Agh! I'm so obsessed with this, it's such a problem! I can't stop writing! I need a new hobby... Well, here's the next chapter using the song "Hello". If anybody has requests for songs just PM me, but please make them Evanescence songs, or something really similar. This is when Candy wakes up, mainly through her point of view, maybe a little Sweet Tooth thrown in there to make things interesting. I hope the story isn't getting to old. Once again, Candy= normal, ST=underlined, lyrics= italics. Well, on with the show!
A ringing startles me awake, my first thought is of the bell at an elementary school, like the one my boyfriend goes to to pick up his little brother. Since when have I been asleep?
Playground school bell rings, again.
It's dark in my room, but the clock says its late afternoon. I can hear the thunder and rain outside. The rain sounds like a jackhammer pounding on my skull, my head hurts so much.
Rain clouds come to play, again.
God, when is she going to wake up? The last time I checked on her, she was barely breathing. Please don't die on me! I don't think I could live knowing that I killed you, my only love.
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
That nagging little voice in the back of my head starts talking again. It's been so long since I've heard that voice I forgot it was there. The last time I heard it was before I fell into that vat. Once again it mocks me, telling me I'm weak. It screams at me to kill you now and create more havoc later. Is it possible that it came back stronger, harder to ignore?
Hello, I am your mind giving you someone to talk to.
I cautiously sit up, it makes my head throb more if that was even possible. I reach up and feel my forehead. It comes away sticky with half-dried blood. Everything that happens comes flooding back. So your really are alive! I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I hear clattering coming from the other room, I inch towards the door.
Hello.
I crack the door open just a hint. I catch a glimpse of your bright pink sleeve and close the door again. I can't believe that your still here. Then, even odder, I realize that your cooking in my kitchen. Since when have you ever cooked? Especially in my kitchen. Maybe if I close my eyes, I'll really wake up and you'll be gone. Yeah, that's it, I'm just dreaming!
If I smile and don't believe,
If I just go back to sleep you'll go away. I walk back to my bed and slip under the covers. I try to close my eyes but my head won't stop spinning. I feel like I'm falling.
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream.
STOP YELLING AT ME! It won't shut up! I fall to the floor bringing a lot of the dishes and ingredients to the floor with me. I thought cooking, doing something, would make it go away. I know I can make it go away if I try hard enough. I'm stronger than this.
Don't try to fix me I'm not broken.
The voice tells me that I'm weak, that I can't do anything right. I start to whimper as it gets louder and louder. Why won't it go away? Is this what drove me to become Sweet Tooth instead of being myself?
Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide,
Tears start to fall from my eyes involuntarily. Stop. Stop! Stop! It won't stop yelling, I scream hoping it will drown it out, but it just gets louder. I clamp my hands over my ears in a vain attempt to make it stop.
Don't cry.
I hear a crash. Then he starts to scream and cry, yelling for "it" to shut up. What is "it"? Or is "it" a who? Now I know I can't really be dreaming. I could never even dream that he would break down and cry.
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping.
I peek out of the door again and see him on the floor surrounded by dishes. I've never seen him be so helpless before. I walk out towards him. I must be crazy, this man tormented me but I'm still coming back? I kneel down next to him and grab his hand. He looks up at me.
Hello I'm I'm still here,
I wipe away his tears, he looks bewildered. In the next second I'm trapped inside of his hug. He's never hugged me before. When he releases me I sit on the floor next to him and let him apologize.
All that's left of yesterday.
I'm sorry that I'm a screwed up fangirl! The minute I found this song I knew how I had to write it! I'm not sure if this will be the last chapter or not, but we'll see. I hope everybody liked it! :-)
