This is a TSCC Fanfiction, focused mainly on John. The song used is "Better Days" by The Goo Goo dolls, which is where I got the title of this story.
I just want to say that I do not own any of the characters mentioned in this story nor the story or lyrics.
NO FATE BUT WHAT WE MAKE!
Okay, enjoy… :D
" And you ask me what I want this year, and I tried to make this kind and clear, just a chance that maybe we'll find better days."
John sat on the windowsill of the living room, listening to his iPod. His feet tapped to the beat. "The Goo Goo Dolls" were one of his favourite bands. Their songs brought back some memories of his childhood, memories with Derek, with Cameron.
He remembered dancing to one of their albums with his mom. She was so happy.
" Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days. Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings. And designer love and empty things. Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days."
He remembered listening to this with Derek on his birthday, he remembered turning his head towards the door to find Cameron. She was smiling and singing.
Those were good days. Better days then the days that passed now.
" Cause tonight's the night the world begins again."
He remembered running around with Cameron, watching and hearing her laugh.
She was different and he liked that.
He remembered talking with his mom, just having normal conversations that didn't involve Robots or Skynet.
He remembered driving in the car with Derek, telling jokes and fun stories.
Those were good days. Better days then the days that passed now.
" I need someplace simple were we could live. And something only you can give. And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive."
Before all the bad things happened there were only good things. Before Cameron's job of protecting him was being put to the limit things were good. Before his mom was told she died of cancer a few years ago, after they escaped from the bank, she was fine and things were okay. Before Derek got shot in the head things were fine.
Things were better.
" And the one poor child who saved this world"
Before he had to run everyday to survive, before he had to rely on a killing machine to save him. Things were fine. Things were better. Better then the things happening now.
He wanted to be left alone, but he knew it wasn't possible. But maybe he could find a way to make these days better.
" Cause tonight's the night the world begins again."
