-Chapter 8: Bring me to Life-
Authors Note: I wasn't sure how to quite make this work, so it may be a bit off, but I'm actually happy with how it turned out. Sometimes it's easiest to write while falling asleep listing to the song and dreaming a weird flash back memory movie thing. Try it sometime.
I looked across the quad at the table I sat at when the weather was on our side. So many people walking around, talking, laughing, dealing with life like nothing had happened. Because it hadn't. To them it hadn't been a loss of a best friend, just another crazy suicidal classmate. But to me it had been a loss of a best friend and so much more. I slammed my books on the table and looked my boyfriend in the eyes, then looked down. I heard him sigh. "Liz.." he said.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors Leading you down into my core Where I've become so numb without a soul My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there and lead it back home
He knew. He always knew. And never knew. "Lizzie, I'm not going to let you do this to yourself," he told me. Yeah, right. "And how are you going to stop me?" I asked him.
Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become
"Lizzie, you can't just.. Reject the whole world. You have to deal with this. You're destroying yourself!" he told me. "Good," I countered.
Now that I know what I'm without You can't just leave me Breath into me and make me real Bring me to life
"Lizzie, c'mon. You need help," he told me. "Maybe you're the one that needs help. Our best friend kills herself and you act like it doesn't even effect you!" He looked hurt. "It effects me, but this isn't healthy."
Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become
"I'm nothing anymore, just leave me alone. I like being a hollow empty shell," I told him. He shook his head.
Frozen inside without your touch without your love Darling only you are the life among the dead
"I guess you aren't the girl that I knew anymore. I'm leaving. And Lizzie, don't expect me to come back until you've gotten help. I've tried, but I guess that you're beyond that now." And with that, he stood up and left. And then I knew what he met by he was leaving and not coming back.
All of this time I can't believe I couldn't see Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems Got to open my eyes to everything Without a thought without a voice without a soul Don't let me die here there must be something more Bring me to life.
He had broken up with me. And now I was truly alone.
