Author�s Notes: The tenth story in my CJ/Toby post-ep series.
I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
Toby sat on the steps in front of the Licoln Memorial and pulled his coat tighter around himself to try to ward off the cold. He�d been sitting there for almost two hours, since he�d left the bar Sam had been at. He thought she�d be here by now.
Theres nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but theres no sound
But she wasn�t.
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
It didn�t really surprise him. He knew she was still mad at him over the leadership breakfast. He couldn�t really blame her. He was still mad at himself. He�d let her down. It seemed that was all he knew how to do now. He�d let Josh down over Christmas, her with the breakfast, and now Sam.
Won�t you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don�t know who you are
but I... I'm with you
He didn�t seem to know how to do anything else anymore.
I�m looking for a place
searching for a face
He didn�t know if she�d forgive him this time. Didn�t know if he deserved to be forgiven.
is anybody here I know
cause nothing�s going right
and everything�s a mess
and no one likes to be alone
After all, how many times could he really expect her to?
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Sometimes he wondered if maybe it was time for him to leave, to move on. He didn�t seem to be doing a lot of good for the administration.
Won�t you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don�t know who you are
but I... I'm with you
But where would he go? What would he do? This was the only thing he knew how to do.
oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea
He didn�t know what to do. And she wasn�t there for him to talk to.
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won�t you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
It�d been a long time since they talked.
I don�t know who you are
but I... I'm with you
He didn�t know how to go back to who they were.
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
Maybe they couldn�t.
I don�t know who you are
but I... I'm with you
Toby was startled out of his thoughts by the sound of heels clicking on the pavement. Surprised, he looked up.
I'm with you
She stopped in front of him, and stood there, looking down. She�d come.
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don�t know who you are
but I... I'm with you
Without a word, she put out her hand, and stood, waiting for him to take it.
I'm with you
He grasped her hand and allowed her to help pull him up, then followed her as she went to her car.
I'm with you...
