[Damnit MissMandyMay12, why did you suggest this, do you know how hard it was to write this without crying, I DIDN'T SUCCEED! Yes I had to write this when I finally listened to the song. I made a few changes to the lyrics for the story of course. By the way this is based on the song "Lucy" by Skillet I hope you all enjoy it! Also, I produced this one rather fast so if you haven't read the previous story be sure to do so.]
It had been a month, it was official that she was gone. Years of incompetence and failed powers finally added up to the one mistake he could have made to end her forever. Splendid makes his way into the graveyard. The shining sun a stark contrast to the turmoil inside of him. He made his way over to the grave, her final one. He stood before it staring in silence. He promised himself he wouldn't cry, he finds this a far more difficult promise to keep than he originally thought. He was choking, choking on his indescribable regret. He looks to his hands, a large bouquet of roses in his shaky grip. He kneels down slowly and places the roses at the base of the tombstone. His hands pass over the inscription as he tries his hardest to stand, But his eyes, stare transfixed at the name engraved on the stone and he holds back the flood of tears just behind his eyes. The squirrel stands on his shaking legs and stares down at the grave, swallowing hard.
"It's been a month Giggles… I'm sorry… I'm just… so sorry" said the squirrel as a tear worked it's way out of his eye.
The squirrel's voice choked, he has something for her. Something he wished to say too late. His legs give out and he falls to his knees unable to stand. He swallows hard and forces the words out of his mouth.
Giggles I remember your name
Left a dozen roses on your grave today
I'm in the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away
I just came to talk for a while
Got some things I need to say
Now that it's over
I just wanna hold you
I'd give up all the world to see
your little piece of heaven looking back at me
Now that it's over
I just wanna hold you
I've gotta live with the mistakes I've made
And I can't live with myself today
Tears began flowing from the squirrel's eyes. One hand on the ground, the other on her grave. Splendid falls to his face as the tears form a puddle beneath him.
A week has passed and the squirrel returns, his arms full of bouquets and wrapped presents. He returns to the grave and places the things at the base in a beautiful display. He chokes again and swallows hard.
Hey Giggles I remembered your birthday
They said it'd bring some closure, to say your name
I know I'd do it all different if I had the chance
But all I've got are these roses to give
And they can't help me make amends
Now that it's over
I just want to hold you
I'd give up all the world to see
Your little piece of heaven looking back at me
Now that it's over
I just wanna hold you
I've gotta live with the mistakes I've made
And I can't live with myself today
Splendid is on his knees, his eyes have fallen shut with tears streaming from them.
Here we are
Now you're in my arms
I never wanted anything so bad
Here we are
for a brand new start
Living the life that we could have had
Me and Giggles walking hand and hand
Me and Giggles never wanna end
Just another moment in your eyes
I'll see you in another life
In heaven where we never say goodbye
Splendid's eyes open flooding his face with tears.
Now that it's over
I just wanna hold you
I'd give up all the world to see
Your little piece of heaven looking back at me
Now that it's over
I just wanna hold you
I've gotta live with the mistakes I've made
And I can't live with myself today
Splendid reaches out and wraps his arms around the tombstone with his eyes shut.
Here we are now you're in my arms
Here we are for a brand new start
Gotta live with the mistakes I've made
And I can't live with myself today
Me and you walking hand and hand
Me and you never wanna end
Gotta live with the choices I've made
And I can't live with myself today
Hey Giggles I remember your name
Splendid releases his embrace on the tombstone, his vision blurred he forces himself to stand. He reaches behind his head and removes his mask. He slowly steps up to the grave and wraps it around the top. And steps away, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Goodbye Giggles" he says once more before turning to leave.
As he is returning to the road he feels something, like a breeze, like someone standing behind him. He turns quickly but sees nothing. He turns his head back to the road and reaches up to rub his forehead. There, he feels something and brings it down to see that in his hands is now a little pink bow. The squirrel looked around confused then back to the bow. With a final smile and a steady stream of tears in his eyes he looks back to the grave, holds the bow tightly, and leaves the graveyard.
[Awe Damnit that was hard, but I made it through. I hope you all enjoyed it and I'd really like to know what you thought, great request MissMandyMay12]
