Chapter Five – Love Awakens

i I'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
(caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
every step that I take is another mistake to you i

Aelita awoke to a song on the radio next to Jeremie's bed, Jeremie's heart rate hadn't changed and Aelita was becoming more and more hopeless...

i

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you i

Aelita closed her eyes again, strangely she swore she felt a hand stroke her hair, she spun around expecting Yumi, Odd or Ulrich to be there, but no one was there...

i

Can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought I would be
has fallen apart right in front of you
i

Aelita heard a beeping sound and she spun around to see Jeremie sitting up with his heart rate normal... "Aelita... what are you doing here?" "I stayed here over night to make sure you were ok, I couldn't bear it if something happened to you!"

i

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
every step that I take is another mistake to you
(caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
and every second I waste is more than I can take
i

"That's really sweet Aelita, thank you, but why me? I never knew you cared so much." "Well... I... I..." but before she could finish Jeremie pressed his lips against hers...

i

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you
i

Aelita's head was spinning, Jeremie's lips were soft and loving, she gasped for air and then they continued to kiss, Jeremie smiled...

i

But I know
I may end up failing too
but I know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you
i

Eventually they broke away, Aelita smiled, "I love you..." "I love you too Aelita..."

i

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you
i

They finally admitted it! YAY! Please R&R as usual!
