Hi Kick-flare here with another chapter of Who ever said running a café was easy! Well, I'd like to thank everyone for reviewing, especially Luna RavenCroft, talaandkailuver, and Chibi Lothlen, for their support during my writer's block. Thanks R&R! PS: Sorry Luna I'm being lazy... I can't be asked to make this chapter long, sorry hon!

Who ever said running a café was easy!

Chapter 25 – We are

See the devil on the doorstep now (my oh my)

Telling everybody oh just how to live their lives

Sliding down the information highway

Buying in just like a bunch of fools

Time is ticking and we can't go back (my oh my)

"Because I'm scared."

Tala turned his gaze to meet hers, her eyes held no warmth.

"Harmony…" Tala let the words fall from his lips, as her eyes bore ruthlessly into his. The pain in Harmony's eyes startled Tala, as he found himself unable to look away.

What about the world today

What about the place that we call home

We've never been so many

And we've never been so alone

"Why won't you tell me what's wrong?" He asked softly, his entire outlook softened towards her. The pain etched into her face deepened, made her look another three years old than she was.

"Please…" He spoke again; his voice had roughened as the raw emotion thundered its way through his veins.

You keep watching from your picket fence

You keep talking but it makes no sense

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are

You wash your hands and come out clean

Fail to recognise the enemies within

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are, we are, we are

"My Mum, s… she dead!" Harmony sobbed into Tala's jacket, he was some what taken back by the outburst, and he had no idea how to deal with her. Somewhere inside him, a voice yelled at him to hug her, rather than question it; he lets his arms curl around her, as she buried her face into his jacket.

One step forward making two steps back (my oh my)

Riding piggy on the bad boys back for life

Lining up for the grand illusion

No answers for no questions asked

Lining up for the execution

Without knowing why

"I'm sorry…" Tala trailed off, his eyes closed as his grip tightened around her. Her sobs seemed to die away, to an almost silent sniffle.

You keep watching from your picket fence

You keep talking but it makes no sense

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are

You wash your hands and come out clean

Fail to recognise the enemies within

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are, we are, we are

"Why… my mum…" She muttered bitterly, clinging to Tala's jacket, which had now been soaked by her tears.

It's all about power then

Take control

Breaking the rule

Breaking the soul

They suck us dry till there's nothing left

My oh my, my oh my

"I wish I could help more…" Tala muttered quietly, the wind whistled past the two, but their thoughts were elsewhere.

What about the world today

What about the place that we call home

We' ve never been so many

And we've never been so alone...

So alone

"You're helping… by being here…" She said softly, letting her eyes close as she rested against him.

You keep watching from your picket fence

You keep talking but it makes no sense

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are

You wash your hands and come out clean

Fail to recognise the enemies within

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are, we are, we are

Tala let a sigh escape his shielding, before a slight smile crept onto his lips.

You keep watching from your picket fence

You keep talking but it makes no sense

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are

You wash your hands and come out clean

Fail to recognise the enemies within

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are, we are, we are

"Tala…" She said looking up at him.

You keep watching from your picket fence

You keep talking but it makes no sense

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are

You wash your hands and come out clean

You say we're not responsible

But we are, we are, we are, we are

"Yea?" He replied, meeting her gaze.

We are

We are (its all )

We are

We are, we are (take control)

We are

We are

It's all about power

Then take control

"Thank you…" She trailed off as the gap between them closed.
