With the bright lights shinning before her, she stepped on stage before a crowed club. Everyone came just to see her, the Mysterious Mockingbird as some called her. Those who came to the club regularly saw her often. She came alone and left alone, always singing songs of heartbreak. She appeared to be a young woman in her early 20s, but her voice and emotions gave everyone reason to believe that she was much older and was more mature than any other 20 year old.
Every person that ever saw her never forgot her face. She covered herself up mysteriously from day one, as if she wouldn't let her walls down for anyone. Coming into the club that night, she slowly removed her scarlett hood that practically covered her face. Her long brown tresses ruffled a bit as her hood fell to her petite shoulders. With a gentle push back of her head, her hair scattered away from her face, now revealing her true beauty. Her eyes always struck you instantly. The pain and heartbreak behind them almost made you weep. You didn't know her story, but if didn't matter. You sympathyized with her for no real reason.
Her chocolate, brown eyes appeared as cold as ice when they should have been full of life. Many wondered what could have caused this beautiful, young girl to turn cold as ice. So many people wanted to ask her what happened, why she always sings songs of such heartbreak, but no one ever got a chance. As soon as she would appear to sing her song, she would disappear just as quickly. No one ever knew where she was coming from or going to, it was a mystery just as her name. She had been introduced as Lady Sorrow from day one, but even so she gained a new nickname from her admirers.
"Let's give a warm welcome for Lady Sorrow!" The announcer said as he moved backstage, clearing the way for her.
The crowd went wild as they heard her name being announced, but as she appeared on stage they all grew silent, in awe of her beauty. She loved how she was able to control them with just her very presence. She figured at least she could control some things in her life. Taking a seat on the stool before the audience, she adjusted the microphone to her mouth. Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes she began.
[b]Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head [/b]
[i]"What are you doing here?" he asked a little annoyed that she was still coming around. It had been almost a year since he had married Gwen, and yet Theresa was still chasing after him, hoping that they would share a future together someday.
"I know you told me to stay away," she said as she lowered her head so he couldn't see the tears in her eyes, "but I can't stay away, Ethan. I can't stay away from you when you belong with me."
Ethan rolled his eyes as she continued to ramble on about how fate has brought them together in past. It was all old and he didn't want to hear it. Gwen was his wife, the mother of his poor little Sarah.Sarah's death changed everything. It made him realize where his priorities really were.[/i]
[b]Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me[/b]
As she sang her song she seemed miles away. As though she was in another land, perhaps one that she dreamed of.
[i]"Tell me the truth, Ethan. Tell me you love me, that you want me, not Gwen, as your wife," Theresa begged with him. She knew that Ethan still had strong feelings for her, she just couldn't understand why he was denying them.
"I would be lying to you if I told you that, Theresa. I love Gwen, not you."
"Don't lie, Ethan," she said as she moved in on him. "Just wrap me in your arms, you know you want to. Don't deny what is real, don't deny our love."[/i]
[b]Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't[/b]
[i]"How can I make you see the truth, Ethan? Please, tell me."
Ethan looking at her as though he pittied her said, "I already know the truth, Theresa. It's you that doesn't."[/i]
[b]Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't[/b]
[i]Standing outside in the pouring rain, Theresa put her heart on the line for the last time. She had to stop Ethan from getting into his car and taking off to the airport. She needed to profress her love for him one last time before it was too late.
"Ethan!" She cried out as she ran to his car. "You can't leave! I won't let you!"
"Theresa, your young and beautiful, don't do this. There is someone else out there for you, someone who is worthy of your love."
"No," she cried, "there's only you! Your the only one for me."
"I'm sorry, Theresa," Ethan said as he motioned for the driver to leave. "Goodbye, Theresa."[/i]
[b]I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight[/b]
[i]Theresa jumped into her car to chase after him. She couldn't give up no matter how much she tried. Ethan was a part of her, always would be. There was no way she could let him slip through her fingers like grains of sand. She lost him once before, this time she wasn't giving up without a fight.
The rain increased as did her speed. She didn't care if she was breaking any laws, getting to Ethan in time was the only thing that really mattered. The roads became sleek from all the rain and as Theresa was curving around a road her car went off the road, landing in an empty area of grass.[/i]
Breathing rapidly, Theresa sat up in her bed after dreaming that horrible nightmare. She couldn't get over how real it all seemed. As she reached for her light, she felt nothing. A cold breeze swept through her room as she search for some kind of light. After searching for a few moments in the dark it hit her...she wasn't at home. Trying to speak she found herself unable to say a word. Growing very concerned she crawled out of bed although it hurt to move the slightest bit. She opened a door that lead out to what appeared to be a nurse's station. Everything finally came to her...it wasn't a nightmare.
"Miss, get back in your bed!" A nurse yelled. "You need your rest after that accident."
Theresa tried to speak, but once more nothing came out.
"Don't try to talk, dear," a nicer nurse said as she walked Theresa back to her bed. "The doctor will be here in the morning to explain everything to you. Until then, if you need anything just press the nurse's button. Over here is a pad and pencil for you to write anything that you want to say," she said showing her it. "Remember," she said as she was leaving, "don't try to talk. It's very important that you don't."
[i]Try not to talk? What's going on? Why can't I talk?[/i]
