Umm.. This is a songfic about Tristan's sister Emma. I got to the character from the story I'm With You. I *am* using her with the Author's permission, and all credit for the character goes to fRiEnDsFaNaTiC. I own nothing, except for the story line. The song is "Seven Years" by Norah Jones, off of her cd Come Away With Me. You can check out this song and others by her at http://www.norahjones.com/.
Sometimes, I feel so sorry for my baby sister. Emma does deserve more of a family then just me. I can't always give her everything that she needs. She doesn't even realize that she's coming from a broken home- one she'll end up hating as she grows up. As she becomes so damn jaded.
Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone
She's got dirty blonde hair, the way mine use to be before I frosted the tips. Her face is so familiar, so like mine. She's got my peircing blue eyes, and my smile that becomes so adorable when she laughs. I've never seen her sad. Nervous, yes. scared, yes. But sad... She's got so much energy. She's too happy to ever think of being sad. She doesn't know about the world around her. She doesn't know the truth about very much. She's so protected. I envy her ignorance.
Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes along
My sister is so innocent. She instantly takes to anyone. Instantly attaches herself to any person who walks into her life. She never has anything to hold back- she can tell everyone everything about her life without hesitating. Everyone she meets is a happy person whom she thinks is completely trustworthy. Of course, she can't pronounce that word, so she doesn't think she thinks that about people, but she does.
Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin to the ground
Without a sound
I've built a wall around me heart, growing up in this house. No one ever has been able to break through it. No one ever comes close to it. But Emma.. She's so young, so innocent. She can't possibly have had any time to even think of preparing herself for the life she's been born into. She doesn't even know about the life she's been born into. I can't think enough about how she's going to be hurt when she discovers the awful truth of the world. She's going to be so vulnerable. Unlike me, who only has room in his heart for Emma. And now Rory.
Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
Thats all her own
Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin to the ground
Without a sound
Emma has so much to offer to the world. If I hadn't of been spoiled by the family I have, by the house I live in, I could be giving more to everyone. If it hadn't had been for this amazing kid that was forced into this house because she rightfully belonged here, I never would have been able to open my heart to anyone. Now I have two people who I care for more then anything in the world. I really hope that they stay so innocent all their lives.

There's a little girl with nothing wrong
and she's all alone.
A little girl with nothing wrong
and she's all alone...
I love you, Emma. More then you could ever know.
