I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
Eames sat looking out her window at the approaching storm. She loved the summer rain, but somehow this time it was filled with sadness. Tonight was her last night in New York.
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
Goren sat watching the TV, with no sound. He'd rather hear his thoughts than the Monty Python movie. Usually he'd love to watch The Holy Grail, but tonight was Alex's last night in New York.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Eames leaned her head against the cold glass, legs tucked up and her chin leaning on her knees. She wanted to stay, after all, it was her home, but there was just one thing that she wanted to escape.
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
Goren switched the movie off and put his CD player on. Classical music flowed through his apartment, and he picked up a book. He didn't know which one, just any one. It just happened to be Sleepless In Seattle. He preferred reading the book to watching the movie.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Eames decided to try and sleep. She closed her eyes and relaxed, but all she could see was him. She opened her eyes and tears streamed down. It wasn't the silent tears, she cried.
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
Goren tried so hard to keep his mind on the book, but he just couldn't. His mind wandered and all he saw was her name. He just couldn't stand the thought of her not being there. Maybe a walk would clear his foggy mind.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Alex threw back the covers and got dressed. She couldn't stay confined in her room any longer. She just had to get out.
She decided to go to her favourite bridge. It was always lit up with beautiful lights. She didn't care if it was raining; she just wanted to get out. As she walked she felt the pelting rain washing away the old Alex. It was like a cleansing. As she approached the bridge, she saw a figure leaning on it. She squinted through the mist, and to her joy – but at the same time fear – she saw the one person she didn't want to.
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
"Alex? It that you?" Goren yelled out. She turned around and started walking the opposite direction, then turned and walked towards him. She didn't know what to do, so he ran to her.
"What are you doing here Bobby?" she asked.
"I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking of you," he confessed. He looked at her wet face. He couldn't tell if it was water or tears that was running from her eyes.
"I know. I tried to sleep, but all I saw was you," she admitted. He took her hand in his.
"Marry me Alex. And if you won't, just stay. Just stay with me," he pleaded. She started to cry and slowly shook her head.
"I can't Bobby. It's too hard. We tried and it didn't work. It's all in the past now, just leave it be," she said. She wanted to stay so badly, but her heart was telling her no. She slowly backed away.
"Goodbye Bobby," she said, and started walking. Bobby lifted his head to the sky, and let the rain wash away his tears.
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
The next morning Eames sat on the plane silently crying all the way. She had said goodbye to her apartment, goodbye to her job, and goodbye to the city and felt totally fine. The one thing she didn't feel fine with was saying goodbye to Bobby.
Goren had been awake all night, watching the arrival and departure announcements on the Internet. He'd been up all night waiting for one plane…hers. When the words changed to 'departed', his heart sank. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. She was gone.
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
Eames caught a Taxi to her new apartment in LA. It was bright and sunny, but inside it still rained like it had in NY. She took a deep breath and walked through the door. As soon as she did, a man came out of the apartment next to her. He was tall with blue eyes and black hair.
"You must be the new neighbour. I'm Bobby. Bobby Woods," he said as he extended his hand. Bobby. She smiled a little, the first one in LA. She took his hand, and he smiled. For a split second she saw her Bobby in there. He was still with her, and she hoped she was still with him.
But you still have all of me

Verdict? I hope it was worth it!
