Chapter Twelve
Grieving
A few days later Rouge sat in her living room, she had the low lighting on and was staring out of the widow at the moon and stars that shone brightly as she was listening to the radio on her HI FI.
"Shadow…" she whispered "if only you were still here….this is such a happy moment…yet so sad…as I'm so lonely without you" As she was lost in her thoughts, the DJ on the radio began to announce the next song. "…and now a song for those who dream of love…it's 'Dreaming of You'" Rouge turned to the HI FI and sighed as the song played.
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too
As she listened, she felt tears come to her eyes, she had been wishing, even praying that Shadow would one day come back to her. She even wondered whether Shadow was thinking about her, if he was still alive and whether he was trying desperately to come back to her.
Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me
Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I do)
I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me
Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you
Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you; I love you too"
Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...
As the song ended Rouge ran a hand over her stomach, as she did, she smiled through her tears as she felt her stomach was a little big bigger, she had noticed she had put on some weight and her trousers were getting tighter. "I'll take care of you my child" she whispered, "I promise, everything will be ok, just be healthy, and well, you're all I have left of Shadow…please be ok…."
Hey again people! I just felt like writing a chap with Rouge remembering her love. Hope you like!
