"You're in the doors that keep revolving
The sirens that keep screaming.
You're in the flashing of the headlights
The things that I'm believing
You're in the water that I'm drinking
The sound of 911
The walls that protect me
From the damage that you've done
In this world you are with me...
And I walk this earth alone,
And all I've ever known
Is you are right beside me
If I love you for a day
You throw my life away
Could I leave you behind me?
You're in the crashing of the windows
The angels 'round the ceiling
You're the fire in my belly
The fucked up way I'm feeling
You're on the warning on the label
The pills that disappear
The whines as I'm talking
The words you'll never hear
In this world you are with me.
And I walk this earth alone
And all I've ever known
Is you were right beside me
If I love you for a day
You throw my life away
Could I leave you behind me?
Could I leave you behind me?
~Lauren Christy - "Walk This Earth Alone"~ |
"You're the thing I've always wanted
The man I've always dreamed of
You're in my flashes of brilliance
The knight in shining armour.
You're in every thought and breath
Say the words I want to hear
From the moment I tear down the wall
You've healed all my pain
In time you'll be with me.
I walk this house alone
You're all I've ever known
I need you here beside me
If I wait for one more day
Will you throw us both away?
Will I leave this behind me?
You're the love of my life
The angel falls from heaven
The fire burning in my heart
The obsessed way I feel
You're the warm fuzzy feeling
The thoughts that don't disappear
The voice that soothes me
The words that keep haunting
Please be here with me...
And I walk this path alone
You're all I want to know
The anger stays inside me
I love you forever and a day
I won't throw this away
I can't leave you behind me...
Can I leave all this behind me?
~Jonathan Storm and Helena~ |
*Imagine a split screen. As she cooks, he drives. He takes a left turn, she stirs a simmering pot. He comes to a stoplight, she removes bread from the oven. He stops at the dry cleaners and picks up a suit, she lights the candles. He fidgets around his jeep to put said suit on, and she touches up her makeup. He fixes his tie, and she makes it down the stairs just in time to save the entree. He's buying roses, she's cooking steaks. Step...step...she goes to the front door, he's walking there. Ring ding! The doorbell sounds, and she opens. Two become one.*
Jonathan "The Impact" Storm:*Handing her a dozen roses* How's my gal?
[She's gorgeous!]
[He looks like he just changed in the car...it's cute!]
Helena: Jonathan...these are beautiful! I love them! I'm feeling wonderful, thanks...*blushes*
Storm: It's nothing too big for ya...I mean you're kinda important to me, you know?
[So he's gonna say it?]
[There...now she knows how I feel!]
Helena: I know Jon. I made us dinner. I hope you like steak!
Storm: I love steak, darlin'...almost as much as I love spending time with you.
[D'oh!]
[Almost! Just SAY IT!!!]
Storm: Helena...I think I...I...
[Yes!]
Helena: Yes?
Storm: Let's talk about it over dinner...*sighs*
[Jackass...]
[I'm such a jackass...]
*And they sit. He looks at her, and she smiles, he smiles back...like two little teenagers on their first dates. He takes a bite of his steak.*
Storm: Mm...this is good!
Helena: Thanks, the spices are an old family trick.
Storm: You spoil me.
Helena: I spoil you? You're the one who lets me stay in this huge house with you...I couldn't even begin to see how I spoil you.
[He's hooked on my cooking. Yes!]
[I could get used to food like this...]
Storm: Hel, all of this...I haven't had a home-cooked meal since I went and spent the weekend with Trey and Claire...
Helena: I'm...I'm sorry about your friend, Jon.
Storm: I am too...but I know he's looking down on me.
[Is he opening up to me?]
[Must...resist...opening...up...]
Storm: He'll be there watching down at the Pay Per View. He'll be on my shoulder when I win.
Helena: You're going to make him very proud, Jonathan.
[You'd better win...that bitch Tempest is ruining our relationship!]
[I hope I win...I need that victory for my sanity, and to finally give you the attention you deserve.]
Helena: I got you a suprise this weekend, darling.
[WHAT?!]
Storm: What'cha get me?
[Please don't hate me, Jon...]
Helena: Now if I told you, would it be a suprise? You're just going to have to wait.
*Storm smiles and takes a bite out of his mashed potatos before standing up and walking around to her. He looks at her, and kisses her cheek.*
Storm: You're absolutely amazing, darling.
Helena: I couldn't have done it without you, Jon. Now I can see why Darrin always tells me what a help you are. You've given me confidence again, and a friend for life in you.
Storm: Hey...it's no biggie, you deserve it. *smiles* So what should we do now?
Helena: Let's watch the sunset.
[I'll tell her then, I swear!]
[It's too romantic for him not to say it.]
*And that they do. They sit on the back porch and watch the sun meet horizon in a slow dance to start the evening. The soft sounds of "Sing" by Travis are playing on the speakers outside, and Jonathan turns on the porch lights to let them dance. He holds her close, and she leans his head against his shoulder.*
Helena: This is just so wonderful...all of it.
[The perfect setting for those three words...]
[Okay...take a deep breath and say them!]
Storm: It's going to be wonderful on Sunday, Hel...the World Title, you, and all those people.
Helena: But tonight, it's just you and me...and it's beautiful. Jonathan, I want to tell you something...
[I love you too, Helena...]
[There...this should set him up for it.]
Helena: I love you, Jonathan. I love everything about you, from your little quirks, to your smile. I love you with all my heart.
Storm: I...I...
[I love you too?]
Storm: I don't know what to say.
[How about 'I love you!' Jonathan, just say it!]
[Jon, JUST SAY IT!!!!]
Storm: I...can't say it yet...when I say it, it's going to be sincere, and it's going to be from the heart, because right now my heart's not on it.
[See? That's why he's just got to win! She's reaching into my personal life, and he can't even tell me he loves me!]
[You deserve better, Helena...you really do.]
Helena: I understand...I'd want you to mean it, Jonathan.
*He closes his eyes and kisses her forehead. She smiles and pulls him closer, but even now she feels him miles away. She holds him tighter...still not there. She holds with all her strength...and now, he's with her...now their hearts are intertwined. It's funny how three little words either hurt or help, right? He wraps his arms around her, and the scene fades.*
[I'm gonna kill her for keeping Jon from me...]
[I'm gonna kill her for ruining tonight. I love you, Helena...I really do.]
