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!

 

Characters:

Ash: 22 ½

Misty: 22 ½

A/N: Song, ÒSomething to Sleep ToÓ by Michelle Branch-goes nicely with the title doesnÕt it? ^-^

___________________________________________

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.)
