So I had the idea to do a fanfic based on one of my favourite songs, it's by a band called Mayday Parade and it's called Terrible things, this is the song and I'm going to do each verse as a new chapter I think… so let's see how this goes. I'll show the whole song here now and I'll put each verse at the start of each chapter…
By the time I was your age I'd give anything She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing? Now son, I'm only telling you this because I said, "Girl can I tell you a wonderful thing? Now son, I'm only telling you this because She said, "Boy can I tell you a terrible thing? Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose Now son, I'm only telling you this because
To fall in love truly was all I could think
That's when I met your Mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen
I can't help but notice you staring at me
I know I shouldn't say this but I really believe
That I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me"
life, can do terrible things
Now most of the time we had too much to drink
We'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice and too dumb to care
Love was a story that couldn't compare
I've made you a present with paper and string
Open with care, now I'm asking you please
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"
life, can do terrible things
You'll learn one day, I hope and I pray
that God, shows you differently
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks
Please don't be sad now, I really believe
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."
If given the choice then I'm begging you, choose
To walk away, walk away
Don't let her get you
I can't bare to see the same happen to you
Life, can do terrible things.
Chapter 1
By the time I was your age I'd give anything
To fall in love truly was all I could think
That's when I met your Mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen
She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice you staring at me
I know I shouldn't say this but I really believe
That I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me"
Sebastian Moran sat alone in a bar, he didn't touch a drop of alcohol he just liked the feeling of sitting in a bar. Ever since he had been kicked out of the army for… Well let's not dwell on that – he had been spending a lot of time just sitting in the bar, watching people go about their normal everyday lives, how happy they all seemed, he thought. It was the 7th time he'd sat in that particular bar and he was starting to get bored of it, the same people, doing the same thing, every single night. That is until a short man walked in. Sebastian hadn't ever seen him before, he would have remembered if he had, this man was highly over dressed in a suit Sebastian expected would have cost over £500, he was shorter than average y quite a bit but it didn't seem to bother him, Sebastian could practically feel the confidence ebbing off him. It therefore goes to say that when this small man came and sat next to Sebastian, on the bar stool everyone else had purposefully been avoiding for the past seven nights, he was surprised. The small man opened his mouth and said,
"Colonel Moran…" Sebastian wasn't sure what to be more surprised about, the fact that this man ,who stuck out like a sore thumb in this place, knew his name or the fact that his Irish accent was possibly one of the most beautiful things Sebastian had ever heard, he chose to go with the fact that he knew his name,
"How do you know who I am?" He asked looking up into the man's eyes, he took a sharp intake of breath, he'd never seen eyes like these before, they were so dark and totally soulless, as if this man was completely hollow, they say the eyes are the windows to the soul and if that's true this man's sole was non-existent. Sebastian liked that.
"My name is Jim Moriarty, I know everything, about everyone." Fair enough, Seastian thought,
"What do you want?"
"I've heard that you're the best shot in London?"
"Yes, sir." The sir Sebastian added on the end was more habit than anything but for Jim that was it, Sebastian's ticket to greatness, Jim liked a man who knew his place, and Sebastian most definitely did.
"Then, Sebastian, I believe I have a job that you might be very interested in." Sebastian sat up slightly straighter.
"I believe you might,sir. May I ask what this job entails?"
"You may, but not here. What I do is too important to be discussed here." Jim stood up and walked out of the bar, knowing Sebastian would follow him. He did. As soon as they were a safe distance away from the bar, Jim continued,
"Now, I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe, I can tell by your eyes that you are going to do whatever I ask you to, am I correct?"
"Yes,sir." Sebastian's army days were coming back to him, Jim was clearly in charge around here and Sebastian wasn't planning on messing with him.
"Good." Jim pulled out a small pile of papers and handed them to Seb along with a mobile phone. "Read these papers and contact me on this phone with your answer by tomorrow morning." And with that he walked off, leaving Seb to stand there staring after the Irish man with a look of disbelief on his face.
