"...Love's a funny thing." -Spike, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'

-Catch me

As I fall

Say you're here

And it's all over now-

Tru Davies laid alone in a dark room, staring longingly outside. So bright and full of life, naivety, and love. She stood and went over to the window, closing the shade. Heh, love. She turned away and went back to her bed, but the darkness consumed everything, making the bed just a slight silhouette in the room. She laid back down. She had woken up in this place, but didn't care for how she got there. Her eyes, black, and empty, stared at the wall straight ahead. Minutes passed before the door opened slowly. A woman walked in, peering at Tru. Tru looked to the woman. "Can you close the door, please?"

-Speaking

To the utmost fear

No ones here

As I fall into myself-

The woman closed the door and went to sit at the edge of the bed. Tru reached over to the lamp on the night stand. As it clicked on, she flinched at the light. The woman got a good look at her. She was unbelievably pale, bags under her brown eyes, her brown hair streaked with dirt, and her clothes were filthy and torn. The woman looked shocked as she spoke. "I'm Gwen. I brought you here. Do you have a name?"

Tru sat up and avoided making eye-contact with Gwen. "I'm..." She began solemnly. She sighed heavily before beginning again. "I'm....Liz." She lied. She didn't trust this girl enough to tell this person her real name, granted she did give her a place to stay. But, Tru stayed mute.

-This truth

Drives me

Into

Madness-

"Well, Liz, you can stay here if you want." Gwen offered, but Tru stayed quiet, not phased by it. Gwen pitied her, this girl she had found not too far out of town. At first Gwen had thought she was dead, but she was still breathing and there were no visible wounds, so she didn't take her to the hospital (besides, the nearest hospital was over a hour away). "Why don't I get you some clean clothes, okay?"

Tru nodded, but still seemed to be somewhere else. Gwen got up and made her way back to the door. Tru glanced at her. Gwen was obviously trying to help her. Tru finally spoke up before Gwen left the room. "Can I have some water?"

Gwen nodded and left, closing the door. Tru looked around the room. A great deal larger than it looked in the dark. There were no dressers or mirrors, but there was a bathroom, and closet. She got up and walked towards the bathroom. She closed the door behind her and flicked on the light switch. Who she saw in the mirror she barely recognized, compared to the girl she was just days before....the last time she was actually happy and content. All that happened after that was a blur. The girl she was before the last time she saved a life.

-I know I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

If I will it all away-

She pushed the thoughts away as she turned back around and left the bathroom, turning the light off. She sat on the side of the bed, waiting for Gwen to come back in. Moments later, she entered, a fresh set of clothes and cup of water in her hands. She walked over to Tru and gave her the water, setting down the clothes beside her. Tru sipped some of the water and put it down on the night stand. She picked up the clothes and turned to Gwen. "I'm gonna go take a shower."

"Okay." Gwen answered and soon left the room. Tru got back up and felt something poking her in her pocket, she reached in and pulled it out. It was a key. Flashes of the days before came all at once to her.

Tru: You can't leave, not now...

???: I'm sorry it has to be like this.

Tru: But it doesn't!

-Don't turn away

Don't try to hide

Don't close your eyes

Don't turn out the light-

She closed her eyes, pushing the memories away. A single tear dropped, nothing more. She took a deep breath and walked into the bathroom shutting the door behind her and turned on the water in the shower. In her mind, she thought the pain of what had happened to her would go away. But her heart told her it was eternal. It would stay with her forever....
