I Promised Myself
"Well,let's get started. I think it will take awhile before we destroy all of the heartless," Kaylie pointed out. Everyone was dreading this moment, but in truth they had to do it. It was their job to destroy the heartless.
"You're right." Tarzan agreed. "I will swinging from the trees a ways ahead of you. I will check on you every once in awhile."
"Okay."
"All right, move out!" Sean called. Immediately Amoura, Kaylie, Sean, and Tarzan took off into the dense, forbidding forest. As they walked through the forest, they noticed how beautiful it truly was. There were monkeys here and there, strange sounds and birds flying everywhere. One came down at Sean like a missile and aimed his head.
Seeing the bird, Sean ducked as soon as possible while Kaylie and Amoura stood laughing in the back round.
"It's not funny!" Sean yelled at them.
"Maybe not for you," Amoura said in between bursts of laughter. She saw a small devious smile play upon Sean's lips and knew something was up. She sneaked away from the still laughing Kaylie and hide behind a tree further away, watching Sean.
Then, as if on cue, when the bird came at Sean, he ran over to Kaylie. Right before the duck could make contact with his head, he ducked and the bird collided hard with Kaylie's stomach.
"Owwwww!" Kaylie cried out. The bird hit her so hard that she flew back and landed on her back. She didn't get up.
"Kaylie?" Sean asked. Seeing her not moving, Sean ran over to her and started shaking her violently. "Kaylie, wake up! This isn't funny!" By now, Amoura had run ahead to try and find Tarzan. She didn't want anything to happen to these people. Although she didn't want to admit it, they were the closest things to friends she ever had.
"Kaylie, please answer me!" Sean was desperate now. Ignoring the insane birds that were pecking the crap out of him, he gingerly picked up Kaylie. Protecting her body with his own, he began running the way they had came.
"Kaylie!" Sean yelled. "Please wake up! I didn't mean for you to get hurt! It was only a joke…a really cheap joke! Please Kaylie, wake up!" When she didn't respond, he stopped running and sunk to his knees, mud covering his already worn out legs.
"Please…Kaylie…I love you. You can't die…I love you too much. I won't let you." Finally, Kaylie stirred in his arms.
"Sean…?" Kaylie asked. Sean was afraid; her voice sounded so weak.
"Kaylie, are you okay?" he forced himself to say. He wanted to let out so much more, but he didn't want to confuse her with a bunch of questions.
"I…I'm f-fine," she stuttered. She tried to lift herself up, but it hurt to move. When she fell back she took in a sharp intake of breath.
"Be careful!" Sean hissed. "Don't move, I have to take you back to camp. Jane will know what's wrong." Sean said, then added, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Kaylie said, trying to reassure him. Though she was having some trouble convincing herself.
"No, it's not. Anything could have happened back there. You could have been severely hurt or worse you could have-" but stopped himself before he could finish. He refused to say it.
"Could have died." Kaylie finished.
"Yeah…yeah…" Sean sighed. "Kaylie, I promise you I'll protect you. Nothing will ever hurt you while I am still alive and breathing in this world."
"Oh Sean, you don't have to protect me." Kaylie said, her voice full of sympathy.
"Kaylie, yes I do. I love you and I don't want anything to happen to you. I would never forgive myself if you were hurt or if you were…" he stopped and took in a large breath, "were killed."
When no sound came from Kaylie, Sean immediately regretted his words. Now she was probably never going to want to talk to him again. Or worse, maybe she'd ask him to leave her so she would never have to look at his face again. Finally, he risked looking at her. What he saw surprised him.
She was not mad in any way. She was crying…but why?
"Kaylie?" Sean asked. "What's wrong?"
"Thank you," she said. "I love you too Sean and I would never forgive myself if something were to happen to you."
"Really?" asked Sean. 'Oh you idiot!' he thought, "Is it not enough that she confessed her love to you? You have to question it as well?"
"Really, really," she said, a small smile formed on her face.
"Wow…" Sean said quietly.
"I have one request to ask of you." Kaylie said.
"What's that?" Sean asked. 'Oh no….here is the part where she tells me that I have to go out and buy her a huge diamond ring, or an all pearl necklace, or a ruby the size of Destiny Islands. But she deserves all of that, and so much more,' Sean thought bitterly.
"Sean, will you sing me a song?"
"Huh?" asked Sean, confused.
"A song."
"What song would you want me to sing? I don't really sound good, I hope you know." Sean said.
"Any song."
"Okay." Sean agreed. He didn't want to try her patience. Even in a bad state, she could make his life miserable and make him feel bad. As Sean sang the song, every one in awhile, Kaylie would join in and sing back round music, which made it all the better.
" I promised myself
I promised I'd wait for you
The midnight hour
I know you'll shine on through
I promised myself
I promised the world to you
I gave you flowers
You made my dreams come true
How many of us out there
Feel the need to run and look for shelter
I promised myself
That I'd say a prayer for you
A brand new tomorrow
Where all you wish comes true
I promised myself
(I promised, I Promised)
That I'd make it up to you
My sister and brother
Know I'm in love with you
(Aaaaaaa)
How many of us out there
Feel the pain of losing what was once there
God I know what people say about her
No mistake, who can live without love
I promised myself
(Aaaaaaa)
(I promised, I promised)
In the midnight hour I will wait for you
(For you)
I will wait for you
(I will wait, yeah)
I will wait for you
(I will wait for you)
In the midnight hour I will wait for you
(Uuuuu)
I will wait for you
(I will wait for you)
I will wait for you
(I will wait for you)
I promised myself
(I promised)
I promised I'd wait for you
(I promised I do, I do)
The midnight hour
(I promised, I promised)
I know you'll shine on through
(I know you'll shine on through)
I promised myself
(I promised, I promised)
I promised the world to you
(I promised the world to you)
I gave you flowers
(Flowers, flowers)
You made my dreams come true
(You made my dreams come true)"
When the song was finished, Kaylie had fallen asleep so carefully Sean took her back to camp.
