Dwelling In The Past 2

Chapter 14

As time favored none and especially not Jin, the two lovers had to separate. The teen tiger slowly turned away, misery and regret filling his every step, and started for the entrance to the Valley of Peace. He had nowhere to go now, except… No! I swore i would never go back!... B-But maybe the short distance will be enough to keep the memory alive…

And so the tiger left for a place he had hoped he'd never have to see again… The place where his mother died, where his father abandoned him, the place that was once his 'home'… Hua Ru.

Back with Viper:

The lonely snake was quetly sobbing with hear head down low and her body coiled around itself.

"P-Please come b-back… J-Jin… P-Please…"

The was no sound other than her broken heart falling to the ground. But there was one thing she had to do… for him…

I still remember the look on your face
Been through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me so why did you go away, go away

I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th the beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then you pulled me in
I'm not much for dancing but for you did

Because I loved your handshake, meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

And I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips, ohh

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I'll feel you forget me like I use to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
We can plan for a change in weather and time
I never planned on you changing your mind

So, I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

I never thought we'd have last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss, forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips, just like our last…

She couldn't hold it together anymore… the pain was simply too strong… And that night Viper cried herself to sleep, hoping that it was all just a bad dream that would dissapear as soon as she woke up to the sight of that silly smile… to the sight of Jin…

With Jin:

After a couple of days of walking, the depressed tiger arriver at the dreaded town of Hua Ru. The town folk were living like nothing ever happened, without a care in the world… well except for the merchants ofcourse.

With the few belongings he had taken with and the little money he had he sought a way to quell his sorrows. And what better way than the inn his father alway went to get drunk and beat him up after his mother died. The Raging Falcon. What a fitting name. Full of drunks ready to start a fight for no reason just so they could have a little 'fun'.

Jin made his way to an empty seat infront of the counter. When the male goat asked him what he'd like, he only motioned to the white bottle of rice wine. Without a word, the goat poured him glass after glass, late into the evening. Full on drunk and depression settling in even more then before he literally begged the goat for more when he was refused due to the goats moralle or something like that.

"Please i beg you just one more…"

"No Sir you have had enough. I think its time that you went home to sleep this off."

Jin looked at the elder goat with a blank expression, then dropped his head onto his arms.

"Please just pour me one more… I have nowhere to go anyway…"

Pour me, pour me, pour me another,
It holds me, holds me,
Like no other,
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home,
Truth is, I don't really have a place to go,
So pour me, pour me, pour me another.

I wake up right about the mid-afternoon,
With the sun in the sky but night's coming soon,
And I walk to the mirror just to fix myself,
Yeah life gets harder when you love nothing else,
So I pick my pills from the counter drawer,
Pick my self-esteem up off the fucking floor,
I guess I'm a man of no recourse,
As I crack another bottle, got no remorse,
And I'll say a little prayer for the child in me,
I swear I used to be what I truly believe,
That I'm not just a man with these broken dreams,
That even I could go to heaven,
If I part the seas
So...

Pour me, pour me, pour me another,
It holds me, holds me,
Like no other,
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home,
Truth is, I don't really have a place to go,
So pour me, pour me, pour me another.

People get sickened to watch you bleed,
When you fell from the top, boy you better believe,
At the bottom, they got just, yeah, just what you need,
Well at the bottom, you can't swim 'cause you drank up the sea,
Then we stop and we look up to the sky,
They don't ask any questions, they ask us why?
Don't have any answers, don't know what to say,
Our knees are getting tired,
Too tired to pray,
That's when we laid down the end of the road,
We all seem to walk and I guess I walked it alone,
And I'm not just a man with these broken dreams,
Even I could go to heaven,
If I part the sea

Pour me, pour me, pour me another,
It holds me, holds me,
Like no other,
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home,
Truth is, I don't really have a place to go,
So pour me, pour me, pour me another.

Time just seems to go on and on,
On and on,
And on and on,
Life inside a bottle all alone,
All alone,
The bottles gone,

I'm not just a man with these broken dreams,
Even I could go to heaven,
If I part the sea
[Danny:]
What's life inside a bottle if it's gone?
[J3T:]
One more song and I'm finally free,
I'll meet you here in heaven, between the sea,
'Cause I'm not just a man with these broken dreams,
Even I could go to heaven,
If I part the sea
So...

Pour me, pour me, pour me another,
It holds me, holds me,
Like no other,
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home,
Truth is, I don't really have a place to go,
So pour me, pour me, pour me another.

Pour me, pour me, pour me, pour me,
Pour me another,
Pour me, pour me, pour me, pour me,
Pour me another.

The only sound that filled the room now was the clink of a bottle and a liquid pouring into a broken tigers' cup.
