Chapter 4
(It had been 4 days and poppy still hadn't come out, branch realized she was turning into his old self and he wasn't gonna let that happen)
Branch: poppy? Poppy please let me in
(No answer)
Branch: poppy please
Poppy: (opens the door) what?
Branch: please poppy don't be unhappy I can't stand to see you like this
Poppy: (doesn't say anything) I just don't wanna believe my moms really gone...I know she's still here
Branch: I believe you poppy
Poppy: you-you do?
Branch: of course I do (smiles) I love you poppy
Poppy: I love you too branch
Branch: (takes her chin and kisses her softly) I think you needed that (stares at her and then starts to sing) Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming round
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight (he stops singing and smiles at poppy)
Poppy: (smiles really big and starts to sing) Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
And there's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart (smiles and stops singing)
Branch & Poppy: (take each other's hands and dance around the room as they sing together) And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight (they both stop singing and they hug and kiss)
Poppy: that was so beautiful Branch was that the song...when your grandma..
Branch: yes it was...I never did get to finish it that day..but now I did...with you..
Poppy: thank you for singing it for me
Branch: well I did say I would sing more often (smiles)
Poppy: so are we really doing this?
Branch: of course...we'll leave at dawn and leave a note on the troll tree so no one gets worried but if we're gonna leave we better get to bed
(They go into the bed room and Branch puts the pillow barrier back up but poppy takes it down)
Branch: poppy...
Poppy: (looks at him with begging eyes)
Branch: ok ok you win (takes down the barrier and snuggles up to her but teases her) is my poppy happy now?
Poppy: always happy
Branch: good (kisses her head) now let's get some sleep we have a long day tomorrow
(They both fall asleep)
