How Could This Happen to Me?

"Rise and shine sleepy-head!" Kaylie called into Amoura's tent. Amoura woke with a start and sat upright. The cool morning chill was enough to send her back under the covers.

"Its cold…" Amoura complained.

"Maybe that's because you haven't budged from underneath those blankets for a few days," came a familiar voice. Sean also entered the tent. "You know, you should get up and stretch your legs. It couldn't hurt to get your blood pumping again."

"Yeah…you're right." Amoura agreed.

"I know, I am always right." Sean boasted. Kaylie and Amoura held in their laughter until their faces turned bright red. They glanced at each other and burst out in laughter.

"Good one." Kaylie complimented.

Sean muttered something as he left the tent, anger clearly spread on his gorgeous facial features

"You gotta love em'."

Later…

"So…we are going to search the forest? What exactly are we searching for?" asked a confused Amoura.

"Well," Kaylie began, "Tarzan told us that when my dad sealed the keyhole here, the heartless did not disappear. More just kept coming. Tarzan has been able to keep most parts of the jungle free of heartless. My dad didn't finish the job, so I have to."

"Oh…" Amoura said. "I feel so sorry for you."

"Thanks. Most the time I wonder 'How could this happen to me?' You know…" Kaylie sighed. "I guess I'll live."

Amoura stopped talking for a moment. 'How could this happen to me?' Amoura thought. 'I know that phrase. The song my mom used to sing to me…untitled. That's what is reminds me of. I wonder if anyone else has ever heard of it?'

"Hey you guys?" Amoura asked.

"What?" Kaylie and Sean asked at the same time. 'They are such a cute coulpe..' Amoura thought.

"I was wondering if you guys have ever heard a song called Untitled?"

"Yeah…" Kaylie said slowly, "my mom and dad used to sing it to me when I was little. It always helped me fall asleep."

"My dad, Riku, used to sing it to me." Sean mused. "He didn't sound very good, but for some reason, it always sounded beautiful anyway."

"What about your mom?" Amoura asked, curiosity filled her voice.

"She…left my dad when I was a kid."

"I'm so sorry-" Amoura began, but she was cut off.

"Its fine." Sean said, waving his hand in the air. He put on a fake smile and said, "You don't know me that well, so I can't blame you for wondering. What about you? Is there anything that you want to share with us?"

"Well, I don't remember much of my past. My grandmother told me that my mother couldn't keep me. She said my dad just left her to take care of me." Amoura explained. Her eyes brimmed with tears, but she held them back.

"I guess we all have something to be sorry for." Kaylie said sadly. Sean and Amoura nodded their heads in agreement.

"Do you want to sing Untitled?" Amoura asked quietly. "I want to."

"Why not?" Kaylie asked. Both girls turned their heads towards Sean.

"Fine." Sean mumbled.

"I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?"

"Wow…" said a fascinated Amoura.

"Together we sound…so…so…" Kaylie said, searching for the right word. But Sean finished her sentence for her.

"Amazing."

-End Chapter-

Well? What did you think? I know its short, but the song has a connection to them and Amoura's past. Later you'll find out how.

R& R please! Love to hear what you think!
