Depend On Me - Chapter 8 - My Immortal
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your prescence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone.
Noah and Kit both went to sleep different people that night. The roles in their strange relationship had turned around completley. Noah remembered how a few weeks ago Kit had been so in love with him but his pride had stepped in the way and he'd said so many things he regretted now. Deep down he just wanted her to be happy and if that was how Kim made Kit feel then he would learn to get used to it. However much it hurt.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
Kit woke up the next morning to find that Noah was already awake. She looked over at him, she was concerned.
"you okay Noah" she asked.
"Hmm." Noah muttered breaking out of his trance and looking over at Kit.
"I asked if you were okay and are you"
"Just peachy." Noah said with no emotion. "What more could I want than this"
Kit felt guilty she wasn't exactly helping him to feel better but it wasn't as if he hadn't hurt her either.
"Noah."she said getting up and going to sit next to him. "I'm sorry if I hurt you with what I said last night, I didn't mean to make you feel that. I still love you but I can only be your friend, I'm always here for you."
Noah smiled a little. "Why does love have to hurt so much"
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you scream I'd wipe away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years but...
You still have all of me.
Kit helped Noah to take his painkillers and she got him into his wheelchair and they went out of the house.
Noah brightened a little bit at seeing all the things that he loved about Summer Bay. He felt himself relax as he listened to the waves until he realised that Kit was waving to someone.
You used to captivate me
With your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams.
Your voice, it chased away all of the sanity in me.
Noah observed the way that Kim looked at Kit. He looked at her the same way that Noah felt about her. He felt bad for not treating Kit the way that she deserved to be treated. He realised that it was his fault tha was with Kim now and not him. All he had ever wanted was her happiness and that was all he wanted now too.
These wounds won't seem to heal.
This pain is just too real.
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
Kit took a sideways glance at Noah as Kim ran up to them. She hadn't thought that they would meet Kim. She felt a rush of guilt as Kim came up to and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey Noah! How's it going? It's good to see you around"
"Thanks Kim." Noah replied. " It's good to be back, hospitals aren't exactly my favourite places"
The three of them laughed. Noah decided that if Kit had to be with another guy, Kim would be one of the best. He was a nice guy and would make her happy. Still Noah couldn't ignore the emptiness inside.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you scream I'd wipe away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years but...
You still have all of me.
They parted from Kim and next they went to the Drop In Centre. Flynn stood up to welcome them. Noah had missed the DIC since he'd been in hospital and couldn't wait to come back. Even though his life had been turned upside at least he could still do his counselling job.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along.
Back at the Palace Kit and Noah drank Noah together in an understanding and friendly silence. They both jumped as the phone rang. Kit went to answer it.
"It was Hayley. She says she'll be back in 10 minutes. I guess this is my cue to go."
Kit gathered up the few things that she had brought with her. She walked over to Noah.
"Do I get a hug?" she asked. Noah was slightly taken aback but held her close to him all the same.
A huge thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed! Peace out! xxxx
