Never Gone

Flack's POV

I still remember that day like it happened only moments ago.

Even after, I was an emotional wreck.

The things we did, the things we said
Keep comin' back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you

Thinking of everything we did together. I don't regret a thing, not one. It makes me smile whenever I think about the time we had together. A smile so big, I have no clue how it can fit on my face.

Though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never separate us
Deep inside, I know you are

The first time I kissed her. Jess was everything to me, and her dying the way she did...

I know there wasn't anything I could do. I tried my best.

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you would be forever in my life (yeah!)
Never gone

I hate to think about it, but people have always said 'things happen for a reason'. But there's no reason she should've died.

Getting frustrated, I slammed my fist into the bench I'd been sitting on.

I'd been outside in the park. It's a pretty nice place to think, even though it's winter and cold. It's nice.

No, no, no, no

I walk along these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you've shown
Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone

Tears started to form in my eyes.

"I thought this was done," I mumbled as I wiped them away.

(Somehow) somehow you found a way
To see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on
I swear to you that you will be

Staring out into the snowy scenerythat almost seemed fake, I heard footsteps.

"Thought I'd fine you out here," the voice said before I had a chance to look. I didn't turn though, I already knew who it was.

"Oh yeah?" I answered, finally turning my head towards Danny.

Danny smirked, dusting the snow off the bench and sat next to me.

"Shouldn't you be at home with Lindsay and Lucy?" I asked him.

He nodded, "Yeah," Danny started. "Lindsay let me out of the house. She told me to go talk to you." Danny's smirk left his face.

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close (always close), everyday (everyday yeah)
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you would be forever in my life (in my life, yeah)

"Why are you out here anyway? It's freakin' freezing!" Danny rubbed his hands together.

Never gone (gone from me)
If there's one thing I believe (I believe)
I will see you somewhere down the road again
(I will see you somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere)

Shrugging, I answered him, "I don't know. I'm just thinking I guess."

He stopped rubbing his hands and shoved them in the pockets of his coat.

"Oh," Danny answered. "What about?"

I looking away from him, fearing I'd start up again, I put my head in my hands and sighed. "Jess."

(Never gone) Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close (always close, always close), everyday (everyday, everyday)
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye (yeah, yeah)
I know you would be forever in my life

He stayed silent.

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are (in my heart is where you are)
Always close (always close), everyday (everyday)
Every step along the way

We didn't say a word for what seemed like hours. Finally, Danny spoke up.

"She's not...gone, Don."

I lifted my head out of my hands, "What?"

He stood up, "Think about it," Danny said. "In spirit, Angell will always be with you. Look, I should probably get going. Talk to you later?" He started walking backwards, but slowly.

"Yeah, later," I said still thinking about what he'd said. Danny gave a small wave, turning around to walk the right way.

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are

Once he was totally out of sight, I thought about it more. He does have a point, ever since I met her, she's always been in my heart. Even after she died, she was still there. I will see her again, maybe not anytime soon, but I will. I know that for a fact.

After a few more hours of thinking, I finally stood up. But before I walked back home, I looked around me, wishing Jess could be here with me.

In spirit, Angell will always be with you.

Danny's words echoed in my head.

"I love you Jess," I murmured.

A/N: :) I like it, how about you? I loved the Danny/Flack friendship there! Please review?
