A/n: I own nothing but the idea.

Sequel to United We Stand Divided We Fall. Enjoy it:)

Peace, love, and Halo.

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight

"Why don't you just get a new clock that isn't broken?" Sami my sister asked as she came into my room unannounced.

"Why buy a new clock if the broken one works just fine?" I asked her but she gave me a what-are-you-hiding-from-me look. "Fine to be honest it helps me sleep at night."

Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time

Tomorrow a day that I don't want to come because when it does then its official that Massie Block has dropped me as not only her best friend but a person in general.

"Well it's broken so how are you going to tell the time?" Sami asked.

"Good question but I just want it to stop tomorrow from coming"

"You're so weird." And with that said she left me to my thoughts.

I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts

I'm still waiting for the doorbell to ring and to see your face. You'll say you're just kidding and we'll be good again. I still have my doubts that we're over.

I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out
I'm like my broken clock, damaged. You've already figured out that I am damaged but it doesn't seem like you care.

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing

How can you do this to me? After everything I've done for you. I kept you alive when you were barely breathing but you are taking away my oxygen tank.

Derrick: Why r u doing this to me?

Massie: Doing what?

Derrick: Taking away my breath?

I wait twenty minutes but you don't reply because you don't understand what damage you have caused me.

With a broken heart that's still beating

I should have chosen you but instead I chose Claire, a girl that I don't even love. I had a plan to win you back but then you showed up unexpectedly at my house with my good friend, Plovert and you told me that my things were in the trunk of his car. That's all you said but those words were cold enough to break my heart into pieces.

In the pain, there is healing

I have been trying to move on and I'm even dating one of your good friends, Alicia but she isn't anything compared to you. I'm healing but the pain is still here because I know that I will never have you again and that I should just move on but I can't.

In your name I find meaning

M: Manners-you're always behaving like a lady.

A: Attitude-the one thing that drives me crazy but it's the reason why I love you so much.

S: Sassy-the way you come with clever sassy comebacks.

S: Socialite-the many friends that you have and how you sparkle in a dark room.

I: Intelligent-not only are you street smart but you're book smart as well.

E: Everlasting-how you'll always mean something to me forever.

So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on

"Dude what are you doing?" Cam, my best friend asked as he walked into my room. He has been on edge because I haven't responded to any of texts or returned any of his calls.

"I can't get her out of my mind, man." I said honestly, but as always he thinks that I'm talking about Claire.

"It's time to move on and with someone new" Cam said then he pulled me out of bed and pushed me to the bathroom.

I close the door and turn on the shower. Then I pull off my shirt and my pants but before I take off my boxers I pull out the picture I have of you. It's the only thing I have left of you.

I'm barely holdin' on to you

I push the picture back into the right back pocket of my jeans and then I jump into the shower.

"Man, you're right it's time to move on." I said to Cam as I changed my clothes. The shower gave me time to think about you and what I should do for myself.

"Let's hit the clubs, man." Cam said as he jingled his car keys. I smiled and we walked out of my room. I'm barely hanging out you now.

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head

"You're so hot. Why don't we go back to my house and finish this?" a random hot chick that is grinding on me said. For a moment I thought about it but then you came back into my mind.

"Maybe some other time," I said then I went to search for Cam. Once I found him making out with some random girl. "I'm leaving man, peace." And with that I left.

I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
Massie: Derrick u need to move on and find someone new

I thought I was hiding my pain so well but it looks like I'm an open book instead.

I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
Every time I close my eyes I see your face staring right back at me. Those piercing amber eyes filled with sadness and hollow still reflect inside my eyes.

That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life

Everyone is born with a purpose in life and I haven't found mine yet but I'm pretty sure that it involves you. Everyone is still looking for life in this dead beat world.
I'm hangin' on another day

Another day is done and I'm still hanging on.

Just to see what you throw my way
"I told you to not let Derrick anywhere near me" Massie barked at her good friend, Alicia.

"Chill out, M. He's not here for you" Alicia said flatly.

"Then who is he here for?" Massie asked.

"Me" Alicia said happily.

And I'm hanging on to the words you say
"What?" Massie said confused.

"We're dating, M." Alicia said then she tugged on me tightly.

"Oh well I guess you move on really quickly Derrick," Massie said obviously hurt. "I just thought you wouldn't have moved on within three days, I thought I was a little more to get over but I guess not."

You said that I will be OK
"Massie this isn't easy on me. I don't want to be with Alicia, I want to be with you and only you."

"You're going to be okay, Derrick."
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone

Losing you is like losing my vision. If I can't see than maybe the pain of losing you wouldn't hurt as much. Maybe I'll be on an empty freeway alone but I would never know.

I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

The best thing about being lost is you discover you so many new things that you never knew and you find the strength that you never thought you had to carry on. But you'll never forget your way home.

In your name I find meaning

M: Magnificent

A: Amazing

S: Sophisticated

S: Sweet

I: Integrity

E: Energetic

I'm barely holdin' on to you

It's time for me to move on because clearly you don't regret leaving me alone. It's time to pack up all your things into boxes and try to forget all the memories I have of you. I'm barely holding on to you now.

Review, please:)
