A/N Okay. I was listening to this song and thought that it would go great with Arty and Holly's relationship. Here we go..
PS. I don't own Artemis Fowl or the song lyrics.
If You're Gone
(Lyrics By Matchbox 20)
I think I've already lost you I think you're already gone I think I'm finally scared now You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong I think you're already leaving Feels like your hand is on the door I thought this place was an empire But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure
Artemis was lying in bed, wondering if their relationship had changed and when he'd see Holly again.
He used to always find sanctuary in his room, but not anymore.. It wasn't the same. He had missed three years of his life. The room had had a fine coat of dust when he'd returned. His parents hadn't touched the room in his absence.
Artemis started to meditate and even relax a little bit.
I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - I think too much I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing
Why couldn't they have a relationship? They had already broken so many rules.
He was scared; Opal was back and they barely defeated her the last time.
Butler had always told him he thought too much, but he used to disregard it, but maybe he was right…
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home Cuz there's a little bit of something me In everything in you
She had left for home, but was she really at home there? He had heard her apartment had been sold when they had gone missing.
He thought he should call her, but he didn't really want to have to face her.
Unconsciously, Artemis touched his hazel eye that had once been Holly's. They'd always be together.
I bet you're hard to get over I bet the room just won't shine I bet my hands I can stay here I bet you need - more than you mind
He couldn't get over her decision.
'Maybe in another time,' she had said.
Life was so different without the constant adventures. It was too quiet.
He wondered if she felt the same.
I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home Cuz there's a little bit of something me In everything in you
Artemis resolved to call her, as soon as he resolved to get up.
This could take awhile…but he did get up and managed to call the elf.
"Holly?"
