Hey, guys! So, I've been REALLY obsessed with this song called In Sleep by Lissie, lately. I thought I'd make a little Fringe fanfic to it. Hope you like it! R&R please! :) xoxo
I lay awake at night and pray
Not to see the light of day
I wonder how to behave right
Olivia lay on the small cot in her cell. She couldn't tell if it was day or night, but all she knew these days was whether she was hungry or tired. And she was tired, so she closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.
He has left me such a mess
Counting to protest
My mind can't get no rest
For the past few nights, she had dreamt of Peter. Just seeing Peter, being able to hold him, even if it was only a dream…
Fast asleep, where I keep my memories
He's calling me out in dreams
He visits me
What will be, will I see him again soon?
"Olivia…" she heard his voice, calling her name. It was as if he was really there. Was he? She saw his face. It was Peter. She ran towards him. Where were they? She didn't care. She never wanted to wake up from this dream.
Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone, and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him
Peter was lying next to Olivia. At least, she was Olivia from what he knew. She stroked his face as he drifted off to sleep, dreaming again. He had been dreaming of Olivia. One different from the one lying next to him. Something about her was just…different. He dreamt of the Olivia that he had known before.
The scene is a city after dawn
That becomes a field of corn
And I've had this one before
They were lying there, looking up at the sky. He turned to her, and he could see her smile, the smile that he hadn't seen in a long time. Lately, she had just been looking so…smug.
Fast asleep, where I keep my memories
She's calling me out in dreams
She visits me
What will be, will I see her again soon?
"Peter…" she grinned at him. "Yeah, Liv?" he said. He had never felt more at peace, more happy…ever. He reached over to hold her hand, and then she slowly started to disappear. Yet, he still could hear her, calling his name. "Peter…? Peter, wake up…" "No…" he said. He didn't want to wake up from this dream. He wanted to stay with Olivia, this Olivia…
Why am I so terrified of waking?
She's gone, and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get too see her, get to love her
She was hugging Peter. Just having him close to her made her happier than ever. "Olivia…don't leave." he said. "Peter…I would never leave you. Why would I ever want to leave you…?" "You're going to leave." "No, I'm not!" Peter was acting strange. It was worrying her. "Yes, because this is a dream…you have to wake up…and leave me." "But, I don't want to leave…" She repeated it over and over again. "I don't want to leave, I don't want to leave!" But it happened anyway.
I know that when the story ends
The one that's in my head
Well, I'll be alone again
Peter opened his eyes. It was morning. He looked up and saw Olivia, already dressed for work…no smile on her face. "Peter, what's up with you?" "Nothing…just a dream…"
Olivia woke up, breathing heavily. She looked around. There was no Peter. There was no one at all. Just her, in her cell. She knew it would happen, but she couldn't help it. Peter…he was gone.
Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him, be with him
I love him, I love him, I love him
Why couldn't she stay in the dream? Why couldn't she stay with Peter forever? Why couldn't she be home? Crying wasn't the answer, but the tears came, anyway. The tears came like they did every time she woke up. In sleep was the only place she could see Peter.
Hope you enjoyed it! xoxo
