DigiMew Mew: Musical Love
Author's Notes: Hey, guys, it's Blueberry-kun! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been stuck in writer's block for months! Well, the creative juices are flowing again, so here's the fourth chapter of 'Musical Love'!
A Thousand Miles
Blueberry's POV
I sighed, sticking my headphones in my ears. "See you guys later," I told my youth group friends.
"See you, Blueberry-kun," my youth group leader, Mako, said almost uncertainly. I had been depressed all night, all week really, since Cody left for the kendo tournament last Sunday. Despite all his reassurances, I didn't really believe him when he told me the girls there weren't going to fawn all over him.
"They've known me forever, Blueberry-kun. Nothing's going to change between them or us," he said the night before he left when I had called to voice my worries.
'Well, you said the same thing about the girls at school, Hida, and look at them now,' I thought, opening the door to the street and letting the warm spring air wash over me. I hit shuffle on my blue iPod and heard the opening piano chords of 'A Thousand Miles' as I walked away from my small church. I grinned a sad smile, acknowledging how much the song fit my mood at the moment. I looked back ahead to make sure I didn't bump in to anyone on the crowded street. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I wondered how much my parents and sisters were worried about me, both coming home so late and my depression over Cody leaving, even if it was for a short while, only a week really.
I sighed heavily, just listening to the song the matched me completely at the moment.
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder…
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
"Tonight," I sang along, attracting some stares from the passerby, which I ignored as the next verse started.
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories
That was very true. God had been very good to me, bringing Cody in to my life. Just when I needed someone to just listen and be a friend, I got someone who not only did that, but who loved me, not in a brotherly way, but really, truly loved me. Or, at least, that's what I thought. Doubts stirred in spite of me when I learned of the tournament. It struck me just then how much I missed Cody, with a painful ache starting on my chest.
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight
And I,I
Don't want to let you know
I,I
Drown in your memory
I wasn't necessarily drowning, but I wasn't treading water either, thinking of him. His smile, his voice, his laugh, his eyes, and most of all, his heart all drew me in like a moth to a flame. I didn't want to lose him while he was gone.
I,I
Don't want to let this go
I,I
Don't…
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
Slowly, the ache grew, and I felt like crying. "Cody, I miss you so much. I need you," I whispered in to the night, attracting more stares.
"Who is Cody?" One man asked beside me. I felt like answering, telling him that Cody was my first love, someone who made me smile every time I was with him, someone who made me feel like flying. But I just stayed silent.
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you…
I rounded the corner to my apartment building, casting my eyes to the ground because the crowds weren't as thick here. I then threw my eyes up in to what would be star-filled night if I had been back at my great grandma's in the countryside.
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by?
"You got all your stuff, Grandpa?" I heard a familiar voice say.
I snapped my head up. "Cody," I whispered, my eyes scanning for him. I found him at the entrance of our building, grabbing his own bag out of a bus. "Cody," I said again, speaking now, hoping he could hear me.
When he didn't respond, I began running and shouted. "Cody!"
I felt like crying, happy tears this time, when he looked up and said, "Blueberry-kun?" I answered by running only faster.
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
'He's here. He's home. I'm home,' I thought.
If I could
Just see you
As soon as I got close enough, I threw myself in to his arms, not caring who saw. Here was the one thing I wanted right now, not a memory that would fade with time when we got older, but something real, something solid. Here was Cody himself. I burrowed my face in his shoulder, nearly sobbing with relief. His arms, surprisingly strong for a fourteen-year-old, wrapped around me, holding me close. I drew back enough to put my arms about his neck and our eyes met.
If I could
Just hold you
"You really missed me, didn't you?" he asked, a slight laugh in his voice. I nodded shyly, then tilted my head up, kissing him, as the last word of the song played.
Tonight
