Not Giving Up

By Waterrain

She never slows down.

She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down

She won't turn around

The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down

Germany woke up in the morning and she felt as if something was missing. There is no Italy, her blue eyes widened, and she got up out of bed. There was a note and Germany bite down harshly on her lip making it bleed just to stop the tears.

Italy did not have the courage to tell her for he just left a note and left her all alone without saying anything. Germany shook her head while quietly telling herself to forget Italy and pretend he was never her friend. Her best friend is gone, she bite down harder on her lip, and pinched her cheeks to keep the tears away.

Germany ripped up the letter, she took it outside, and then burned it to a crisp.

'I wish that I had never even met Italy. Should not have let him into my heart.' Germany thought and then sighed out loud while shaking her head. 'I should be happy to no longer save him for trouble always seem to follow him.'

So stand in the rain

Stand your ground

Stand up when it's all crashing down

You stand through the pain

You won't drown

And one day, whats lost can be found

You stand in the rain

It was raining outside and she walked out of her home into the rain.

"Everything will be alright." Germany told herself firmly and then whispered. "One day Italy might come back, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon."

She looked up at the sky, feeling the cold rain falling onto her face, and it felt nice. The cold didn't bother Germany and she can bare it. Her uniform was soaked, but that can always be dried and she enjoyed the moment of relaxation. Forgetting about how Italy left so suddenly and without a word. Only a letter and Germany sighed to herself. She walked inside, changed her outfit, and went back to the paper work.

She won't make a sound

Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down

She wants to be found

The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.

Germany was listening to the beautiful rain, she smiled to herself sadly, and remembered how Italy had left her. Why does he's betrayal hurt so badly and she shook her head fiercely. Germany put a hand on her cheek and she felt like this was no surprise for Italy is not really good at fighting. He would have gotten himself hurt, she would have to save him, and there will no longer be dead weight. It is better off this way for he would not be able to handle it.

Now that she has thought about it for a few days, things will be quiet, and no more Italy's clumsiness. No more silly words will be said and no more messes to clean up. Yet Germany did not feel any joy or find any comfort in it. Italy was her first friend and she felt as if she couldn't stand up from her chair by the window. The rain was beautiful, everything is washed away, and brings life.

Her hands were damp and she felt her eyes burn. Germany shook her head, she will not remember the times with Italy, and there is no time for those memories.

Germany clenched her fists, she tried to blink away those tears, but they were rebellious. Her palms had crescent moon shapes due to her nails although they are short and she stood up from her chair.

So stand in the rain

Stand your ground

Stand up when it's all crashing down

"I'm not the type to sit around and give up. I'm alone, but I will not give up and lie down. Italy is no longer here, he will not return until everything is over, and settled. I do not care if I win or lose. I just want this war to be done with already."

She stated to herself firmly while opening her front door and stepping outside into the rain. It was pouring down a lot of rain, but Germany didn't care and she took a deep breath before releasing it.

"It is not like Italy is dead. It is not the end of the world and I will live." Germany commented firmly to herself and clenched her fists until her palms bleed. "No matter what I will stand up and not feel sorry for myself. I still have my bruder although he is annoying at times."
