She looked up at the skies, begging for her tears to stop welling up and stop trying to fall. Next to her was the boy she thought she'd always love, always stay with. He was lying on the grass next to her but she was sitting, her arms around her legs as she pulled her knees closer to her dress. Then there was the sound of his phone, the ringing echoed in her ears.

"Why aren't you picking up the phone?" she whispered softly.
"Um..." he tried to find the words as his phone rang loudly, the only sound in the silent, cool night.
"It's her isn't it?" she asked as the ringing mocked her, made her wish for her to be everything the girl he loved now was.
"I-," he tried again, but the ringing stopped, and he stopped as well.
"Call her back, it's alright with me," she said as she avoided his brown-eyed gaze.
"Are you sure, Liz, I don't have-," he started.
"Dan, just go, just... go call her back," she finally managed to say as he got up from the ground and walked a little bit away, just so that she was out of ear shot.

She didn't want to cry, he knew that. He saw the green eyes of hers glistening in the moonlight, but he didn't want to believe that he hurt her. She didn't want him to believe that either. But if only, if only he knew, if only he knew that she had loved him for real, had a whole future set ahead and all of the plans included him. But he didn't, and now, she'd never tell...

He was walking back, across the cool green grass lawn as she continued to look up at the pitch black night that was set aflame by the twinkling stars. It was a romantic scene, the trees that arched gracefully and the boy and girl there. But all love was gone, only two friends trying to hold onto their friendship as best as possible only to fail.

"You have to go, don't you?" she asked.
"I'm sorry Liz, I'll make it up to you," he promised with sorrow.
"No, I understand, you have to watch her, go on, I'll be fine," she said in a monotone voice, a dead voice.
"But-," he started.
"No, I totally get it, just go," she said as he walked towards his car and when she heard the engine in the distant, she broke down and cried.

There were tears in her eyes, every day afterwards. She walked with a shadow over her emotions. She didn't know what to say anymore, or what to do. She looked straight ahead the next day, and saw him. His arm around the girl's shoulders and she remember, it used to be me. She walked away, at least, thats what everyone thought. Each step was another piece her heart was being ripped away, each second of living without him was another stab. She didn't know what to do and he looked at her later. He looked into her eyes, and the two of them saw the same thing. They both saw Elizabeth with tears in her eyes and the ghost of the happy girl she used to be.

She walked away, far away and she hoped to never come back, but misery followed and as she walked she cried, the tears she told herself she'd hold in fell, and she cried till tears were no longer in her green eyes. Till she told herself she'd hold it all in till it was time to cry again... and she didn't know what to do, so lost and so confused...

Short Story: [iThink iLove You...]

Short Story: I Think I Love You...
--

She's sitting there, she's not that far away from him. And he glances at her every once in a while but she's too busy, she's too lost in thought. She's always lost in thought, lost in her own little world. But something about her enticed him, led him towards her...

"Miss Wilderson, please pay more attention," the teacher, who was probably underpaid or not being paid enought for what he had to deal with everyday, sighed.

Her head snapped up and she dropped her pencil on the desk. She was drawing something. She always was. He looked at her. Her face was a bright red, flushed in embarrasment. She looked at the board as the teacher once again began to go more indepth about the joys of nature and something else about Biology that went into the boy's right ear and out the left.

Daniella always sat by the window. And the boy a few seats behind her. He never really saw her face though, only the back of her head. Or maybe more like her hair. Her long golden hair that fell down in unruly curls that looked nice on her. He was staring at her, he kenw he was. All his friends knew about this little crush and soon the professor shouting his name brought him back to Earth.

Before Thomas knew it, Daniella pulled a chair up next to him and opened up her science textbook. He was confused. What had the old fart been talking about again?

"Um... so what do you want to do the project on?" Daniella said in her normal soft voice.
"What project?" Thomas looked around in confusion.
"The science project... you know... the term project...?" she asked in confusion as he remembered it as something or another.
"Oh... um..." Thomas stammered. It seemed as if he lost his thinking ability whenever he was around her.
"It's okay, we can just brainstorm soe ideas, jot it down on seperate papers, mark it off as what we want to do and give it back to each other and then decide," Daniella suggested as Thomas shrugged and they got to work.

Daniella sat down at her desk ready to do her homework. She pulled out her Biology homework and remembered the project. Pulling out the lined paper she marked off the ones she hated in red and flipped over to the back.

"I Think I Love You..."

The paper flew onto the floor as she released it and her phone started to ring. She picked it up and held it to her ear. In her normal soft voice she greeted the person.

"Hey, did you get the Biology project thing?" Thomas asked nervously.
"Yea..." Daniella said nervously.
"Can you tell me what I wrote for the last five words?" he asked.

After a moment of silence, Daniella gathered up her courage and took a deep breath. A blush on her face that no one was around to witness, and her wits gathered.

"I think I love you," she said finally as he smiled to himself.
"Me too..." he said before the two hung up.

It each left the other wondering. What did this mean now...?

SongFic: [Tonight]

SongFic: Tonight
*Song: Tonight
*Artist: FM Static.
**iReally like the song and a little plot dragon flew into my head so here's the outcome!! :] Comments in the box on the right hand side. :o
--

I watched as the rain fell. The soft calm rain, the sounds of the rain hitting the window pane as I watched it hit against the glass. A car drove by and I sighed, the lights shone in the darkness of the night and I had no idea why I wasn't asleep like the rest of the city. I closed my eyes and wiped away a tear.

I remember how we used to be together and the times we shared. I wonder if you remember about all those times...

I remember the times we spent together
on those drives
We had a million questions
all about our lives
and when we got to New York
everything felt right
I wish you were here with me
tonight


The radio played on as I was lost in thought. I pulled on my sneakers and opened the door. I forgot about my jacket and grabbed my keys before slamming the door behind me. I looked at the city streets, the rain soaking me. I ran away, running and wishing you were there...

I remember the days we spent together
were not enough
and it used to feel like dreamin'
except we always woke up
Never thought not having you
here now would hurt so much


I kept running. More memories hitting me. Can't you see? Sometimes you'd be asleep and I'd stay awake just to watch you sleep. You always looked like an angel when you were asleep. And I told you that I'd be alright when you were gone. It was such a lie...

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight


Why I was so stupid, that was a question that I had no answer to. I let my tears mix with the rain as I continued to run. The song played in my mind and I looked up. If only you could see. The city lights drowned out the stars. But I thought I could make out one or two.

I remember the time you told me about when you were eight
And all those things you said that night that just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
and the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
and stayed out way too late
I remember the time you told me about your Jesus
and how not to look back even if no one believes us
When it hurt so bad sometimes
not having you here


I looked around. I ran across the street. Everyone looked like you at the moment. I didn't know it would hurt like this. I told you that I'd be fine if you left me. What a fool. I stumbled upon the shop we ate together in, the one with the killer coffee and biscotti you loved. I grabbed the parking meter to keep my balance and ran again. I ran past the church you made me go to with you...

I sing,
"Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight"


I run all the way to park and I fall. Where are you? Why aren't you here to help me up? I let myself cry, regardless of the fact that crying was a sign of weakness. I felt that wrenching pain on my heart and the rain stops.

I sing,
"Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight"


I continue to cry though and I pull myself back up and closed my eyes. I think I can see you sometimes. And, my love, I miss you... Where are you? The stars hold the answers. You told me that I should just look up at the sky if I missed you. I miss you more than ever now. You're gone. Amongst the stars. And I know that if I were to drive out to the countryside, I'd see them and I'd know you're the one that shines the brightest.

I walked over to the slab of stone, the one that has an angel gril perched upon it and I run my fingers across the engraved name. Belle I miss you... my love... and someday... I'll join you. I look up at the sky, the heavens beyond and I know that everytime, you'll be there to help me if I fall. Because you're watching me, the stars are with you, smiling with you and I know that you're going to be here with me... for the rest of my life...
