Love you all.
The song is "Happy Ending" by Mika
p.s. – Still can't use my question mark key.
Chapter 12:
This is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending
Melody rolled over in her bed. She was cold. It seemed like she was always cold now. She couldn't seem to get warm. Kes had given her almost all the blankets that they had in the house and they had even filled her bed with hot water bottles and warm towels, but she just couldn't get warm.
She could barely remember going back to New York. All she could remember was what he had said to her.
This is the way that we love,
Like its forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
"Because you should marry me!"
He didn't say anything for a moment, but when he did speak, she wished that he hadn't. "Melody. We can't be together and you know it. That's why you pushed me away five months ago. Melody," he sighed, "You were right. We can't be together. We both keep getting stuck in the past. What you need to realize is that what's past is past. I've moved on, I thought you had too."
And then he turned away from her.
He left her forever.
Wake up in the morning,
Stumble on my life.
Can't get no love without sacrifice.
If anything should happen,
I guess I wish you well.
A little bit of heaven
With a little bit of hell
Spot sighed and carefully straightened his tie for the third time in fifteen minutes. He glanced at the door when it opened and shut softly. It was Heidi.
"Hey," she said quietly, "How are you doing."
"Fine," his voice cracked and he smiled at her weakly.
She batted his hands away and straightened his tie, "Are you ready," she asked, "Emma is."
Spot looked away from her. "Heidi, why am I doing this."
"Because," she paused, "you love Emma."
"Yeah," he said quietly, "I love Emma."
This is the hardest story that I've ever told.
No hope, no love, no glory.
A happy ending gone forever more.
I feel as if I'm wasted,
And I'm wasted every day
Melody looked across the large dance floor in Meddah's large dance hall. She caught Jack's eye and he looked at her concernedly. The two hadn't spoken much since Melody had gotten back to New York. She thought he knew what had happened and he had taken the responsibility of ending their relationship.
She smiled at him wearily and looked down when he stood up and started walking towards her. He sat down next to her and held her hand gently. She looked back up at him and he smiled sympathetically when tears started making their way down her cheeks. He pulled her close and held her.
Two o'clock in the morning,
Something's on my mind.
Can't get no rest,
Keep walking around
Spot slowly made his way to the front of the rows of chairs. He and Emma were getting married in the small town square. He knelt next to his mother who was sitting in the front row. She smiled up at him softly and he kissed her hand softly before murmuring, "I love you."
She smiled sadly and said, "I love you too."
He knew she didn't want him to marry Emma; she had made that very clear over the past few weeks. She hadn't spoken to him for a week after Melody had abruptly left a day after her arrival.
He smiled at Emma's family who was sitting across the isle.
The minister came over and hurried Spot up to the front before signaling the small string quartet to start playing. Spot watched as the other members of the wedding party made their way to the front. He felt his heart start to beat faster as Emma made her way down the isle to stand next to him. She looked beautiful in her long flowing white dress and veil. But something didn't feel right to him.
He glanced at Mae who was staring at him forcefully. He pulled his gaze away from her and found himself also locked in Emma's stare. She smiled up and him and took his hands in hers. He forced himself to smile down at her, but by the confused expression on her face he didn't accomplish more then a twitch of his lips.
He sighed and calmed himself down before pushing a real smile onto his face. Her smile reappeared and she looked at the minister. The instant she stopped looking at him he dropped the smile and looked back at Mae.
If I pretend that nothing ever went wrong
I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on.
By the end of the ceremony Spot had almost driven himself into hysterics. Why was he doing this.
He glanced over at Emma who smiled and slowly said, "I do."
The minister then turned to Spot and repeated the vows that Emma had written.
"Say it," Spot told himself, "Now! Say it."
After a moment of silence Emma murmured, "Ben, are you ok." He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She squeezed his hands and said, "Ben, please, say something."
He smiled and looked up at her before saying, "Melody."
This is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like its forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
