Hmm, quite different than my other Mimi/Roger fic... Oh, by the way, this was based off of Avenged Sevenfold's "Dear God." Great band... Great song... Hopefully an okay fic...
Roger drove down the never ending highway and hoped he would find a place to stop soon. He had just crossed the New Mexico state line and was tired as Hell. All the towns he had passed were quiet, and all the shops were closed. There's nothing here for me on this broken road, the musician thought bitterly.
He had thought of nothing besides Mimi for the entire drive. Her hair, her face, her eyes. Everything, even her smell. God I must be insane, he thought grimacing.
He was lonely, tired, and was missing New York and everyone in it. But he was almost to Santa Fe, he couldn't turn back now. It was over for him and Mimi. Over.
Then why was it so hard to leave her? Roger thought suddenly. Silent tears streamed down his face as he drove further into the night. He replayed all of the good memories in his head dozens of times. I was so stupid, he thought, remembering all of the little fights that robbed him of precious hours he could have spent being with Mimi. Some people search their whole lives to find the person who can be true to them, and I left her when I found her. God I wish I'd stayed.
He looked up at the sky and did something he had never done before. Roger Davis prayed, he prayed with everything he had. God, the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away. Keep her safe and warm, but most of all, let her forget. Forget all about me and all the pain I caused her. She shouldn't have to live with that. I will remember her until the day I die, but let her move on, and spend however much time she has left in peace. Please.
With a tear stained face Roger continued down his broken road, still thinking of all the memories that would haunt him forever.
Good, bad, ugly? I will only know if you review...
