You guys wanted me to do a carry on from Day 68 - Dark, and I have! It's based on the song Fix You by Coldplay but it's not in exact places. I was listening to it at the time I was writing it but the lines from the lyrics are a little jumbled up, but you should understand why. And sorry I haven't updated in so long, it's cause I've been so busy with life in general :P For one, school is being really hard now that we're coming to the end of the school term but we finish 4 days before Christmas so I'm hoping I'll be able to write more! I want to get this finished by the most the end of the year! Thanks to seddierules2468 for this idea!

Day 69 of 100 Days of Seddie Challenge: Lights – Fix You
Continued from Day 68.
Sam POV
It took me a few moments to process what Freddie had just said to me. He wanted me back and I let him walk away in the dark by himself with just the street lights to guide him home. It took me a few more moments to realise that he was walking away from me, doubting everything that he had just said, and I couldn't let that happen.
I ran back inside where my date was inside. We had clicked straight away but I always knew there was something missing from our...relationship – I wasn't even sure if it was that. Sure we laughed and enjoyed each other's company but I was a different Sam with him, I couldn't be myself like I could be with Freddie.
As soon as I saw Ryan's face I said to him, "This isn't going to work," and grabbed my coat.
"It's him, isn't it?" he asked me.
"Yeah," I said. "Sorry." I ran out the house running after Freddie who was long gone.
The street lights and car headlights going past were blinding as I ran as fast as I could to get to him. I could still hear his voice ringing in my head 'And I realised that you weren't mine anymore' but he was wrong. No one had ever had a hold of me like he had and I doubted anyone ever could. When I said I loved him I meant it, and I knew that no one would ever be able to have the connection I had with Freddie.
I got what I wanted but not what I needed. I needed Freddie, and when I realised that, tears (whether they were from the cold that was blasting into my eyes as I ran, or just from the overwhelming unwanted emotions or maybe both) were streaming down my face. I had lost something that could never be replaced and the love I felt for him went to waste because we didn't want each other anymore. Well that's what I thought, anyway. Nothing could be worse than what I was feeling in that moment.
Lights would guide me home, and my home wasn't where Ryan was, it was where Freddie was heading. My lungs felt ten times heavier as I continued to run down the street, trying to catch up to Freddie. He was the one that could make me feel whole, could fix me. I needed him. With that thought in my head I ran harder and faster to get to him. He was a fast walker, but I never realised how long I had been standing in the cold looking at him until he disappeared around the corner so he could be home by now.
Tears were streaming down my face and I wiped them away so I could see where I was going. The tears refused to stop no matter how much I wiped them away and I decided it was a mix of the cold and emotions. I guessed showing weakness was a light punishment for not seeing my mistakes, but I would learn from them from then on. I would try to fix it with him, I would do whatever it took for him to forgive me for letting him walk away from me, whether it was last year when we had dated, or just a few minutes before.
At last I could see him, his shoulders squared and his head down looking at the floor.
"Freddie!" I called down the road. He stopped and turned around.
I finally caught up with him and almost launched myself on him. I put my lips to his and responded just as fiercely and I couldn't remember the last time we had ever kissed like this. It was perfect.
We pulled apart and I spoke first. "Look, I'm sorry. For everything. For letting you go then and a year ago, for even trying to forget we happened, for everything I've ever done to upset you, apart from the obvious things that I did intentionally."
He nodded and sniffed at the same time I did and I saw a few streaks that tears had left behind on his face. I laughed quietly when I realised that we had both been crying.
"What?" he asked, his voice a little husky from not using it.
"We've both been crying," I said and he laughed a little with me.
"You cried?" he asked me.
"I think it was mostly to do with the cold..." I said.
"Uh huh," he said sarcastically.
"It was!" I said defending myself.
"I believe you!" he said and laughed.
We both rubbed our tears from our faces and I took the first deep breathe since I had been running.
"I'll learn from my mistakes, so I'm never going to let you go again," I concluded.
"This isn't just your fault," he said. "It was mutual wasn't it? So I'm taking half the credit. I'm not going to let you go either, ever."
And with that he leaned in and kissed me.
And I will try, to fix you.
I thought this chapter was pretty cute, what did you think? Review! :D
And guys, guess who I saw last night? It is to do with my pen-name, charliemeatsix...I saw You Me At Six last night who are the greatest band of this time! They performed at Wembley Arena in London (20 minutes from me, woot ;D) and they completely sold out of tickets and this is honestly the most amazing thing any band could ever do because they have worked so hard to get this far and fill out one of the biggest venues in the whole of the UK, so I'm so proud of them, and the DVD comes out in February of them performing and I am soooo getting it for my birthday which is in February, so good timing for me, right? ;)
Anyway, enough with my life story! Review pleaaaase! :D
