Okay, ppl are actually reading this now, so maybe I'll write more :D
anyways, here's the next installation, and WARNING to everyone who likes it
b/c it's realistic. don't read this. Go straight to therapy.sorry, I'm in a
sarcastic mood and this is fun *starts bouncing off the walls. literally*
Oh yeah, the song is Iris by the GooGoo Dolls, and it's not mine. (
"What was that about?"
"Nothing that concerns you Alec." My tone is neutral, not indicating my inner turmoil. I guess Manticore taught us that much at least. "Just business. Don't be so paranoid." I smirk, thinking about how much Alec has begun to remind me of Zack. An odd thought, considering the circumstances, but not unrealistic. He's been protective of his little sister, although nowhere near as extreme.
"Hey Boo, what did Wheels want?"
"A haircut."
Original Cindy sniggers. "Right. Original Cindy's got herself a nice little birthday present. You coming home tonight? 'Cuz ya know I got your back covered."
"Don't worry about it. You go have fun, I'll stay a bit longer, then crash at Joshua's. I owe you for covering my @ss."
She leaves, Alec not that far behind. Looks like the only one without a mate tonight is me. The biker practically flew out of here after that disagreement with Lydecker. Can't really blame him either. That's fine with me though. In my mood, human contact is the last thing I need. I sit at the bar, downing pitcher after pitcher of beer. The conversation runs through my head. Right Max, you don't want to be with Logan. It also never rains in Seattle. I decide to have one more drink, then leave. Even x5s have a limit. Suddenly, a pre-Pulse song comes on.. The first line catches my attention.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
I continue to listen, and I get this feeling that this song was meant for me.
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Tears grapple at my throat. I know what I must do.
