AN: This is a sequel to my fic "Letter". Anyway this is another personal fic. My Girlfriend just broke up with me so I wrote this. It's a song fic to the classic Beatles song "Yesterday" (Although I used the more recent Marti Pellow cover). Hope you like.
Ash read the letter, his heart being pummeled by every word. It felt like a professional boxer was in his chest attacking him with everything he had. Every word was like poison, searing through his soul, killing his passion slowly but effectively. Finishing it he immediately returned to the start, re-reading the letter, praying that he hadn't just read what he thought he had. He had. Dejectedly he threw the letter onto the nearby table before slouching into the comfortable couch. Normally he'd be enjoying that couch, relaxing in it's deep encompassing hold. Not today. Today it gave him the impression of smothering, something he was actively welcoming at this point. Deeply sighing he pulled himself up and walked over to the kitchen, hoping that food could offer some comfort from the harsh reality he now had to face. I'm alone. Again. Stepping into the small room he opened the fridge and surveyed the contents. His hopes that food would offer comfort were quashed. Inside were all things that he and Misty had eaten together, things that she loved, things that he loved, things that they had loved. Ash sighed again and took out some bacon slices. Closing the fridge door he grabbed some bread from the nearby cupboard and prepared a frying pan. His current mood called for a bacon sandwich. Three seconds after flipping on the radio was when he realized that he shouldn't have. It was perhaps the worst thing he could have heard at the time.
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know,
she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don't know,
she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
The song finished, snapping Ash out of the trance he'd gone into. Tears criss-crossed their way down his cheeks, and the smell of burning bacon drifted into his nostrils. He ignored it, instead sliding to the floor, his head buried deep in his hands. I've lost her. The one woman I ever loved, and I've lost her. his mind screamed at him, causing his tears to overflow, running down the outside of his hands and dripping onto the floor. Yesterday he was in relatively blissful ignorance of the letters contents. He whimpered, only one word escaping his lips "Yesterday."
AN: Ok, this is yet another personal fic from me. My love life is really going down the toilet at the moment, so I wouldn't be surprised to see more of these over the next week or two. Anyway, I keep saying that I'll have the next fic out soon but I've hit a wall with it at the moment, so it could take a few more days. Oh well, dem's the breaks. Read and review please.
