*** Song Fic, " Goodbye To You" By Michelle Branch"***



Trish stared up at the empty ceiling. She sighed heavily.

It had been a month since Shannon died.

She never even got to say goodbye.

It was just a match, some stupid match for Smackdown.

But that stupid match robbed her of her fiancée..Her life.

She Spent three wonderful years with Shannon.

He was the one, He was everything happy to her.

She rolled over on the bed and glanced at the picture of her and Shannon at an amusement park.

He had his hair pulled back, with a backwards hat and sunglasses

She slighty chuckled.. She had always hated those sunglasses.

He was standing behind her, with his arm on her shoulder, Her head leaned into her arm, smiling.

Her sister had told her to take that picture out of her room, It was too many memories.. She had to forget.

Trish was disgusted at the thought. She didn't want to forget anything about Shannon, He was hers.

:::: Feels Like I'm Starting All Over Again ::::

:::: The Last Three Years Were Just Pretend :::::

She said she didn't want to forget anything.. But somehow she was.

Simple things, like the sound of him breathing at night or the way he looked when he laughed.

She couldn't sleep.. Not Tonight... Not Alone.

She closed her eyes and remembered.

She and Shannon were at some night club, dancing on the outside porch, a slow song had come on and young couples flooded the floor.

Shannon, held her in to his chest tightly. She smiled, while running her fingers through his hair.

Suddenly, it started to pour, Down pour on the whole crowd.

Couples dashed inside for shelter against the heavy rain.

Trish went to move away from Shannon's grasp, but he smiled and pulled her back in

" Have some fun, babes" he smiled, while lifting her off the floor and twirling her around. She giggles loudly, wrapping her arms around him tightly. The rain had practically sunken through their clothes now. But they didn't care. They were foolish and in love.



The dance floor was all to them now. The beautiful night sky lit with stars, She looked over Shannon's shoulder to see a tiny little shooting star. She smiled. In complete total comfort.

::::: And I Said Goodbye To You :::::

:::: Goodbye To Everything I Knew ::::

:::: You Were The One I Loved ::::

:::: The One Thing That I Tried To Hold On To ::::

Trish held the photo against her chest.

She'd Kill to dance with him again.

He died instantly. It was a Tuesday. She remembered hearing the news from Jeff.

Sinking down in her chair, basically screaming out sobs, and shaking her head no as Jeff held her.

" His neck just snapped. There was nothing anyone could do"

Those words echoed throughout her head over and over again driving her insane



She could have been there with him backstage.. But She went out to dinner with her friend Amy Instead.

She swore she'd never forgive herself for it.

She wanted to be with him, just to say goodbye

She wondered if Shannon was still out there, with her somehow.

She clenched her eyes closed, and tried to feel him around her.



::::: I Used to Get Lost in Your eyes::::

:::: And It Seems That I Can't Live A Day Without You ::::

:::: Closing My Eyes And You Chased My Thoughts Away ::::

:::: To A Place Where I Am Blinded By The Light ::::

:::: But It's Not Right ::::



She sighed, rubbing her head into the pillow.

It was hard to sleep with him to cuddle with.

Feeling his warm touch caress her bare back.

His breath tickling the back of her neck.

Her eyes watered.. There would never be anything like

What she had with Shannon.

She pulled his pillow towards her. She inhaled the sent

of his cologne.

She hadn't washed his pillow since he had died.

Sometimes at night, she'd wake up and smell the cologne lingering on the bed sheets and actually think he was there with her.

Those were hard moments.

She ran her hand up and down his side of the bed, The Moonlight from the window, lighting the spot perfectly.

::::: And It Hurts to Want Everything And Nothing At The Same time :::::

:::: I Want What's Yours and I want what's mine::::

:::: I Want You But I'm Not Getting It This time ::::



She looked out the window, into the perfect night sky.

Much like sky looked when she and Shannon shared that dance in the rain.

Rain reminded her of Shannon. She'd find herself smiling at it, being reminded of the ridiculous things they've done.

Or him kissing her in the rain, Hands wandering up and down her back.

Him kissing or nipping her neck. They used to be so intimate.

Feeling the energy off of one another.. They knew each other's bodies and minds so well, Trish knew it was a perfect match.

Maybe he was still with her. somehow. If He was she wanted a sign. Anything.

She waited for it in silence

She glanced out the window again. Staring into the glittering sky.

She stretched her arms up above her head, lying on her side to watch the sky.



A Shooting star shot across the sky, etching It with a long faded white streak. Just like in the rain.

She lightly smiled to herself.. Shannon was watching over her.

:::: You're My Shooting Star..:::::
