Part Three, the shortest of them all. A little boring, but a necessary setup. Lots of song interlude, standard disclaimers. Avril Lavigne and Jekyll and Hyde.
Part Three
Tala's POV
People say that life is ruled by Fate. That Lady Destiny knows all that has been and all that will be and incorporates the two. 'No wrong shall go unpunished.' Fate's a bitch with a grudge. Either that, or I really pissed someone off.
Whichever, I just wanted to shout 'I'm sorry! Lay off already!' But that would just be stupid, and if this whole mess is the doing of some higher force, I refuse to give them the satisfaction of letting them see that their little game was working. This statement will now be followed by a nervous, slightly crazed giggle. I swear, I'm not crazy. The skY Is OrANgE!
Sometimes, I wish I was crazy. Then I wouldn't have to feel this way, wouldn't have to deal with my life. Then I could welcome the darkness, and I could escape this cold that creeps into my heart, taking over my soul. But no crazy person can wonder if they're insane.
I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is there anybody here I know
Cause nothings going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't someone please take me home?
Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind . . .
Kai's POV
I sat in the car, engine off, staring ahead. Not one hundred yards away, I could see it. The place that's haunted me my entire life, where I left my best friend to rot. I glance at my rearview mirror, fighting my reflection. I can't leave him any longer. I promised I wouldn't come back for him. In everyone's life, there's a moment when they wish decisions were made for them. This is my moment.
This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this moment
This precious chance
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last
This is the moment
What do I do? I thought I had everything I wanted. I thought I had buried myself in the lies, that I was convinced what I had done was right. Glancing down at my lap, I open my fist, looking down at the necklace that glares at me from my palm.
You promised me you'd be fine, that you'd come find me as soon as it was all over. But it's been so long Tala. Where are you? You didn't keep your promise, does that mean I have to keep mine?
I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't someone please take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I'm with you
Two bright spots of light lit the shadows of the side road as an engine roared. The boy inside clenched his jaw tight, shifting into gear. The headlights swept along the road as the vehicle began to move towards the menacing building, its final destination.
