A/N: Yo, my homie G's! It me, DJ MBAV fan66! Here with another sick tune to give ya'll!

This is song number 2 that Carpenters123 had requested and since I'm posting this right after their first song request, there's not going to be any shout outs this time my homies. Sorry. But they're will be next time, though! Lol!

So, this one's not going to have a pairing or mention of one. It's just one character going solo on this one. So, I hope you all like it! Especially, you Carpenters123! And I also hope that you liked your other one, too! Lol!

Songfic #17

Song: I Need To Be In Love

Artist: The Carpenters

Pairing: Erica


The hardest thing I've ever done

Is keep believing

There's someone in this crazy world

For me

The way that people come and go

Through temporary lives

My chance could come and I might never know

Erica was currently up in her room, contemplating about her life over the many years. It's been about 6 years since she graduated and had last seen Sarah and the nerd squad. She chuckled softly to herself remembering how geeky those three were back then. And not just them, but herself as well, before she became a vampire.

My how times have changed. Back then she was more aggressive and demanding after becoming one. She used to take whatever she wanted and if you ever got on her wrong side then she would find a way to exact her revenge. Which usually just led to her biting them and sucking them dry. But not anymore. She had mellowed out over the years, some. Maybe not completely, but enough to make her a better and more decent person she guessed. She laughed, knowing how shocked the others would probably be if they saw her now.

Heck! Even the old her would probably be shocked to see how her future self is now. Erica really missed those days. With a sigh, she then started to think about something else. Her love life. Even back then her love life was nothing more than a joke. She only dated the school's hottest guys, which was mostly for their blood. And they only dated her because of her looks and not because of her personality, but back then she didn't really care. But she did always secretly dreamed about finding that one special guy some day. The one who would sweep her off her feet and she would just melt into his touch. Fireworks would go off in the background every time they kissed. It was really cheesy, but Erica truly did believe that she would find the one. The one who would meet all her qualifications to be her one true destined love, that she had always read about.

I used to say "No promises,

Let's keep it simple"

But freedom only helps you say

Good-bye

It took a while for me to learn

That nothin' comes for free

The price I've paid is high enough for me

Now. Now she still believes that dream will come true this very day. Just not as much as she once used too, anymore. Erica has been on a few dates in the past 4 years, but none of the guys just didn't fit her criteria. At first, she thought that it was because of her. How she either came on too strong or to intimidating at times. So, she decided to change her personality some, by not really reverting back to old geeky Erica, but more of an...in between the two sort of thing, in hopes that she'll be able to attract the one.

I know I need to be in love

I know I've wasted too much time

I know I ask perfection of

A quite imperfect world

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

But it still wasn't enough. So she tried to shorten her list of expectations that she wants in a guy by a little bit, but even that didn't seem to do it. She still wound up lonely.

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions

But none of them will comfort me tonight

I'm wide awake at four a.m.

Without a friend in sight

Hanging on a hope but I'm alright

So, here she was. Up in her bedroom, sitting on the bed in the middle of the night, wide awake and lonely. Then her pet calico cat came strolling on in and jumped up onto the bed to curl up in her lap. Erica smiled at her feline companion, as she began to pet the cat.

"Hey, there Juniper! How's my girl doing?" said Erica sweetly to the cat, as the feline purred with every stroke of Erica's hand. "It looks like it's just me and you tonight again, girl."

She continued to pet the cat lovingly as she sat there in thought. Thinking if maybe she had wasted all her time on setting such high standards for Mr. Right, that maybe she had unknowingly already had met the guy, who might of not fit her perfect guy exactly, but still felt like the one. And that she already had missed her chance with him.

I know I need to be in love

I know I've wasted too much time

I know I ask perfection of

A quite imperfect world

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

But you know what? Erica wasn't going to give that easily. Maybe there's still a chance that she hadn't already met the guy, yet or that maybe he'll come around again. And if he does, then this time she'll know it for sure and won't let him slip away from her again. Until then, she figured that she could just bare the loneliness that she felt inside, a little while longer.

"You know something, Juniper?" she asked, stoking the calico down the back, as she looked down at her with a smile on her face. "I refuse to believe that life will always be this way forever for me. And there won't be anymore lonely days or nights for me, either." she said fondly, as she then looked up and out her bedroom window. Watching as the rain hit her window.

She smiled with such hope and determination in her eyes, as she stared out at the wet and dreary night. "I just know, that somewhere out there, the perfect guy is waiting for me. Until then, I'll just have bare it a little longer until we finally meet." she spoke fondly. Then she looked back down at the now sleeping ball of white, orange, and black fur curled up in her lap, sleeping soundly. "But for now, I'm happy just to get to share these lonely nights with you, my little June Bug!" she cooed/praised happily to the slumbering cat, as she sat there and watched it sleep peacefully.

I know I need to be in love

I know I've wasted too much time

I know I ask perfection of

A quite imperfect world

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find
