A/N: Yeah yeah, another Charox story. What can I say? I love em, I ship em, heck, I'm obsessed with em. I'm surprised that no one's arrested me over-obsession yet. Well, whatever, enjoy the story.
It was a cold June night. The wind blew fiercely throughout the quiet town of Glen Oak.
It was well past midnight. The sky was a shade of black with many stars filling it.
Everyone was sleeping. Well, almost everyone. There were two people in the local park.
The two just sat there in the cold, holding each other closely.
Here we are, in the dead of night
They were a man and a woman. Both holding on to the night's last hours.
This was because the woman was going away as soon as the sun came up. On morning's light, she'd be stepping onto a bus and out of the man's life for what could be forever.
Will you keep me warm and hold me tight
The woman snuggled closer and deeper into the man's arms. She leaned her head deep into his shoulder and savored the scent of his shirt. This was the man she loved. She wanted to be with him forever.
But she would be gone soon.
Why was fate so cruel?
All we have is until the dawn
He felt his shirt becoming wet with her tears.
He hugged her tightly. Her long blonde hair rested near his face. He kissed her gently on the head. She was beautiful
Let the night be long and ease the dawn
He stroked her hair as she cried softly into his shirt. A chilling breeze came over them.
I love you more than you'll ever know
It hurts to see you go
"Darling, stop crying," he whispered to her gently.
She looked up at him. Her eyes were red and puffy and her face was flushed. She clutched upon his shirt for dear life.
"But, I'll never see you again," she cried.
"Don't talk like that, you will. One day, we'll cross paths again," he replied, kissing her cheek.
She managed to put on a small smile.
So darling sing me a lullaby
Bittersweet goodbye
A few hours passed. Time seemed to slip away. It made them both sad.
They just wanted it to be that night forever. Forget the next day, forget the future.
The present was forever.
Don't think about the future now, these few hours
He looked at his watch. 5:56 am. The sun would rise pretty soon.
Any minute now.
Any minute the love of his life would be gone.
Gone for who knows how long.
He felt his grip tighten on her. He loved her, she loved him. They were perfect together. Meant to be.
Why was she leaving?
Let the nighttime envelop us, take us under
Bewitching spell, bewitching spell
The light came into view. The sun slowly began to rise.
It was 6:00 am.
Here we are, in the dead of night
Won't see you past the morning light
She saw the sun and cried softly. He did the same.
They held each other closely and tightly.
"No, I don't want to go," she cried.
"It's too late to change things, you have to," he said.
She hugged him tighter. Why did he have to be right?
So darling sing me a lullaby
Bittersweet goodbye
They both looked at each other and stood up. Time to face the music.
They hugged tightly. Then they shared a soft kiss.
They looked each other in the eyes.
"I love you, Chandler."
"I love you too, Roxanne."
Then they walked into separate directions.
Remember me when you're away
A/N: And that's the end. Hope you enjoyed it. Please review!
