My Immortal

Rating : PG

Summary: Isabel's thoughts when Max attempts to revive Alex. The song used is My Immortal by Evanescence.

there's just too much that time cannot erase when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears and i've held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me

Max can save him, that's what Max does he brings people back.

"He'll need to use his power, to open the doors." My voice, doesn't sound normal but everything will be better when he comes out.

"...He'll take a deep breath, put his hand on his chest, and bring him back to life." I say slightly softer keeping my eyes glued on the van hoping no one notices they're watering.

"...the whole...the whole van will shake, and they'll come running back here with big goofy grins on their faces, and we'll have to come up with some kind of cover story for Hanson and everybody...." I sound unsure, and I know it.

I stare at the vehicle waiting for it to shake and them to come out with the big goofy grins on their faces that I say they'll have.

Why aren't they coming out? My hands starts to shake and I try to calm it, but it won't stop.

My throat's so dry, if I try to speak I know my voice will crack so I think I'll rest it for when Alex comes out, I tell myself.

Since when did it get so cold out? I ask myself.

My other hand starts to shake.

Why is Max taking so long, I think putting my hands in my sleeves self- consciously.

What's taking so long, maybe...maybe Alex and Max are trying to mess with our heads, that they're just kidding around. I try to tell myself but I can't even believe my thoughts.

The van shakes slightly, not as much as it should. Maybe when Alex got up he bumped something?

I see Max coming out and my voice catches in my throat but I get the strength to speak, "Max?"

I look at his eyes but he looks away, I want to yell at him try again.

I want to scream try again until it works, but I can't, I can't talk anymore.

Still staring at him my whole body starts to shake and I run, run away from here.

Besides this is all some nightmare I'm having and Alex will laugh at me tomorrow and tell me that I could never be possibly lucky enough to get rid of him, and we'll joke some more, and I'll kiss him and tell him I love him, and that everything's ok.

I run all these thoughts racing in my head a mile a minute until I reach our house, avoiding my parents, I run upstairs straight to my room.

I can't breath.

Falling onto my bed I close my eyes, the tears streaming down my face.

Quickly I wipe them away, "Alex..." I whisper into the air crawling into the bed sobbing into my pillow, I dream of him and only him.
