Disclaimer: I still don't own Artemis Fowl or Avril Lavigne. So there.
Author's Note: Hey! It's everyone's favorite author whose name starts with A and ends with MyShadows. Back in action with another chapter of the song ficcy! I know, I know, you all love me for this. Also two little things : 1) Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception is finally out in stores! I just got it and my review stars and more! 2) This is the first chapter to use some language, so to all those who take offense I apologize. Now start reading!
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Holly bit her lip and paced around the outside of his home. They hadn't spoken for months, again...she felt so frustrated at the boy, expecting her and LEP officer to apologize to him, a lowly mud boy. She sat down on the porch of his house and began tracing words into the dirt. First she put her name, underneath is she put his, and the she proceeded to beat the shit out of it with a stick.
Don't leave me hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
It was so stupid really. The two of them fighting. Everyone knew they were a match made in heaven, or whatever else you believed in. She just didn't want to accept the responsibility of having to be in a real relationship, which seemed to be all he wanted. She couldn't exactly blame him, he had never really had a normal life, of course, she hadn't either and that didn't mean she was ready to run off and get married at the first chance.
"You were all the things I thought I knew," she could remember him saying to her. She gripped her chest as if it made her heart hurt to remember the sadness in his voice when she told him she just wasn't ready. "And I thought we could be"
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it, but we lost it
And all of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
With the way things were going it looked as if neither of them would be getting that happy ending they had each dreamed about. (Holly knew he dreamed about it, even if he wouldn't admit it.) There was only one option for the girl and that as to apologize to him, but her pride just wouldn't allow her to cave in that easy.
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
Butler and Juliet were no doubt on his side. They had thought that this relationship, if it could have even been called that, was a mistake. Holly was a loose cannon and Artemis was tempermental. There was no way that sort of pairing could ever work, never in either of their lifetimes.
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do,
All the shit that you do
She could remember clearly now what they were fighting about. She had found his secret stash of LEP weaponry and memory inducers. He had been hiding from her the fact that he already knew who she was. It really was pointless, she knew that and he did to. She didn't want to be fighting with him, she just wanted him to love her and for her to love him in return.
"You were all the things I thought I knew," Holly whispered to herself sadly. "And I thought we could be."
You were everything, everything that I wanted, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it, but we lost it
And all of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
"I'm an idiot," Holly whispered. "I gave up something so great just because my pride refused to believe the truth. I was the wrong one in this situation. I have to apologize."
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
Holly stood up again and turned to the door with a smile on her face. She took a deep breath and knocked once, listening closely to the soft pattering of feet. The door opened and she was face to face with the boy.
He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
"I'm sorry, I was an idiot..." She stammered.
"Sorry for what?" He said, pretending not to remember anything. "You returning is apology enough."
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending.
"You know," she said as he led her back into the house. "I have always loved you."
Author's Note: I know, I know, totally sappy. But what else could you expect? I did say that this would include lots of fluff, right? Now review people, let me know what you think and what you think the next song should be. I sometimes take your advice.
