Note: I am SO sorry! ¦bows down miserably whining¦ I know I said I'd get this next chappie for you by the end of next week but I kinda got tied up with revision! I'm so sorry! Plus, my PC was going bonkers 'cause it got bugged down… so I'm using another one now ;-. Uh… thanks for being so patient and understanding you guys! ¦-) ¦hug¦ Um… so on with the story? Lol. I don't know if I'll be able to finish during this chappie, but I'll see how it goes, sorry for drawing it out so long! Thanks again for all your reviews! ¦-x
Um… this is another song ficcy: the artist is Dashboard Confessional Lyrics ¦-) though slightly changed to suit the story ¦-D (He to He! ¦p)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything! Honest… well at least not anything to do with Demon Diary apart from a few books! ¦-D

Raenef POV
It's been so strange, these last two days, I mean – everybody's been helping out to make this ball a blast, so that's been fine, but… I haven't seen Eclipse at all! Have I done something wrong? ¦nibbles thumb childishly¦ I only caught a glimpse of him earlier this morning but he was gone before I could say anything!
He said "I've gotta be honest,
You're wasting your time if you're fishing round here."
And I said "you must be mistaken,
Cause I'm not fooling...this feeling is real"
He said...he said "you gotta be crazy,
What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?
"No, you've got wits, you've got looks,
You've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong."
All wrong.
All wrong.
But you got me...
What have I done wrong that's pushed Eclipse away when I need him the most? I can't do this ball on my own! I – I'll crumble! I – I need to find him and talk to him!
I'll be true, I'll be useful...
I'll be cavalier...I'll be yours my dear.
And I'll belong to you...
If you'll just let me through.
This is easy as lovers go,
So don't complicate it by hesitating.
And this is wonderful as loving goes,
This is tailor-made, whets the sense in waiting?
And I said "I've gotta be honest
I've been waiting for you all my life."
As I try to move away from the grand hall where I'm helping everyone with the decors, I feel small but firm arms encircle my waist, and involuntarily, I say 'hi' to the ground.
I'd forgotten that I still had Leeche with me
"Mmph! Leeche!" I cry indignantly as I try to pry her arms from me before she strangles me half to death again. "I – I need to find Eclipse! Please, please get off me!" I beg, and when I look down to face her, I see her eyes well, and I gulp. "Now Leeche – please don't cry! Please!"
"WAH! YOU WANT TO GET RID OF ME!" she begins to bawl and I exhale in thick exasperation, looking to bystanders pleadingly. ¦Get her off me, get her off me! PLEASE!¦ I can't stand to see anyone cry… but… Eclipse is more important than this!
The ball is… it's only three hours away and – I – I need him there with me!
That's when I caught sight of a flash of black robes that I know I'd recognise anywhere!
ECLIPSE!
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
And being with you here makes me sane;
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.
You've got wits...you've got looks,
You've got passion but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?
Tonight.
Tonight.
But you've got me...
I'll be true, I'll be useful...
I'll be cavalier...I'll be yours my dear.
And I'll belong to you...
If you'll just let me through.
¦¦¦
5 minutes later
I am thoroughly exhausted.
It feels as if I had to wrestle through all the elements of hell just to get Leeche off of me and now – I'm still trying to get her off my tail! I have to dodge her while I search for the elusive Eclipse also! I'm so nervous! I think I must be nearing an emotional and mental breakdown!
Leeche definitely doesn't help and my suddenly-always-disappearing tutor nowhere in sight doesn't help much either!
I wonder… what he's doing. Or who he's with…

Why do I feel… upset when I think of Eclipse with somebody else? I – I mean, it's not like… me and him are anything, but I wished… I wished that we were though. I mean, I – I have to work up the courage to tell him otherwise I'll go insane. I just know that I will.
I need Eclipse with me, and… I have to tell him tonight. I need to sort everything out and – I need to, work up the… bravery – to tell Leeche to… leave me alone. Even though she'll kill me, but I think, I could be brave enough to do it for him.
¦¦¦
Sorry I stretched the song fic a bit here, but I'll try and find a better accompanying song for it later! Sorry – it's just that I love that song! Apparently it's meant to have appeared on Shrek 2 ¦-) but as of yet, I still haven't had anyone else that recognises it from there lol
Anyway, uh… sorry for the crappy chappie, and long update, but I'll try and do the follow-up soon!
