I'll Always Have You
Chapter Seven: I Have Loved You All Along
Okay guys, the story's getting good now, right? RIGHT?! That's what I thought. -that is, if you answered yes- Well anyways guys, I'm enjoying writing this story. I might draw it out. I dunno yet. But thank you for reading all this time && being so patient on my late ass. -sweatdrop- Shall we continue before you guys kick my ass? BTW: the lyrics for Tattoo belong to Jordin Sparks, although I wish I would have wrote them. ONWARD!
"Misa Misa, are you just about ready?"
"Hai." Misa was wearing a floor length midnight black dress with layers of lace flowing to the bottom. For once her hair wasn't in pigtails, she had it pulled back in a tight bun. Blood red lipstick was applied neatly across her full lips and her blue-green eyes were gray again. She was also wearing her darkest eyeliner and black eye shadow. Misa looked like a gothic princess, ready for death to envelope her whole. The stage manager came through the door and motioned for her to come through the curtains.
"Ready, Misa Misa?"
"Of course, when has Misa Misa not been ready?" She wore a fake smile and got ready to go through the curtain when two voices called out to her.
"Misa-chan!" She turned on the spot and saw L and Light standing at her door.
"What do you want? I'm about to go on."
"I want to talk to you after the show." Light walked up to Misa and took her hands into his. "I'm sorry for the pain I caused you." Misa's eyes clouded and she looked down at the floor, biting her lip.
"Don't do this to me before my show. I'll lose my nerve." Misa let go of Light's hands and pulled the curtain open. "Listen to the show and I'll talk to you afterwards. Stay back here." Misa disappeared beyond the curtain in a trail of black lace.
"There went my chance." Light sighed and lowered his head.
"I don't think so. Misa's dying to talk to you. So just do what she says." L pulled a seat out from a corner. Light shrugged and did the same. Honestly, what did he have to lose?
"Here's a TV to watch Misa Misa on." One of the stagehands carried over a small TV and placed it on a table in front of the men. They shared a glance and started to watch it. Misa got the microphone and put on her best fake smile.
"Hey you guys, it's been forever since I performed live. I've missed this so much." The happy tone of her voice was almost convincing to the men watching her backstage. Almost. "But I have some bad news. I'm sick. Deathly sick." She listened as many audience members shouted in rage and some gasped. "This will be my last show if my health doesn't improve. So I just want to thank you guys, all my fans, for helping me through all my rough patches here lately." Misa sat down on a piano bench and started to play.
Oh oh oh
No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later, I get what I'm asking for
No matter what you say about life
I learn everytime I bleed
That truth is a stranger
Soul is in danger, I gotta let my spirit be free
To admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on
And leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
(Just like a tattoo, I'll always have you
I'll always have you, I'll always have you)
I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror, didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could
Stop, admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I gotta be strong
And leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
(Just like a tattoo, I'll always have you
I'll always have you)
If I live every moment
Won't change a moment
Still a part of me and you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you
Light felt himself go to pieces. So she still loved him, after all that he had done. L saw and smiled to himself. "I helped her write that song you know. The day you went to Misa-chan's apartment, she was gone with me to record that song." Light hastened to wipe away the tears and turned to look at L.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Misa-chan wanted it to be a surprise." The men watched the rest of the show in silent thought. Finally, Misa bowed herself off gracefully and came back through the curtains.
"Misa, that was..." She held up her hand and closed her eyes. She was a bit pale, paler than usual.
"Misa-chan!" L caught Misa as she fell and Light caught her head.
"How did you know?"
"She did this a couple months ago, before we knew what was wrong. That's when I told her to go to the doctor." Light picked her up and held her tenderly in his arms as L dialed for an ambulance.
"You'll never fall again without me being there to catch you." The ambulance came in minutes and both the men rode to the hospital with the one girl lucky enough to know them.
Aww, poor Misa-chan! -sniffles- How's that for luck? Well ladies && gents, this ain't the end yet. So keep a close eye out for the next chappie, aight? See you then!
