One Thousand Miles...A TDI Story
Courtney: All Alone Staring blankly ahead And I need you If I could fall It's
always times like these 'Cause everything's so wrong 'Cause
I need you If I
could fall And I, I Making my way downtown Staring
blankly ahead And I still need you If I could fall If I could
fall
3:30 p.m
It
was a long day today...I woke up and got dressed, ate breakfast, blah
blah blah , all that morning stuff. But what was different about this
morning was, I decided to go to the park, I've only been there about
5 times in all the time I've lived in this crappy town. Which is my
whole life. The song 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton was stuck in my
head ( A/N: Yes, i know the song is old, but I like it.) Well
when I got to the park, there wasn't many people there. After I
walked around a bit, I got tired so I sat down on a bench where no
other people were around. Since no one was around me and that song
was still stuck in my head, I started to sing.
Making my
way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound
Just making my way
Making my
way
Through the crowd
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
Into the sky
Do
you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A
thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
When I think of you
And I wonder
If
you ever
Think of me
And
I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me
by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
Don't want to let
you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to
let this go
I, I
Don't...
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound
Just making my way
Making my way
Through
the crowd
And I still miss you
And
now I wonder...
Into the sky
Do you
think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A
thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
That's
just the song I need in my head. It reminds me so much of him.
Sigh I took the little skull that he gave me out of my pocket and
just stared at it. After awhile, tears started to fall onto it. I
just turned it over and over and I saw something tiny carved into it,
it was a phone number! Dang, I left my phone at home. I took off
running as fast as I could back to my house. I passed some people
moving in down the street from me but I didn't care about that now, I
had to get to my phone. I tried to avoid my sister and mom because
they were sitting in the living room watching TV but, because I was
running, my mom asked what I was doing."Not now mom, I have to
do something." I finally got up to my room and grabbed my phone
off my dresser. I decided to text instead of call. I didn't know what
to say so I just said,Duncan? After a few minutes, I got a text back
and yes it was from Duncan. He said, Yeah. Who wants to know? I
smiled to myself and replied, its uh, your Princess. I didn't know if
I should say Courtney or Princess so I decided the one that might
make him happy:
Princess
Duncan:
The Move If I could
fall And I, I Staring blankly ahead And I
still need you If
I could fall If I could fall
9:40 a.m
"Duncan!! Do you have everything
packed?" I heard my mother call from downstairs, I got expelled
again so my parents are forcing me to move to a new school, i really
wasn't paying attention but somewhere in there i think i heard
'Private School' There was NO way I was going to go to Private
School. Stuck-up snooty pole-up-their-ass kids went there, reminded
me of Princess. "Almost mom, just a few pictures." I picked
one up off the floor and it was princess snuggling up to me during
the camping challenge. It has been a year since I seen her so she
must've forgot about me, I carved my number into the back of the
skull I gave her so she must've got rid of it. "Well hurry your
delinquent ass up and let's go!" Dang she sounded angry. She
must be mad because of the move, we have had to move tons of times in
my life. She should be used to it now.I threw the last of the
pictures in a box and put it in a pile with two other boxes. I picked
all of them up and carried them downstairs, with the rest of the
boxes that were being moved into the moving van. "About time
Duncan, help your father put the rest of the boxes in the van so we
can go." She walked off toward the van. We finally got all the
boxes in the van and off we went. It took a good 5 hours to get
there. We pulled into a neighborhood full of fancy houses. They all
were the same color, different color stone, light brick and white
panel in places. We finally got to our house. Seeing all those houses
that look alike started to give me a headache. I got all my furniture
up to my huge room, even had a bathroom and everything, it was about
3:15 so I decided to go to the park. It was about 3:30 p.m when I got
there. Not many people were here, I just walked around more and I
could swear I heard singing. It sounded like,
'Cause I need
you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
Don't want to let
you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to
let this go
I, I
Don't...
I kept walking so I could
hear better,
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces
passed
And I'm home bound
Just
making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
And I still miss you
And now I wonder...
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us
by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
Into the sky
Do
you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A
thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just
hold you
Tonight
It was a girl with dark brunette hair
that reminds me of someone I know, Someone I care about alot. I
couldn't see her face because I was on the path behind her, about
three yards. She took something out of her pocket and stared at it
and turned it around and around when suddenly, she took off running.
I stood there for a while, staring blankly wondering about what just
happened and decided to walk home. About halfway there, my phone
beeped. It was a number I didn't know and it just said, Duncan? I
replied, Yeah, who wants to know? i continued walking and after a few
minutes, I got a text from the same number. I was so shocked at what
it said that I froze. Because there, on my screen, was a message that
I knew would change my life totally around, it said, It's uh, your
Princess. I whispered to myself "Courtney."
