*I never thought I'd change my
opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've
never known
You moved me in a way that I've
never known.

But straight away you just moved
into position again
You abused me in a way that I've
never known
You abused me in a way that I've
never known.

So break me shake me hate me
take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone.
Just break me shake me hate me
take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone.*

Kel grinned foolishly. She was getting married, *finnally.* It had taken him forever to propose. She couldn't believe it. In less than an hour she would be Sir Keladry of Stone Mountain.

She and Joren had been "together" for about a year now. Every time she saw him, she felt her heart beat faster. She hated being away from him. And she knew he felt the same.


*So you're the kind who deals with the
games in the mind.
Well you confuse me in a way that I've
never known
You confuse me in a way that I've
never known.

So break me shake me hate me
take me over.
When the madness stops then you
will be alone.
Just break me shake me hate me
take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone.*


Kel thought back to when he proposed. They had been in the garden in the palace, watching one of the many fountains in silence. Suddenly he had turned to her and said, "Kel, I wanted to wait to ask you this, but I can't. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me."

And, of course, she had said yes.

Cleon and Neal had been worried about her. They still viewed Joren as an enemy who just wanted to hurt her, no matter how many times she tried to prove them wrong. He asked her to marry him. Didn't that just prove that he loved her?

Well, it didn't matter what they thought. *She* was happy, and that was all that mattered.

*She says, "I can help you,
but what do you say?"
But it's not free baby, you'll have
to pay
You just keep me contemplating, that
your soul is slowly fading

God don't you know I live with a ton
of regret?
Cause I used to move you in a way
that you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that
you've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've
never known.*


When Kel's father walked her to the alter, she looked around. Everything was perfect, in its perfect place. Except for one thing.

The groom.

She waited for him. She waited for six years.

He never showed up.

*Break me shake me hate me
take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone.
So won't you break me shake me
hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone.

Listen, baby
You'll be, you'll be alone

Break me shake me hate me take
me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate
me take me
Break me.*

But she lived.




A/N: Ok, I know it's late, that Joren's dead and all, that could make a few problems, but I've been wanting to write something like this for a while, but I never got the inspiration. So I was listening to the song and I thought, "PERFECT!" and when I was wondering whether or not to post this, I figured, "Why the hell not?" So here it is. Hey, it's fanfiction! We can do stuff like this! Heehee! oh, and HAPPY INDEPENDENDE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
