Voice4TheMute Proudly Presents
I can't believe he's dying! We've known each other forever it seems like, I don't know if I can face him after all that I've done; all the mistakes, all the heartbreak, all the deception. Will he even want to see my face?"
"There is only one way to find out," A male figure forebodingly said as he pointed at a hospital door.
A gulp was loud enough to be heard as a blonde female walked slowly to the door. Opening it ever so slowly she somberly asked, "Hello, do you remember me old buddy?"
"How can I forget?"
The two exchange awkward smiles as… "CUT, CUT, CUT! This is all wrong!"
The Guest Chapter by TrixieStixs
"What's a matter Mr. Wright? Did I miss my cue or something?" The blonde woman asked, not quite sure what she did wrong.
"Lisa, baby, how many times do I have to tell you, just call me Egor. And no, you hit all your cues just fine. It's just that… there is something missing, I can't put my finger on it though. I might have to cut you out of the script." Egor said as he didn't even look Lisa Miller when he said it, in fact he seemed to be staring off into space as he said his statement.
Lisa then tried to gain her director's attention by waving her hands frantically in front of his eyes, this action seemed to work. Once Lisa felt that Egor got the picture she then asked him, "But Egor, I'm one of the main characters in the script. You can't just write me out of the script, can you?"
"Lisa, if there's one thing I pride myself on it's my ability to edit. I once adapted this comic book-"
"Alright, I get it. I'm expendable," Lisa said nervously.
"Hey, cheer up, I'll tell you what. I'll give you a few days to try and get into character. Because right now it seems like you can't fill the shoes this role calls for. And I like you," Director Wright said with a grin.
"Thank you Mr. Wright, I won't let you down!"
Egor's smile then faded as he then took on a more serious tone and said, "Besides I heard Rehab isn't so bad."
"But-"
"I said, it's not that bad!"
Later…
"Stupid Egor, stupid rehab, stupid Hollywood, stupid life." Lisa mumbled as she began walking towards the kitchen in her tiny, and shitty, apartment. The apartment itself wasn't that bad. I mean sure every actress dreams of moving to Hollywood and getting a one room apartment in the middle of the slums.
Making her way to the kitchen she opened her fridge and grabbed a pint of ice-cream, one of those way to expensive pints of that Ben & Jerry's stuff. If I can't live like a star at least I'll eat like one! Lisa thought to herself as she grabbed a spoon and lethargically made her way to her couch. She slumped down onto it when she finally made it to her destination and grabbed the remote. Turning on the T.V she flipped through a couple of channels, finally deciding to leave it on a sappy romance movie. You know the ones, where two people overcome massive odds and sexual, and awkward, tension to live happily ever after. Is this really what my life has come to? Did I come all the way out here to eat ice-cream and watch sappy romance movies? But before Lisa could belittle herself more her cell-phone began to ring. She quickly picked it up and looked down to see who was calling. A smile then appeared as she answered, "Kim you won't believe, how crappy of a day I'm having, I'm so glad you-" Lisa suddenly stopped mid-sentence as her mouth fell open.
It seemed Karma was one cruel bitch.
The Final Farewell 023: Promised Land
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE LEAVING?" Lisa Miller yelled in shock, as she shook a brown haired boy by the shoulders.
"I'm leaving to Toronto is what it means," the boy said, not even looking Lisa in the face.
"When?" Desperation clearly coming through her voice now, as she said the one-worded question.
"Tomorrow,"
Two tears slowly rolled down Lisa's face as she quickly wiped them away with her shoulders. "Why Scott? Why am I the last to know? Couldn't you have at least given me a couple days notice? I mean I'm your best friend… right?" Lisa's face showed the internal battle that she was waging against her emotions. She was doing everything in her power not to let the tears she had at the cusps of her eyelids free. Lisa succeeded in that endeavor, although because she was so focused on not crying she didn't notice that she was still shaking Scott in desperation.
"You're not the last Lisa," Scott said with shame in his voice as he looked away from his blonde friend.
"NO! Scott? Please tell me that means what I think it means? Please tell me you told her," Lisa pleaded as she shook her dear friend harder.
Scott lightly pulled her hands off of him before answering, "You know I'm no good at these kind of things Lisa."
"Then what are you doing talking to me? You need to go tell her right-"
"Can you tell her for me Lisa?" Scott cut her off, with an emotionless tone as he finally made eye contact with his high school friend.
"What?" Was all Lisa could mutter, shock clearly audible in her tone as she stared into Scott's eyes.
"You're her best friend."
"And you're her boyfriend Scott!"
Scott just put his hand on Lisa's shoulder before pleading, "Please… Lisa… I just can't do it, consider it a last request."
"Don't talk like we're never going to see each other again. Just, fine Scott, she's going to hate you forever though." Lisa answered with a somber smile, trying to lighten the otherwise dreary mood.
Scott smiled back before saying, "Thanks Lisa, you're a real lifesaver!"
"What are friends for?" The two then share a small laugh.
Later…
"Is everything okay honey? You've looked down ever since you've got back from hanging out with Scott?" A woman in her late thirties asked Lisa who was moping around before sticking her head in the fridge.
Lisa grabbed a soda and closed the fridge before answering her mother, "Yeah, I'm okay mom, it's just… Scott's leaving Northern Ontario tomorrow. And he wants me to tell Kim, I don't know how I'm going to do it, I don't know why he isn't doing it, I can't even believe he's really leaving."
Before Lisa ran out of breath her mom butted in by saying, "Lisa… calm down, you really get flustered to easily dear. Everything is going to work out just fine, trust me."
Lisa just let out a heavy sigh before responding, "I know mom, it's just all so sudden and it's not fair, I don't want him to leave."
"Life isn't fair Lisa, you've got to take the good with the bad in it. When you become an old woman like me you'll understand." Lisa's mother said with a chuckle.
"Whatever mom," Lisa said with a gigantic eye-roll before heading up to her bedroom.
Lisa rushed up the stairs and closed the door behind her, letting out a deep sigh she fell back first onto her bed. Rolling to her right she stared at the phone that was sitting on her nightstand and thought to herself. What have I gotten into? What am I going to say? Is she going to hate me? Why did I have to say yes to Scott? Why do I always say yes to Scott? Lisa then rolled onto her belly stuck her head into a pillow and let out a great moan before reaching for the phone and dialing Kim Pine's number.
"Hey Lisa, what's up?"
"It's Scott…"
"What about Scott?"
"Please don't hate me!"
"Lisa, tell me what's going on."
"Scott's moving to Toronto tomorrow."
"…"
"…"
"You're joking right?"
"I'm sorry Kim, it's not a joke, I'm sorry, I'm just sorry."
"Why would he tell you before me Lisa? Why would he not tell me…"
"I don't know, I'm sorry!"
"Don't talk to me Lisa." (CLICK)
"…"
"… Kim, you there?"
"Kim?"
"Lisa, what about Ramona?"
"Aren't you two having a fight?"
"Yeah…"
"Then it's fine then"
"Lisa, are you there? Did you hear me? Scott's dying Lisa," Kim's words could only faintly be heard in Lisa's ear.
"Your serious, aren't you Kim? So this is how you felt." Lisa said dazedly into her cell phone as confusion and shock was still plastered on her face.
Lisa heard a light sigh before hearing, "Lisa, are you going to be okay? You're not making any sense."
"I'll be fine, but Scott? What happened? How long does he have? Did you talk to him yet?" Lisa asked the barrage of questions to her longtime friend finally getting a little of her composure back.
"They still don't know what's killing him, but it's got him in bad shape they think he won't live to see the end of the week. I haven't talked to him yet, but Lisa you need to get down here as soon as possible. You are coming up here… right?" Kim answered sounding vary composed Lisa thought to herself.
"Of course I'm coming, I'll be on the next plane out of L.A." Lisa said as she got off the couch and started packing right then and there. Lisa then went on, "Well I need to get my things together, call you when I land in Toronto, bye."
"Alright, have a safe trip," Kim answered, this time worry in her voice.
And with that Lisa hung up the phone, and her bare apartment got emptier. Lisa, seemingly picked items at random out of her wardrobe as she walked around the apartment in a zombie-like state. A myriad of shirts, pant, sweaters, and skirts flew into a suitcase as if they were connected to zip-lines. When it was over Lisa had packed what looked like a year's worth of clothes into the tiny suitcase. Sitting back down on her couch Lisa noticed that the T.V was still on, and her ice-cream was still on the table at the foot of the couch. Lisa grabbed the pint and took a moderately sized spoonful before turning off the T.V with the remote. It took Lisa a moment to realize one thing, her ice-cream had no taste. Lisa's eyes filled with shock as she took bite after bite each just as tasteless as the last, until a unpleasant saltiness filled the back of her throat. Tears began flowing down Lisa's face as she dropped the spoon and ran towards her bedroom. Lisa put her face into a pillow and continued to weep until she fell asleep.
"You really wore that just for me?"
"Yeah, do you like it Scott?"
"…"
"I love it when you look at me that way…"
"Kim, Scott, did you know that tears taste different depending on how you get them? Like when you chop a onion or eat something spicy, they taste sweet. Or when you're angry or in pain they don't really have a taste. And the tears when you cry from being sad have a salty taste, they also say the sadder you are the saltier they taste." Lisa Miller told her friend's as they walked home from another long day at St. Joel's Catholic High School.
"And why on earth would we need to know that? Better question, why on earth do you know that?" Kim said in a dead pan tone as her right hand's fingers were intertwined with her boyfriend's. ( Kim Pine's Status: Annoyed, Uninterested, Bored, And Slightly Frisky)
"Yeah Lisa, why do you even know that?" asked Scott as he looked over in the blondes direction.
Lisa tossed her hair back before answering, "Haven't you guys been listening to me for the past week? It's for drama, Mr. Winner told me I have great potential if I could only do the sad emotional scenes. So I went to the library to look up a bunch of stuff about crying and stuff."
"Lisa you do realize we don't pay attention half the time you talk to us right?" Kim said in a matter a fact tone to her best friend, who didn't look to pleased to hear what she had to say.
"What did you just say Lisa?" Scott asked with a blank expression, clueless like always.
"Case in point," Kim laughed.
Lisa rolled her eyes and looked away before playfully pouting, "I hate both of you! Anyway, are you guys still coming over so we can game plan for the big party this weekend? Sonic And Knuckles needs to be in top form, don't you agree?"
Scott looked like he was finally paying attention for once when he answered, "That's right, Bryan Lee's Halloween Party Extravaganza is this weekend! Sonic And Knuckles is finally ready for the big time, it's going to be awesome!"
"Come on guys, you can't be serious? It's just Bryan Lee's Halloween Party Extravaganza it's not like it's Madison Square Garden or something. And Lisa, what are we going to game plan? Did you actually get good at singing or something?" Kim rattled off as she rained on the parade, just like she's always doing.
"Kim you don't even realize how big of a deal this party is going to be," Lisa defended.
"Yeah, Bryan's like the best artist in all of St. Joel! This party is going to bring this band to another level," Scott said as he nodded his head in agreement with Lisa.
"Whatever," was Kim's only response.
Lisa's Room Later That Day…
"NO! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I'M WEARING THAT! YOU MUST BE CRAZY LISA!" A familiar voice was yelling in the tiny room three teenagers where occupying.
"Kim, be reasonable. I mean, this isn't even that big of a difference between our school uniform. Besides, I'm band leader… and you have to do what I say!" Lisa stuck her tongue out at Kim after she said the last statement, this action didn't please the red head.
Kim then looked over to her boyfriend and demanded, "Tell her she's crazy!"
"Ugh?" (Scott Pilgrim's Status: In Awe!)
"Scott, Scott? You are going to agree with me… right?" Kim asked, well more like pleaded with her boyfriend.
"I think for the sake of artistic purposes you should wear the outfit," Scott muttered out robotically to his girlfriend.
Kim looked as though she was going to perform a fatality on her boyfriend before Lisa chimed in, "Calm down Kim, I mean I'm wearing one too. It's for the grand finale, the school is going to be talking about this for weeks!"
"And I'm going to be thinking about it for months!" Scott piped in as a line of drool rolled down the right side of his face.
Kim groaned before finally giving in by angrily mumbling, "fine."
Insert picture of Scott and Lisa doing a jumping high-five with an explosion behind them that makes out the word WINNING!
PARTY TIME!
"Alright, we go on in twenty, you guys ready for this? It's the big time, we pull this off and we are going to be as popular as that weird kid that ran through a cement wall head first." Lisa said wearing an all white overcoat as she put her hands on her band mate's shoulders.
"You mean the Hammer-Head? That kid totally awesome," Scott said in admiration as he did some air head-butts as he mouthed the word hammer. Which looked kind of creepy because he was wearing a black jacket with black pants.
Kim slapped Scott in the back of the head before berating him with, "Scott can you be serious for once? This is actually a big deal!"
"Relax Kim, I know all the songs we are playing by heart… I think?" Scott said with a sly yet calming smile.
Lisa smiled at her friend before telling her, "It's okay to be nervous, hell I'm a little nervous!"
"I'm not nervous!" Kim weakly defended. (I believe that as much as I believe someone telling me Voice4themute is writing a story that isn't set around Kim Pine… I mean what is that guy's problem *Rant Continues*… but your right I'm just jealous that I didn't come up with that Pin Name. Oh yeah, right, story and stuff)
Scott and Lisa just nodded in unison and gave an emphatic, "Riiight!"
A random guy then pokes his head into the room the band is in and informs them, "You guys go on in five."
The band nodded as the guy went back to the party. Lisa then exhaled deeply before looking deeply into the eyes of her fellow band-mates and pumping them up by saying, "It's time to show the cool kids what we are made of!" Lisa then put her fist out, seeing this Scott and Kim put theirs out as well as they all looked at each other with determination. This simple action seemed to be all the band needed to subside their nerves, so when they final heard the distant call for them to come out to the patio where they had set up all their equipment, they were primed and ready to go.
As the three high school students took the stage, well more like deck, but I digress. The first thing they saw was a crowd of about one hundred people, the biggest they had ever played for, all waiting to see Sonic And Knuckles play their hearts out. Scott was the first one to comment on it by saying, "Wow! I'd never imagined we play in-front of this many people! It's crazy!"
Lisa had a dumbfounded expression for a few seconds before Kim snapped her out of it but simply saying, "LET'S DO THIS!"
Lisa shook her head before snapping back into reality. The crowd didn't make a sound as the trio made their way to their instruments. Lisa then nodded to a guy standing by the stage light, it was more like three flashlights duck taped together but you get my point, he acknowledged her and turned it on. Lisa then got the masses excited by telling them, "You guys ready for the party to really start?" The crowd enthusiastically yells before she continues, "This a song about loving someone that you'll never going to have," Lisa slyly looks over at Scott who's face has a grin plastered on it. "But knowing that you'll always be together… in the Promised Land!"
"WE ARE SONIC AND KNUCKLES AND WE ARE HERE TO SING ABOUT LOVE AND VIDEO GAMES AND STUFF! ONE TWO THREE FOUR!" Kim yelled out before beginning the song.
Who would of thought it end before the start when we began to march ahead.
The slums seemed so beautiful (With you by my side)
My ocean of doubt subsided (By the strength of your tide)
I'll know I'll find it one day (With you as my guide)
So many words left unsaid, paths not tread, hands of red.
Riding on airships so high (In the Promised Land)
The healing wind blows right by (In the Promised Land)
The golden saucer is even better (In The Promised Land)
We'll always be together (In the Promised Land)
Time doesn't exists in our memories, pain is for a moment, love is forever.
Please don't cry I know you tried
Thanks to you I see it now (Far and wide)
Hold your head up (With pride)
It's okay to be afraid, wrong side of the blade, but feelings never fade
Riding on airships so high (In the Promised Land)
The healing wind blows right by (In the Promised Land)
The golden saucer is even better (In The Promised Land)
We'll always be together(In the Promised Land)
(Guitar Solo Goes Here)
Goodbye is just the start of hello (Promised Land)
Somewhere between the lifestream and the sky our dreams reside (Promised land)
We'll meet again there, In that Promised Land, We'll meet again there, In that Promised Land (Promised Land)
The Info box that popped up from the crowd said it all (Crowd's Mind=BLOWN!) The crowd then began to chant, 'S.N.K, S.N.K," in a thunderous roar. Lisa, Scott, and Kim smiled triumphantly at each other they knew that the crowd was now putty in their hands. The crowd were in awe by every song they played some of which were 'Bullet Bill Blues', 'Pitfalling For You', and the show stopping 'Chaos Emeralds'. With every song they played the crowd became more and more star-struck. Lisa then looked over to the others with a look that screamed it's time to bust out the big guns.
"Alright guys, are you ready for the grand finale?" Lisa seductively called out to the roaring crowd, that somehow got louder after her statement. And with that the finale began, first Scott did some freaky hand signals to some guy by the flashlights; excuse me I mean spot lights. The crowd was on the edge of its seat as darkness enveloped the stage. Then pyrotechnics started going off, and I use that term extremely loosely unless you call five fireworks that Scott stole out of his parent's basement you're idea of pyrotechnics that is. Then flares lit up the stage, where Sonic And Knuckles got their hand on ten flares is still a mystery. The crowd was really losing their preverbal shit, but not at all the awesome that just transpired but by what the band's wardrobe had changed to.
Lisa Miller: Had changed in to A revealing blue mini skirt; baby blue boots; A school girl uniform with A pair of baby blue ribbons in the front and back; A golden forehead protector with a blue (fake) diamond in the center. But without a doubt the best part of her outfit was the blue pixie haircut wig she was wearing. (Status: Sailor Mercury!)
Kim Pine: Was the green counterpart to Lisa, the only difference was that her ribbons were pink and she just simply put her hair into a ponytail. (Status: Sailor Jupiter!)
Scott Pilgrim: Took off his black jacket to reveal a tuxedo T-shirt he also had a white mask that covered only the eye area of his face, he coolest part of the wardrobe though was the bitchin top hat he was wearing. (Status: Tuxedo Mask!)
(Band Status: 90's AS FUCK!) (Yeah, I dropped the 'F' bomb in Voice4TheMute's story, he can just DEAL WITH IT!)
(V4tM: whoa whoa…hope I don't get reported for this '' rated T! Rated T!)
"Fighting evil by the moonlight," Lisa started singing, completing the whole sailor moon theme they had going by singing the theme song for it. Boys and girls were swooning and drooling from Lisa's and Kim's sailor scout uniforms. The same could be said for Scott and his Tuxedo mask ensemble, it was the beginning of the golden year for Sonic And Knuckles. Not to mention the second greatest day in Lisa Miller's life.
"You're so warm Lisa."
"*ruffling* Thanks Scott."
"But are you sure-" Smacking of lips interrupt the statement.
"Welcome to Toronto everyone, I hope you had a pleasant flight." A blonde flight attendant could be heard over the intercom. Lisa let out a groan as she began stretching her arms up in the air to try and recover from the long flight she had just endured. Lethargically she retrieved her suitcase and made her way off of the airplane. Cold Canadian air was the first thing to great her on her arrival to the country. I forgot how cold it is over here, Lisa thought to herself as she made her way around the airport terminal.
It seemed Lisa was moving at super speeds as she bobbed and weaved through the crowded terminal. She made it to the exit, where an unfortunate surprise was waiting for her, the taxi she had called in advance for was not waiting for her. "Can this get any worse?" Lisa mumbled to herself as she went back into the airport, she would soon find out. Lisa angrily sat down on a seat as dread filled her face when she heard what was coming from the speakers around the airport.
"Think of me when you're out
When you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well it's a shame I'm a dream"
"No, God, No! Not this damn song by Paramore," Lisa began pleading with herself.
"All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you"
"This can't be happening, this is just a bad dream, this whole thing is just a bad dream… right?" Lisa continued with her pleading, not wanting to except the truth of the matter.
"I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
Wake up early, the black and white re-runs
That escape from my mouth"
"Please, just stop," Lisa called out in agony.
"All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you"
"No, it's not true…" Lisa quietly said to herself as her eyes began to puff up.
"I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
Maybe then we'd remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts"
"No," was all Lisa could muster as she was waging a battle within herself trying to hold back tears.
"All I wanted was you"
"No,"
"All I wanted was you"
"No, no, no"
"All I wanted was you"
"Yes,"
"This is everything I've ever wanted," a voice seductively whispers.
"What?"
"You Scott."
"Lisa, do you mind if I ask you something?" Scott Pilgrim ran up to Lisa Miller as the two walked home from school.
"Go right ahead Scott," Lisa simply answered with a smile.
"Well, you know how it's me and Kim's one year anniversary in a couple of days," Lisa didn't say a word but her face reeked of surprise. Seeing this Scott then continued by saying, "What? I can remember important stuff too!"
"I never said you couldn't," Lisa defended as she waved both her hands in front of her face.
Scott just grinned and said, "It's not what you say it's how you look!"
Lisa let out a giggle before informing him, "I'm pretty sure that's not how that saying goes."
"Anyway, I need you to tell me what you think of this gift," Scott said, trying to get back on the subject at hand.
"Alright, let's see it then," Lisa said, though she was still taken aback by the whole event. This event only got stranger when Scott pulled out a ring case, "Please, please, please tell me you aren't proposing!" Lisa stuttered out in disbelief.
"Of course I'm not!" Scott simply replied as he went on to say, "Just open it."
Lisa then took the ring box from him and opened it, seeing what was inside made Lisa's face ooze of confusion. Lisa then looked up to face Scott and asked, "Wonder twin rings?"
"Yeah, I'm surprised you knew right away. I was going to give her one and keep the other one," Scott said to Lisa a look of both surprise and nervousness.
"Where did you even get these things?" Lisa asked still confused as ever, as she reexamined the plastic rings.
They had a contest in Fruit Brute they randomly put two rings in like every three-hundred thousand boxes, and I got'em!" Scott said, by his tone you could tell he was proud of himself.
"Wait, Fruit Brute? Hasn't that cereal been discontinued for like ten years? And how many boxes did you have to go through?" Lisa asked, this gift becoming more and more interesting by the second.
"Well, by brother knew a guys parents who owns an old store, and I had to eat like three-hundred boxes of the stuff till I finally found them." Scott said, excitement in his voice as he felt he was starting to win his friend over with the gift idea.
Lisa just stared at Scott before saying, "You actually ate three-hundred boxes of ten year old cereal?"
"How else was I supposed to get the rings?" Scott asked dumbfounded.
"You could have just looked at the bottom of the box," Lisa informed her friend. After saying this statement the two friends shared an awkward silence between each other before Lisa asked, "So what do the rings mean?"
"Well, the Wonder Twins are the only superhero team who's powers don't work without each other. So it's like saying, when we are alone we are just normal humans, but when we are together we're so much more. We're HEROES!" Scott explained to Lisa who was listening rather intently.
"I'm sure she'll absolutely love it Scott," Lisa somberly grinned at her friend as the two walked home together.
"This is nice, this feels nice, you're nice."
"Scott."
"What is it Lisa?"
"I love you."
Lisa rushed through the hospital entranceway as her eyes darted around she saw a familiar face waiting for her, "Lisa, here this way." Kim Pine ushered her worried friend towards where the others have been waiting.
"Thanks Kim," Lisa replied as she headed towards where Kim was standing.
"Don't mention it, I'm just glad you can make it," Kim told her dear friend as they shared an embrace. After the two girls separated from their embrace, Kim, went on to say, "Scott's room is right over there when you're ready."
"Just give me a second," Lisa said trying to compose herself as the gravity and reality of the situation was finally hitting home.
"Take all the time that you need," Kim replied as she walked into the waiting room where everyone else was at with Lisa by her side. Lisa exchanged somber pleasantries with Scott's other good friends. After about five minutes Lisa informed them she was off to visit Scott, she then began the long unpleasant walk to his room.
Step, Step, Step, Step, the words seemed to protrude out of the blonde's shoes as she preformed the action. The noise her feet were making sent Goosebumps up Lisa's back every time she took one. The walk seemed to drag on for eternity until finally she reached the door. She opened it without hesitation, beeping noises broke the silence of the hallway she had just came from, even they felt sinister in intent. Her face panned over to see her longtime friend hooked to a bunch of wires and tubes. "Scott, it's me… Lisa," was all the blonde could bring herself to say seeing him in this state.
"Lisa, I can't believe it's you! It's been so long," Scott excitedly, but weakly, said as he attempted to sit up.
"Scott don't push yourself," Lisa said as she rushed over and sat down on a chair that was at his bedside motioning her hand down to try and stop Scott from sitting up. "I'm sorry, I haven't been to Canada to come and visit in forever. I'm sorry about a lot of things," Lisa looked away from Scott as she delivered the last sentence in that statement.
Scott just grinned and said, "Don't apologize Lisa, you have nothing to feel sorry about."
An awkward silence follows Scott's last statement, it lasts for roughly ten minutes before Lisa breaks it by yelling, "Stop it Scott, just stop it!"
"Stop what Lisa?" Scott asked confused at Lisa how was literally shaking after she yelled at him.
"Stop making me love you," Lisa dejected and defeated said as tears poured down her face. "It hurts too much Scott, Kim… Ramona… just stop it… please."
"Lisa bu-"
Lisa cut him off before he could utter another word though as she sobbed and exasperatingly told Scott, "Just stop talking, I know I'm selfish. I've always been so selfish, you're here dying and all I can think about is me. You leaving me, you hurting me, you loving me. I'm sorry Scott, I'm just so sorry. How can I expect you to love me, how can I even expect you to even call me a friend from the way I've acted? I let you not tell Kim you were moving so I could make you spend your last day with me! I'm the one who made you cheat on Ramona! I'm the one who can't be content with just being friends… I'm the one who's a horrible person. After that night I ran away in vein, I thought if I left the country I could forget what I did, forget about you, forget about… us. But I found out that trying to get about you is like trying to forget about the warmth of the sun. Why Scott? Why did you tell me you loved me? Why would you love someone like me? Someone who doesn't deserve it, someone who only cares about themselves. Why did you have to return my affection?"
Scott just stared blankly at the sobbing Lisa for a few moments before Scott told Lisa, "Lisa, stop saying those things you know are not true! You're the greatest friend I ever had, I want to thank you Lisa."
"No Scott, don't say that, don't say things you don't mean," Lisa called out trying to stop him.
"You're the cause off all my happiness Lisa, without you I never would have started playing music, I never would have met Kim, I never would have met anyone I know now. It's all thanks to you Lisa, you made all this happen meeting you in that principals' office made me the man I am today. I can never repay you for that Lisa." Scott said in a somber and painful tone.
"Scott," Lisa said smiling, though tears were still rolling down her face.
"We're like the Wonder Twins Lisa! Together we're superheroes, nothing can stop us," Scott said as he sat up and looked into Lisa's eyes. All Lisa could do as a response is shed even more tears. Scott then turned away from Lisa as he told her, "I meant it Lisa."
Lisa then asked with a smile, "Which part?"
"I meant it when I said I loved you that night," Scott said still not looking Lisa in her bloodshot eyes.
"Sco-"
"But why did you lie to me Lisa? Why did you tell me nothing happened?" Scott said as he finally looked her in the eyes, that still looked beautiful filled with tears.
"When I finally kissed you Scott it was the happiest moment in my life, nothing mattered anymore, the past, the future, all my mistakes, all my failures. The only thing that mattered was that moment, that incredible moment of bliss. But after it was over all I felt was unbearable sadness. I knew somewhere deep down I'd never feel this feeling again. It was the most depressing feeling in the world, I thought to myself that if we never parted lips it would last forever; but the need to breath separated them. I thought if the world stopped turning I could stay there; but the sun still rose. After finally finding it, after finally finding the Promised Land it was going to be gone in the morning. I was completely devastated and yet euphoric at the same time, it was the most peaceful moment in all of my existence. I lied to you Scott because I knew you cared about her, you just needed a little push! And I wasn't worth your affection Scott, not in this lifetime anyway, maybe in some other time some other place we're together. " Lisa said as the tears stopped flowing (kinda), she had finally told him, finally told him how she really felt all this time.
"Lisa, I-"
Lisa put her finger on his mouth as she told him, "It's time for me to go Scott." She then got up and slowly walked to the door before Scott called out to her she turned around to see Scott still sitting up.
"We'll always be together in the Promised Land, goodbye is just the start of hello. We'll meet again, in the Promised Land." Scott weakly sang out to Lisa who started to cry again before running out of the room. Lisa continued to run she ran passed Kim, she ran past the nurses, she ran all the way to the airport. She couldn't stay there, here, anywhere, right now… not after she knew what the Promised Land felt like.
"I can't believe he's dying! We've known each other forever it seems like, I don't know if I can face him after all that I've done; all the mistakes, all the heartbreak, all the deception. Will he even want to see my face?"
"There is only one way to find out," A male figure forebodingly said as he pointed at a hospital door.
A gulp was loud enough to be heard as a blonde female walked slowly to the door. Opening it ever so slowly she somberly asked, "Hello, do you remember me old buddy?"
"How can I forget?"
The two exchange awkward smiles as… "CUT, CUT, CUT! HOLY CRAP! Now that is how you act Lisa, I mean a few days and you're a totally different actress!"
"Then why did you say cut in the middle of the scene?" Lisa asked after getting showered with praises.
"Because you have to take off that Wonder Twin ring…" Egor simply responded.
A/N Well, that concludes my chapter for Voice4TheMute's story. I hope you enjoyed it. In case you are wondering I made the song that Sonic and Knuckles sing at the party. Well, I hope I did my favorite character justice. And Voice4TheMute I have to personally thank you for putting up with all my shit. This guy is like a champion, he doesn't get mad when I keep changing the day I give him the chapter and isn't afraid of anything! So thank you so much for letting me write the two guest chapters for you it was a real honor!

V4tM: Wonderful job TrixieStixs, knew you were the man to go to for an awesome (and very long) Lisa Miller chapter. I've very impressed on what you did with the character as well as the background story you gave to give her a more predominate role in Scott's life. Also…you know, the whole cheating thing… (which is something I'm seeing people write about now…I really hope this doesn't turn into a rumor that goes all the way to BLOM). Loved the song, loved the symbolism with the Wonder Twins, love the chapter.
Please review! But don't thank me, thank TrixieStixs, this chapter is completely his so no credit goes to me.
Also…felt like I need to reiterate this after my second reading, This is a work of fiction, any similarity or likeness to any events or persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Just because there are some names that LOOK familiar doesn't mean that they were based on them…seriously. ''
Until Next Time…!
