The Dead World I Live In

The Dead I Live With (Chapter 20)

I felt a claw-like grip on my shoulder, and who-ever it was spun me around. The She-Devil.

"Can I help you?" I asked her, and she slapped me across the face. It took everything I had not to actually kill her, and she grinned smugly at me.

"Don't go stealin' others misters"

"Don't go datin' Fergus, Liza!" I snapped back at her, and she looked outrage "That's right.  Now, how's 'bout you break up with Chase, and climb into beddy-boo's with your bespectacled beloved?"

Cammy jaw was now on the floor, and I helpfully closed it for her.

 She was about to protest some more, when I was called back up to the stage to sing for the last time tonight. I strutted up there, until I remembered which song I had left to sing. I got hold of the micro-phone, and took a deep breath.

*You're on the phone with your girlfriend,
She's upset,
She's going off about
Something that you said,
'Cause she doesn't get your humor
Like I do.
I'm in my room,
It's a typical Tuesday night,
I'm listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like,
And she'll never know your story
Like I do.

But she wears short skirts,
I wear t-shirts.
She's cheer captain and
I'm on the bleachers,
Dreamin' 'bout the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time.

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you,
Been here all along so why can't you see,
You belong with me.
You belong with me.

Walkin' the streets with you
and your worn-out jeans,
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be,
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself,
"Hey isn't this easy"
And you've got a smile that
Could light up this whole town,
I haven't seen it in a while
Since she brought you down.
You say you're fine,
I know you better than that.
Hey, whatcha doin' with a girl like that?

She wears high heels,
I wear sneakers.
She's cheer captain and
I'm on the bleachers,
Dreamin' 'bout the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time.

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you.
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me?

Standing by,
Waiting at your back door,
All this time how could you not know
Baby, you belong with me
You belong with me.

Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night.
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're 'bout to cry.
And I know your favorite songs,
And you tell me 'bout your dreams.
Think I know where you belong,
Think I know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you,
Been here all along so why can't you see,
You belong with me.

Standing by,
Waiting at your back door,
All this time how could you not know
Baby, you belong with me.
You belong with me.

You belong with me.
Have you ever thought just maybe,
You belong with me?
You belong with me. *

I finished (THANK GOD, that song annoys me!) and climbed down off the stage. Cammy was no-where in sight, so I walked back over to join Chase again. I stood in front of him, my back pressed to his chest, and wrapped his arms around me.

I inhaled his smell, and listened to the person singing. Hey, it was him from my first guy here, the one who's head I pointed the gun to.

He was singing Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. I listened, and felt myself falling in love with the lyrics:

*I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything*

The words sent chills down my spine, as if they had a deeper meaning, but I didn't know what it was yet. Chase rubbed my arms, thinking I was cold, I laughed at him, turning around to face him.

He pulled me close to him, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. And that's when our song began. The song I'd suggested to Stark was playing, and the fantasy I'd had in my head since I got the CD was coming true.

I was slow dancing with the only guy I'd ever really loved.

*The lingering question kept me up, 2 a.m., who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say

It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you*

That was my favourite part, as it reminded me of how I felt when Chase was telling me he loved me, then kissing Cammy. But as he held me in his arms, I knew that I was his only one.

Chase spun me under his arm, then brought me back to him. I placed my head on his chest, one hand on his shoulder, the other intertwined in his. He kissed the top of my head, and I closed my eyes, never wanting to leave this moment.

*Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you*

I lifted my head up to look into Chase's deep green eyes, and he shook his head at me. I placed my lips to his, and I nodded back at him. 

I was ready now.

 Leading me out of the canteen, my hand still in his, we made our way to my room.

Where we made love for the first time.

*This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you*


Captain Duncan Chase: I Love You.
