Chapter 2:
I used to think that this was perfect
I wish that it was never ending
But those days are gone forever
It's something I'm not missing
There's a voice, there's a voice in my head telling me to think
About the times that you were cruel and mean
I don't care if you walk away
I'm here to stay and you need to hear
"I am sick of this, Tohma!"
A vase grazed passed his cheek and shattered on the wall behind him. The woman in front of him was crying, her brown hair a mess, her blue eyes blazing with anger. She stared at him, slowly taking in deep draws of breath to calm herself down.
"I have tried and tried all I could, but this isn't working out!"
She turned on her heel so her back was to him. I reached out to her, but no words escaped from his lips. He stared at her back helplessly, silently praying that she would forgive him and take everything back and start over new.
"I've tried to look passed it, but nothing I do works. I am just a shadow of what you really want. You couldn't have the real thing so you settled for second best."
She bent down and picked up her bags, walking slowly out of her home, her eyes taking in everything they could one last time.
You make me sick
But I love what we're doing here
You make me sick
And I can't be the only one
I have to take advantage before the moment passes by
It's so hard to manage the ups and downs of your life
Someone help me before I start to scream out
Anything to break a silence
You're holding me back
Confined by doubt
You make me sick
But I love what we're doing here
You make me sick
And I can't be the only one
"I have tried all I could, and I tried to believe that you loved me and only me." She stopped short of the door. "But, when it gets to the point that I have to listen to you cry at night because he's had another relapse... I can't live like that. You can tell me you are sorry and that you love me, but I know better than to believe you. He is all you love and need, not me. I'm just his sister, after all. I can't dare replace someone like him."
He dropped to his hands and knees. He wasn't going to beg her to stay because everything she had said was true. He loved her brother more than anything. But, he needed her. She was the only one to show him even the slightest bit of care. He needed her so he could get over him. He needed her so he could move on. He was slowly learning to love her, he cared enough to want her to stay. But, he knew she had every right to leave. She felt like a shadow to one he really loved. And, she was. But, the shadow she was, it was becoming a solid figure, and his broken heart was healing. But, now, it was sheared and shattered again as he watched his last source of salvation walk out the front door.
Cause I need you, cause I need you hear with me
When it falls through and I'm down upon my knees
There's a force, there's a voice in my head telling me to
Think about everything
Last time I believed
Now I realize
