~NOW YOU'RE IN THE WORLD~
*When you're all alone
And you need a light
Someone to guide you
Through the night
Just remember
That I am here*
Another knock on the door. I don't want to answer it, but I want to answer it so badly. I never want to see him again, but I want to hold him in my arms forever and never let go. If it's him, I don't know I'll have the strength to turn him away again. I can't answer the door. I can't risk seeing him there again. The rain is pouring down tonight. How perfect. It suits my dark and dismal mood, the loneliness, the fear. But if I concentrate on the sound of the storms outside, I don't hear the urgent knocking on my door. But then I hear him.
"SYDNEY!"
No. I can't come Vaughn. I can't. Turn around and leave.
"SYDNEY! PLEASE!"
My heart is shattering into a million pieces.
"SYDNEY! Are you ok? Please, PLEASE answer the door!"
I can't take anymore. I have to see him. I can't listen to his heart break like that for another instant.
I answer the door and begin to sob. He is dripping wet and looks as if, like me, he hasn't slept since we last parted. His eyes are red rimmed
"Sydney." He breathes out a sigh of relief.
"Oh Vaughn..." it hurts so much to see him. I want him more than anything in this world.
"Sydney..." his voice wavers.
He takes me in his arms. He holds me so tight, I can hardly breathe. But I don't care. I can't breathe around him anyway. "Sydney...I'm never letting you go."
"You already did."
*When you're all alone
And you need a friend
Someone to help you to the end*
"Sydney, I'm so sorry. Forgive me. I was so stupid. I was scared. I didn't know what to do. Forgive me....forgive me..."
His pleading is breaking my heart.
"Of course, I forgive you. I forgave you before you left. It was my fault. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! I don't want to lose you! I don't want to kill you like everyone else..."
He pulls me inside. I'm now just as wet as him. He sets me on the couch and wraps me in a blanket, but it doesn't stop my body from shaking. My tears are falling down, rivaling the rain outside.
A gentle thumb wipes them away. He cups his hands behind my head and cradles me.
"I love you Sydney. I love you...I love you. Shhh...it's ok. Don't cry. I'm here. Forever. And I'm going to take care of you. We're close to taking them down. Soon. I'm going to hold you until you're ok again, and then I'm going to love you for the rest of our lives."
*To hold you close and dry your tears
Just when you thought you were falling
You know I'll always be right there*
"I won't hurt you anymore Syd. I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you...I didn't know what to do."
"I love you so much Vaugn. I tried to push you away. It killed me but I wanted you to be ok, I didn't want you to hurt, I wanted to save you. But I can't. You love me and that's the worst thing you can do."
"No, Syd! Don't you see? We're going to get rid of them. And we won't have to worry. Please believe my Sydney."
"I believe you."
*Just when you thought you were falling
You know I'll always be right there
Whenever you need me I'll always be right there*
*When you're all alone
And you need a light
Someone to guide you
Through the night
Just remember
