Chapter 2: Broken

 

 

 

“Kagome! Dinner!” screamed Stephanie. Little did she know I WAS sleeping. I got up and rushed down the stairs to the delicious plate of food waiting. “Thanks Stephie.”

 

“Sure no problem,” she smiled. And just like that dinner erupted in talking and laughing. It's so comfortable here. It's all thanks to Stephanie and Ashley though. They are just so filled with light and warmth you can't help but smile around them. They're goofy, but so mature. I want to be like them. I'm very glad Steph found me that night four months ago.

 

 

~Flashback~

 

 

Lightening was dancing everywhere amongst the ground. The song Broken, in my ears. So loud my own heart beat was drowned out by it. This was a very high bridge, and the rain had rushed into the river. It looked like a wild thing. Gripping the side of the rail I looked over the ledge. Raindrops and tears fell off my face. I looked up in enough time to watch lightening flash in the unforgiving sky. And just as if that was the secret key, memory after memory leaped unbound into my mind.

 

I wanted you to know that

I love the way you laugh

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away...

I keep your photograph and

I know it serves me well

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

 

Waking up in Inuyasha's lap after being poisoned and feeling his tears on my face. Coughing from the smoke of a fire on his back while he rescued me. Standing beside him on the cliff, holding his hand. Crying when I thought the Peachman had killed him.

 

Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You gone away, you don't feel me here anymore

 

The worst is over now

And we can breathe again

I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away

There's so much left to learn

And no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

 

All of our near kisses. Just talking to him. Sensing him through the Go-Shinboku. Finding myself in his arms. Crying like a big looby. Then being ripped from his arms after that last battle and being stuck on my side of the well.

 

Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

 

Three years of school and the well not letting me cross into his world. Being sent here to my aunt's. Getting a job and moving out.

 

Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

 

Loneliness. Rain. And the never ending tears. This giant hole in my chest.

 

Cause I'm Broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone

 

The cold filling me with numbness. Realizing he must have died many years ago.

 

You've gone away, you don't feel me here...

 

Without him ever knowing, that I....that I simply....loved..him. As he was.

 

…..anymore.

 

And I closed my eyes and let go of the railing. Gravity grabbed me as I started to fall Lightening flashed, and I cried.

 

 

But then a hand grabbed mine in the darkness. Startled I looked up in time to see my co-worker Stephanie holding me up. Not letting me fall. Then she started to shout, “Ashley over here help.”

And the palest girl I have ever met came running toward me. Together they pulled me over the ledge.

 

“Kagome, can you hear me?” This puzzled me. Yes I could hear her but I was so cold I couldn't talk. I couldn't move. “Ashley get the car and the blankets, we'll take her to our home and warm her up.”

It was so strange trying to kill myself and instead being saved by perfect strangers. Before I knew it, I was in the backseat of a small car being held by Stephanie with her trying to warm me up. Then I was placed before a fire in warm pajamas after a hot shower with hot soup and hot chocolate.

 

 

~End Flashback~

I knew then I was as broken as that song. Maybe these crazy girls... maybe they can save me. Maybe there is life after love. But can I love again?

 

“Oh Kagome? I was joking about dishes it's Jeremy's turn this time. Go on up to bed ok? Unless you want to talk?” Well that was Stephanie, thoughtful and caring no matter what.

 

“No mom I'm fine.” And off I ran to my room. Maybe Dog will be home from work before ten today.

Maybe just maybe here I can heal.
