Me: I've been listening so much to the radio lately, (since the songs my brother downloaded aren't very good) and since this song comes on every 5 minutes, I have decided to write my first short song-fic so please take it easy on me and don't flame me!
Thank you all readers and reviewers! May the Heavens shine upon your path!!!
A Thousand Miles
Leena Toros stepped out of the yellow taxi. Rain fell slowly from the sky, the air cool and crisp. Rain drops splashed against her forehead as she gazed upon clouds blocking the hazy sun. Water splashed as cars drove over puddles on the road. The cab drove off, leaving her on the sidewalk. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the faint rays of warmth brush over her. Crowds of people wearing coats and holding umbrellas passed by the lone girl.
Making my way down town
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Leena continued to walk aimlessly down the streets of Atlantis City. Her head bowed down. The faded yellow tank top and skirt soaking up the falling water. Hair clung to her forehead as the rain began to pour harder. The white tennis shoes stepping into muddy puddles.
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
The Zoids were being repaired and Leena decided to free her mind and shop. But nothing she saw caught her attention. Leena remained in deep thought. The cool air was making her shiver. She shook her head, wishing she had brought along an over coat. It was already noon. Everyone was busy.
Except Leena who wandered like a lost puppy throughout the city of gloom.
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
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
Bit had left the Blitz Team eight months after the Royal Cup. He wanted to travel the world again with Liger to bring out the fullest potential as a warrior. It had been two years since she last saw him.
And she hadn't heard a single word from him since.
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever think of me
Leena barely lifted her feet with each step. Her arms hanging limply to the side. Wet hair shielding her face from view. Pale, almost lifeless eyes unmoving. Leena had changed over the past two years. No longer was she the happy-go-lucky, hot headed girl everybody knew so well. She was distant, drifting off from everyone. Each day she became weaker. Her mind, body and soul would wither away until nothing would be left. No medicine in the world could cure her. Not a single person could save her.
Except for one person.
Who wasn't even there.
Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in
Your precious memory
Regret lingered in her mind like a plague. Why couldn't she have told the truth? Why didn't she say the very words that were begging to be spoken? Why did she have to lie and bury her feelings? It could've worked out. Bit might've stayed if she said something. Leena wouldn't be like this.
But she didn't.
And it killed her inside knowing that.
Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by,oh
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight
Leena dreamt of him nearly every night since he left. Memories of battles and fights spun around in her mind like a never-ending storm. She would awaken and wished Bit would be sleeping beside her. That she would catch him raiding the fridge for snacks or stealing her donuts. Even an argument would suffice.
But she was always alone in her room.
The kitchen was empty.
The silence was unbearable.
And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I,I don't wanna let this go
I, I've fallen...
Leena crossed another street unknowingly. It was much colder now. Evening was drawing to an end. The sun was disappearing from sight. Rain continued to pour like endless tears. As she was nearing the next sidewalk, she stepped into a pothole, catching hold of her muddy shoes. She fell with a short cry, her body collapsing onto the wet road. Skin scraped against the rough ground. Her elbows and knees swelling.
Making my way down town
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Leena groaned, muttering to herself about clumsy people when a hand appeared before her eyes. She accepted it without a word. The stranger pulled the pale girl to her feet. Rain dripped down her soaked hair.
Staring blankly ahead
Making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
She was lost in a world of sorrow and despair she had created. Falling deeper and deeper into it like a bottomless pit. The only thing that kept her from being consumed was one final hope that refused to leave when all else had failed. And even then, she doubted herself.
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall 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...
Leena mumbled a thank you and continued her meaningless journey when a familiar sound rang through her ears.
"Leena?"
Her eyes widened at the question and turned towards the voice. She met a tan flawless face with wild spiky hair. Shining emerald eyes pierced right through her.
"Bit." She quietly said to herself. Without warning, Leena flung her arms around his neck, pulling her closer to him. She shuddered at the feeling but held on as if her life depended on it. And it did in a way.
"Leena? What's wrong?"
"I…I-I've missed you….so much…." She whispered into his ear. "I'm….sorry…for lying to you….I should've told you…"
"Tell me what?" he asked. He spoke softly. His warm breath brushing past her cool skin.
"I wanted to tell you to stay." Leena replied. A few strangers gave a short glance at the couple but Leena didn't care. Nothing mattered now but Bit.
"And……I wanted to say…." This was it. The greatest moment of her life and yet, the most powerful obstacle she would ever meet.
"I love you." Leena tightened her arms around Bit. She closed her eyes, fearing rejection when arms closed around her waist.
Bit pulled back, his face nearly touching hers. He gave a heart-warming smile that made her long for him even more. Bit gently closed his eyes and pressed his lips against her Leena's. Her mouth responded instantly. Warmth engulfed her. All the pain she had built up melted away in a single moment. Everything seemed to spin around them, as they were lost in each other's embrace. After what seemed like ages, Bit pulled back and grinned lovingly.
"I love you too Leena…"
She was drowning in darkness.
To be bathed in blinding light.
"Stay with me…please…" Leena muttered as she rest her head on Bit's chest. He just tightened his arms and held her closer. And she already knew the answer.
If I could fall 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
