A/n: This is my first fan fiction so please give a review even if you didn't like it as long as its not to harsh.
A/n: Lucy has been living with Jeremy (they where never married) for three years. She finally realizes that things aren't going to work out with them. This is story takes place when she leaves him.
"Goodbye"
"Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes but
I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by…"
"I'm sorry," she whispered tears welling up in her eyes, "This just wasn't meant to be. I thought…I thought I loved you Jeremy.
"Luce-" he started.
"No. I'm sorry but I gave 'us' a chance. I moved out here to New York for you. I tried Jeremy, for three years."
"…I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing
Are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing I tried to hold on to…"
She was staring into his eyes. She could see the hurt and pain that was there, and she knew if she didn't leave now she'd never get away. Lucy did love him, just not as she should. Not as passionate as before all the yelling, screaming, and name-calling.
"…I still get lost your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you…"
"Goodbye Jeremy." Lucy said as she picked up her bags and walked over to the door. Her tears threatening to fall.
"Lucy wait! Maybe we should talk this over. We could try a counselor or something…" Jeremy trailed off.
Still facing the door she closed her eyes. It sounded like a good idea.
"…Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But its not right…"
"Jeremy…" her voice faltered as she turned towards him. Lucy knew she had to end it.
"…Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine I want you
But I'm not giving in this time…"
"No. Three years was long enough we tried. Goodbye," she turned back to the door walking out to where the taxi cab was waiting to take her to the airport.
"Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing I tried to hold on to
The one thing I tried to hold on to…"
Home. She was finally back home in Glen Oak. But even though she was clear across the country Jeremy was still in her head, her problems hadn't gone away just because she had come home to her mother and father. They weren't even expecting Lucy. There would be questions, lots of questions. She'd avoid them until she was good and ready to talk.
She got her luggage from the baggage claim, then walked out of the airport and hailed another cab and caught a ride home. By the time she had arrived it was dusk. The stars where starting to come out, it was a beautiful, clear night. The kind of night when she and Jeremy use to lay out in the back yard and star gaze. She could feel the tears coming again.
They arrived at the house the driver helpe get her bags out of the trunk , she paid him and he drove off leaving her in front of her house. But she didn't want to go in, not just yet. So she snuck around the back and sat on the steps, staring up at the stars, and she finally let the silent tears fall down.
"… And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star."
