Brooklyn sighed as she wrapped something up. She grabbed her keys and locked the door as she went out. Time to deliver her heart and than be on her way. She walked to the house that Susan had rented while the smoke clear from Reed's last experiment. When she got there Brooklyn knocked on the door. It was opened by Ben.
"Hey Ben." Brooklyn said to the big rock.
"Hey Brooklyn, wanna come in?" Ben motioned to the party behind him.
"No, no thanks, just tell Johnny I said happy B-day and here." Brooklyn handed Ben a gift. She was about to leave when she heard.
"Hey Brook."
Brooklyn turned around to see Johnny standing in the door way, two blond super looking models on either side of him. All emotion drained from her face. Brooklyn turned around and left.
"She says happy B-day." Ben said as he walked past Johnny shoving the gift at him.
Johnny walked back inside, he started to his room away from the party. "Girls," he told the two. "I need some time alone."
"What's up with Johnny?" Reed asked.
"Saw Brooklyn." was all Ben said.
"Wonder if he knows what he's thrown away?" Sue wondered.
"Probably not." Reed shook his head.
Johnny shut the door, shutting out the music and noise. He sat on edge of his bed. He looked at the wrapping paper on the gift, he smiled, it was flames. Johnny opened the card, on. The front was actually a picture of him on his bike. He opened it and read: 'You were right about being nothing. You weren't a nothing. You were a something. And no matter what happens, you will always be a something to me. Happy B-Day, Torch.' Johnny opened the gift.
"See you later." Johnny ran out pulling on his leather jacket.
"But we haven't even cut the cake yet." Sue called, but Johnny was gone.
Johnny hopped on his bike. 'I'll find you, Brook' Johnny flipped down his visor and rode off.
Brooklyn walked down the sidewalk with her hands in her pockets, she realized that she did that a lot. She sighed, life was, well, it was complicated.
Imma tell you a story here it goes…
Listen,
Let me say this face to face
She wanted to say something to Johnny, but she just couldn't bring her self to.
before you walk away from me
listen up baby
We know things ain't gunna change
I love you but she's in the way
where does that leave me? woahh
what a mess so wrapped up in you
Especially when she saw those two girls on either side of him. She thought that maybe he loved her, she knew she loved him.
and there's nobody else for me
Maybe that's why she still liked to see him.
in my heart I am so confused
Because she couldn't tell him that she was over him, she still loved him. No matter what happened or what he did, she just couldn't stop loving him. He just got to her like no one could, he made her smile and made her laugh. And though people thought he was immature, Brooklyn could see what lay beneath and that he wasn't. Sure he was, but not like everyone thought, that he couldn't take responsibility.
forget you
that's all I wanna do
Brooklyn didn't want to forget Johnny, no not at all.
I gotta face the truth
cause this just ain't no good for me
Brooklyn stopped, maybe Johnny wasn't good for her, maybe... 'No.' she told her self. Johnny was good for her.
forget you
I really wish I could get you off my mind
as hard as I may try I cant forget you
do dah do do do do doo
I just gotta forget you
Bri talk to em
Baby heres where I went wrong
thinkin I could have you
Maybe Brooklyn did think that she could have Johnny. She hadn't planed on her falling in love, heck she hadn't even planed on ever meeting the guy.
even though I knew the truth
you were with somebody else
don't mean no disrespect
She didn't mean to hurt anyone. She never liked to. 'Yeah right.' a little voice said in her head. 'Like you didn't want to hunt every one of the girls Johnny's gone out with and kill them.'
but she aint got nothing on me woah woahhh
Brooklyn really didn't like the girls Johnny went out with or hung around with. They were loud, obnoxious, flirtous, stupid, and sleazy. Not only that but they had their hands on her Johnny.
what a mess wish that I could get over you
my hearts tellin me to..
chorus repeat
wish things were different but they're not
Brooklyn so wished that it was all a dream and that she would wake up.
you and I will never be
and thats what is killing me
It felt like someone had just ripped her heart out and handed it to her. She was left standing with her heart in her hands, feeling empty and void.
best thing for me to do is go and find somebody new
Brooklyn knew she couldn't love anyone else and she wouldn't let her self either.
but that wont happen till I forgeeeeeeeet you ..do dah do do do do do
chorus repeat (2)
and that's the story
now you know how I feel
and that's all I gotta say
Brooklyn sighed, she knew it was no good she loved Johnny whether he loved her back or not. She walked to her apartment, once inside after she made sure the door was locked. Brooklyn walked over to the front of the balcony windows.
As Johnny rode he knew he'd been an idiot. Brooklyn was something you don't toy around with. She was the real deal. Johnny was coming on up a café. Something caught his eye, it was the guy who had called as Brooklyn put it, another name for a slut. Johnny stopped his bike abruptly, he put the kick stand down, took off his helmet and walked to the café. Leaving his bike parked sideways in the middle of the road. People beeped their horns and hollered at him, but Johnny ignored them, he had business to take care of. "Hey." he called at the guy.
People looked at Johnny.
"You." Johnny pointed at the guy in the green shirt.
"What?"
"Remember me?"
The guy looked at him. "Oh yeah, you're the guy with that sluty girl from the other night. The one who didn't do anything when I called her that." the guy laughed.
"Yeah well I should have done some thing and I decided what it was."
"Yeah what's that?" the guy laughed.
"This." Johnny punched the guy square in the face knocking him out. Than Johnny tuned around and walked back to his bike, put his helmet on, flipped the kick stand up and rode off. Johnny rode down the road, thinking about Brooklyn and him. He realized that they were something special.
You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around.
You used to lean on me like
The only other choice was falling down.
You used to walk with me like
We had nowhere we needed to go,
Nice and slow, to no place in particular.
We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
Everything had suddenly flown out of control. Brooklyn use to stop by the Baxter Building. She didn't do that any more. He use to stop by just to visit. He didn't do that anymore.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?
I used to reach for you when
I got lost along the way.
I used to listen.
You always had just the right thing to say.
I used to follow you.
Never really cared where we would go,
Fast or slow, to anywhere at all.
Johnny went to a bar Brooklyn and him would go to a lot. She wasn't there.
We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?
Johnny looked around at everyone at the bar and he realized that he missed Brooklyn, he wanted her right by his side. She under stood him like no one could.
I look around me,
And I want you to be there
'Cause I miss the things that we shared.
Look around you.
It's empty, and you're sad
Johnny started walking towards the door ignoring people calling his name, ignoring the girls wanting him. Johnny walked faster till he was at the door, he went out and walked to his bike down the street, his walk got faster and faster. He hoped on his bike and rode. He parked his bike a block away.
'Cause you miss the love that we had.
Johnny ran down the side walk to Brooklyn's building as fast as he could.
You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around,
The only one around.
We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be? Yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be, yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be.
Johnny knew the door would be locked, and he wasn't gonna open it either. If Brooklyn forgave him than fine, if not, than it was his own fault.
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Johnny leaned against the door. "Brooklyn I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." there was silence. Johnny knew that this time he was going to have to pour his heart out. Brooklyn had for him and he had hurt her.
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
"I was a jerk, an arrogant fool. And I don't deserve someone like you."
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
Tears rolled down Johnny's face. "Brooklyn," he sobbed, he didn't care if anyone saw him or not, he wasn't putting on a show for people he was apologizing to the woman he loved.
For all the things that never died,
"Please forgive me. Brooklyn, I was wrong, and I need you right here by my side. I love you. I was to stupid to see it. But now it's to late."
To make it through the night,
Johnny couldn't stand it. He stood with his head resting against the door. He heard crying on the other side of the door and than a smash. He got worried, he didn't care if Brooklyn was mad at him. He had to see if she was ok.
Love will find you.
Johnny unlocked the door and went in, locking the door behind him. "Brooklyn." he said carefully. He heard sobbing on the other side of the couch. He walked over to find something that made his heart break. Brooklyn with her legs out to the side. In back of her was a smashed vase, it was the one Johnny had given her. Johnny kneeled down in front of her, tears rolling down his, he didn't like to see Brooklyn crying and he had cause her this pain. "Brooky, I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry. I was a jerk and I understand if you don't ever want to see me. You don't' even need to say you forgive me."
"I do." Brooklyn said quietly, still crying.
"What?"
"I do." Brooklyn looked up at Johnny
What about now?
"I forgive you, with everything I have."
Johnny slowly smiled, and in turn made Brooklyn smile. He realized something. That was what she had needed and had been looking for. His smile always made her world. He remembered her telling him that once.
What about today?
"But I broke your vase." Brooklyn started to tear up again.
"That's ok." Johnny chuckled standing, "It's just a vase." he pulled Brooklyn to her feet and lead her out to her balcony.
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
"Brooky, I love you." he smiled and picked her up.
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Johnny and Brooklyn sat on some building watching the city.
What about now?
Brooklyn was standing looking over the edge of the building. Johnny walked up next to her. She turned, and he saw the sun coming up in her eyes.
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Brooklyn reached up and put arms around Johnny's neck, kissed him on the lips. When they parted, Johnny grinned.
"Somke'n."
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Johnny and Brooklyn sat watching the sun come up.
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.
Johnny put his arm around Brooklyn's shoulders, she leaned her head on his chest and sighed.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Next Night)
You, you got me
Thinking it'll be alright.
You, you told me,
"Come and take a look inside."
You believed me,
In every single lie.
But I, I failed you this time.
Johnny took Brooklyn out on a date.
And it feels like tonight.
I can't believe I'm broken inside.
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight,
Tonight.
I was waiting
For the day you'd come around.
I was chasing,
And nothing was all I found.
From the moment you came into my life,
Johnny realized that Brooklyn made him right, she was the thing that kept him going, was always there for him.
You showed me what's right.
And it feels like tonight.
I can't believe I'm broken inside.
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight.
I never felt like this before.
Just when I leave, I'm back for more.
Nothing else here seems to matter.
In these ever-changing days,
You're the one thing that remains.
I could stay like this forever.
And it feels like tonight.
I can't believe I'm broken inside.
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight.
Tonight.
Tonight.
'Cause there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you.
And it feels like tonight.
Tonight.
"Johnny I'm so gonna kill you." Brooklyn chased after him.
"It was a joke Brooky." Johnny laughed running from her.
"Yeah sure putting ice down my back is a joke, come back here Mr." Brooklyn chucked a piece of ice at Johnny.
He jumped out of the way.
"I'll get you." Brooklyn laughed.
(AA: Umm ok, please tell me if the last two chaps were lame or what, 'cause I don't know really. I mean yeah, I know I wrote them, but I need someone else perspective I guess. Thanks all you loyal fans, you guys are the ones that help me with this story. Flame On:)
