F is for Father-this one is a little sad, it's a song fic. I don't own the song, I Miss You by Miley Cyrus.
Tears came from Dawn's eyes. She had told Brock and Ash she had to be alone today. It was the day of the crash her Dad was in. She always spent the day in their field with the guitar he gave her. (Guitar on Profile) She started strumming it and sang a little, but changed her mind and sang a song she had made the previous year.
Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms
A purple haired boy stood at the edge of the trees watching her sing.
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me
He was surprised when tears came down her face harder.
[CHORUS:]
i miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
my heart wont let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
He felt a pang in his heart, seeing the usually so happy-go-lucky girl, so sad...
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm living out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast
A single tear came down his cheek, but he swiped it away quickly, suprised and stared at it.
[CHORUS]
He felt the need to go out and comfort her.
I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
He watched the teardrops fall on her guitar.
[CHORUS x2]
He started to walk towards her.
"Are you okay?" he asked quietly.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Yeah! Go away Paul! I don't need you being mean today!" she yelled.
"I'm sorry Dawn." he said quietly.
"You said my name?!" Dawn squeaked.
He looked up and gave her a smile, "Figured you needed a pick-me-up." he said. She stood up, hugged him, and sobbed into him. He sat down and rubbed her back. They stayed like that for awhile.
Brock and Ash had come to get Dawn at sunset, but they had seen her sobbing into Paul and Paul looked up at them and mouthed, "Go. I'll tell you two later."
She looked up at him and said, "Thank you..." and gave him a peck on the lips.
"Your welcome Dawn....I do care about you, believe it or not." he said. Dawn gave him a watery smile.
"I care about you too." she said and tried to kiss him deeply, but he pulled away. Dawn looked down,
"Oh.."she murmured.
"Dawn, no. It's not that I don't like you that way, I don't want your feelings about your father to get in the way. I don't want you to regret kissing me, and give me hope for no reason." he smiled sadly.
Dawn smiled up at him and said, "I am in complete control of my emotions Paul. And I want to kiss you." she insisted. Paul looked at her uncertain. Dawn leaned up and kissed him. This time he didn't pull away, but kissed her back.
When they broke apart, the wind blew and sounded as if someone had say, "That's my girl...."
