Thankx to of you who have reviewed so far :-) Appreciate it :-D
Some of you have probably read this from my Live Journal...link in my info.
This is a semi-song fic. Lyrics will appear in only a few of the parts with the final set of lyrics in the sequel, if I can ever get it completed.
Enjoy :)
PART 8You look up from the dinner plate. Silence. Everywhere there is silence. Just when you find a reason to laugh again, it is taken away. Daniel Pierce, your father, politely ignores you from across the table. The idea strikes to pretend to choke to death, try to see if he still cares for his son. So tempting, but you couldn't bear the chance that he might just sit there and watch.
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all
Briefly you had wondered if you were going to go into practice with your father. Now you realize that you could care less. Why be subjected to more Hell?
The days drag by and blend with one another. Your father had started talking again to you, but his dialogue was stiff and formal, like talking to a stranger instead of a son. 'Get on with your life!' a voice kept saying to you. But how can you when you have already forgotten how?
A letter, a call, you wait for something, something that you know won't come. Correspondence did work both ways, but you have no idea what you would say to him, and feel that he has the same problem.
Did you say no this can't happen to me?
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind, in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you don't know him at all...
Laying in bed alone, a tear slides down your cheek.
Maybe you don't know him at all....
That morning, you came to a decision!
A brief note was written, a few bags were packed, and no good-byes said, or regrets felt...
TBC??
I am working on a sequel, titled The Last Goodbye. You can find a teaser at my live journal.
