I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
He gripped Zelos' body tightly, tears streaming down his cheecks, "You big jerk! How dare you go and...and die on us!" He shouted, glaring as the droplets of water from his eyes dripped onto his friends cold corpse.
"He can't hear you, Lloyd. He's gone." Raine placed a hand on the teens shoulder, frowning.
And I'm hearin what you say,
But I just can't make a sound..
"I know..." He mumbled, "Isn't there something you can do, Professor?" He looked up at his teacher hopefully. She shook her head and grimaced, turning away from Lloyd shamefully. Lloyd turned his head back to the body in his arms, "You...you bastard!" Tears clouded his vision once more.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down, but wait.
"I'm sorry, Lloyd..."
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say
"You...you idiot! You think a simple apology will fix this?" He shouted to particularly no one, his friends gathered behind him, giving him worried stares.
"Lloyd, we have to go." Sheena murmured.
"Come on, Lloyd, we have to save Colette." Genis said, kneeling down by his friend and forcing a smile upon his face, "You can't mope around, that won't get you anywhere. Come on." He urged his friend to let go of the redhead and stand.
It's too late to apologize,
It's too late.
"I...sorry..." Lloyd mumbled, staring down at Zelos one last time, "...it's too late..." He grimaced, and stood, letting go of the cold hand he didn't even know he'd been holding. Turning away, he tried to look brave, "Let's go, guys. Let's save Colette." Stepping forward and onto the warp pad, he gave Zelos' body one last look before he disappeared.
I'd take another chance,
Take a fall,
Take a shot for you.
He grasped his sword tighter, he didn't want to do this! No, he couldn't do this! "Zelos!" He shouted to the Chosen, "We don't have to do this, you were my friend! I trusted you! Please!" He was yelling now, completely hysterical.
"No, Lloyd. You've already done it. You've killed me."
"NO! I DIDN'T MEAN TO!" Lloyd screamed, tears streaming freely down his cheecks.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
It's nothing new.
"There's no going back, Lloyd." The 'Zelos' before Lloyd stared at him with a blank expression. Suddenly, a blade was stabbed through his chest, a fountain of blood spraying from his wound. He smiled slightly.
I loved you with a fire, red,
But now it's turning blue.
"I didn't mean to, Zelos! I'm sorry!" The very distraught Lloyd yelled at the falling body of the Chosen. He reached for him, but his hands passed right through the magic swordsman's body, "No..." Lloyd mumbled.
And you say sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you,
But I'm afraid.
"It's too late, Lloyd. You couldn't save me..." The now dead Zelos mumbled, his glazed over eyes staring straight at Lloyd, blood seeping from his mouth, "...it's too late..."
It's too late to apologize,
It's too late.
"NOO!" Lloyd screamed and shot up in bead, sweat drenching his body. It wasn't his fault! He didn't mean to! He didn't even want to! It was Zelos' fault! It had to be...Lloyd shivered and tried to rid his mind of the feeling of Zelos' cold hand in his warm one.
No, it was his fault. Everything was.
It's too late to apologize,
It's too late.
SilverMoon: I hope that wasn't too bad. Song was Apologize by One Republic (though I prefer the Silverstein version). Review, please?
