A songfic that's been on my mind pretty much since I first read this scene and finally I gave myself the time to sit and write it out, if only so it would stop playing over and over in my head. ;) The song fits soooo well for the whole situation, so I just had to do it. Hope y'all like it!!! Oh, the song is "Someday" by, uh, Nickelback I think...and as everyone already knows I don't own it nor MR, so there. NOW enjoy! ;) AND REVIEW
Someday…
"Fine," said Fang, slinging on his pack.
"Fine," I said, tilting my chin up, wishing with all my strength that he wouldn't do this, and making darn sure he couldn't tell I was wishing it.
Just as he turned to leave, our eyes met. We were both thinking the same thing. A fraction of a second lasted a lot longer as our locked gazes said more than we'd ever allow ourselves to.
How the hell'd we wind up like this,
And why weren't we able,
To see the signs that we missed,
And try to turn the tables.
I wish you'd unclench your fists,
And unpack your suitcase,
Lately there's been too much of this,
But don't think it's too late.
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will…
Someday, somehow,
I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now.
I know you're wondering when.
You're the only one who knows that,
Someday, somehow,
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now.
I know you're wondering when.
Even after the moment ended, the glance was shared, understood, and he'd turned to go, the message still reverberated in my mind.
Well I'd hoped that since we're here anyway,
We could end up saying,
Things we've always needed to say,
So we could end up staying.
We were being truthful in our promise; we'd said things that we probably did need to get off our chest, hoping to clear the air. It just didn't work. They were still leaving. Fang was still leaving.
Now the story's played out like this,
Just like a paperback novel,
Let's rewrite an ending that fits,
Instead of a Hollywood horror.

I know you're wondering when…
A silent promise, known only to Fang and I; unofficial but more binding than any contract. We'd make it alright someday, we promised each other in a moment of understanding forgiveness that foreshadowed more in the future. Someday…but as for now, they'd turned and simply walked away.
And that was that. The flock was split in two. And I really had no idea if I would ever see Fang and his group again. No certainties, but I did have hope. Hope, and our desperate mutual promise.
Someday…
