Another short one, sorry.
" Fi? Baby can I talk to you?" Molly asked, looking at her daughter.
" Sure mom." Fi barely looked away from the mirror, placing her earrings in her ear, and then began applying her makeup. Molly smiled to herself- her daughter had changed. Fi used to barely acknowledge her if she was on the computer, but now, the computer had been replaced with makeup and boys. " Mom?" Fi's voice broke her mother out of her small reverie, Fiona giggling a little.
" Sorry sweetie... I was just thinking about how much you've grown..." Molly smiled when her daughter rolled her eyes, pretending to gag. No, her daughter hadn't changed completely, just a little. " Sweetie, I was scared today." She confessed, looking at her daughter. Fi stopped applying her makeup and turned to her mother, her eyes wide.
" You-"
" Yes sweetie. I haven't felt the way I felt today since the night your father died Fi... The feeling of something in my stomach, stabbing it, almost eating it away with anticipation. You kids scared us good today... that stalker... he could have... he could have killed you baby." Molly choked out, her tears streaming down her cheeks. Fi bit her lip, trying to keep her own tears from falling. " I don't like having you so far away baby... I haven't seen you in so long, and to have to come to see my daughter and find out she was being stalked... I didn't like that feeling honey." Fi nodded silently, staring at her mother. " I want you to come back with us on tour." She finished. Fi opened her mouth in protest but Molly held her hand up. " I know that you want to let Annie have her fun, but your my daughter. I need my children by my side, and if that means going back to Hope Springs and hanging up my guitar, then so be it. But I want you with ME Fiona, not in Seattle."
I dont need alot of things, I can get by with nothing.
But all the blessings life can give, I've always needed something.
*-*-*-*
" Mom." Fi choked out, unable to control her tears anymore. They began to fall freely as she stood, hugging her mother. " I wanted to come home the first month I was here... but I thought I'd just get in the way... you and Annie..." Her voice trailed off, as the teen cast her eyes to the floor.
" Annie and I what Fi?" Molly asked softly, looking at her daughter.
" I thought that you didn't want me anymore mom." Fi said softly. " You two share the same passion for music... and me... I always seem to get in the way when I try to help... I guess I figured if I stayed in Seattle, I'd be somewhere where being average is normal."
" Fi... baby Annie could never replace you." Molly said, smiling. " You're my daughter, and neither Annie, Kat, Clu or Carey could ever take that place honey." Molly hugged her daughter once again, kissing her on the forehead. " I want you to consider, just consider, going back on the road with us. If Annie's career blows up in the U.S. as big as her parents are saying it is in Europe, then she'll be able to have her own tour bus baby, and I'd have an extra spot on my bus. And I don't want to be stuck with the three guys."
" I thought you'd never ask." Fi smiled, brushing the stray tears from her eyes.
" Ok... I'm going to go make sure everything's in order..." Molly grinned, and walked out of the room, blowing her daughter a kiss. Fi laughed and followed her mother to the door, going to the elevator. She pressed the first floor button, where her party was being held. When she got downstairs, she bumped into Carey, Kat and Clu, who were all grinning.
But I've got all I want when it comes to loving you.
You're my only reason, you're my only truth.
*-*-*-*
" Hey." Kat grinned as the four walked into the banquet hall where the dance was being held.
" Hey... how's your neck?" Fi asked, looking at her friend.
" Oh its ok..."
" Did Irene look at it?" Fi asked, and Clu grinned.
" We just told her it was a hickey... it got the two of us in some trouble but I guess it's better they didn't know who Peter and Brent really were... eh?" Carey grinned.
" Yeah." Fi laughed, standing up. " Do I look ok?"
*-*-*-*
I need you like water, like breath, like rain.
I need you like mercy from heaven's gate.
*-*-*-*
" You look like a princess Fi." Clu grinned as his friend turned around, showing off her long green dress. Kat nudged Carey, and took his hand, beginning to drag him away from the two.
" How about we go dance?" Carey grinned, following Kat's lead. " Come on you two, dont be shy." He added, pushing Fiona towards Clu. Fiona rolled her eyes and moved closer, looking up at Clu. " Are you ok?"
" Ok? Yeah... I'm fine. How about you?" Clu asked quietly, leading the way around the other couples.
" Me?"
" You're the one that had the nightmares... and well, you almost got killed today..."
" Clu, Brent bit YOU, not me." Fi smiled a little, looking at her friend. Clu sighed, nodding.
*-*-*-*
Theres a freedom in your arms.
Carries me through, I need you.
*-*-*-*
" I'm glad he didn't bite you... I don't think I could forgive myself if he did... I let you go in there alone-"
" I was with Kat."
" I let you and Kat go in there alone. At the time, it seemed ok; I forgot that vampires could go around during daylight..."
" Everyone makes mistakes Clu... besides, do you think I'd REALLY let you talk me out of going in there?" Fi laughed a little, but her smile faded when Clu looked at her, his face serious.
*-*-*-*
Your the hope that moves me,
the courage again.
Your the love that rescues me from the cold winter rage.
*-*-*-*
" I felt something when you went inside and screamed... it was like ten thousand butterflies attacking my stomach."
" That's what my mom said she felt." Fi said quietly. Clu nodded, shrugging. " But you got me out Clu- your risked your life for me."
" It was the least I could do..." Clu said quietly, hugging her. He pulled away after a few minutes, and laughed quietly. " You're wearing that thing with a pretty dress like that?" He asked, smiling.
" Your necklace worked... just like Gabe's did for Jack." Fi smiled, touching the necklace softly.
*-*-*-*
And it's so amazing 'cause thats just how you are.
And I cant turn back now, because you've brought me too far.
*-*-*-*
" Well... that's good... but Fi that thing doesn't go with the dress."
" Oh like you know anything about matching." Fi teased.
" I resent that. I've gotten better, see? I match."
" That's because Jack helped you find something probably." Fi giggled.
" Oh? Really?" Clu grinned and grabbed her, proceeding to tickle her.
" Mercy! Mercy!!" Fi squealed, trying to get away.
" Say I'm the best dresser in the world." Clu grinned, keeping a tight grip on her. Fi rolled her eyes, laughing.
*-*-*-*
I need you like water, like breath, like rain.
I need you like mercy from heaven's gate.
Theres a freedom in your arms.
Carries me through, I need you.
Oh yes I do.
*-*-*-*
" Your-You're the best dresser in the world." She gasped, giggles overcoming her as Clu stopped tickling her, keepings his hands around her waist. She turned, so she was staring at him. She had never seen him look this way before, even when she had just gotten her crush on him. She stood still, her eyes shining. " Clu?" She asked softly, glancing at him.
