Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ Going Under ❯ stupid ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2 of going under

A/N: hi, this is the second chapter. It's to the song `stupid' by Sarah Mclachlan, but it won't follow the song as closely. Thank you so very much everyone who reviewed. Pov of Gren and song is in italics, or at least is supposed to be. Vicious is still unconscious at beginning of chapter

Night lift up the shades let in the brilliant light of morning

It's late, about 4 A.M., halfway through the third week that vicious has been unconscious. At first I was afraid to leave him, but eventually I couldn't just sit there watching him. I managed to find a small apartment in an area that wouldn't question the unconscious person, or recognize him.

But steady me now for I am weak and staving for mercy

I'm outside now, returning `home'. I've just been walking, couldn't sleep and needed to clear my mind.

Sleep has left me alone to cry the weight of unraveling where we went wrong

There's too much thinking to do, and I've thought through all of it before, countless times. It would all be so much simpler if I wanted to die

And all I can do to hang on, to keep me from falling into old familiar shoes

Would it be better to be there when he wakes up, or not, if I'm not, he may just leave and I won't have to face him, that's good, right?

How stupid could I be

A simpleton could see

That you're no good for me

But you're the only one I see

Love has made me a fool set me on fire and watched as I floundered

I make it back to the apartment, and enter.

Unable to speak except to cry out and wait for your answer

He's awake, standing up, looking out the small window. He doesn't acknowledge me, but he has to know I'm here. After a long pause e breaks the silence. "Why?"

And you come around in your time speaking of fabulous places

Create an oasis that dries up as soon as you're gone

You leave me here burning in the dessert without you

I am about to reply, but he continues again before I can. "Why save me, why heal me, why even…" he trails off, something in his tone I can't place. He turns on me suddenly and before I can think to react he's kissing me, but it's a violent, empty kiss.

But you're the only one I see

He pulls away shortly. "Was that why?" He turns to leave now, not waiting for an answer, but it wasn't. All that kiss held was anger.

Everything changes everything falls apart

I can't stand to feel myself losing control

In the deep of my weakness I know

I reach out to grab his wrist. He wheels around to glare at me, but that's it. "no." I speak quietly, "this is." I kiss him now, but gently, and try my best to convey in it all my emotions, confusion, love.

A/N: not as good as the first chapter. Okay, I don't know if I want to add another chapter or not, right now I'm thinking not, but that may change. I just have no idea right now how I would continue it. But at least it's a better ending point than the last one was. Thank you again for reviewing. Sorry about mistakes.
