Hi all, I know a lot of you have been anxiously awaiting a new chapter for this one! I apologize for taking so long I know it's been like 3 months or so but this chapter needed a lot of work. A new one will be coming very fast however because I got the characters out of the graveyard finally! Yay! I would also like to thank all the wonderful reviewers and HiddenOperaAngel for the correct spelling of Weldon, heh ya big fan not a big speller as some of u can tell. I would also like to thank her for all the lovely reviews and for the fanism! Woot!
For those of you who would like to know. Lunar Phases should be updated in the next couple-a-weeks too, the new chaper should be really good so yeah….
Kay I know you guys know that this fic is based on 'Never Again' by Nickelback but I decided to add another song because I love this song. so there. Ha you can't stop me!
Disclaimer. don't own any Weldon characters or anything by Mutant Enemy if I did I would get Oz back on tv hahaha
Disclaiming the song too: don't own the song, so don't sue me… it's by the Offspring… I love it! I really think those of you who like the lyrics should check it out. The Offspring's greatest hits c.d. came out a month ago and it's my favorite c.d. at the moment. The song is called 'Gone Away' and I don't own that or anything made produced etc… by the band The Offspring…. Sigh all done now, here's the new chappie!
CHAPTER 2: IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY AM I STILL SPINNING?
Oz ran to catch up with Tara. The rain came down in sheets. He slipped on the wet grass and almost fell before he caught up with her. Her pale white arms were shaking and dripping with water as he approached. He walked behind her for a second, wondering if he should really be there. Finally he took a large step and put his hand on her shoulder. His mind flashed with the memory of Willow, smiling up at him. She wouldn't want him to ignore her. But she took his Will away.
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away
before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfair
Tara turned around when she felt the heat of Oz's hand. She stared at him for a second, tears mixed with rain drops were dripping off her chin. Her chest heaving with pent up sobs. Her wet hair stuck to her face. Then she made an attempt to keep moving, but Oz held on.
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it
feels, yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that
you've gone away
"hey…" he said quietly. He looked into her eyes, striking green eyes hitting hazel. At first all that he could sense was sadness, deep and cold. Then he caught a hint of fear and imedatly released her, remembering the last time he had encountered the tall medium built women. Remembering the attack. "I'm sorry" he sad finally." Tara hadn't moved. She stared into his eyes.
Leaving flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
But
black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from
me
He was different. Sure he was a man, but he wasn't silly like Xander or 'posh' like Spike. He was defiantly NOT like her father. He was so calm. She wondered idly if that's why Willow had chose him, but her mind flashed with the figure of her dead girlfriend on the carpet splattered with blood… she shuttered, breaking eye contact and settled back onto staring at her shoes.
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could
trade
I would
Tara waited another few seconds and noticed how sick Oz looked. "don't be, it just hit me back there that she… wasn't coming back. Then I remembered what happened that night and it just became too much" She said shyly. She wasn't too used to talking with guys and she hoped she had said something right.
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it
stings, yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've
gone away
Oz nodded, "understandable." He smiled slightly at her through the rain. He noticed that she was shivering and offered her his coat, which she took gratefully. Do you want a ride home it's kinda dark and I didn't see a car." Oz asked looking around.
Gone away, gone away, yeah yeah yeah...
Tara was about to nod when she thought of something. She no longer had a home. She and Willow lived at the Summer's residence. Now that Willow was gone and she had sold her apartment again, she was stuck with nowhere to go. She looked up at Oz whos gaze had wandered to where Willow was now buried, his eyes had misted over. Tara wondered what he could have possibly been thinking, asking his ex's ex if she needed a ride home. She suddenly realized how dark it was. Rain was still pouring from the dark sky. A full moon peaked through the back clouds. Suddenly she panicked. Full moon, Willow gone. She was with a man that had attacked her, and Willow was gone… Willow…. Gone?
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
Oh please let me
trade
I would
Oz clued in right before Tara collapsd. He made sure her head didn't collide with the nearest headstone. He held her above the wet grass and called her name in an attempt to wake her up. She was stone cold and he could tell she was under a lot of stress. He took his jacket off her body and draped it over top of his head and the rest of her body as he carried her to his old V.W. He took an old woolen blanket from the back seat and wraped it around her before placing her gently on the back seat. He sighed suddenly realizing what he had done. Would she want this? Where would he take her? His gaze went back to the grave where Willow was buried. What do you want me to do? He asked in a small but pained voice.
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it
feels, yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that
you've gone away
Finally he decided to take her back to his parent's old house, at least until she was able to wake up. As he drove away the rain recieted and the moon came into full view. He couldn't help but think what Willow would say catching him during a full moon driving her girlfriend to his house collapsed in the back seat. The wolf mingled with his thoughts and he took in Tara's scent. She smelt like lavender and rain. But under all that she smelt like her. It was at that point that he realized he would never smell her again, her beautiful Willow scent. He had lost her all over again. He couldn't help wonder if the girl in the back seat was going through something similar. She was different somehow from the girl he had met 3 and a half years ago, less shy and selfconscious. He knew that was Willow's doing. For the first time in days he wondered if Willow really was still alive, in apart of the girl… Tara. Maybe they had more in common then they thought. Or maybe it was just the wolf talking. He wondered idly if this was what Willow had planned all along. He shook his heard trying to clear his fogged mind and switched off the wipers before taking the familier turn away from the graveyard and towards the coming dawn. He could smell it just below the horizon.
Gone away, gone away, yeah yeah yeah...
So that's all folks! Review the new chapter is coming soon and I hope you guys enjoyed it! The next chap should be really good hopefully, I've already started work on it so review and I might go faster!
