Antonio slept peacefully. A small sleepy smile was placed apon his lips and his breaths were calm and gentle. Oblivious to the fact that he was being watched by Nicole. His secret lover. Nicole and Antonio had grown very close since they first met. Too close for Nicole's liking. It wasn't that she didn't like him obviously she did. It was the fact that Decker had been wanting her to join his side and help him in his plot to force Jayden to duel him. Nicole gazed at Antonio, she knew becoming close and friends with any of the rangers was a mistake. Antonio was almost killed by Decker in a careless attempt to get her to join him. Nicole nearly did if it hadn't been for the arrival of the other rangers. She bit her lip to stifle a sob. Nicole knew she had to leave before Decker discovered how she felt about the gold ranger. It would only lead to more pain and suffering on Antonio's part.
Tip toeing over, she sat down on his bed and smirked at his smiling face. He seemed and looked so happy. He'd be even happier without her around. Leaning down she began to sing.
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
A single tear ran down her face and pattered onto Antonio's cheek
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Antonio shifted in his slumber. Turning up to face the ceiling. Carefully, Nicole leaned down even closer and placed a delicate kiss apon Antonio's upturned lips. Another tear pattered onto Antonio's cheek. Embarrassed and worried, Nicole hastily got up and checked out from behind the bedroom door. Seeing no one, Nicole glanced at Antonio once more before running down the hall, out the door and off into the night.
Antonio yawned. Sitting up and stretching, his dream slowly came back to him. Nicole was sitting on his bed, singing him a song about whispers and the dark or something. It was still a little hazy. Brushing his hand on his cheek, Antonio furrowed his eyebrows. His cheek was slightly wet...teardrops? But how he hadn't been crying last night, someone would have woken him up. Then the dream came back full force. The song wasn't some lullaby...maybe it was a goodbye song? What was it again?
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
He talked himself through the first part and then moved onto the second
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
"Oh no" Antonio muttered, jumping out of bed and pulling on clothes. His worst fear was confirmed. It was goodbye. That's what Nicole meant by the song.
'It might be goodbye for her but not for me! Ill find you Nicole and I'll make sure you never leave me again...because I love you' Antonio thought determinedly.
