Where You Are, Chapter 2
~Paris~
Sheridan finally had found
Jean-Luc's apartment. "Here goes nothing," she muttered. She knocked on the
door, and before she could say anything, she was met by a gun. "Follow
instructions or else," a man said. Trembling, she followed him and another man,
where she was tied up and held at gunpoint. So many questions filled her mind,
like what happened to Jean-Luc, but the one that stood out the most was: Would
she ever be able to see Luis again?
*2h later*
Sheridan had woken up, still
in her tied position. The two Frenchmen were still discussing what to do. She
guessed that they were planning to kill her, but she didn't know why. She
remembered how Luis had saved her life on many occasions, but this time, he
wasn't here to save her…
There are times I
swear I know you're here,
when I forget about my fears, feelin' you, my dear,
watching over me, and my hope seeks
what the future will bring
when you wrap me in your wings and take me
Where you are, where
you and I will breathe together
Once again
We'll be dancing in the moonlight just like we used to do
And you'll be smiling back at me
Only then will I be free,
when I can be where you are
~Plane~
Luis had just drifted off to
sleep.

"No! Don't do it!" Luis
yelled, but he was too late; the man pulled the trigger and the gun was fired.
He saw Sheridan get a look of
surprise, then a crimson stain spread across her
shirt. She fell backward, and he rushed to her. "Sher,
come on, wake up," he said, shaking her, but she didn't move. He looked at her
face, so beautiful, so serene… and now lifeless, and then he grabbed his gun
and fired…
Luis woke up with a start. "Oh my God… Sheridan's in danger…"
And I can see your
face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased…
Sheridan looked out the window and into the city of lights (and love). Then she looked up and saw a star.
Oh, I see your star
shining down on me
And I'd do anything…
…if I could just be
right there where you are,
where you and I will breathe together once again
We'll be dancing in the moonlight just like we used to do,
and you'll be smiling back at me
Only then will I be free…
…then I will be free, so take me where you are…
If only I could be where Luis was…
Luis could feel Sheridan's need of him. He couldn't explain it, but he knew she wanted him there. He wanted to be there too, where Sheridan was.
Now, baby, there are
times when selfishly,
I wish that you were here with me,
so I could wipe the tears from your eyes and make you see
that every night while you are dreaming,
I'm here to guard you from afar
And anytime I feel
alone,
I close my eyes and dream of where you are…
"I'm coming for you, Sheridan. Don't you worry." And as soon as he had said that, he fell asleep again.
¤Dream¤
"I love you, Luis," Sheridan said to her new husband.
"I love you too, Mrs. Sheridan Lopez-Fitzgerald." They both grinned, and he led her to the dance floor, where they shared their first dance as husband and wife.
When the visions
around you bring tears to your eyes
and all that surround you are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength; I'll give you hope,
keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call was standing here all alone
And I will take you
in my arms
and hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through,
this I promise you, this I promise you
I've loved you
forever in lifetimes before
and I promise you, never, will you hurt anymore
I give you my word, I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow, forever has now begun
Just close your
eyes, each loving day
and know this feeling won't go away
'Til the day my life is through,
this I promise you, this I promise you
Over and over I fall
when I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby,
I just wouldn't be living at all
Just as the song was ending, Luis whispered the words in Sheridan's ear:
Every word I say is true, this I promise you…
Luis awoke again and smiled.
