Author's note: hey thanks for the reviews! Love 'em I can't believe ppl wanted me to do both, why? More work for me!lol nah, its s'ok

Oh well, makes it more interesting, hehe, special thanks to THOFAD for the idea of combining both, I think I will use it just twist it a bit to add more stuff to it to make it more mine, but BIG THANKS for the idea! And btw, the plot with Bryan and Tala, they're not together! Nah, best buds sharing an apartment.

Oh, and before, Tala was like staying with Kai, training with him, hanging out, trying to get close, but as you read, it didn't work out! So? He left, well on with the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade or this song, does it really seem like I'm making any money off of this? No, I thought so, well on with the fic! Hope you enjoy

Since U been gone

It's been a week since you've left. Why did you have to leave me? I thought-I thought that maybe you, I don't know. I thought that maybe all the attention I gave actually told you how I felt about you. I've always loved you. Always. You were always on my mind. Not just in beyblading, I mean, you're a great beyblader, of course only second to me, but, you're more than that! I don't know, I goofed. I've really done it this time. I've driven you away and you say that you'll not return. Why? Does being around me really hurt you? I thought we were friends, and were soon becoming more…

Here's the thing we started off friends

It was cool but it was all pretend

Yeah, yeah

Since you've been gone

Hadn't you noticed that I was always there with you? Why no one dared look at you? No one touched you but me. You were mine Tala, and I thought you always would be, but after that, I just don't know anymore. I had practically claimed you, without really telling you. The others always told me to confess, but then your team told me to back off. Why? Did they know how you felt about me? And why couldn't you tell me that I hurt you so much? You were mine Tala; I practically dared anyone to come close to you.

You dedicated you took the time

Wasn't long till I called you mine

Yeah, yeah

Since you've been gone

You may never have heard it from me Tala, but I love you. All I ever dreamed was for you to accept my feelings and feel he same way, but…

-Sigh-

Getting up from my bed, I tuck in my shoes, grabbing my scarf and heading out of my room and stepping out the door without answering the questions to where I'm going from my teammates. It's none of there business where I go or not.

Tala…

Why didn't you ever tell me you felt this way about me? Do you really hate me that bad? I didn't know I was such a bother.

And all you'd ever hear me say

Is how I pictured me with you

That's all you'd ever hear me say

Lately I've found out that you've always hated me. Always despised me, when everyone found out that you left, they knew that you would leave sooner or later. It bugged me so much to know that you hated me. Why? What did I do for you to hate me so? I was so angered, but the question is, do I go looking for you? Do you want to be found? Did I really love you? I was so angry with you! But then, was, is the past tense. Do I still hate you now? Or, am I over it? I am sorta but-then I'm-I just don't like you, like you anymore.

But since you've been gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so movin on

Yeah, yeah

Thanks to you

Now I get

What I want

Since you've been gone

Do you remember when we first met? You and I promised each other we'd be best friends forever. Now what are we? You hate me; I'm disappointed at you for not telling me anything. Did you even try to tell me?

"Kai can I talk to you?"

"Tell me later Tala, and hurry up and defeat Ray before we talk."

"But it's really important!"

"Later Tala! I know you can defeat Ray easily! No offense Ray but I know Tala is much better than this," Ray nodded knowingly but attack when Tala was still arguing with Kai. Tala's blade shot out form the dish and dropped to the ground. Tala looked down away from Kai as Kai scold at him for not paying attention and losing.

Maybe you did, I just never listened. I thought the extra time we spent together, just you and me. Training of course. With the intention of you actually having feelings for me? Maybe not, but, just being with you made me life worth living. Without you, there's no point. Now however, I've been thinking less about you. Am I forgetting about you? Do I even care anymore? Do I…still love you?

How can I put it? You put me on

I even fell for that stupid love song

Yeah, yeah

Since you've been gone

-Sigh-

Maybe Bryan could help me? He knows you better than me. Maybe he might have an idea as to where you are. Hopefully he will be able to help, and not get mad at me for losing you.

Count to think of it…now I get it! I'm remembering ever time you've rolled your eyes at me, glared at me, hissed insults under your breath, and not opening up to me, you just kept to yourself most of the time. After like a week later staying with me, you really had just kept to yourself. Never asked me about anything, and I only told you to train and get better. And, the times when it was only you, and I, I practically forced you. You never wanted to be with me in the first place! You never loved me like I had hoped you would, but I thought that-that maybe you did…

You know what? I don't care anymore, it's your problem, not mine.

Deciding to walk back to my apartment that stupid conscience of mine tells me to look for you. So, heading towards Bryan's place I feel kind ofawkward, like either something bad or odd will take place. Why do you have this affect on me?

How come I never hear you say

I just wanna be with you

I guess you never felt that way

Walking up towards the building, I feel like something's gonna happen. I don't know what, just that something is gonna happen once I reach Bryan. But what? Will you be there? Will Bryan even be there?

Ok pulling open the door I step in heading for the elevator. Bryan's room is on the top floor at the end to the left, #50.

Since you've been gone I've actually had a full training session with my team, you were always distracting me from achieving that. I knew you could do better but when you didn't, it just got me upset, someone as great as you not able to beat Ray. Ray's good, but you're better. You and Tyson are my greatest opponents. Tyson matters more though, but you, I just wanted to be with you. And now that you're gone, I feel I bit better, like some heavy weight was on me and has just been lifted. But something is telling me to find you! I want to find you, but another part of me couldn't care less.

But since you've been gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so movin on

Yeah, yeah

Thanks to you

Now I get

I get what I want

Since you've been gone

You know what? If you hate me, fine! I don't care anymore. Feeling this way about you, I just- I just don't feel that I need to be with you anymore. You hate me? So? I couldn't care less! Funny how I spent like half my life obsessing over you, and just when you leave I find out I never really liked you. Hm, you're gone. So what should I do now?

Stopping on the floor I needed to be at, I step out turning my way towards Bryan's room. Just then I hear voices…yours…and Bryan's?

You had your chance you blew it

Out of sight, out of mind

Shut your mouth I just can't take it

Again and again and again and again

Panic flows through me as I try to decide where to hide. Noticing that by your room there are the doors to the stairs. I quickly go to the doors closing it behind me when hear your voice.

"Listen thanks for letting me stay with you Bryan!" It pained my heart to hear yousound so grateful to Bryan. I just…feel so…lost. I thought that I might have been over you. I guess I'm not. Without you around, I thought-I thought-

Since you've been gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so movin on

Yeah, yeah

Thanks to you

Now I get

I get what I want

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so movin on

Yeah, yeah

"No prob. I told you Kai wouldn't be much of help to you."

"I know, I just thought that maybe, we could- I don't know," could what? Could what!

"Just forget about him Tal. From what you've been telling me, he really hasn't changed since the abbey," huh? I haven't changed? What was wrong with me before!

"Oh well. I thought that maybe he was still my best friend when we were little, and had just first met but-I don't know, growing older he changed…a lot…like he was the same spoiled brat, just before he...cared."

I've changed? For the better or worse? Tala whatever it is I'll change back! All I want is you!

Thanks to you

Now I get

You should know

That I get

I get what I want

"Alright," I heard him say as there was a small pause. What were they doing? What's with the pause. I heard Tala giggle and the jingling sound of keys jumble around to fit through the keyhole. I heard them enter and shut the door behind them.

Reality hit me when I figured it out. Tala loves Bryan and Bryan loves Tala. It all made sense now. Whenever Tala wasn't with me, he was with Bryan. And whenever Bryan complained to me to back off of Tala, he-he was so protective…they love each other, and I'm not apart of it.

Tala doesn't love me…he never did like I hoped he would.

Since you've been gone

Going down the stairs it made me realize what that gut feeling was. You were never mine, and, I'll never be yours. You hate me! And what about me? Since you've been gone, I thought that maybe the feelings I thought were there had vanished, but now. All the feelings came flooding back. Everything about you just enchanted me, everything…

Since you've been gone

Since you've been gone I've only tricked myself into thinking that I didn't love you, but I do. …never, I'll never let go of you...I love you. But you-you love Bryan not me…

Since you've been gone

Since you've been gone, I'm still not over you…
