Ok I have nothing to put in the A/N bold thingy up here. But I love it so much, I just had to put this hah. Also in Avery's speech I meant to put tagether. Tuh-gether. Not to but ta. It has a point... I think. Also when ever I use a song you should really youtube it. I mean otherwise you won't understand the emotions that it is sung with, I don't use shit songs like rap and pop. I use ones that means something.
Something had gone wrong seven days into the mission that Snakes and the rest of Alpha Team went on. It was impossible to know what was going on for the communicator devices stopped. And Avery could only assume the worst. Right now she was working on her third lap around the base. Her weights had been upped and needed to be upped again. Her legs were at twenty five, they had gone up so fast for her back talking to Covergirl. Her arms were equal because she complained that it was odd for the two to be different weight, hoping to get her leg's brought down, only to be disappointed as she got an extra five pounds put on her arms. Completing the third lap she went to where Covergirl was.
She was still trying to comfort Cybergirl. Finally Avery couldn't take it anymore. "Oi, woman." Avery had gotten into the odd behavior of using random words and random accents. "Ya best get it tagether. I know you love Breaker but he likes ya to so he will be back. And if isn't do you really think he would want ya to mope around here? No. Stop being bitchy and get back ta normal. I miss the Cybergril I met and became friends with." That only made Cyber cry harder.
"Get over here." Covergirl was quite pissed. Avery expected another five pounds but was unhappily surprised with ten. "Five more laps. And if we are still in here after that, well go work out. Thirty not ten or twenty got it? Thirty."
Not wanting to get in more trouble Avery answered with a "Yes mam." As soon as the younsest of the trio stepped outside the door she put her head phones on. The sone playing was a sad one. It was accurately titled Passage By Vienna Teng. It was sang in fist person- like I, my, we, etc.- and Avery assumed the woman that died was in her early twenties of so. It starts two days after she died. Avery knew this song word for word, emotion for emotion, and knew that if Snakes and Breaker didn't come back this is what they would be saying. But she didn't dwell on that, instead she sang along as she ran. "I died in a car crash two days ago; Was unrecognizable; When they pulled me from the gears; No one's fault, no one's bottle; No one's teenage pride of throttle; Our innocence is all the worse for fears; The other walked away alive; Arms wrapped now around, around his wife." Over the week Avery had pushed herself to get better, she hadn't realized it yet but she has indeed done just that. What she did realize was that listening and singing took her mind off of any pain or work she did.
She was able to loose herself in her music. Right now she barely even felt the tug on her legs or arms. The little pouch of fat she had, had on her stomach burned off real fast with the addition of a little weight around her waist. Cover didn't make it heavier so it has stayed at ten pounds but it worked like a charm. And the lax muscle around her arms, the biceps really, toughened and refined itself into a true muscle able to lifts it's own weight. Avery never knew how muscle really composed the thighs and calfs until they had formed and complained at her work out. Avery was still mumbling the song as she ran. "My lover sits, the silent eye; In a hurricane of warmth and word; My mother trembles with the sobs; Whose absence seems absurd; My sister shouts to let her see; Through the cloud of crowd surrounding me; My colleagues call for silence in my name." Avery was nearly a quarter of the way through lap one. "I died in a car crash three months ago; They burned me until I glowed
And crumbled to a fine gray sand; Now I am nothing, everywhere; Several breaths of strangers' air
And all thoughts ever written in my hand; They plant my tree out in the yard; It grows but takes the winter hard." Her lungs could use more air to it's full potential from using so much singing and running at the same time.
"My lover holds a knife to wrist; Says tomorrow comes, hold on a while; My mother tosses in the sheets; And dreams me holding my own child; My sister plays our homemade tapes; Laughs as tears run down her face; My office door now wears a different name. I died in a car crash four years ago; My tree drinks melted snow; Just eight feet tall a pale and fragile thing; Bee stings beaches bright vacations; Sunburnt high-school graduations; A sparrow healing from a broken wing; This year a glimpse of second chances; Tiny apples on my tree's branches." When Avery had been younger she had loved this song because it showed that the word did care for someone. That some mothers loved their daughters, that not all boyfriends used the girls, and that sisters do remember. Avery didn't complain about the way she was raised, or that her sister had died. She did miss the tiny babe. Only one year, not even, and she caught pneumonia. Only being five Avery hadn't understood what was going on. But she did know that her sister was 'with the angels' as her mother had told her.
They had planted a tree for the un-named child. Her mother believed in naming her children around two or three years. By then the child would have a personality and a name that would fit. It wouldn't be like naming a depressed child Hope. So the on the grave stone a name was put. They put Avery's middle name because Avery had really loved the tiny girl. So in the ground right next to Avery's mother's mother laid Spartin Godfrey. "My lover hears the open wind; And crawls blinking into the sun; My mother leafs through photographs; And thinks "yes she was a lovely one"; My sister can't decide her truth; Asks aloud what I might do; In a conference hall my brief efforts engraved. I died in a car crash; A lifetime ago it seems; Been a decade or two or three; They've just release a new design; Bars and bags front and behind; My fate now an impossibility; Safely packaged hurtling down; The highway hardly make a sound."
Avery was near to tears as she realized just how much Snakes meant to her. And she knew that if something had happened to him, ever. If they became more than friend or not. He would want her tho listen and do as the last two lines of the son suggested. "My lover very much alive; Arms wrapped now around his wife." Well nnot get a wife but continue to live for him and love for him. Have a life and continue with her hopes and dreams, but to never forget him.
If they became more than friends she would let him know just what she would do if he died.
