Hey guys, I thought I'd let ya'll know sumthing about the charcters that were portrayed in the first chapter as Med's friends. Yes they are supposed to be cheep replications of mine and Med is also a cheep replication of me. Those of you who know the first story should be shrinking back in horror because of the first chapter. Just to let ya'll know I have never CUT myself in that way, I have however made red whelps on my arm with paperclips. I would not recommend it because the red marks last for a long time, I can actually still see one of mine, and I did it back before I wrote the first story. So don't do it, you will have supreme consequences. (Panda, ya learn new things every day) Oh and the guy that was described in the mean jocks and popular boys scene, that is Games/my ex. Which there's a funny story about him, but I've wasted enough time already talking so here's the next Friggin Chapter!!!!!!!! @#$% that!

Chap 3: Who Cares.

Med woke up the next morning to see a beautiful dress sitting on the bed near her feet. It was one of the most beautiful things she'd ever seen. She jumped out of the bed and looked outside. She'd slept late, she hadn't done that in a long time. Of course she did stay up half the night talking to Legolas about his nose and other what not.

She quickly pulled the dress on and looked at herself in the mirror on her wall. She hadn't seen herself in a mirror for ages. Her hair hadn't been messed with for 4 months. Her eyebrows were becoming one, and she had dirt all over her face. To sum it up she looked like hell. She went over to her dresser and pulled out a brush and brushed her hair out till it looked tame. It had grown a lot since she'd come to Middle Earth. Instead of only going to her shoulders in went down to her back! She hadn't had hair this long in ages.

She did her best using her old shirt to spit clean her face, and when it came to her eyebrows. "To hell with 'em" she said as the door to her room opened. Legolas peeked his head in.

"Uh." he sputtered.

"Hi Leggy!" she beamed doing a spin for him, "Whadaya think?"

"You look. you look." he stammered.

"Like shit I know, but purdy good for a spit bath, eh?" she smiled.

"Actually," he said coming over, "You look amazing. I've never seen you like this!"

"OH! So I guess you like it?" she asked.

"Of course," he answered coming over and kissing her gently on the lips.

"Oh, Leggy," she sighed, "You charmer!"

"I hope that's a good thing," he smiled putting his hand against her cheek.

"Depends on the girl,"

"So for a girl like you?"

"Absolutely," she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on his lips throwing her arms around his neck. He grabbed her around her waist and leaned into the kiss. It was much like their Lothlorien kiss, (hint read the first story if you haven't already) but so much better.

"Legolas," she breathed as they parted.

"Yes," he smiled.

"You are one hell of a kisser," she grinned throwing herself on him again and beginning another kiss fest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"So the two lovers finally decide to join us?" teased Gimli as the two walked into the main hall holding hands.

"Oh Gimli, you'll fall in love one day and completely understand," Med smiled looking up at Legolas.

"I see you've grown up a bit since I last saw you Med," Gandalf smiled at the two.

"Gandalf," said Legolas grabbing a piece of bread off the table, "She's changed more than you'd ever understand."

"She also cleans up well," joked Aragorn puffing on his pipe.

The leftover fellowship sat and talked and ate and talked and ate some more. Eowyn came down later and told them Theoden wished to meet with the men and discuss matters that must be taken care of. So Med was left alone with Eowyn in the hall. They sat/stood in silence for the longest time.

"Did you really travel with them all the way from Rivendell?" asked Eowyn wide eyed.

"No," she shook her head, "They found be about 3 days outside of Rivendell."

"But you've battled orcs, and all sorts of things?"

"No, just orcs, I was almost killed by one."

"You've battled anon the less,"

"I try not to think about it."

"I wish I could have been in battle."

"Someday Eowyn, someday," she muttered.

"How do you know my name?" she asked.

"I heard someone else say it."

"I heard that you are a Princess from far off lands."

"Not exactly."

"What then?"

"I'm just from far off lands, no royalty here."

"That's amazing!"

"I'm Med, by the way,"

"Med? Odd sounding."

"It's short for Medalia D'oro"

"Oh." Eowyn paused and looked at the floor, "So what's going on with you and that elf?"

"Legolas?"

"Yes."

"Uh. we're. uh."

"Lovers?"

"Yeah, in a way."

"What's the problem?"

"I'm 14 years old." Eowyn gasped.

"You're that young!?" Med nodded her head. "My goodness! You look to be about 20!"

"It's the long hair, it grows really fast."

"No, your eyes look as if they've seen more years than just 14."

"Nope, just 14. That's my limit." A bell rang throughout the hall.

"I am called for, I'll talk to you later, seeing as we'll both be staying here, while the men go out and fight."

"What??!!"

"Didn't you know? We are supposed to stay here and keep Edoras safe."

-------------------------------------------------------

"YOU'RE MAKING ME STAY HERE??????!!!!!!!!!" screamed Med at the old wizard.

"Now Med, raising your voice will get you nowhere," soothed Gandalf.

"I don't give a shit!" she yelled, "Why in the hell should I have to sit here like good lil wifey and wait for you guys to come galavanting home to protect me once more?"

"Med Gandalf fears that we can't risk you losing your life for our cause," Aragorn calmly stated.

"Fuck Gandalf! What about the rest of you guys? You know I can fight! Legolas? Gimli? Aragorn? C'mon guys!" she trailed off. The guys just stared at the ground. "Well, okay. I see even here I wasn't wanted." And with that she stormed off.

"It was for her own good," said Gandalf.

"I agree that we can't risk her dying again, I feel we need her for some reason. She has a meaning behind her, I know it!" Aragorn mused. Legolas stared at the ground.

"When are we leaving?" he asked.

"Tomorrow," the happy dwarf beamed, "We are off to defeat the orcs and all of Sauroman's army!"

"Tomorrow," Legolas repeated to himself, "Tomorrow."

----------------------------------------------------------------

Med was out on one of the terrace balconies with her head in her arms on the rail over the gardens.

"If I smile and don't believe," sang Med quietly, "Soon I'll know I'll wake up from this dream, Don't try to fix me I'm not broken, Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide-"

"Don't cry," Legolas said coming up behind her. She whipped around.

"What do YOU want?" she asked.

"To talk to you," he said coming over to her.

"Why," she said turning back around, "You didn't seem to care about me back there."

"Med," he started, "We are trying to protect you! Gandalf feels we can't risk you dying and Aragorn thinks you have a bigger purpose for staying here-"

"What about you?!" she asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't want to risk losing you again," he whispered. She turned around, "Put yourself in my place. What would you do if you finally found out that the love of you life loved you also and then they died on you? What would you feel? Would you want to let me go out there and almost kill myself again?" She stood there in silence. "I carried you all the way to Fangorn Forest, Med, just cause I wouldn't let the hope that you'd live die. And when I turned around to see you sitting there, alive, I. couldn't believe it! Med, don't you understand? I would kill myself if I knew I'd failed to protect you again." She dropped to the floor starring off into space. "Med? Med! What's wrong? MED!" he called she didn't look up, she just sat there staring into space.

=======================================

"She was a wonderful girl, and I know we will all remember her as the happy, loving, girl she was. All I can say is that she was the most wonderful friend a girl could ever ask for. She was more than a cousin, she's the one who kept me from killing myself and I. don't know what I would have done without her." Sobbed a skinny blonde girl at the podium beside a coffin. Inside the coffin was a girl of about 14. She was dead too.

A short red head came up to the podium, "She once wrote in a poem: 'If you say I'm a slut, who cares. If you call me a lez, who cares. If you lable me fat, I don't care. If you think I'm all that, who cares.' That was exactly her outlook on life. She didn't care what you thought of her. If you hated her fine, if you loved her. well you got the best treatment you could ever get from a person. She was a great girl, I only wish she was here now to continue her greatness, but we can all learn one thing from this. You will be eternally happy if you don't care what others think, it was by caring that she died. She cared what someone who totally destroyed her heart thought and it killed her. It killed her Games, see this dead body, you caused this! It's your fault she's dead! Thank you Games! You killed my best friend!" The girl went into hysterics.

The ceremony came to a close and everyone filed past the coffin, Med stood behind a boy with short cut black hair. Many people were throwing him evil looks. He lifted up her left wrist. On the inside was a scar. It had the word LOVE with a line crossed through it. "I'm sorry," he whispered, "I just wanted some space, but not this much."

--------------------------------------------------------------

"MED!!!!" screamed Legolas in her face. She came to her senses. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"I think." she trailed off.

"What??!!"

"I'm dead!" she breathed.
