Sumps Song Fics Chapter 3: Because You Loved Me, a beyblade fanfic

Ok, I'm not sure if some of you understand this. All the chapters are SEPARATE one-shot songfics, containing SEPARATE songs. They have nothing to do with each other, so it's not like a continuing story. Ok? Ok.

The song in this fic is Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion. I obviously don't own Celine, or the song, OR Beyblade.

She sat there, atop a brick wall with her feet held up to her chest, watching. Her brownish red eyes softened as the boy she was watching smiled and waved up to her. She weakly waved back and smiled.

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right

She unfolded her legs and steadied her self with her arms. She watched happily as the 17 year old boy came closer and closer, yelling out something that she couldn't hear. She waited for him to come right up to the wall, then swung her long legs down and carefully tried to lower herself to the ground. But a loud noise startled her, causing her to loose her balance and fall unprepared. Just before she hit the ground she felt two strong arms catch her. Looking up she saw his blue eyes looking down at her, twinkling with suppressed laughter.

"What would you do without me?" He asked innocently, lowering her feet to the ground and helping her stand properly. She smiled thankfully at him and wrapped an arm around his waist.

"I really don't know…"

-=-=-=-=-=-

For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through it all

"What were you doing up there?" He asked curiously as the couple made their way back into their high school. Climbing the stairs up to their floor she smiled and leaned her hear against his shoulder.

"Just thinking about the past. You know, when we met, when you got over cooties and realized I'm a nice person…" She teased, biting her lip to hold back tears. Not tears of sadness, tears of joy.

Ever since Tyson came into her life, she's been happier than she ever knew she could be.

Half and hour later, as she was sitting in math class, Hillary drifted off into her thoughts.

She and Tyson were 15 and had been getting closer as the years had gone by. At the time they were inseparable.

They sat together on Tyson's porch looking up at the stars. They had originally only planned on watching the sunset and then Hillary was going to depart for home. But they had been so content with each others company that they had continued to sit there, until it was one in the morning and the stars shinnied in the sky. Wrapping her arms around herself for warmth she rested her head on the railing of the porch.

Tyson looked over to see the sad look on her face. This worried him, Hillary was barely ever sad. Always happy, and if not happy, furiously mad.

"What's the matter?" He asked, placing a hand on her arm. She looked over to him and shrugged sadly.

"Nothing." She said in barely a whisper.

Tyson could tell that more than 'nothing' was wrong. Her eyes seemed to be troubled and her smile was a false one.

"You can tell me you know." Tyson said with a defensive tone. Hillary shook her head slightly and let out a little sigh.

"Its just… I don't think I'll ever be able to accomplish the things you guys have." Hillary said in a soft voice, a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks. Tyson smiled playfully and looked up at the sky.

"You see the stars?" He asked, pointing up to the sky. Hillary gave him an odd look, as if he had just grown another head.

"Yes…" She said, wondering where he was going with this. Very quickly Tyson slid over next to Hillary and grabbed her arm. She sat quietly and extended both his and hers out to the sky, a smile on his face.

"Remember this… No star is out of reach, not for anyone, especially not for you." He said in a rare wise moment. Hillary stared in disbelief at the sky. She had never herd Tyson say something so… touching.

But before she could blink, Tyson said a quick goodnight, let go of her arm and walked inside, heading for bed, leaving a stunned Hillary behind to stare at the starry sky.

-=-=-=-=-=-

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

Later in the day Hillary stood outside her third period classroom, waiting for Tyson to arrive. She usually had to wait, with Tyson's forgetfulness and ability to get lost so easily, but if often wasn't that long. Plus, she didn't mind. Life was too short to get angry over tiny things like that. Another lesson Tyson had taught her.

She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, going over the stuff they had to know for a test next week. But just as she got half way through naming the 20 French verbs they had to memorize, another Tyson flashback made its way into her mind.

It was six month ago, sometime in November. She had been walking out of the high school, arms full of books to study from, when a group of big guys approached her.

"Whach doin, carrying all those stupid books." One guy had drawled, bumping into her on purpose with his shoulder. Two books fell from her arms and landed face down on the ground. Just as she began to lean down to grab them, another one of the guys kicked the books about ten yards away and pushed her shoulder, causing more books to fall.

"Cut it out!" Hillary said in a scared voice, as her body began to shake. The third and final guy grabbed the remaining book from her arms and tossed in to the ground, pushing her backwards at the same time. Whimpering in fright she backed right into the first guy. She turned to see what she had bumped into but the guys punched her in the jaw, sending her reeling to the floor with her head spinning. Her eyes were out of focus as she felt another one of them kick her hard in the back, sending a sharp pain jolting up and down her side. Suddenly her instincts came back to her and she screamed as loud as she could, hoping to attract help. But this outcry just made the guys mad as they began yelling curse words at her and kicking her all over. She curled up into a ball but one of the guys kicked her in the knee, making her legs extend outwards. She screamed again, wishing that some one would come to her rescue.

And all at once she heard another crack of a fist meeting with a jaw, but it wasn't her being attacked. She opened one eyes to see a flurry of movement going on above her. One of her attackers was running away, calling for his two goons to follow. At first one of them ran after his leader, still cursing a river, then the second one.

For the first time Hillary got a gook look at her hero and the sight shocked her.

Tyson stood breathing hard beside her, a streak of blood dripping down his cheek.

She made an attempt to sit up, to help him, but a sudden shot of pain traveled up her side and down her arm. Her face scrunched up in pain and let out a soft groan. Tyson's attention went down to her where Hillary had pulled her legs up to her chest and tears were streaming down her face.

"Are you ok?" He asked franticly, placing a hand on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and looked up into his face, thinking of what to say.

"Thank you." She said softly, a small, painful smile spreading across her face.

-=-=-=-=-=-

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Her eyes snapped open and she returned to the present as she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. Tyson stood smiling goofily, arms crossed.

"Did you fall asleep again?" He teased, gently taking her arm and leading her into the room.

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
