Disclaimer: Don't own so weird, no characters, just Constance (Connie), the plot, and the song "Angel In the Sky" that the duet sings [which I wrote myself =o)].
WWLO: Fi talked to Gabe/ Jack saw Gabe… read on and find out
"No, no… remember C note on 'angels' to give the drama effect. Let's start again." Carey and Constance were in the back of the bus preparing for their song dedicated to Gabe. They were writing lyrics together in college and dug up a song that, although it was a love song for their previous one-month anniversary, they were going to sing together at Gabe's reception. The words were still perfect for letting someone go. As Carey strummed his guitar Constance sang along to the sweet melody. "Connie, make sure you articulate your words." It annoyed her that Carey would pick at her like that, but she just followed on with his instructions. *God, she's beautiful* Carey thought to himself watching his girlfriend sway back and forth to the rhythm, her eyes closed. Carey was hypnotized by her voice, almost like Callie's.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*MEANWHILE IN FI/ANNIE'S ROOM*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Her voice rocks Clu… I think we should get her on tour with us!" Fi joked as they listened to Carey and Constance behind the door. Clu held Fi in his arms next to the door almost falling asleep.
"Sure, she can sleep in the guys room… Annie could move in there too… and I think I'll get that bed right there." He pointed to Annie's bed while Fi playfully hit him. He held her close and tight, bringing up a conversation they had earlier. "So what happened with Gabe at the church? She came back to life or something?"
"No sweetie, her spirit… that'd be too freaky if it was her herself… body and all." She shuddered at the thought of it. "I feel so bad… I don't know if she even got to say good-bye to Jack. I wonder how he's doing."
"He's in his room, everyone's leaving him alone for now… what I want to know is how is Annie and Jack doing." Clu looked down at Fi awaiting a response.
"That's the thing… I think they'll be okay later on… but what if they don't, you know? Gabe said they needed to be together, and she wanted me to help patch things up. How am I supposed to do that?!" Fi was now panicking as the problem arose in her mind. "I cant just abra cadabra, hocus pocus, poof, and they're okay… we need a plan." The two teens sat on the floor contemplating on what to do until the bus stopped in front of the Crawford house.
Everyone slowly stepped out of the bus, making their way into the home of mourning people. The crew started to set up some amps and their instruments in the back yard. As everything was arranged Molly picked up her guitar and started strumming, playing "Like a River." A crowd formed around her, making a semi-circle swaying to the music.
Jack walked around the yard as he listened to his mother sing. Annie soon came into view as they both locked eyes. Jack hesitated before making his way to her but the crowd grew dense between them… soon Annie had disappeared in the large swarm. *Dammit* He hesitated too long, he thought as the guilt started to rise up to his cheeks. When he found out about Gabe, it was like he was slapped in the face… but when he realized that this event might have damaged his relationship with Annie… it was like torture. All this time when he was in his room supposedly thinking about Gabe… it all disappeared when he finally saw her again at the church… he thought about Annie, and about how he treated her so coldly. *Now what am I going to do?* His thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Crawford's voice.
"Jack, could you run out to the store to get more ice? I'm sorry but we've run out so soon." His face was pleading for this favor to be done, but Jack knew he promised his mom he'd stay with her throughout the reception. Luckily Carey was right behind them.
"Ummm, Mr. Crawford, I'd be more than willing to go run out and get ice. Jack promised his mother he'd stay here with her so if you'd like I could go do it."
"I'll come too." Constance's face was a little pale, and it seemed like she was uncomfortable hanging around people so miserable. She needed to get out. "We'll be back in no time." She plastered a reassuring smile on her face as they headed out.
"Well they better hurry… Molly said she'd sing 3 more songs and then she'd give the mike over to those two." Seth gave a final grin and walked away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*20 MINUTES LATER-CAREY/CONSTANCE*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Connie… where's the change?" Carey was looking around the truck he borrowed from Seth, trying to find the extra change he received at the store. They both searched on the ground, stupid though considering Carey was driving. "Check the dashboard Con." As Constance looked up she screamed for Carey to get his eyes on the road.
"Carey!! Watch out!" They both saw a man in black standing in the middle of the road. Carey swerved our of the man's way, trying his best to dodge him and toppled in a nearby ditch. "Carey… Carey are you okay?" Constance was the first to regain consciousness as she shook her boyfriend in the seat next to her. She could see a trickle of blood on his forehead. "Carey?"
"Ugh!" Carey moaned in pain as he reached over to massage his aching head. "Ouch!" he noticed the wound on his head and refrained from touching it again. "Oh crap! The man!" He rushed out of the truck to find nothing in site on the road… absolutely nothing. Constance rushed after him to find the same thing. "Weird…" they both said simultaneously, the word echoing in their heads. Constance went to go check the road as Carey went to check the truck. "CRAP! CONNIE! We've gotta flat!" he ran over to the back of the truck to see if there was a spare, but of coarse, there wasn't.
"Dammit Carey! Now we're never gunna make it in time for the song!" Constance started looking all over to find a spare tire, she even checked underneath the car. "Damn" she whispered to herself realizing they were stuck in the middle of nowhere.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*BACK AT THE RECEPTION*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jack looked at his watch annoyed at the fact that Carey and Constance hadn't showed up yet. *Where are they?* he thought to himself picturing them burst through the door with 5 pounds of ice and a logical explanation why they were late.
"Jack where are they?!" Molly was panicking as she came from the patio of where she was playing. "I told them I was on a 5 minute break and I was gunna get more entertainment… apparently the entertainment's not here! WHERE ARE THEY?"
"I-I don't know mom… they went to get ice, that's all I can say." Jack was speechless, he didn't know what to do.
"Well we better have them up there by 2 minutes or else Seth won't be too happy. We promised him a song dedicated to Gabe!" Molly was a little too loud so Annie overheard a few feet away from her. She ran to the bus, grabbed Carey's guitar and the sheet music lying on the floor. She quickly ran back to the backyard patio and snatched the mike.
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen… this song is dedicated to who we're all here for… Gabe Crawford." Annie spoke to the crowd as if they were any normal crowd at any normal show.
Molly's head totally did a 180 over to Annie's direction, which stopped her from babbling on about how Seth would get angry and how no one was there to sing. *Thank you Annie!* she thought to herself with a smile. "Saved." She slightly whispered.
Annie: Life's like a Fairytale… always dim and dark-
Until one of life's angels sweeps you off your feet
You never know, oh---- you never know
How or when… when will they come?
Annie: Chorus: I'll plead with the angels to give back your wings
If you--- If you just stayed the night,
Please don't go… Please---- don't go
She listened to Annie sing the sweet melody then grimly realized that it was a duet… Annie had no guy to sing with her. She barely shrugged it off as she fell into a trance by her voice.
Annie: Please----
Annie's voice lingered in the air as she realized this would be the time when Carey would come in. *Damn… I forgot about that* her thoughts were interrupted by a voice echoing in the speakers.
Jack: Don't go--- Oh I wont go
I'll stay by your side… forever---
Jack was now next to Annie… serenading her, saving her with his sweet voice as he went on.
Jack: Even though, I am gone
I will… ohhh I will---
Be here….. oh right next to you--
Annie: I wanna be next to you
The two sounded beautiful together, as they sang to each other. They're eyes gazing into one another, you could tell the flame, the passion, was there once more.
Annie: Chorus while Jack sings his own~
Jack: I'll plead with the angels- to let me stay
I'll pray to the Lo-rd to let me stay-
I will stay… I will stay---
Annie: Please---- Don't--- Go---
Jack: I---- Wont--- Go----
Annie and Jack stood there in silence, staring at each other. The sounds of the clapping, whistling, bustling crowd meshed together with the lights and the aura that surrounded them… all there was… was them.
"Annie, I'm so sorry…" Jack tried to plead but was soon hushed by Annie's finger on his lips.
"I love you Jack, no worries."
"No worries…" he echoed back.
