The Rain
Sara
sat by the window, the corner of the room she shared with Michael.
Just staring out at the pitch black night sky, bright yellow full
moon shining down which is reflecting against the room.
She
turned and glanced at the body asleep in the bed just meters away
from where she was sitting.
Michael
has not slept in weeks and she suspects that it has taken a toll on
his exhausted body.
Once
you get over being overtired, your body adapts but it slowly closes
down. The minute he rested his head on the soft pillow, his eyes shut
tight and was out like a light.
It
has been a long few days along with everything that has been going
on, trying to locate the evidence her father left her, dealing with
the fact she had to put up with the man who tried to kill her, the
one thing that she couldn't stand was the fact ever since the train
Michael has not touched her once.
Tomorrow
they were going to talk to some people whom were working for
Michael's father on the inside and to try to get this tape
classified as evidence to which can be used in the court of the law.
There
was only so much you can do in one day, so they agreed to get some
rooms at a local motel and some get rest for the busy day they have
tomorrow.
Even
with a brain like Michael's it wasn't easy convincing him to shut
it off for one night and get some sleep, but Sara did convince him.
There were only two people who can calm him down, get him to see
sense and that was Lincoln which was well obvious as he knew his
brother like the back of his hand, and the other is Sara.
He
talks to her like he doesn't talk to anyone, his eyes lower and
become gentle, his voice softer. She owned a part of his heart, mind
and soul to which was untouchable.
"Sara"
She
heard a faint croaky voice coming from the bed; she turned around and
saw that Michael was awake.
"Go
back to sleep Michael" She told him, although it might have sounded
more like a demand than a statement.
She
then focused back on the window, something inside her made her stand
up and begins to walk towards the door.
"Where
are you going?" He asked her, looking from the window to where she
had been sitting to the door to where she was now standing, with her
hand on the doorknob.
"Outside.
Just leave it, Michael"
That
was all she left him with as she opened the door and walked out of
the motel room, leaving Michael staring after her in confusion.
Just
as fast as Sara practically scooted out the door, was Michael hot on
her heels after her, needing to make sure she was okay.
He
grabbed a shirt and some pants and ran after her, calling her name as
he closed the door to the motel room, looking around the dark night
for her.
"Sara…"
The trees nearby itched of something creepy, leaves fluttering
against the wind, the branches swaying back and forth.
To
which started off as a perfect clear night, is now a dark cloudy
night sky looking as if there is a storm brewing ahead.
And
he would be right, not a few minutes later a few drops produced more
and more till the rain started to come down heavy.
His
clothes started to stick to the length of his body as running became
a harder task than he imagined it would be trying to run after
someone in the pouring rain.
"Damnit
Sara" He yelled as he finally caught up to her and grabbed her by
the shoulders to stop her from running anymore.
She
turns to face his frustrated expression, planting her two hands on
her hips as she stared up at him.
"Michael…"
He
started to shake his head half in anger and half in confusion, he had
no idea why she was running away from him or had any idea why she
even left the first place.
"I
can't do this …"
Her
voice started to tremble as she took a step away from him, to put in
some distance otherwise her body was going to succumb to him and she
would be a wreck. She didn't need that, she needed to breathe and
remember why she had to get away from him in the first place.
"What
is it Sara? Please, let me in and tell me what is wrong." The need
and desperation in his voice killed her. He looked at her like a
puppy looks at its owner.
"I…"
She closed her eyes, and then Michael took his thumb and wiped away
the tears which were dripping from her wet face.
How
he could tell what tears were and what were just rain drops she had
no idea, Michael just seems to know these things in regards to her.
She
took a deep breath, inhaling all the oxygen she can muster through
her lungs and slowly opened her eyes.
"What
is wrong Michael?" She started to yell, breaking free of his grasp.
"You have not touched me once in days Michael. Why is that? "
Her
eyes blood red, heart racing a thousand times faster than it had
before and fire burned in her beautiful eyes.
"I
will answer that shall I?" She continued when Michael did not say a
word, just standing there either in shock or not knowing what to say.
"You
don't feel anything. You just don't feel the way I do, am I
right?"
The
blood in Michael's veins boiled up, his heart beating. He could not
believe this is how she thought he felt. How could she not know?
"Sara"
"No
Michael. I have friggin ruined my whole life for you. I am now on the
run with no more family or friends and the one guy who I can't live
without wants nothing to do with me, can't even touch me. Now what
do you think that tells me?
He
just stared at her, wanting to reach out to her and to comfort her.
She was so angry, yet there was a hint of sadness in her eyes
"I
am so exhausted and tired of playing this game. I can't… I will
not be with someone who does not want to be with me…
So
please tell me… Explain to me, anything…"
Her
voice full of desperation and longing…"Just give me something to
go on, please" She pleaded to him, throwing her arms up in the air
in defeat.
He
thought about explaining to her his feelings and what she means to
him, but then thought of another idea. One better. To show her.
He
closed the space between them, grabbed the back of her neck and
kissed her full lips hard and passionate in one fast movement.
The
rain just suddenly got worse as he placed the other hand on her waist
bringing their bodies closer together, one on one. Nothing separating
them.
Her
hands are suddenly around his neck, as their kiss deepens. She gives
him more access to her mouth and lips, as she opens her mouth
allowing him entrance.
Thunder
and lightening begin to strike the sky, but it seems these two young
lovers do not notice as they are engrossed in each other.
Sara
grips at his shirt and pulls apart, resting her forehead against his
panting for some sort of oxygen relief.
"I
am so in love with you that it makes my head spin" His whispers,
Michael's breath attacking her mouth.
She
glances at his eyes and as they come in contact with her own, she
knows it is the truth.
He
then grabs her face and cups it in his hands, looking deeply at her.
"I
didn't touch you all the time, not because I didn't want to
because god I had to physically force myself to resist. But because I
didn't want you to think I was coming on too strong, I didn't
want you to be smothered by me. Just wanted to give you some space.
I'm sorry you felt I didn't want you, oh because I do. More than
you can imagine Sara"
A
wave of embarrassment rushes over her and she begins to feel so
stupid for thinking such things, suddenly she blushes and looks down.
"I'm
sorry…"
Reaching
up she again wraps her arms around his neck, playing with the hair on
the back of his neck.
"I
want you to know…" She began, biting on her bottom lip.
Then
taking a deep breath, she comes out with it. Just puts it on the
table.
"I
want you to know I have never been so in love with someone that it
made me nervous… "
He
waited…
"Until
now"
His
lips curled in a smile subtle smile, he knows it isn't easy for her
to say these words. Okay to be frank it may not be the first time she
nor they admitted their love for each other. But having sad it on the
train, a once off thing and not in so many words either, but this is
different.
They
are now soaked from head to toe, but if anyone would see these two
you would assume they were in heaven dancing on the moon or something
similar.
She
leaned in closer and took his lips within her own once again; a smile
hits her lips just as she kisses him.
For
those who thought a rainstorm is a tragic thing, especially if you
are out in must never have met Michael Scofield and Sara Tancredi.
This
storm is a new beginning, for hope of the future and realizations
that you can't run from love because it will end up chasing you
like a cat with a tail.
