A/N: Yo! Yo! Yo! My fellow, songficers! How's it hangin?! This DJ MBAV fan66, and I'm bring you not one, but TWO songfics today!
Both songfics were requested from the same guest reviewer, Carpenters123! This is the first song that they requested, so I hope you all like it. Right after this one will be the other song that Carpenters123 had asked for to be used in a songfic.
Just to let you know, this one will take place 5 years after Season 1 finale and Season 2 never happened. In this songfic, Sarah never came back after the events of the dance and we see how it's effected Ethan. Also, since the drinking age in Ontario, Canada is 19, and there's not really a definite location as to just where Whitechapel is located at and most be people just go with Ontario, Canada, then that means that Ethan isn't really illegally drinking. So...yeah. Lol!
Shout outs:
TiredOfBeingNice- Whoa, there Fanfic buddy! Just calm down! Lol! But yeah! She should totally drain him...or get Erica to do it since that's more of her thing. Lol!
LoveShipper- He sure does. Sarah's lucky to have him :)
Disclaimer: I do not own My Babysitter's A Vampire or the song used in this songfic. I do own this songfic's little plot line.
Songfic #16
Song: Solitaire
Artist: The Carpenters
Pairing: Ethan/Sarah
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indefference
It's been five years since that day Sarah had left after what had happened at the Fly Me Off To The Moon dance and never came back. For Ethan though, he remembers it all too clearly as the memories seem to haunt him.
When Erica and Rory had came back, the next day, they had told him that Sarah had decided to not come back. She had said that she couldn't return after what had happened that night and that she feels so guilty about it all. It also made her realize just how much she cares for him and also how different they both are and how they can never truly be together do to her being a vampire and him being a human. And she only wants what's best for him and him becoming what she is, isn't it. She didn't want him to live the life of a blood sucking demon for eternity. So, she left because she knew that everytime she would look at him all she would see is the life that she could never have with him.
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
Hearing that news had totally broke him. He was speechless and heartbroken. At first he decided that it was just a game and that she was only playing a joke on him, but it wasn't. Then he figured that maybe she'd change her mind after a while and come back, but once again that wasn't the case. Ethan soon went into silent mode and hadn't said a word to anyone for four weeks straight, before realizing he was being stupid with the whole silent treatment thing and started talking again.
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ever since then, Ethan had just decided to stay a single man for the rest of his life. He figured why go through the hurt again, only to have his heart eventually broken again by another girl that he loves. Plus, what he felt for Sarah could never be replaced by another. No love for any girl could ever compare to the love he felt for Sarah. So, he never dated.
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
He just continued on with his life, hardly saying a word to anyone and mostly just sticking to himself. Even if a girl did like him, he would only turn her down politely by saying that he just wasn't that interested in her or that she wasn't his type. Which totally made Rory's and Benny's jaws drop when they first heard him saying it. Some of these girls they would've jumped at the chance to date.
A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing?
So, here he was, sitting in a little bar and having his daily drink, but this time with Benny joining him. Benny could still see how Sarah's leaving was still hurting his friend. It's been a little over five years now and he's still hasn't gotten over it. It was both kind of irritating and sad to Benny, to always see his best friend like this. Even if Ethan did try to make it seem as if everything was ok, Benny wasn't fooled by the act one bit. He just wished that Ethan would move on with his love life. He and Rory had tried to set him up with other girls in the past, but he would always turn them down. He let out a small sigh.
'If only Sarah would come back. Then maybe he wouldn't be so sheltered all the time and stop living his life in solitude.' thought Benny, as he took a sip of his drink.
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
"Look, E. I get that Sarah was your first love and all, but you can't keep doing this to yourself." said Benny to Ethan. Ethan didn't say anything, he only just sat there as he took a drink from his alcoholic beverage, looking down at the glass in his hand. Benny sighed, as he began to get a bit frustated with him. "There's plenty of other girls out there! So, Sarah left and chose not to come back because she thought that you were better off without her! So, what, E?! Get over it! Move on! I'm sure she would want you to date other women instead of spending your whole life in solitude like some kind of monk! Don't close your heart off to love just because your first love broke your heart!" said Benny, raising his voice to Ethan in frustration.
Ethan took another drink from his glass, finishing it off, before he slammed the glass down on the counter. He then shot Benny a harsh glare, before speaking.
"No, Benny! You don't get it! Sarah meant everything to me! And she just up and left after the dance all because she thought that me and her wouldn't work due to our differences in species! How does she know that it wouldn't of work! Huh, Benny?! For all she knows we could've made it work! But, no! So, instead she thought that it would be better to just break my heart and leave! So, why should I ever open my heart again to another?! Why should I ever love someone the same way that I loved her, only for me to end up in possible heartache?!" stated Ethan in the same tone, as he watched Benny.
Benny didn't know what to say. He was a little surprised to see Ethan speak to him like this, so he just sat there in silence. After awhile, Ethan let out a stressed filled sigh, calming himself some. He then stood up and took out his wallet. He laid some money down on the counter for his drinks and placed his wallet back into his pocket. Benny watched as he picked up his coat and was about to leave, before he stopped to face Benny with a sullen look and sigh.
"Sometimes it's just better to never love again, so you won't have to go through all the heartache and pain that it only seems to leave you in the end." spoke Ethan glumly, and with that he turned back around and left.
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
As he walked down the street, Ethan saw a few happy couples here and there. He smiled a ruefully to himself, wondering if Sarah hadn't left that night and they actually did made it work if that's how they would look together. Happy, laughing, and...being in love together. But he would never get that answer. So, here he was. Walking down the street as a lonely man. Never to feel love ever again, all because the one he loved back then broke his heart forever. Never to be fixed.
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
