For the record: The song is "Your Guardian Angel" By the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus...and I don't own it that either. :-(
"When I see your smile the tears run down my face I can't replace. And now that I'm strong I have figured out how this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul and I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one…" She fixed the edges of her bed, tucking them in and smoothing them out.
"Are you singing?" DG's eyes went wide and she whipped around to face him.
"How long have you been standing there?" His face formed a smile, the rare kind that made his face bright and his eyes shiny.
"Long enough to hear you sing that song that you're always playing." DG had made sure to go back to Kansas and get some of her things including her much loved music and radio. She blushed a little at his statement. It was typical of her to catch Cain doing something embarrassing, but never the other way around.
"I love that song, it's my favorite." she spoke in her own defense.
"I know…" He responded, "I've just never heard you actually sing it."
"Ok, so now that you've caught me, what do you think?"
"You do the song justice," he shrugged slightly, doubting his own statement and DG hurled a pillow in his direction. It whizzed by his head as he ducked to avoid it. Once it hit the floor, Cain went after it and threw it back at DG squaring her right in the stomach.
"CAIN!!" She yelled and he took off down the hallway, knowing she'd be on his heels in no time.
Cain opened the Princess' door. No knocking was needed, no special request for entry. The door was always open to him, always. Inside DG sat on her bed, face in her hands, tears dripping between her fingers, her song blaring out of the nearby radio. It had been one of the days where the occupation of 'Princess' was simply too much for her to bear. Times like these were coming less and less frequently. However, there were always those days where holding it all together was just beyond her grasp. Cain knew this all to well and always made sure he was never to far off.
He took it upon himself to hit the pause button (it took him a while, but he learned to work the buttons). The silence of the room let him hear her muffled cries. He took her by the sides, made her stand and moved her away from the bed. One hand rested now rest on her waist, the other in her hand. Pulling her in close, he began to sway slowly. The next move he pulled took DG by surprise.
Lowering his head, he took a small breath next to her ear and sang,
"Seasons are changing and waves are crashing and stars are falling all for us. Days grow longer and nights grow shorter. I can show you I'll be the one. I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever. I'll be there for you through it all, even if saving you sends me to heaven."
