(A/n: Hi all! Well, I'm sittin' here all nice and comfy in pajamas, and I have my hair down instead of the usual bun!
Everyone that knows me stares at me in disbelief What? I felt like taking it out! N e ways, I'm not sick n e more, but I think I'm catching a cold from people in school... sigh I was sick for THREE WEEKS! Sigh School-I hate it. It sucks. Must I go on? Not to mention certain people are in my life when they shouldn't be. Life sucks. Hurricane Isabel hit us, well kinda. It was weak, kinda, when it here. A lot of people's trees were knocked down. You wouldn't believe how TERRIFIED I was! I was like this -------------- !0.0! Could ya tell I was scared? Well, I really struggled with this chapter because of school, me reading manga, chores, other stuff, and just plain old writer's block. Oh, and The Divine Wings of Tragedy, where are ya! I miss ya! N e ways, enjoy my story and remember to review! . Oh, and this'll be a songfic chapter. The song is called 'Numb' by one of my favorite bands, Linkin Park. Read the author's notes from now on. Enjoy! .)

The water felt like a million slaps all over his body when he first fell. Then the water turned to freezing. Staying
conscious would be difficult. He fought to stay afloat but was fighting a loosing battle. Only one thought was going through his head.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be. Feeling so faithless. Lost under the surface.

'I'm not going to make it.'

I don't know what you're expecting of me. Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes.

Sure, it was probably one of the most negative thoughts that he could possible be thinking right now, but of well.
What were his chances of surviving? The undertow of the water was slowly pulling him further and further away from the safety of the shore.

Caught in the under. Just caught in the undertow. Every step that I take is another mistake to you. Caught in the undertow. Just caught in the undertow.

The water was freezing! It felt like pins and needles all over his body. He couldn't move at all. The freezing cold
temperature had immobilized him. If only he could have spent his last moments with Harlequin. He wished that he could know that she would be safe without him. She would probably never know about his death until it was too late.

I've become so numb. I can't feel you there. Become so tired. So much more aware. I'm becoming this. All I want to do. Is be more like me and be less like you.

Serge sank deeper and deeper into the water. He was slowly running out of oxygen and strength. It would be the end
soon. Drowning-what a horrible way to go.

Heck, Kid could say that he "accidentally" slipped or fell off. Better yet, she could say that he "purposely" jumped
off the cliff to "show-off". Yeap. The way Kid was acting now, he had no doubt in mind that she would.

What had happened? He was talking to her, then he stood up, and then the next thing he knew, she pushed him off
the peak of Cape Howl. Leading directly to where he was now--about to drown. He just didn't understand.

Can't you see that you're smothering me. Holding too tightly. Afraid to lose control

What had HE ever done to deserve this? What had HE done to deserve to suffer like this? Was it his very existence?

But it wasn't HIS choice to be brought into this world to start a life. It was his mother and father, not him. So why was HE getting the punishment?

That was his last thought before he lost all consciousness.

(A/n: Hey, I need to get some rest. It's 1:25AM and I feel like all the life and energy was sucked outta me. So g'night! I'll be back, I promise! I feel so bad cough about leaving a cliffy there Cough, but I really need sleep. I'm falling asleep sitting down on the floor! If I don't, then you'll just have to wait until I update. Which will be soon, I promise. Please just be patient with me. My WHOLE ENTIRE WEEK hasn't been going too well. Not to mention school crap. Chap.15 is called "Numb; Life or Death Part 2". The song'll continue from where it left off. Ja ne! L8ter! -P.E.Y)
