Let's get drunk on our tears

A faint sound of familiar song could be heard from the distance, somewhere in this crowded city. Maybe it was from some restaurant around here, or it was from some random cars, or from one of the houses around here. Or maybe she was just hearing things
It didn't matter, though. What did matter was that the song seems to wake her long-forgotten memories up. The one she'd been trying desperately to push it away in the very back of her mind. The girl sighed and pulled her dark red hoodies tighter as the cold gust of wind blew pass. She got up into a standing position; on the edge of the rooftop of the building, mismatched eyes stared up at the sky above wearily.
Judging from the blackened sky, the night would soon fall, and that's mean her time in this city was running out. Soon enough they will notice she was here.
"So...what's next?" She murmured quietly to herself, but still made no move. Desperation had clung onto her like a burden she would love to get rid of, it numbed her, whispering into her ears with that small poisonous voice that she couldn't make it no matter how hard she tried. Usually, she'd just wave it off or ignored it completely, but now she didn't even bother to do any of that.
Because now, she finally understand that it was true.
She couldn't make it. All that awaited for her was just failures and more pain.
She couldn't do anything. She was useless.
Her eyes sparked with sorrow for a moment at that thought, only to be changed into something fierce, something ablaze like a fire in the darkness, something close to anger.
No, she wouldn't give up. She couldn't give up, not when she still have someone to protect, not when she still have so many things to do. With that furious thought, she turned around, ignoring those cruel voice once again, and walked away quietly, slowly disappear into the shadow along with the last sun rays.
But before everything went dark, she turned her head slightly, looking back at the sky as if trying to memorize the view in front of her, the picture of the last light of the day. Silently eyed it until the sky turned completely dark, only sparkling lights of the town below left.
For some reason, it made the corner of her lips quirked up a little.
And, with that small smile on her lips, she turned around and walked on. Completely disappear into the night.
"I'll see you soon, I promise."
A quiet voice whispered, before it'd been blown away by autumn wind and disappeared into the night sky, leaving no other trace of the girl in red behind.
Yeah, so I've decided to rewrite this and change a plot for a little bit since doesn't seem to let go of me soon. Sooo, for my old readers, let me tell you what will change from the original story. It might be long and bored to read so you can skipped it if you want.
First thing that I've decided to chage is the setting. In Lost Stars the story begin in Manhattan, during the period between Prototype 1 and 2. But in Of Viruses and Little Witch, the setting was not in Manhattan and it taken place in 'Prototype 2: The Anchor', which is a comic about Alex going on a soul-searching trip around the world, according to Wikia. It took place after Alex'd killed Atumn and is about to return to Manhattan
Another thing I've changed is Maddie's character, I figured that if I use her original personalities ( you know, a little bit cold, quiet and all) it would be so freaking hard for me to write the comedy scene, so in this story she would lighten up a bit. Oh, and her power would change to. The inspiration still came from the song "Lost Stars", though.
Hmm, that's pretty much it. Hope you guys enjoyed!
