Is She Gone?

By: SweetGirl

Tommy Oliver sat down at his apartment after a long day of work of racing at the track, and going over some plans with his best friend. His best friend, Jason Lee Scott and himself were about to open a new dojo.

He started to think about that familiar flash of blonde he had saw in the crowd after he had finished racing. He knew it was just a coincidence, because he knew that Katherine Hillard was thousands of miles away, dancing her heart out, and being called *dazzling, graceful, stunning, and a fantastic dancer* by London's top critics. He was happy for her, he told himself, but he couldn't help but feel that he was missing apart of himself while she was gone. They had talked on the phone and e-mailed each other, but it wasn't the same. Then suddenly he was snapped out of his trance when he heard a song on the radio. He never was a big fan of Nsync, but this song was connected with him as he listened.

There's a thousand words that I could say
To make you come home yeah
Oh, seems so long ago you walked away
and left me alone
and I remember what you said to me
You were acting so strange (mmmm)
and maybe I was too blind to see
That you needed a change

He remembered the day that she had told him that she was leaving to go of to London. He couldn't believe it at first. He knew that he would never stop her from doing what she had to do, but he had been worried that the same thing that happened to Kimberly and him, would happened to them two. He didn't think that he could take that, because what he felt for Katherine was stronger, and Kim and himself were meant to be friends, which they were. But then he told himself that it didn't matter, and that he would always love her, even to the day that he died. She would be home this summer, but that was still another two months away.

I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
(Can't get you off my mind)
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
(touch your face)
But the truth remains..

You're gone..
You're gone.. (baby you're gone)
Baby you're gone
Girl you're gone, baby girl, you're gone..
You're gone..
You're...

He could say that he was ok with this whole situation, but he would only be lying to himself again. He still remembered her beautiful sapphire eyes, the way that she used to just talk to him, even her sweet shampoo scented hair. If only he could tell her that he loved her.

Now I don't wanna make excuses, baby
Won't change the fact that you're gone, no, no
But if there's something that I could do
Won't you please let me know?
The time is passing so slowly now
Guess that's my life without you
(guess that's my life without you)
and maybe I could change my every day (yeah)
But baby I don't want to

He hadn't told her how he felt before she left because he had been afraid. He had been afraid that if he gave her his heart, that one day she wouldn't love him back. Now he wished he had trusted her better and had just told her. Even if she didn't know it, she had his heart, always. He could of picked up the phone and told her that, but that didn't feel right.

So I'll just hang around
and find some things to do
To take my mind off missing you
(take my mind off missing you)
and I know in my heart
You can't say that you don't love me too
Please say you do

Yeeaah....

He had thrown himself into his racing, and opening the dojo so he wouldn't think about her. It had worked, but not for long. He hoped that with all his heart and soul, that she loved him as much as he loved her.

What will I do
If I can't be with you
Tell me where will I turn to
Baby who will I be
Now that we are apart
Am I still in your heart?
Baby why don't you see?
That I need you here with me
Oohhh...

I've been sitting here (sittin' here)
Can't get you off my mind (can't get you off of my mind)
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains
(the truth remains you're gone)

He just wished that it wasn't too late to tell her that he needed to be with her. He even considered calling right then and there because it wasn't too late; but then he remembered the time change. Kat would be sleep by now, probably worn out from all the hard work she did. He told himself that he would call her in the morning, if she were home. She never seemed to be home. Hope she's ok Tommy told himself.

"Well I better get to bed" Tommy thought to himself. As he walked to his room he heard the doorbell ring.

"Wonder who that could be" he said as he walked to the door. It was raining out, and everybody that he knew would be asleep.

You're gone..
You're gone..
You're gone
You're gone
Gone
You're gone..

But the truth remains
You're....

When he opened the door he couldn't believe his eyes. There was Katherine standing at his doorway, wearing a black skirt, pink top, black boots, and a leather tie around jacket.

"Where's a camera when you need one" said Katherine with her Australian accented voice, smiling at the look on Tommy's face.

"Kat, I don't believe it." Tommy finally said once he got over his shock.

"Can I come in?" she asked

"I'll do you one better" he said, as he picked her up into his arms, and carried her inside. He knew that this time he wouldn't let her get away. He finally felt complete, and that was exactly what he was going to tell her.

Authors Note: I know this song didn't go right with the ending, but I still felt like writing it. THANK YOU!!!
