Just Give Me a Reason

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

I lay on the couch half asleep; it had been a whole day since Sephy took off. I would be worried, but I know Cloud and Zack are keeping an eye out for him. Sure something might get blown up in the end, but this wasn’t the first time. I was use to the fact that I was married to a villain. It didn’t matter to me. Deep down he was a nice guy, a little messed up sure, but all and all.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. That’s when I heard the laughter. I recognized Kadaj, but the other was a girl… I opened my eyes and leaned over the armrest on the couch into the breakfast room. She had red hair like mine, but I couldn’t see her face. I just smiled and closed my eyes again. Why wasn’t I worried that some strange child was in my house?

“Mama,” I heard Loz call. I woke up with a jolt. I looked at my oldest for a moment, then into the breakfast room, but there was no one there.

“Mama,” Loz called again. I turned back to him.

“What is it love?”

“Is daddy home yet?”

Just then the door opened and Sephiroth walked in. “Daddy,” Loz cried. He ran over to Sephy who just patted the boy on the head. Loz smiled up at him before running upstairs. Sephiroth shut the door, turning to look at me.

“Sorry,” He said.

“It’s okay,” I say getting up. I walk over to him, “I know you well enough to know you’ll come home eventually.”

 He smiles down at me and kisses my forehead. We heard the boys come running down the stairs like a heard of elephants.

“Daddy Daddy,” They all cried. I smiled and stepped away so they could pounce on Sephy.

“’Bout time you came home,” Kadaj scolded.

“Sorry boys,” Sephiroth smiled. “How can I make it up to you?”

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, “Ice Cream,” Yazoo answered.

Sephiroth laughed, “Alright then.” He picked Kadaj up and took Yazoo’s hand. Loz took my hand and started leading me out the door. I took a second glance at the breakfast room just to be sure… no one.

Note: I’ve been wanting to right this chapter for awhile because I found that music really is my muse and this song really sums up Sephy and Angel I think. Sephiroth could do all the wrong in the world and I think Angel would still love him. I mean how could you not really it’s Sephiroth!

"Just Give Me A Reason"
(Pink feat. Nate Ruess)

Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah, but this is happenin')

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
