[Part 8] Demolition Lovers

You know that whole "I'm gonna get my laptop back in 2 weeks?" NOT gonna happen. After the 2 week mark hit, and we STILL hadn't got any calls (me thinking that something terrible happened and they didn't want to tell us), my dad called them. After he hung, he told me the WHOLE story.... in short; 2 MORE weeks, cuz they had to send it to the Toshiba place, and because of stupid 4th of July (I don't entirely mean that....) they have to delay sending it back and such, and it drives me nuts. It's Toshiba's fault they have a design error... cause what happened shouldn't really happen. I treated my laptop like it was glass... a fragile crown... or something else that you take care of so carefully. I once had a dream that my life was attached to my laptop; I was dying quickly because the laptop's battery was dying at the same rate I was.... it was a weird dream, I'll tell ya that.

So once again, I'm copying from emails. ^_^

"Sera...?" I heard Mike say. I stood straight up, staring at the ground. I didn't want to show signs that I was crying, so I wiped away my fallen tears.

"Why are you crying?" I could see his feet and knew that he was just a few feet away from me.

"No reason… I just need fresh air," and with that, I got on both feet and headed to the door.

Mike followed me, "That's a good idea."

I wanted to be alone, but I didn't say anything. It didn't seem like the thing to do since it seemed he didn't want me to be alone, even if it was to recollect my thoughts and feelings. Outside, it was slightly cold. The fall wind was blowing around fallen leaves everywhere. I just stood there, on the porch, looking out at the leaves that were following the path of the wind. I closed my eyes, taking in all the sounds and feels of autumn.

"Sera?" Mike said behind me softly. Although it was quiet, it startled me, being so different from the other sounds around me.

I opened my eyes, still not looking at him. "What?" I whispered, trying to blend it into the other soft sounds. I
could hear and feel Mike getting closer to me.

"Do you really love me?" I could almost feel his breath on my neck. My back tingled since I could feel that his presence was so close.

"I… I don't want to talk about it," I looked at the ground, trying to avoid Mike's eyes as I turned around, walking past him to go inside.

"Wait," he said, grabbing my arm. I stopped in my tracks, still refusing to look at him in the eye. He spun me around, so I was facing him. He put a gentle hand under my chin and made me look up at him. I tear escaped my eye then. He removed his hand, almost as if he knew I wasn't going to run away, and wiped away the tear. Sometimes I hate how he knows me so well.

We just looked at each other. I felt slightly uncomfortable under his gaze, but I held my ground. Then he started to say something in a whisper, "Sera, I-I… need to tell you something."

"What is it?" There was a pause until I heard music coming from my room. It was one of my favorite songs of all time, "Demolition Lovers" by My Chemical Romance.

"Hand in mine, into your icy blues. And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway. With this trunk of ammunition, too. I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets. I'm trying, I'm trying. To let you know just how much you mean to me. And after all the things we put each other through and I would drive on to the end with you. A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full. And I feel like there's nothing left to do. But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running. But this time, I mean it. I'll let you know just how much you mean to me. As snow falls on desert sky, Until the end of everything. I'm trying, I'm trying. To let you know how much you mean. As days fade, and nights grow, And we go cold. Until the end, until this pool of blood. Until this, I mean this, I mean this. Until the end of... I'm trying, I'm trying, To let you know how much you mean. As days fade, and nights grow. And we go cold. But this time, we'll show them. We'll show them all how much we mean. As snow falls on desert sky. Until the end of every..."

We were still looking at each other. My eyes were tearing up from the song. It always reminded me of my feelings for Mike. I was about to open my mouth when Mike's lips crushed into mine.

"...All we are, all we are. Is bullets I mean this. All we are, all we are. Is bullets I mean this. All we are, all we are. Is bullets I mean this. All we are, all we are. Is bullets I mean this..."

Mike broke the kiss, "Sera… I love you, too."

I grinned, my eyes still watery from the lyrics. I buried my head in his chest, silent tears falling. His arms wrapped around me. It started to rain on us.

"...As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms. Forever, forever. Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning. Forever, and ever. Know how much I want to show you you're the only one. Like a bed of roses, there's a dozen reasons in this gun. And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood. And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down. And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down. I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood. I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever..."

This part is so much better when you're actually listening to "Demolition Lovers" as you read it. It puts more to the story than the lyrics alone can. I've been trying to find a music code for the song, but no success yet. And I'm going to try to learn how to make my own codes... but I kept forgetting ^_^;;;

I can't believe this.... Tomorrow I'm going to get surgery to get this... thing on my forehead OFF. Then I'll have to live with stiches and a puzzled/devish look for a while. I'm so not going into public..... *sigh* Wish me luck, peoples!!!
