A Gift of Song

Summary: From beginning to end in song. Mac and Harm's past, present and future accompanied by various artists.

Pairing: Um… duh! Mac/Harm

Distribution: If you want it, take it but please warn me and tell me where its going (hhakahyperhappyhotmail.com)

Rating: PG-13 mostly because of alcoholism, and swearing.

Disclaimer: I swear I don't own the people you recognize. I only like to play around with them and make things go my way. DPB owns them along with Paramount and CBS.

Spoilers: Just about everything basically. Some of the cases won't be covered, of course but a lot of the major moments in the lives of Mac and Harm will be.

Author's Note: I'm doing my research for this one but there's no guarantee that I'll get everything right. Please correct me if I make a mistake. Thanks!

Chapter 2
Hold On

Mac

1984

This world

This world is cold

But you don't

You don't have to go

You're feeling sad

You're feeling lonely

And no one seems to care

Your mother's gone and your father hits you

This pain you cannot bear

Another night, another drink, another hangover the next morning. How the hell did I get myself into this mess? Honestly, I swore I would never be like him and look at where I got myself. Ugh! Another gulp goes down my throat as Chris comes to sit beside me, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. Drowning my problems, yep, that's what I'm doing.

But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on its gets better than you know

It was all his fault anyway. I wouldn't have started if he wouldn't have hit me, if she wouldn't have run away. Plus, its really not like I drink all that much anyway. Just enough to make the pain go away. Oh, Chris is kissing me…

Your days

You say they're way too long

And your nights

You can't sleep at all

Hold on

And you're not sure what you're waiting for

But you don't want to no more

And you're not sure what you're looking for

But you don't want to no more

What on earth happened… oh. I'm down to my underwear with Chris on top of me. Passed out again, though I don't know if in this case that's a bad thing. Need… alcohol… I wander to the cabinet where we stash the stuff, gulping from the bottle instead of bothering to pour it into a glass.

But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking, you're one step closer

Don't stop searching, it's not over

Hold on

It feels good going down my throat if with a little bite. Worth it to get away from what I have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. I wonder what Eddie's doing today? I haven't talked to my best friend in a while…

What are you looking for?

What are you waiting for?

Do you know what you're doing to me?

Go ahead

What are you waiting for?

Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on its gets better than you know

Don't stop looking, you're one step closer

Don't stop searching, it's not over

Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on it gets better tan you know

Hold on

--------------------

Not my best work… I couldn't figure out what to write for this one because I wanted to cover her alcoholism and Chris but without the later stuff…

Hope you enjoyed this more than I enjoyed writing it!

Hold on is Good Charlotte.
