·My Someone·
Okaie, yet another songfic. The song is Blurry by Puddle of Mudd which has always been a favourite of mine. The stanza the story finished with is written by me though, in immitaton of the song. This stowy is named by Kammah, and the rest of © by me! Keldryie 2003
When she actually smiled he knew she was drunk, and it was so unbelievably cute he had to take a photo. The lighting in the formal was dark, so it took him a while to focus his camera, so it wasn’t so blurry…and in that time she almost tripped over her own feet. So he quickly snapped a photo and set his camera down, before capturing her in his arms, his jacket wrapping around them both.
They rested against the cool glass walls and watched everyone around them. Everyone was dressed as movie characters, that being the theme of the costume party, which had been the choice for their Year 11 Formal. Some of the males looked a bit empty, a bit lost without their usual drugs and liquor since it was a weeknight. 11pm already and they hadn’t touched a drop? To wait for their after party certainly was a task…a task to big for some to handle Serena thought to herself vaguely.
She felt Todd leave her, as he got called away for a few minutes by one of his mates, leaving her by herself, something he rarely did voluntarily. A frown creased her mouth, as she stood alone, and then stumbled as she decided to get herself another drink.
Everything's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Preoccupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
With an affectionate laugh Todd caught her, appearing beside her as if by magick, lowering her to the ground gently so she didn’t hurt herself. He grabbed a nearby seat and pulled it over, sitting on it while resting his hands on her shoulders protectively, while she collected her thoughts and the noise and laughter spilled around them.
Eventually she managed to stand up again, only to sit herself in his lap, tugging her own jacket cloak over her body, curling up in his lap tiredly, her bare shoulders shivering slightly, despite the tight leather clothing that covered the rest of her body.
“Do you wanna leave?” he questioned, a finger trailing her fringe, pushing it gently back in place instead of in front of her eyes.
He was answered with a shake of her head. “I’m happy here…the atmosphere is nice…and it’s my last formal here…I don’t want to leave until the very end…”
A lump filled Todd’s throat. His girl was leaving after the Christmas holidays, her father being a aircraft technician for the air force meant that she for relocated wherever he was needed. Her family had lived there for five very happy years…and for a while there she had him convinced they were there to stay. Her father had even thought about if they wanted him to move again he’d leave the airline and either finally retire young, or take part in a small business with one of the many friends their family had made there…
Todd cleared his mind as Serena nuzzled close, kissing his lips gently, the sweet taste of Midori still in her mouth. He held her close, as a few of their friends laughed at their display of affection and took a photo of two of the priceless image.
Todd blinked back tears at this memory, his fingers fonderling the worn sides of the photo which showed himself and his darling girl by his side, dressed up as Neo and Trinity. Oh god the memories…
You could be my someone,
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you’re doing
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
It hurt so, so much to be away from her, with only memories, photos, letters, presents from years back, phone calls, internet chats, to make him feel closer to her.
It sounded like a lot, but when all you want to do is hold her as close as he used to be able to…it just wasn’t fair…
One day soon though they’d be together again. She was finished her first College course, and he’d just finished year 12. They were ready to take the next step…and move in together…the very thought still sent chills down his spine, even though they had talked of living together before they had even been together for a year.
What if he messed up though?
What if she was different now?
What is she had found another…
He just couldn’t live without her…
She meant so much to him, and without the thought of being with her forever in the future was what kept him going…without her he was nothing…
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it my face
The thought of living without her in his life was almost unbearable…
The pain of being away from her…just as bad…
He truly loved her…and he hoped to Hell and Heaven that he was just as special to her…
Everyone is changing
There's no one left that's real
To make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
'Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
Todd walked around aimlessly in his house, his parents out for the night. He was desperate to call her, to get in contact with her in any way possible…but her net was down and anyway, she was out on a camping trip with her parents…
He grumbled out loud and flopped back down onto his bed, before curling up tight and almost screaming, as the memories flooded back…memories of them both curled up together on the very same bed…the very same doona and sheets…
He cursed out loud and wanted, no NEEDED to smash something. His hand fumbled out onto his bedside table for something, his fingers closing around on the first thing he found…
A photo of himself and Serena at her 17th birthday, down on the beach, her in a new pure white dress, whispery and lovely in it’s own girly way, the ripped ends (As was the fashion) wet from their walk along the water’s edge…the soft material clinging to her heavenly body…and Todd placed the photo down again gently and wept.
And you could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean
I wonder what your doing
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
‘What is she doing right now…?’
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it my face
This pain you gave to me
She read over the last sentence of the now almost finished letter, checking it in a feverish way that it was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Anything less wasn’t fit enough for her to send to him.
‘Of course I love you still silly…what we have is so strong it will never change…what we have is so unique that if anything happened to either of us the world would collapse in on itself…I could never stop loving you Todd, you’re my Neo, you’re The One…
'Forever…’ “Serena! Could you come here and cover the fire for the night please?”
Rena pressed her lips to the letter in a kiss, before jumping up, taking her lantern with her as she started her trek to the campsite, away from her tent, wishing above everything else she was back with her soul mate, her Mùirn Beatha Dànz…
Serena sighed, Just a few more months…just a few more months…
Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you when to run away
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you when to run away
Serena curled up for sleep, smiling as one hand rested on her neck, feeling the delicate necklace lying there, her other hand resting on her hip, feeling both the shirt and pants of her pyjamas that he had given her as well. She remembered how long they had stumbled around each other delicately, loving each other like crazily but not knowing what to do about it at all…
To risk it and announce their feelings and maybe wreak everything? Or to just wait and hope the other would announce it instead…
And then…at year nine formal…they had approached each other at the same time, nervously commenting on the music, and then how a few of their friends looked…and then how each other looked…both thinking about how much they were just dying to taste each others lips…before they both moved in one action, slowly and half timidly, but with dedication in each move. Then they met in the middle, their lips touching gently, their arms moving to hold each other cravingly, loving every second that their lips were touching. They had drawn away hesitantly, foreheads resting together before Todd chuckled, half lustily, half shyly. “You don’t know how long I’ve craved this…”
Serena just broke into relieved laughter softly. “You don’t know how long I’ve craved this…for months and months…nearly a year…ever since I got to know you…” She looked down at how their bodies met. “I love you…”
“I love you too…”
And everyone around them had known, even the teachers, as they found out in a few very embarrassing classes after they had started dating.
“So you’re finally together huh? And they say teachers are blind…”
And everyone had tried to make it obvious to them both, but they had both waved it away, blushing, thinking there was no way their greatest hope and wish could ever be true. Yes, all their friends had tried their best, showing them the small signs, giving them each advice, but never telling them to give up, to hide their feelings or what to say. They showed them where to turn. They showed them when to run away…
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it my face
This pain you give to me...
All the pain of being apart, only brought them closer. They had been apart for nearly a year now, and had all their plans ready for them to move in together.
The date was set, their luggage on the way, their furniture set up and their accounts set for their new house.
They were all ready…
Explain again to me
Explain again to me
After almost a year of not seeing each other in the flesh, they met in the middle.
Their taxi’s arriving at exactly the same time, from opposite directions, right outside their new house. In the same movement they paid their drivers and got out, their fingers digging into their jackets and small bags. They took a deep breath and got out of their separate cars, their eyes never leaving each other as they hesitantly, shyly, started to move towards each other…
You take it all
Take it all away
Explain again to me
You take it all away
Explain again to me
Take it all away
Explain again
Their lips met, not having touched another since they’d parted. Soft and raw from being so un-kissed for so long they desperately met in a frenzy of missed feeling and emotion, their jackets and bags lying forgotten on the ground at their feet.
“I’ve missed you so much…”
“Those words are an insult and how little they can describe how much I’ve missed you…my…my…everything…”
A shuddered moan at how he missed how her words made him feel, and how she always felt exactly the same way as he did, he swept her tight into his arms and kissed her again, never wanting to let go.
And now he never would.
No worries…
Their lives now complete…
Nirvana…
You give it all to me…
You give it all to me…
You shove it in my face,
Everything you mean to me.
You could take it all away…
You could take it all away…
You make my life complete.
Together we are free…
