*Stronger* Charity's Story
Whoa. This is totally out-of-character. For both ME and CHARITY!! LoL!! First of all, I am neither a Charity nor Britney Spears fan, but I heard this song on the radio and got a major inspiration! So in attempt to be open-minded or whatever, I wrote this short little fic. Just a little translation of what I think goes on in Charity's mind. Hope you like it!
Hush, just stop.
"Stop, Miguel.", I whispered. " I can't take this much longer."
" Then forgive me, Charity! I'm so sorry..." Miguel pleaded.
There's nothing you can do or say.
I've had enough.
" How can you explain calling me Kay? When you were kissing me? You told me that you wanted to make love to Kay!" I screamed. Pent-up anger was building inside me like crazy and I felt like a can of soda overflowing.
I'm not your property as from today.
* Flashback *
The other night...
" I love you, Miguel." I whispered, kissing Miguel softly on the lips.
" I love you too. More than life itself." Miguel responded.
" Mmmm..." I moaned, losing myself in the wonderful tingling sensations shooting up and down my spine.
He trailed kisses down my neck and I could almost hear the question through the heavy sexual tension in the air.
" I want to make love to you, Kay." Miguel whispered.
I jerked back from his kiss.
" Get out." I demanded, tears already springing to my eyes.
* End Flashback *
You might think that I won't make it on my own.
But now I'm...
" Charity, this is ridiculous. How can you base our entire relationship on one little mistake. What will we do without eachother? Can you honestly say that you'll be okay on your own?" Miguel demanded.
Stronger than yesterday.
Now it's nothing but my way.
My loneliness ain't killing me no more.
I'm stronger.
" I don't need you, Miguel. All I need is me." I whispered, feeling a hard pang in my heart.
That I ever thought that I could be.
I used to go with the flow.
Didn't really care 'bout me.
You might think that I can't take it, but you're wrong.
'Cuz now I'm...
" I'm stronger than you think, Miguel. Than you'll ever know. I never said anything about you and Kay before. I didn't care about me. Myself. And my feelings." I said firmly.
Stronger than yesterday.
Now it's nothing but my way.
My loneliness ain't killing me no more.
I'm stronger.
" It's nothing but my way now, Miguel. I'm sick of being the perfect little girl that tiptoes around for everyone else. It's time to think about myself, now." I whispered. It sounded so right. So right...
Here I go, on my own.
I don't need nobody, better off on my own.
Here I go, on my own now.
I don't need nobody, not anybody.
Here I go, alright, here I go.
" Goodbye, Miguel. Goodbye." I whispered softly. I can't even find the energy to speak up. Energy, courage, whichever comes to mind first.
I softly kissed the tips of my finger, and touched my finger to his cheek.
I grabbed my suitcase and walked out of the Bennett House forever.
Stronger than yesterday.
Now it's nothing but my way.
My loneliness ain't killing me no more.
I'm stronger.
I didn't know where I was going. It had been a really hard decision to leave Harmony. It really didn't have anything to do with Miguel, either. It had to do with me. I need to be my own person, not the Charity Standish that gets walked all over by everyone.
Stronger than yesterday.
Now it's nothing but my way.
My loneliness ain't killing me no more.
I'm stronger.
I am stronger. And I'll prove it to anyone who challenges me. Anyone.
