Disclaimer: The song 'My Immortal' by Evanescence doesn't belong to me I just borrowed it for this.
Jack reached the surface as quickly as he could, it had to be a joke, a sick twisted practical joke. She wasn't meant to be here not now, not ever again and yet here she was as plain as day, every detail the way he remembered, except one.
Things would be back to normal when he got home and Connor was sleeping, maybe this was the dream he thought.
Getting into his truck, he turned the radio on, if only to try and stop the millions of what if's, how and why questions floating in his head.
He arrived outside her house, it was hers and he knew it but something in his gut told him that there was something not right like back at the base. He observed the surroundings for a few minutes before making a silent wish that everything would be how he knew it and stepped out of the truck.
He let himself in finding the spare key after it appeared no one was at home, quietly closing the door behind him he searched the house fully looking for things familiar to him baby clothes, toys and everything he remembered, but instead found nothing his room hadn't even been decorated.
"Jokes over" he said to himself as he finished searching the house that apparently his son no longer stayed at as he locked up again before starting his task of questioning the neighbours.
An hour later he returned to the truck, questions still unanswered and more questions confusing the hell out of him, but right then and there as he turned the engine on he felt and knew he'd lost something he wasn't going to get back.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
As the music played from the still playing radio he wanted to turn it off, but found himself lost in thought as it did.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
Did he belong here?...was this right?.... was this some twisted game an alien or two he'd pissed off over the years decided to play as payback or something? the questions just kept flooding his mind over and over again.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
He need to get away from this, from all he knew or at least thought he knew to think so with that as his only rational attempt at thinking he pulled away not caring where he was going.
