I don't own anything…Read and review please. The song is 'slipped Away' by Avril Lavigne.
Chapter 10
Na na, na nana na na
I miss you miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
Heartbroken. That's what she was as she lay on the ground, unmoving and still. She felt hollow inside and she couldn't cry anymore. She felt she used them up, but her face was tight with dried tears. Her green eyes were dull and glossy. So much like doll's eyes. She lay on her stomach arms folded under her, hands folded into fists. She was just a hollow shell of the bubbly girl she once was. She had no use for emotions at the moment anyway. She couldn't fly anymore. Her taffeta dress was crinkled and she needed to comb out her hair and wash her face. She always was clean and tidy.
Her friends were concerned. Where was that bubbly alien that was their best friend, their sister? It was if when Richard died she died. Was that how heartbrokenness and death acted together? Take one person away forever and send the other into a spiraling dark hole of depression? Was it a hole that would keep her from living her life and from moving on? She wouldn't eat. She just laid still staring off into space, ignoring her friends and keeping to herself. She rarely slept and when she did she would cry out his name and sob in hysterics as nightmares plagued her.
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same, oh
She couldn't tell how many times she was shaken awake by one of her friends. They said she was crying his name out again and she was sobbing. She couldn't tell how many times she found her face soaked in fresh tears. She couldn't bring herself to forget or get over him. She felt a nagging sense that he was okay. But she knew it was foolish to dare to hope that, but couldn't help herself. It provided some comfort to think that he only away for a while and he was coming back in the morning. Where was it she heard that if you thought about the good times the sadness went away? She tried to remember and gave a quiet chuckle. She was so jealous of Kitten when there wasn't anything to be jealous about.
Her friends tried to break through the barrier she put around herself. They worried she would end up having a mental breakdown and would have to be placed in an asylum. They were grateful that she hadn't pulled anything stupid i.e. take her own life. They worried when she walked around chuckling to herself and shaking her head, but it was soon concluded it was memories flying past her eyes.
Na na
Na nana na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish I could see you again,
I know that I can't
Her friends noticed changes in their friend. Her green eyes were still dull and doll like but they contained more life. A flair of determination was held. Whether it was the hope to give her love a proper Earth burial or just plan insanity they couldn't tell if it was a good thing. At night she would sob and scream out his name. During the day she would chuckle to herself, occasionally sharing memories with her friends. She would hold a brush and just sit in front of a mirror and groom herself. She would be brushing and humming to herself, offering to do her friends' hair.
She felt like her old self again when she thought of the good times and if she dared enough to hope he was alive. She knew her friends noticed and that they were still concerned about her. She felt fine and she couldn't wait until they left. They were planning to leave in the morning when it was still dark and riding all day at a gallop.
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same, oh
I have had my wake up
Won't you wake up?
I keep asking why
I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened you passed by.
She woke up and a dawning realization. When she got there, he wasn't going to climb up and hug her. Tell her it was all okay and it was all just a misunderstanding. He wasn't going to say he was unconscious and understood why she thought he was dead. He passed away, being his gallant self by saving her and Duke's lives. She felt stupid and naïve. How could she think he was all right? He was gone? But the words felt like a dream. It was too soon for his life to end when he just began it. He was in his prime!
She wanted this dream to end. But it wouldn't because it wasn't a dream.
Her friends noticed her relapse into depression. They felt helpless and useless. They wanted their friend to be her old happy self again. They hoped seeing the body wouldn't drive her over the edge.
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back
Their mission was kept a secret and her relapse didn't slow them down. She sped things up by urging them on. She wanted proof he was gone. The only way was to see him in person.
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same
No, the day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same, oh
He was dead. Those words felt like a dream. She wanted this dream to end. But it wouldn't end because it wasn't a dream. It felt like a nightmare but it was real. It wasn't a dream.
Na na, na nana, na na
I miss you
I love writing songfics. If you look at the rest of my stories most of them involve songs. Anyway, for chapter 11 I might do another one to 'My Immortal' So please review!
