I've been thinking about this for ages and ages. I think it needs work. And there was more. But it was written on the back of my maths folder, and I can't read bits. Oh crap I handed that it...
SLASH FS
I own nothing
Is that it? Oh no, wait!
Dedicated (that the word?)to Snow White Edwards. I miss you and always will, and so does little Elijah!
Stay
"You can't leave." I blink away tears, smile instead.
"I have to, Sam. It's the only way"
"No," He breathes, then louder, almost shouting. "No! You were getting better all... all by yourself. Last time, you were better, you were better before the end of the day!" I shake my head, and open my mouth, but I can't think of anything to say in reply.
He's crying now, tears thicken his voice and wet his face. "You promised! You made a promise to me, Frodo! You promised you'd stay here, with-" He pauses and lowers his voice. "With me."
"I thought I could, Sam. I truly believed that... I'm sorry, so, so, sorry..." I feel helpless, and can do nothing but brush away his falling tears with my thumb. He closes his eyes and leans into my hand.
"Ain't there anything you can do?" He askes me after a pause, eyes wide and glistening.
Yes. I'll stay with you. I'll do anything, just stop crying, please.
Instead I sigh, and close my own eyes.
"You were a ringbearer too, Sam. You'll be able to follow... in time"
He shakes his head, no, again and again, and I can do nothing but hold him in my arms, and whisper promises of reunion in later years into his brown curls. He shakes his head again. "Stay. Stay with me"
And then I realise that my heart is torn in two. Torn between the sea, the siren song she sings, of promises of relief on the shores that lay beyond her. And a life in the Shire, filled with haunting memories, filled with pain I shan't forget. But filled with Samwise Gamgee. The Hobbit I love.
