It's just those rainy days
Spend a lifetime tryin to wash away
Until the sun come out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me
****************
If they spoke, they lowered their voice around her. Carter turned
his back to her. Like he'd never told her he was in love with her.
Each day took time. Took strength to get up, and out of bed in
the morning.
She'd gone through all his belongings, finally seeing everything
she'd never known about him.
Their relationship was so complicated. It took so much to be away
from each other. If they weren't together, they were whole different
people.
Abby shrugged her coat off, laying it over the chair she pulled
beside her in the lounge.
"Abby?"
She turned slowly, already clinching her fists at her side.
"I didn't think you'd be back at work so soon" Gallant finished,
shifting his akward glance away, looking at the floor sadly.
"Had to keep busy" she answered.No one wanting to talk to her,
left her all sorts of time to think,dissect all the things she'd
done wrong before, with him.
He hadn't put her name on the letter, but she knew he'd written
it for her. It was something she just felt all down her veins.
Gallant nodded, closing his locker."I'm sorry. I mean, I know
Dr.Kovac was a good guy. He seemed to really like you"
Tears sprung to her eyes,making Abby duck into her locker.
"I didn't mean to say anything,I'm so sorry" he stood behind her
his voice soft and slightly quiet. He looked anxious, and uncomfortable.
"I thought maybe it's what you wanted to hear"
*************
We were always livin so crazy and sexy and cool
And we began to love it (began to love it)
Watchin all of the heartache and pain of the world
And thinkin nothin of it (thinkin nothin of it)
And baby I got love for you
And I know that you got me, baby
But everytime the sun shines bright
It gets so cloudy
***************
Kerry brushed past them, raising a confused eyebrow.
Out of the corner of her eye, Abby spotted the box, her heart
leaping in her chest."Are you going to empty his locker?"
Kerry nodded."You look like you need some rest. Why don't you
take the rest of the day off?"
Gallant turned away, ignoring Abby's eyes, turning away
from the woman's wild hair, the dark circles under her
eyes.
"Let me" Abby took the box from her boss'es hands.
Kerry nodded, signaling Gallant to follow him.
She slid the name off the door. It seemed quickest to just throw
everything into the box, trying to keep from crying.
But he'd stuck a picture into the side of the door. Something
he'd use to make himself smile, no matter how much it pulled
at his heart, because he had lost her.
She remebered. The picture fell into her hand. Abby closed her
eyes.
"You're smiling"
"So?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen you smile. I forgot how
beautiful you are"
He'd kept a picture of her he'd taken after they'd spent a day
together. Where everything he said made her smile. The day he'd
bought her everything she pointed at.
Abby dropped the box to the floor, sinking down to her knees. The first
laugh stung. The second laugh made her heart leap. She cried between
her laughed.
But in her hands, she was smiling.
**********
I feel like an angel
With my broken wings
So I can soar again
Lord let me in
Baby through all the passion the pain and the hurt
I feel like I'm fallin, yeah
Spend a lifetime tryin to wash away
Until the sun come out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me
