The Approaching Curve (Terroriser)

The music played with a calming frequency. The speakers gently seeped the sound of ambient keyboards and light percussion creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness. The windows were cold to the touch, reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity. Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass and streets with melted snow cascaded down it's length.

The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water. The skylight was glowing faintly with a vague hints of an impending dawn. The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road and he hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the past twenty minutes nor hardly spoken.

As we were, so perfect, so happy
I'll remember, only our smiles because that's all they've seen
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned
As we were, so perfect, so happy.

"Why are you doing this," Brian spoke without expecting a response. His voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive, so silent my heart had jumped.

"I'm not doing anything," I said, but I didn't even believe that myself.

'This is what's best, for me, for you, for us, or maybe just for me?' I thought. As a tear formed in the pit of his eye the music poured through the speakers. And we were losing ourselves in the cadence. He looked down momentarily and closed his eyes for a bit longer than a standard blink. Then he was crying. Then he was shouting. Then I was shouting, now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions and we barely could even hear the questions

As we were, so perfect, so happy
They'll remember, only our smiles because that's all they've seen
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned
As we were, so perfect, so happy

'Don't put me underground, I was meant for a life somewhere else. Please Lord give me the way out before both of us haunt you. We'll steal tonight.'

As we were, so perfect, so happy
Don't remember, only your smiles because that's all they've seen
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned
As we were, so perfect, so happy

Our cracking voices became part of the music. The car pressed on faster through the night. As our voices lowered. The cadence again overtook the air. Up ahead there was a curve approaching. He made no indications of slowing.

//I know its kind of short, but I love this song and I immediately had to use it to write a fanfic. The song is mostly speaking and I had to change pronouns and such, but I think its kind of good, yeah?
