This is an alternate version of my story "Breathe no more". It's
more cheerful than it's counterpart and hasa squint of humor at
the end. I hope you all enjoy.
It's dedicated to Fox-San. I hope you like the twist. Everyone
please check out her website. The adress is in my profile.
There's a twist to this story at the end.
Since you've Been Gone
Anzu watched them talking happily side-by-side. They were
out in the park in plain view. It was such a beautiful day to be in
love. Yeah right what a joke. Serenity was so lucky. A loving
boyfriend, dedicated brother, good friends and what did she have
after everything went down? Nothing but grief. Well that wasn't
entirely true. She now had the truth, which was that they were
never her friends and he never loved her.
Here's the thing
We started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
When she had dated him he had kept her secluded from
everything and everyone. Her blood boiled at the sight. He was
being so sweet to her ex-best friend. It was so unfair that she had
fallen for him. The so-called 'King of games' was nothing but a
lying jerk. He had made her feel so in love, so special but had
taken it away as if it never meant anything, as if she never meant
anything.
You dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
She watched them start their picnic with nothing but smiles. It
made her sick. After everything she had done for him and them,
she had been thrown out like garbage. Well at least she wasn't
completely alone. No, she had Ryou, Bakura and there was always
Malik. Afterher friendsexcluded her, she had sought refuge in
Ryou. But having his body taken over by a psycho at the time had
its reprecautions. She managed to get along with him and with
their friend, Malik. It was strange how she could like the people
who once tried to kill her along with everyone else, but they
explained how she was just in the line of fire when she shouldn't
have been. It made sense going after those your target cared about.
Emphasizing the past.
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
Since you been gone
Memories came back from when she had backed Yami and Yugi
for they were still sharing a body. She wondered how Serenity
could handle them both. She herself had only loved Yami but
Serenity seemed to have a thing for them both. Funny how she
didn't feel all too bad about it now. Of course after screaming her
head off and plotting ways to get her revenge things started to look
better. She had true friends who were a little scary at times but
protected her and cared for her.
How can I put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way
She no longer had to worry about the end of the world or
supporting a bunch of losers who chose the pair in front of her
instead of their long life friend. She looked at them and couldn't
help but pity the girl. She knew for a fact that he would tire of her
and betray her as well. But then again she didn't. It would be
great to see the face she would have on when she found out and
had everyone fighting because of it. She couldn't help but wonder
whom Joey would choose and who would try to kill Yami first,
Duke or Tristan. She knew that Kaiba wasn't an option seeing as
he was dating Ishizu at the moment.
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
Since you been gone
You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
Everyone seemed to be happy with someone and so was she. She
lowered her head and strutted out of the park never looking back.
She was happy now or as happy as she could possibly be at the
moment. She made her way home even as it rained. She smiled to
herself seeing the light of the porch turn on and Malik come out
holding a towel for her. She smiled even more seeing Serenity and
Yami make a dash for his house, which was a few blocks away
from where she was right now. They looked so funny running,
especially since Yami had made a dash for it leaving Serenity
trailing behind him getting soaked by the minute. She let Malik
take her in his arms and lead her inside; she smiled to herself
happy that Yami was gone from her life.
Since you been gone (since you been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know) that I get
I get what I want
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Morgan: So like it? Tell me but remember no flames. I hope it was
better than the other one. I liked it and hope you did too. I heard
that song this morning while watching videos and couldn't get it
out of my head so I looked it up on the Internet and wrote the
story. Short but sweet. 'Til next time.
