Hallo. Sup. Ok. Dot. Dot. Dot. Alright, I got this one a long time ago, and I am going to finish it now. I have no idea what I am going to do, but here goes nothing aiy? This Is for RaeRaven! Rock On!
Don't own Golden and I don't own Switchfoot.
Here be Da Story.
Late on a foggy night, Raven Roth sat at the table of her small three room apartment with a cup of bitter herbal tea. She was so tired from the day, in which she went to the few courses she had that day, she went to her part-time job at Safeway, she visited her friends, then came home to where she was now. For some time now, Raven had been fighting her inner demons. Now, you think I mean real demons because this is Raven we are talking about. Oh, but how wrong you are. She was worried, tired all the time, and the scariest of all, in love, with someone who she thought could never love her back. Lately, her head had been a miserable mess. "AH! If there is a Lord out there, save me from this torture they call life!" She screamed to no one in particular. But no one was there but her anyways.
She's alone tonight with a bitter cup and
She's undone tonight, she's all used up,
She's been staring down the demons
Who've been screaming
She's just another so and so,
Another so and so
At least that is what she thought. But standing at her apartment door contemplating whether to knock or just walk in, was Garfield Logan, the famous guitarist. Raven and he had been best friends since forever. They always looked out for each other and took care of each other when needed. Now, Gar knew that he was falling for this magnificent beauty. 'Knock, she would think something is up. Walk in, it would be more casual. Or I could just scream it through the door. Then she would think I am crazy.'
You are golden,
You are golden, Child
You are golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)
Gar was so scared. He had never loved anyone as much as he loved Raven and he wanted to tell her in a cool way, he just didn't know what way that was.
Raven stood up with her warm tea in her hands as she made her way to the small closet sized room she called her bedroom and sat on the edge of her twin bed. Sighing she closed her eyes wishing she could change her life. Nothing was so bad about it, it was just hard for her. Her younger years were the toughest, and the ones that scarred her for life. But after all, it was her life, it was her decision how to spend it, right?
There's a fear that burns like trash inside
And your shame of the curse that burns your eyes
You've been hiding in your bedroom,
Hoping this isn't not how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes,
It's your book now,
Gar opened the door and stepped into the dark place where the one whom he loved most dwelled. "Raven? Where are you?" he called out. Gar could be really lazy sometimes, and he just sat on the couch waiting for a response.
Raven jumped to her feet at hearing his voice, that beautiful voice he used to sing and to mesmerize millions of people. "Gar, when did you get here?" she questioned as she appeared from around the corner of the closet-sized bedroom. Gar stood to his feet upon her entrance. He smiled seeing her in her flannel pajama bottoms and a long sleeved black top. Her short purple hair was down at her shoulders as usual.
'And my fans think I'M hot?' "Just a few seconds ago. You look great," he complemented with a small laugh. "How was your day?" Gar and Raven didn't see each other as much as they used to considering Gar was famous and had to do tours and interviews all the time.
"Long. And tiring. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to go to school. How are you? Do you want a drink or anything to eat?" Gar smiled at her hospitality.
"I'm fine, thank you. Does that Malchior guy still bug you?" Gar asked completely ignoring Raven's first question.
She rolled her eyes, "Maybe. You didn't answer my question, Gar."
Gar walked closer to her and put a warm hand on her cheek. "You know you are the most beautiful girl in the whole world, don't you?" Raven blushed a little and let a small smile grace her lips. Gar let his hand fall down to her shoulder. Slowly, she turned her head to look at the hand on her shoulder, then her eyes once again met the gaze of her life-long friend.
"Thank you, you're not so bad looking yourself! I see you died your tips again," Raven spoke looking at his brown locks with green tips.
He just smiled at her kindly. The hand that had been on her shoulder, Gar moved to the back of her neck. Losing all former fear, he leaned forward and kissed her. At first, Raven didn't know what to think. She knew she liked Gar in this way, but was he just tired or did this actually mean something? Being close to twelve o'clock, he could completely be in a different world.
Raven leaned back out of the kiss, "Gar, you must be really tired." She took his hand off of her shoulder, and before he could protest she was leading him into her bedroom. "You should get some sleep. In the morning we'll talk. Good night." Raven shut the door to the small room and headed for the couch.
You are golden,
You are golden, Child
You are golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)
'SHE THINKS I'M TIRED AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING! Oh Raven, you have no idea!' Gar yelled in his mind. 'Maybe you have just been lonely and broken for too long that you don't know what love is.'
'In the morning he will be conscious of what he is doing and then I will know for sure if that was real. After all, here is one of the only four places he stays when he is in town. He wont leave I am sure of it.' Raven thought as she lied down to sleep.
You're a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts
You're far from home, it's a perfect place to start
Morning, the next day.
Yawning and stretching, Gar got to his feet and left the room. He went over to the couch and noticed Raven was still soundly sleeping. 'Oh, she is so beautiful, she on fiah!' Gar laughed quietly at his own stupidity.
(Yeah!)
(Burn)
(Burn, Burn!)
Gar got a tea-pot out of the cupboard, after a while of searching that is, and put some water in it. Trying his best to be quiet, he set it on the stove top and turned on the burner that the pot was on. Gar had on his jeans from the day before but he had taken his shirt off to sleep, and had forgotten to put it on that morning.
"Well, I didn't know I took in a half naked cave man last night," Raven commented sarcastically. Gar examined himself realizing he may have forgotten to put his shirt back on, and when he felt his face he noticed it to be a little fuzzy. "You should go clean up. There are some new razors above the sink in the bathroom. Go, I don't want to be in a room with a cave man from two thousand years ago. And thank you for starting my tea."
"Mornin' to you too, Raven. Have a nice sleep?" he asked politely. She nodded and pointed to the bathroom. "DO I HAVE TO?" he wined like a two-year-old causing Raven to laugh.
"Just go," she laughed. With that Gar sighed in defeat and left for the bathroom. "He is so cute," she mumbled quietly.
"Thank you!" Came a yelling voice from the bathroom. Raven's eyes practically came out of her head she was so surprised that he had heard her.
"Uh, your welcome." 'I never knew he had such great hearing, Gar is just full of surprises I guess.'
So this final verse is a contradiction
And the more we learn the less we know
"Raven," yelled Gar again. "Come here."
Raven walked over to the bathroom and Gar opened the door. He was still shirtless, but at least he had shaved. He leaned in and kissed her hoping she would get the message this time. This time, Raven didn't care if it was real or not, she just let herself melt in his arms. Neither could say anything to each other as far as 'I love you' goes, so Gar just showed her. Gar broke the kiss, "Raven, I knew I was kissing you last night and I wasn't just tired. I love you and I want you to know that. You might think I am not sure, but I am. I love you.
We've been talkin' about a feeling,
We both know inside but couldn't find the words
I couldn't write this verse,
I've seldom been so sure,
About anything before
You are worth more than gold, diamonds, sapphires, pie. You are the ultimate treasure." Raven was silent. Gar was eager to know how she felt, but he was beginning to lose hope. He had his arms on her shoulders and they were both looking deep into the other's eyes. "Raven?" he began to move his hands off of her shoulders.
Golden,
You are Golden, Child
"Don't let go!" she scolded holding his hands to her shoulders. Then she let her self fall forward onto his chest. "I love you, too Gar." She wrapped her arms around his back and he moved his arms around her neck.
You are Golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)
"I won't leave you Raven. I know people have broke your heart before. I saw it happen, but I won't do that to you. Those guys were stupid like dead men, and they didn't know what they were missing." He hugged her holding her close to him, but being careful not to crush her, considering there reasonable size difference.
This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are)
Every breath is a fading crown we wear (Golden, Child, you are)
Like some debilitated king (Golden, don't let go)
Don't let go tonight
It felt like days that they stood there in each others arms. Like seasons and seasons had passed. And they new as the seasons and the days passed, they would remain together forever. Raven was Gar's golden girl!
The Earth spins and the moon goes round (Golden, you are)
The green comes from the frozen ground (Golden, Child, you are)
And everything will be made new again (Golden)
(Like freedom in spring) (Golden, Golden)
"Hmm," Gar hummed the tune to a song Raven had never heard.
"What is that? Did you write it?" Raven asked looking up at him.
"No, but its called Golden, like you."
Hey, like freedom in spring, (Golden, you are, hey)
Like freedom in spring (Golden, Child, you are)
(Gold...)
Cool! I updated Hi! And this one today! Fun!
