Title: Live For You
Genre: Romance
Couple: VladxMaddie
Song: Earthquake- The Used
She had an
earthquake on her mind
I almost heard her cry out as I left her
far behind
I knew the world was crashing down around her
I sink
now to the ocean floor
Cause I know we are more but I've made this
mess
I've built this fire, are you still mine?
She stormed down the street, her high heels clacking against the cement, her hands balled into angry fists. Her curly brunette hair puffed around her furious face as she stomped away from that man.
"I should have known that man could never impress a woman! I don't now why in the world I ever said yes to him." She immediately regretted her decisions. Vladimir Masters was an egotistical, money obsessed geek…to say the least. They say those sort of people get the farthest in the world. She sort of doubted he ever would with his attitude in this world. He had major obsessive compulsive disorder. He never cared what anyone else thought. It drove her insane!
Cause baby
I'm not all right when you go
I'm not fine, Please be all mine
I
never want you to go because I am all yours so please be all mine
"Maddie!" She heard his voice as he ran after her. So pathetic. Did he ever catch a clue?
"Vlad! It's over!" She didn't even spare the man a look. She was just so disgusted in his wretch of an attitude. Best friends or not, this was simply not working out. Perhaps the reason was that…she loved someone else. She couldn't break that.
"Please Maddie. Don't go." He grabbed her wrist, having finally caught up to her, "I didn't mean any of that. Really, they just sort of tumbled out of my mouth."
"Vlad, you insulted me. You publicly humiliated me. You don't care for me at all! Let go!" She wrenched her hand away from him, "And don't you dare follow me. I am not in the mood for a stalker!"
She had an
earthquake on her mind
apparently the kind that would bury us
alive
by putting all this weight on us forever
I lie here on
the ocean floor
Broken castle by the shore and I made this mess
I built this fire, are you still mine?
He watched her leave, a sad look on his young face. He couldn't stop her and he knew it. He'd screwed up again. No matter how hard he tried he always seemed to screw up on her. His words tangled up when he tried to talk to her. Is that what love always did?
Maddie's pace gradually slowed and she couldn't help but shoot back a glance at where she'd left him. True, she knew he tried. But he just wasn't the one for her. Nothing he said hit her in the heart, nothing seemed right to her.
Vlad sat criss-cross on the hood of his blue trans am, staring off in thought. The cold autumn wind blew around his thing body but he paid no heed to it. Would she be gone forever? Would he ever have a second chance? Could they even be friends anymore? He rubbed his arm slightly. Dang rash, always showing up at the worst time.
Cause baby I'm not all right when you go
I'm not fine, Please be
all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours so please
be all mine.
Vlad fingered the small photograph in his hands. Who knew on little slip of paper could bring back so many memories? Even memories lost a long twenty years prior. He leaned back in his chair and stared at the chandelier. That date didn't turn out to end their friendship. It led to talks, fights, make-ups. But still to this day, he wasn't the one holding her in his arms. He wasn't the one who greeted her every morning cheerfully…no…he was the forty year old man still trying to get a woman he'd lost a long time ago. He was the one pursuing something he would never get.
He'd never admit to a loss, but in all honesty…this had been one for a long time. One he really never understood. He was still living for her…so why wasn't she living for him?
