Disclaimer: Unless I was a six year old super genius who happened to know about military life and protocol, I don't own the show. I am just a 15 year old trying to pass Honors Chemistry, and Honors Algebra II. Trust me it's hard. I also don't own the song. I don't know exactly when they started playing the song but for my purposes we'll say it's around the episode Take It Like A Man.
Harm and Mattie were having a night out together. They were on their way back home from the movies when a song started playing.
"Turn it up Harm I love this song." Mattie said as she reached to turn the radio up. It was the new song by Seether featuring Amy Lee.
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Harm started listen to the song. He identified with the words. It was the way he felt about Mac, his best friend. Or at least he thought they were still best friends. They used to laugh and joke around all of the time. He loved her laugh. It was like music to his ears. Whenever she was hurting physically or emotionally Harm wanted to be the one in pain for her. He kept a picture of Mac on his bedside table. He would look at it and think back to when they were still two best friends like batman and robin they were flyboy and ninja girl.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel rite when you're gone away
You're gone away; you don't feel me here anymore
It was starting to scare Harm; the way the lyrics voiced his feelings about his marine, at least the woman he wanted to be his marine. He always felt so alone when she was away on some kind of mission. He always felt that the two of them belonged together. That was why Harm gave up everything to save her in Paraguay. He knew it sounded a little selfish but could a person blame him?
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
He thought the worst was over when he was in Paraguay when he had rescued her. But it wasn't. He still had a lot to learn about Sarah MacKenzie. He wanted to learn more about her but she wasn't willing to fight, at least not any more.
"Harm, Harm. Earth to Harm are you there?" Mattie said. She had been talking about the movie that the song was for but Harm had tuned out. He was in his own world.
"What?" Harm asked the fourteen year old sitting next to him.
"Did you hear a single word I said?"
"Sorry Mattie I was just..."
"thinking about Mac." Mattie completed his sentence for him. "Whenever you tune out like that you're thinking about Mac."
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. All reviews are welcome especially constructive criticism. Maybe it will help me write better for my Honors English II class. I am thinking about doing another chapter with Mac listening to the song. I don't know.
