Title: Please Be Here...

Author: Kate-Emma

Summary: Waiting to take back what she said, Cass Rickman stands on a bridge in the dark and fears the worst when she sees the fireball rise into the air...

A/N: Meh, my computer hates me and I got bored one afternoon. No need to review, I already know it sucks!

Cass patted her fingers on the bridge railing and stared down into the water.
She knew he'd becoming this way, he always took this shortcut to the bar.
He'd shown her it once himself.
It was only a bridge in the dark but for Cass it was a small leap into the future.
She'd finally say what she'd wanted to say for so long...

I'm Standing On The Bridge
I'm Waiting In The Dark
I Thought That You'd Be Here By Now
There's Nothing But The Rain
No Footsteps On The Ground
I'm Listening But There's No Sound

Rain slowly came down in short sprinkles and Cass smiled up at it.
It wasn't as if rain was rare, it was England after all, but it was so cleaning...washing.
Cass raised her hands to the sky willing it slowly to wash away all the memories of everything bad she'd said or done.
"Starting afresh." She whispered aloud.
Stopping she looked up towards the direction of the station as she heard a sound.
She glanced into the darkness and saw a rabbit hop through the bushes.
Cass sighed and glanced at her watch.
"Where are you?" She questioned the sky.

Isn't Anyone Trying To Find Me?
Won't Somebody Come Take Me Home?
It's A Damn Cold Night
Trying To Figure Out This Life
Won't You...Take Me By The Hand
Take Me Somewhere New
I Don't Know Who You Are
But I'm With You

The next moment a sharp boom rocked the peaceful night and Cass glanced toward the direction of the sound.
The station!
Taking a small gasp she sprinted toward the station to see the whole top floor explode into flames.
"Oh my gosh." She whispered watching the flames engulf the level.
Standing on the edge of the road Cass watched the station burn into the bright orange light while she hoped and prayed that everyone inside was alright.

I'm Looking For A Place
I'm Searching For A Face
Is Anybody Here I Know?
Cause Nothing's Going Right
And Everything's A Mess
And No One Likes To Be Alone

The fire brigade turned up but it was too late.
"Will the people inside be okay?" She asked a nearby fireman.
His eyes opened wider.
"There's people inside? How many?"
Cass shrugged. "6 or 7"
The man frowned. "It doesn't look good for them ma'am...to say it straight."
Cass turned away and retreated to the bushes.
She'd seen all she needed to see.
Enough to know she'd never get the chance to say how she felt to his face.
"Please live Sam, I don't know what I could do without you..."
The wind carried the sound of her voice into the night...

Why Is Everything So Confusing?
Maybe I'm Just Out Of My Mind...
It's A Damn Cold Night
Trying To Figure Out This Life...

A/N: LONG LIVE SAM/CASS!
He He He.
I'm only slightly obsessed! Really!
