Well, you guys, Burned was very sweet, and hey, since these are going to be nothing alike, said "of course" I can keep it up. Just cuz she's so nice.
I'm thinking of making the whole thing a series of song fics, to tell the story. I'm not sure yet, though. What do you guys say about that??
Oh yeah, I'm going to leave it so you guys have to infer a bunch of stuff, for now, though I of course, plan to develope it in later chapters.
By the way, I reserve the right to alter the lyrics as I see fit. (Though I'm just leaving out some repetition here. In others, the changes may be a bit more drastic.)
"Pushing Me Away" by Linkin Park
I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
Gohan entered the huge office slowly, and took his place at the table, across from her. "Videl," he greeted civilly.
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
She nodded. "Gohan."
'She--terrible, she looks terrible.' It was like five years had been added to her life. The fatigue, almost gruesome now...he had never thought, when they were together, that it would get this bad.
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
He had known the day that it had happened, that it could never last.
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
The light had gone out in her eyes.
You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind
He just didn't have the guts to leave her all alone.
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
He had waited for her. Stayed with her, and would...till the end...till she left him.
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
He had done everything he could, to make it all better, but he knew that was impossible.
Impossible...
I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
"It's about time you threw away this piece of trash," Mr. Satan boomed.
Videl looked up at Gohan, the tears glistening in her eyes, but didn't say a word.
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
He had promised her forever. Forever was a long time...
Everything falls apart
He knew this was hurting her so badly. Very few times, had she allowed the sorrow, which was buried so deeply within her heart, to show.
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
He wanted to move on. He wanted her to move on.
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
He wanted to be mad. Damn, how he wanted to feel anger. Who could he be angry with...aside from himself?
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
He took the pen, which was handed to him by her attorney.
"Let's make this quick," the man said quietly.
We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Gohan had been given his options. He could fight; try to hold on to the shreds that were his marriage. But...
We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing
He knew it was useless. She wasn't the Videl he had fallen in love with, any longer.
She had asked for time, and he had given it. She had begged his patience, he had waited. She wanted to be alone. He would oblige.
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
He signed the papers, and met her sorrowful gaze. He knew how she would mourn their marriage also. He rose from his chair, and started for the door.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
Pushes me away...
He didn't look back. "I know. Good-bye," he said before walking out of her life.
Pushes my away...
