Disclaimer: I do not own TDI/A, or 'Farther Away' by Evanescence (yes, another Evanescence songfic).
I do NOT support Gwen and Duncan. Thought it was cute before, over it now. I just used them because the situation with Trent fit pretty well with this song (Kinda wierd how my songfics involve a failing Gwen and Trent relationship; that's just usually how they turn out, I love them big time.)
The song is on Anywhere But Home, but you can find a studio version on Youtube.
CAUTION: CONTAINS A TDA SPOILER AT END
Gwen stared limply down at the wooden panels of the trailer floor.
She couldn't escape the sinking feeling in her gut, bringing her down, down, down...
I
Took
Their
Smiles
And I made them mine
How could she take advantage of Trent like that?
I
Sold
My
Soul
Just to hide the lies
She glanced up.
And
Now
I
See what I really am
She found a mascara-streaked face glaring back at her from the vanity mirror.
A theif,
A whore,
And a liar!
She remembered running after her lost musician, knowing he had been endlessly tormented by her name and the number nine.
I run to you
(Run away from this hell)
Call out your name
(Giving up, giving in)
I see you there
Farther away
She never realized that she had been shunning him for Duncan so much, like when they headed back to Wawanakwa because they missed the cabins.
Why hadn't she felt that special connection with Trent?
I'm
Numb
To
You
Numb and deaf and blind
She had been perfectly happy, hadn't she?
You
Gave
Me
All
But the reason why
Now he was definitely out of her life; how she would sleep, she didn't know.
I
Reach,
But I feel
Only air at night
The silence would be deafening.
Not you,
Not love,
Just nothing!
She could only imagine how Courtney would feel.
Gwen could remember how she tugged on his jacket, how she had begged for him back over the roaring thunder.
I run to you
(Run away from this hell)
Call out your name
(Giving up, giving in)
I see you there
Farther away...
All she could do now was try desperately to erase him from her mind.
If only he and the other campers hadn't found that tape of her and Duncan in the confessional trailer...
Try to forget you
But without you
I feel nothing
She could only hope that this wouldn't haunt her forever, especially in the eyes of the other campers.
Don't leave me here
By myself
I can't breathe...
Trent had turned around and lashed out viciously, telling her that he had no need for a slut like her, leaving her frozen, planted to the wet ground.
I run to you
(Run away from this hell)
Call out your name
(Giving up, giving in)
I see you there
Farther away...
She watched him climb into the crappy limousine, taking him away God knew where.
All she could do was watch.
Farther away....
She felt a spike-studded hand rest itself on her shoulder.
Farther away, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....
Farther away....
A/N: Freakin' love this song.
I needed to update the supposed 'spoilers,' but everything has been aired at this point in both Canada and the U.S. The only thing not released at the time of writing is the tape found of Gwen and Duncan almost kissing.
So there you go. Stop yelling at me now. :c
... :D
