears.

Don't waste your time on me
you're already the voice inside my head
I miss you
I miss you

"I'm sorry, Lydia." Whispered Beetlejuice. "I never said it, but I'm really, really sorry. . ."

I miss you
I miss you

"Please forgive me."

I miss you
I miss you

"I already do." Came a voice from behind.
