Hi everyone. So this is like my first fanfic, so... yeah. Hope you enjoy it. Leave me a review if possible so I could improve next time round. Cheers!
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones; Hart Hanson does. Though I wish I did. Neither do I own the song used in this fanfic, obviously. ;)
The first snowstorm of the winter came belatedly today. It's now pouring down outside my window. The sky is dark, like a sheet of grey paper, and the night has gotten so very cold. I'm laying here on my bed, wishing you were here beside me. Shivering, I pull the quilt over my cold body to keep warm, after all, you aren't here to hold me tight and keep me warm now, are you?
I close my eyes in an attempt to fall back into a deep sleep. I fail to do this, much to my disappointment. Those memories of you can't seem to get out of my head. Granted, it's already been 10 years since you've gone. But I still can't seem to accept the fact that you are no longer alive.
I'd always thought of you as my hero. As Angela always says, you were, and still are, my knight in shining FBI-standard-body-armour. You were always the one who would hold me tight and comfort me whenever I was upset over something. Granted, you were also the one who could make me laugh so easily. I wonder why no one else could ever do that.
I turn to the empty side of my bed. The part that you used to occupy for more than thirty years. But then, you're no longer here, are you?
I laughed out loud at the irony of the idea, the idea of me getting married. And to you, no less. Sure, I was against marriage before, but hey, I never knew that till I met you.
Ten years have passed, but I still feel like as if it was yesterday. Sighing, I turned on my side to switch on the radio beside my bed. I spin the tune button till I suddenly stop at a particular radio station.
That song. We first slow-danced to this song.
That song that reminds me most of you.
Hero.
I close my eyes and hum softly to the tune. My mind goes back to that time you and I first danced to this song. It was at Hodgins' and Angela's wedding reception, the reception that was held after the failed wedding due to Angela still being married to that other husband of hers. Angela had just convinced you to invite me to dance. I smile as I remember saying yes to you.
As that image plays in my head, I can feel the music start up. I suddenly have a vision of you holding me in your arms right now, dancing with me as I hum softly in your ears.
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long, road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
As the music ends, I feel myself being transported back here, back to my lonely bedroom. I look around at the pictures hanging on the wall, wistfully wishing that I could go back in time to see you again. But I can't. Maybe I'll see you again. Soon. Someday.
For now though, you shall always, and forever be, my hero.
Reviews anyone? Pretty please? With a cherry on top? Lol. Thanks for reading, you've made my day :)
