So here's "If you Ever Come Back" part two of the three part dream. I'm gonna try to find a way to work "Science and Faith" in here. That and "This is Love/ This = Love"(which ever you call it). Anyway, here's chapter 7
Damian's POV
If you're standing with your suitcase
But you can't step on the train
Everything's the way you left it
I still haven't slept yet
I heard that Lindsay was taking a train to London. I hope she couldn't get on. I hope she's coming back soon. Everything's the same way it was that fatal day when she left me. I hadn't changed a thing and I was not about to move out in case she came back. It's almost like back when we were in high school.* I hoped it was all just a dream, but I knew it wasn't. I hadn't slept at all since the day she left.
And if you're covering your face now
But you just can't hide the pain
Still setting two plates on the counter, but eating without ya
I could see her now. Covering her beautiful face with her hands, as she cried into them. She could try to be strong in front of me, but I knew better. It had been a few days and I still made a meal for two. I still set two plates at the table. The only difference was that I was eating without her.
If the truth is you're a liar
Than just say that you're okay
I'm sleeping on your side of the bed
Goin' out of my head now
I hoped she lied to Marissa when they talked on the phone. She said she was fine, she was ok, and she was almost on her way to London. But if she's a good a liar as an actress, then she would just get on the train and keep telling everyone she was fine. I was sleeping on her side of the bed. I really was going out of my head.
And if you're out there trying to move on
But something pulls you back again
I'm sitting here trying to persuade you like you're in the same room.
I know I'm loosing it. I'll sit there and talk to myself, as if Lindsay were there. As if maybe if I talked to myself, she would hear me and come running back. I'm loosing it without her.
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind
I wish she could still be here, just not talking to me. I wish she could still give me a hard time, I could manage that. I wish I could still wish she were gone. I hope wishing isn't a waste of time, I hope I cross her mind. But right now, I don't even care if I don't cross her mind. All I care about is her being safe. I miss her.
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, If you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back, if you ever come back
I'll leave the door open for her, incase she comes back. There'll be a light in the hall and if I happen to lock the door, there'll be a key under the mat. If she comes back, I'll have the biggest smile ever and the kettle will be on, and we'll drink warm milk like we used to. It would be like before we lost Marley. If only she could come back to me.
Now they say I'm wasting my time
'Cause you're never comin' home
But they used to say the world was flat
But how wrong was that now?
Cameron and Derek came over one day. "Uncle Damo!" Derek said as he ran into my arms. I looked at Cameron, "Hey, Cam." "Derek, could you leave me and Uncle Damo alone for a while. We need to have a 'grown-ups' talk, ok?" Cameron asked his son. "Okay Dada," he said as he ran to go play with the little area we thought was going to be used by Marley.
"So Damian, do you really think she's going to come back? I mean, maybe you're wasting your time. I miss the old you, Marissa misses the old you, your mom misses the old you, hell everyone does. We need the old Damo back," Cameron said.
"Cameron, they used to say the world was flat. They swore the world was flat. Were they wrong? Yes. So I'm not ever going to give up hope that Lindsay's coming back. I love her and I know that she loves me. Cameron, what if Marissa had left you? You would probably be doing the same thing that I am," I said. Cameron sighed, he knew we were getting no where with this conversation.
And by leaving my door open
I'm risking everything I won
There's nothing I can loose in the break-in that you haven't taken
I leave the door open every day and night in hopes that one beautiful girl with black hair and blue eyes comes back to me. I could loose everything I own by this, but I don't care. I lost my world when Lindsay left.
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind
I know that everyone thinks that I'm crazy and that I should just give up, but I won't. I never will Lindsay is my one and only and I will never give up on her or what we had. I know I told her I did, but that was a lie. I miss her.
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, If you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back, if you ever come back
One day I thought I heard some noise at the door. It was always open so that wasn't new to me. Marissa walked in with Hannah. Oh no. They've called Hannah, they were really worried.
"Damo!" Hannah said. "Hey." "Damian, you can do better than that. This is Hannah for crying out loud!" Marissa said. "Oh, I'm sorry I haven't really been in the pleasant mood," I snapped back. "Wow, he's that far gone huh?" Hannah asked.
Marissa took her aside and said, "Yeah, he leave the door on the latch, he leaves the light in the hall on and a key under the mat. He really hopes she comes back. I don't know, I just don't think she will this time."
"I can hear you Marissa!" I said. She looked guilty and came back with Hannah. They've thought I lost it!
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
If it's the fighting you remember or the little tings you miss
Oh just remember this, oh just remember this
"Damian?" I herd someone call. No, it couldn't be. "Lindsay?" I asked as I walk toward the door. "Damian!" she said with tears in her and her suitcase right next to her. "Lindsay!" I said as I ran to her. We held each other for what seemed like forever. When she finally pulled away, I felt like I still needed more time. We went to the couch and sat down. There would be much to talk about.
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, If you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back, if you ever come back
"What made you come back?" I asked. "I missed you so much Damian. I missed coming home to you. I missed the way you held me in your arms. I missed everything. What did you do while I was gone?' she asked as I held her tight in my arms.
"I left the door on the latch incase you came back. I left a light in the hall and a kettle on. I left a key under the mat," I said. "Oh, Damian," she said as she kissed me.
Suddenly I was awake. I was in bed and Lindsay was next to me. What had happened? I left a note on the door and I ran to Cameron's place.
"Damo, what's up?" he asked. "Did I tell you Lindsay came back?" I asked. "You never told me she left,' he said. "What do you mean? You saw how much of a wreck I was!" I said. "Damian, I think you dreamed it all,' he said.
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
I went home that day. She never left. It was all just a dream. A horrible dream. Whoa. So she it really was like she was never gone, because she never really left. That night I came home, and we had a real conversation, like before we lost Marley. Lindsay never left.
And what do you think? So the next story will be off "Before the Worst" where Lindsay has the same dream, but it will obviously be from her point of view. *"Man Who Can't be Moved" Well thanks for reading!
