Twice the Memories ~~ 2

Shelby stared blankly at the image from her past. All she could feel was movement and she could hear nothing but voices, movement, yelling, hugging, voices, voices.
Awaken from a deep dark silence she was shocked by the same brown eyes staring at her, the same brown eyes that she found comfort in, the same brown eyes that held her past.
Shelby: Seth! What are you doing here, how are you…
Seth: I should ask you the same question but I think I already know.
Shelby felt an awkward silence and looked at Scott.
Scott: how do you him?
Shelby: let me start from the beginning…..It all started when I first ran away, he was the local jock but he had had a crush on me since 10th grade. He was the football captain, and all around good guy. When I first started running away he was a friend, he let me stay at his house, he gave me money, he held me, he was my shelter, my everything.
She could see the hurt and anger in Scotts eyes, but all she cared about At the moment was her everything, and that scared her. How could she be so understanding, how could she be so heartless to show the one she loved, that there was another part of her noone knew. A part of her, only Seth knew. She wanted to run up to Scott and hug him, but by the time she turned around there he was, saturated in his own tears, the man she loved, was broken. He ran and ran, and he found himself in his dorm. He didn't notice but shelby was by the door inside and she was going to approach him when he picked up his guitar and started to play, than he sang:

This Romeo is bleeding, but you cant see his blood;
Its nothing but some feelings this old dog kicked up;
Its been raining since you left me, now I'm drowning in the flood
You know I used to be a fighter, but without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song like the way it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore, but baby that's just me

And I will love you baby always
And ill be there forever and a day, always

Ill be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme,
And when I die you'll be on my mind and ill love you till the end of time

All the pictures that you left behind, are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry, one that made you have to say good-bye
What id give to run my fingers through your hair, touch your lips, hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand, I've made mistakes I'm just a man
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
Ill wish I was him, cause those words are mine, to say to you till the end of time.

Yeah, I will love you baby, always
And ill be there forever and a day, always

If you told me to cry for you I would
If you told me to die for you I would
Take a look at my face, theres no price I wont pay
To say these words to you

Well there ain't no, luck in these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you baby, always
And ill be there forever and a day, always
Ill be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And when I die you'll be on my mind
And ill love you, always

Shelby had tears streaming down her beautiful face, and for one brief moment they forgot about everything in life and pulled in for one last kiss.
