Title: Looking Back
Rating: PG-13
A/N: Hello:] Now. I got some reviews. and, you know, they're all good:] this song is by Steve Perry :o And it's called Foolish Heart. It's really for first timers who are tough, like Trinity, but I needed to accompany a song with when Persephone asks Neo for a kiss (Argh! How could she?) Anyway, here it is. and please R&R:] you know, I just realized that Cinn always reads my stories. thanks, dude:]
FOOLISH HEART
Trinity's POV
I need a love that grows
I don't want it unless I know
With each passing hour
Someone, somehow
Will be there, ready to share
***
"I want to sample a kiss." Persephone said simply as she stared at Neo with visible interest. I stopped dead, staring at her hard through my sunglasses. "E- Excuse me?" I choked.
***
I need a love that's strong
I'm so tired of being alone
But will my lonely heart
Play the part
Of the fool again, before I begin
***
"I want you to kiss me as if you were kissing her." She was staring at him. I could tell she was beautiful. A guy could notice that from a mile away, and I knew that if Neo liked her looks, she might take him away. The thought of that made me rooted to the spot, anger bubbling into me, as she came closer to Neo. "A long time ago, I knew how that felt, I want to taste it." I couldn't bare it anymore, "I want to sample it. That's all, just a sample."
***
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
***
I couldn't take it anymore. JUST a sample? I took my gun out and aimed it right in the middle of that artificial head. "Why don't you sample this instead?" I said coldly. "Trinity." Morpheus warned. I had to put my gun down, but I wouldn't take my eyes off Neo. Please Neo, I pleaded quietly, please listen, I love you. please don't do this to me.
***
Feeling that feeling again
Playing a game I can't win
Love's knocking on the door
Of my heart once more
Think I'll let her in
Before I begin
***
"Such hatred over something so small," Persephone said, "It's just a kiss." It might have been a kiss to her, but if Neo ever kissed anyone else, I would feel. rejected. As if someone won over me for the thing I valued most, and even though I knew it was for a good reason, I could feel my heart tearing into two. I could see myself falling to the floor, crying, writhing, and even bucking in pain. And I knew it wouldn't stop there.
***
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before, you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart
Foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before
***
"And what if you don't give us the keymaker?" Morpheus asked tentatively. I knew he must have felt sorry, maybe even guilty, maybe he would even tell me that he knew how I felt. But he'll never know, never. "Then she can kill me." Persephone said, staring at me with her sparkling eyes, as if to make me jealous. But I didn't need her to tell me how much she was taking away, and if I had the chance, I would show her, just how much. Neo looked at me for a while, as if asking permission. I knew he could see through me, he could see the depths of my heart and soul, and I decided to not hide it. I couldn't if I tried, anyway. "All right." He finally said. And as his mouth hovered on Persephone's lips, I felt my heart pumping the blood faster and faster. I felt it tear into two, and I felt my anger screaming inside me, trying to get out, but I held myself together, closing my eyes though the dark lens that covered my eyes, as I tried to fight back tears. It hurt me more than I could ever imagine, and it hurt more than anything that had ever happened to me. you could even count all my injuries put together.
***
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart
***
It felt like hours and hours, but I knew it only lasted for about three seconds. "Terrible." Persephone said plainly, "Forget it." I already felt all the sanity inside me fly away and I felt like taking my gun and shooting her everywhere until her body was deformed. I wanted to remind her of how much pain she caused, this slow painful torture that left an invisible scar that would never go away, planted in my memory forever and ever. "Wait." Neo said suddenly, and I could see that he felt hurt, too. And then, they kissed.
***
Oh foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before
***
I could just see their tongues clash; just feel the warmth that Persephone stole away. Could just feel those tender hands, moving up and down her arms. And for a moment, I could feel everything go black, and I was above crying. I tried to think of the fact that this was all fake, that Persephone would never be able to feel Neo's touch, Neo's passion, that she would never feel the burning pleasure that me and Neo shared, that she would never hear him say those three words. but I knew that wouldn't change anything. My muscles were tensing, scolding me for letting this happen. I felt only so much relief when the suffering ended, yet so little. Neo looked. I don't know. I heard Persephone sigh, and the next thing I knew, she was leading us to the Key maker, but all I could do was remain expressionless, replaying the vision again and again, over and over, and it never stopped. Neo tried to catch my eye, and I knew he was trying to ask forgiveness, but I looked away.
***
Foolish, foolish heart
Foolish heart
