Choices
Part 22:
Something to Sleep To
Note: Weeee!!! I dunno why but IÕm in a very
happy mood today! Maybe itÕs cuz IÕm nearly finished reading xxxHolic! I
already finished watching the anime last week, which isnÕt as great as the
magna but all right. As soon as IÕm done with xxxHolic then IÕll go onto
Tsubasa magna since IÕve only seen the anime and but a few chappies of the
magna-the latest one which have made me cry! T-T But wait-what am I doing
yapping about that? You guys donÕt really care about that-youÕre here for the
story! Yay! Which makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. LOL. Just 13 chappies
plus the Epilogue left!

___________________________________________
SheÕs his yellow brick road,
Leading him on and letting him go
As far as she lets him go.
Going down to now where.
Misty got up from the bed, tears sliding down her
face silently. She went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. After she
was done she went into the closet and put on some blue jeans, a yellow short
sleeve shirt. Sighing she turned back to the bed, watching as Dan slept. She
looked away and turned to the mirror and began to put on her make-up and comb
her hair back. Nothing would ever be the same againÉ
She put on her make-up,
The same way she did,
Yesterday, hoping everythingÕs the same,
But everything has changed.
Misty sighed. Was it really right what she was doing?
Did she love Ash so much so as to take her daughter away from Dan and giver her
a new father? She was leaving Dan for another man, a man she wasnÕt even sure
would respond for her daughter the way Dan didÉ She stopped combing her hair
and looked at herself in the mirror. Was she really going to leave the safety
of the life she had been living all these years and trade if for another? A tar
slid down her cheek as she saw him wakeÉ
Chorus:
In my mind,
Everything we did was right.
Open your eyes IÕll still be by your side.
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night.
(Something to sleep to at night)
Dan heard as Misty got up from the bed. She was
leaving todayÉ ForeverÉ She was to take his daughter away from him. Whys hould
he let her goÉ? He loved her and didnÕt want to let her goÉ Why was this
happening to him? Why was she changing her mind now? After six years of a
relationship she had changed so muchÉ
He wakes up to the sound,
So scared that sheÕs leaving.
He wishes she were still asleep next him,
Hoping she would change.
Dan sat up in bed and looked over at Misty. When he
had taken her from Ash, he thought I had been right. He had planned to live
with her all his life. In fact yesterday he had been about to propose to her.
He felt tears in his own eyes as
he watched Misty cry. He would always be there for her, he knew that, but he
loved her so much that he didnÕt want her to leave.
Chorus:
In my mind,
Everything we did was right.
Open your eyes IÕll still be by your side.
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night.
(Something to sleep to at night)
Dan got up and went over to Misty. They turned to
one another, crying silently. Dan held out his arms and she rushed towards him
and into his arms. They held each other tight, letting time pass by.
You give me something to sleep to,
And all I know is,
You give me something to dream to,
When IÕm all alone and blue.
ÒMistyÉ I know I said you can go butÉÓ Dan
whispered into her hair. ÒPlease donÕt leave me now, donÕt leave me now, donÕt
leave me pleaseÉÓ
ÒI love you Dan but I love Ash tooÉÓ Misty
whispered, voice breaking. ÒMy choice is AshÉ YouÕve been with me for so long
and I thank you for being with meÉÓ
ÒMisty pleaseÉ IÉÓ Dan stopped himself. He would
let her goÉ so she could be happy. ÒI wish you the best of luckÉÓ
DonÕt leave me now,
DonÕt leave me now,
DonÕt leave me now,
DonÕt leave me now,
DonÕt leave me now,
DonÕt leave me now,
DonÕt leave me now,
DonÕt leave me now.
ÒMistyÉÓ Dan let her go with a sigh. ÒYouÕre my
lifeÉÓ
ÒDanÉÓ Misty looked away. ÒAsh is mine. IÕm so
sorry DanÉÓ
ÒIÕll still be by your side foreverÉ IÕll always be
here.Ó
Misty nodded and left the room, unable to face the
father of her child any longerÉ
(In my mindÉ)
Chorus:
In my mind,
(In my mindÉ)
Everything we did was right.
(Everything we did was rightÉ)
Open your eyes IÕll still be by your side
(Open your eyes IÕll still be by your side)
How could I ever have been so blind?
(Oooh ooh oh!)
You give me something to sleep to,
(You give me something)
She was leaving himÉ TodayÉ ForeverÉ She was about
to take her keys from the table when she stopped and headed out the apartment,
taking one last look at Dan. She smiled and waved.
Dan smiled back and waved.
ÒSee ya laterÉÓ Misty sniffed.
ÒGood-byeÉÓ Dan replied.
Dan watched her goÉ She had been his everythingÉ
for ten yearsÉ And now she was leaving himÉ Up until now she had been his
pillow to sleep on at nightÉ Now all she left was her memoryÉ
Something to sleep to
(You give me something)
Something to sleep to,
(You give me something)
Something to sleep to at night
(You give me something to sleep to)
(Oooh ooh oh! Oh!
You give me something to sleep to,
Something to sleep to at night.)
