Yesterday was crazy. I stayed up so late working on the last two chapters, and then I was at the doctor's or doing homework the whole rest of the day. Nevertheless, I am caught up now. This is Monday's, and today's will be posted immediately afterwards.
The inspiration was actually the scene described, the song came after the idea.
Enjoy and leave a review!
9 Days-Gravity Still Makes Us Fall
"And all of us we will endure
Just like we always have
But you just can't be too sure
How long this will last
'cause we control the chaos
In the back of our minds
Our problems seem so small
But they grow on us like gravity
But gravity still makes us fall"
-"The Only Thing Worse Than Beating a Dead Horse is Betting on One", Relient K
What an absolute, complete mess. The whole galaxy was in danger from the Conduit and the Reapers, and yet all the Council could do was set up some ships. And ground me. All of the sudden, I felt like a teenager again. Only this time, the punishment inflicted on me could affect the entire galaxy.
My hands were tied. Official channels were cut, and there was no way in hell we were going to get out of here on our own. As I slammed myself down next to the lockers in frustration, I realized how little I could do. One person, one ship, in the face of the galaxy. Suddenly everything seemed a lot worse.
And then there was Kaidan, dependable, companionable, Kaidan. Cautious as ever, but he was still there. And caution I could understand. There were lines here that we were crossing, but everything was becoming so blurry that I couldn't tell anymore. And when he smiled at me when I managed to get an 'it will be alright' out of him…well, I didn't know if I cared where the lines where. Regulations be damned, I had never felt like this before.
His touch, as he reached out his hand to mine, sent shivers through my body, and I stumbled as I was being pulled up. Then I was in his arms, heart racing at our proximity. And amazingly, as we stood there, I felt his heart beat in time to my own. This was what I had been waiting for. Something I had been missing fell into place, despite all of the obstacles and regulations. Love.
