hey guys, here's the sequeL to 'it doesnt get better than this... it's a songfic to lifehouse's 'you and me'... hope you Like it..
You and Me
What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive.
Two months. We’ve already been together two months. Well, two months, nine days, fifteen hours and twenty-seven seconds, to be exact. And I’d be the happiest guy alive to just be able to add ‘and counting’ to the previous sentence.
I can’t keep up
And I can’t back down
I’ve been losing so much time.
Everything happened so fast. I just came home from school to see a very depressed, even heartbroken look on Pim and my parent’s faces. Part of me just waned to leave them there and head straight up to my room. I didn’t want to know why… but I still had to ask.
Just before ‘why?’ escaped my mouth, two grown men entered our living room. I noticed their uniforms and badges and understood why. I felt the same, heartbroken look develop in my face.
Time police. They were the Time Police from the twenty-second century. And they have been looking for us for the past year. Now that they found us, we can be ‘rescued’. Taken back to the twenty-second century.
I tried to tell them. I tried to tell them that we didn’t need rescuing. That we were happy… that I was happy… But they didn’t seem to care. They said we had no choice. We had to go back, for our safety, and everyone else’s. We couldn’t risk changing the future and damaging the very fabric of time….
We leave in a week.
Cause it’s you and me
And all other people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it’s you and me
And all other people
And I don’t know why
I can’t take my eyes off of you.
I ran up to my room, picked up the phone and started dialing. I had to tell her… but when I heard her voice on the other side of the line, I couldn’t. I put the phone down. I couldn’t tell her… I didn’t know how to. I promised her this would never happen. That no matter what, we’d stay here… That I’d stay with her. I couldn’t just call her and tell her everything I told her that day in the park wasn’t true… anymore. I couldn’t just tell her we have to go back and there was nothing I can do about it. I couldn’t just be like every guy she dated before me, every guy I loathed. I couldn’t break her heart…<br>
But I had to.
All of the things that I wanna say
Just aren’t coming out right.
I’m trippin’ on words; you got my head spinning
I don’t know where to go from here.
I couldn’t sleep for days. I was thinking of ways to tell her, but there was no way to sugarcoat it. I had to leave. Funny how four words can cause a person so much pain.
The night before we left, I took her out to dinner. I had to tell her. She’s been noticing that something was bothering me all week. She kept asking and I kept on making excuses. I thought that if made up enough excuses about how Pim wrecked my room or how Curtis broke the skyak, those excuses, and not our departing to the future, would be the worst of my problems. But I had to go back to reality...
I took her home and she invited me in… that’s when I told her. For minutes, she was just…there, dumbstruck. She couldn’t believe it either. And then she broke down. She started crying, yelling, even punching me. The sight of her crying because of me felt like having my heart ripped out of my chest and chopped into small, bite-sized pieces to feed to the dogs. And she probably felt the same way. I finally did it…<br>
I broke her heart.
Cause it’s you and me and all other people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
I tried to comfort her, to calm her down. But really, what was there to do? There was nothing I can say to make her feel better. The only way to do so was to tell her it was all a joke and we weren’t leaving… but it wasn’t.
And it’s you and me and all other people
And I don’t know why
I can’t keep my eyes off of you.
The day finally came. We loaded out things into the time machine. I took one last look at the house. As I climbed in to the time machine, I heard the gate to the backyard open and close.
Something about you now
I can’t quite figure out
I didn’t expect her to come, seeing as she was mad at me the previous night. But she just stood there, smiling.
Everything she does is beautiful
It was obvious that she had been crying, though. Her eyes were read and puffy, and she wasn’t wearing any make-up. But it didn’t matter to me, she still looked beautiful.
And everything she does is right
She ran into my arms and hugged me…tight. Tears started pouring down from her eyes as well as mine.
Cause it’s you and me
And all other people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it’s you and me
And all other people
And I don’t know why
I can’t take my eyes off of…
Then, I kissed her. I didn’t care that there were at least five people watching us. And neither did she…<br>
That was our last kiss.
…you and me
And all other people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it’s you and me
And all other people
And I don’t know why
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I hopped in the time machine and after what seemed like a split-second. I was standing outside the time machine, at the exact place we kissed less than a minute ago… but something was different…<br>
I was back in the twenty-second century.
What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive…
