Yesterday's Child - (high school) same as above. :o) Brandis Redemption - (celebrity) Jonathan Brandis... I haven't seen or heard from him for a while. Except in this fan-fucking-tastic story. Grand Central High - (boy bands) what would you think if Nsync was still in high school along with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and the Backstreet Boys.

I am Australian and trying to write in an international lingo so give me a break if I spell something different or have a different phrasing to what you are used to. Well, now that's over I'll start the story. Garden of Song 10 by Sun Child Leaning back a few days later, I thought about my relationship with Daniel, Darren and everyone else. I thought about how I had run from my pain. I seem to run every time things get a little tough. Daniel and I have a fight, I run. Brendon died and I ran. Things get tough at home with my father, I run. All I ever seem to do is run now. It's time for me to stop running I guess. It's time for me to face my demons. Standing, I go to the phone and dial the bus company and book a ticket back to my parents place. I then go to Daniel, he's locked himself inside the studio. Writing and recording. Knocking lightly on the door, I wait for him to let me know I can come in. Slowly he opens the door and looks at me. "What's wrong? I was recording that album you've been pressuring me to." "I came to let you know I'm going away for a few days." On hearing this, Daniel opened the door the whole way. "Why? What's wrong?" "I've decided I need to face some of the demons that I've been running from for so long. I leave at 6 tonight." Daniel looked a little hurt. "Hell of a lot of notice you gave me there. I mean, I've got to pack now and you know how I pack and..." "Daniel." I cut him off. "I don't know if you heard me. I am going. I didn't say we. This is something that I have to do on my own. Daniel nodded, still looked a little hurt. "I'll be back in a few days. I won't be gone long. I've just got to finish up and clean up the mess I left when I ran. I promise that I'll come back." I told him. He nodded slightly. I could tell that he was still hurt by the fact I was going alone. "What say I call you every night and call you when I get on the bus to come home?" He nodded at that and looked a little more reassured. "Just make sure you are back by this time next week. We go on tour then." I smiled and nodded. "I promise. Like I would let you travel the world without me." I leant over and kissed him gently on the lips. "I love you Daniel." "I love you too Dan. Nothing'll ever change that." With that I gave him a warm embrace, let go and then went to pack. As I finished throwing the last of my stuff into my bag, Daniel appeared at my side, a pack of smokes in his hand. I looked at him. "I finished the song I was working on. Gonna join me?" He asked. Smiling, I grabbed my lighter, but he pulled it out of my hand. "Here, I got you something the other day." He told me handing me a small parcel. Opening it I saw a lighter sitting there. It was a gas one that you refil. It was a beautiful silver one. On it was engraved. To Dan To runaway is to hide To stay is to await the ride With Love, Daniel I read it and felt tears building. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him on the lips. "I'd be lost without you Dan." He whispered in my ear. I kissed him again lightly but the nicotine craving got to me. Trust an addiction to spoil a perfect moment. I think it hit him as well. Walking out the front we sat down on the step. I leant back against him and rested my head back on his shoulder as he lit the smokes and handed one to me. We sat there, not talking, but happy to have each other's company. Even when we eventually finished our smokes we didn't move. Well that is until I looked at my watch and realised the time. "Crap, I have about 30 minutes to get to Roma St and then I have to check my luggage in and fuckin' hell." I moaned as I bolted from where I was. Daniel was a little slower off the mark but went to the kitchen, grabbed his car keys and went and got the car out of the garage while I grabbed my bag and a couple of other things and headed out to meet him. Flying through the traffic we didn't talk much. Instead we sat there, listening to the music playing. There you are In a darkened room And you're all alone Looking out the window Your heart is cold And lost the will to love Like a broken arrow Here I stand in the shadows Come to me Come to me Can't you see that Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry My body's longing to hold you So bad it hurts inside Time is precious and it's slipping away And I've been waiting all my life Nobody wants to be lonely So why Why don't you let me love you Can you hear my voice Do you hear my song It's a serenade So your heart can find me And suddenly you're Flying down the stairs Into my arms, baby Before I start going crazy Run to me Run to me 'Cause I'm dyin' Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry My body's longing to hold you So bad it hurts inside Time is precious and it's slipping away And I've been waiting all my life Nobody wants to be lonely So why Why don't you let me love you I wanna feel you need me Just like the air you're breathin' I need you here in my life Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away, no Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry My body's longing to hold you So bad it hurts inside Time is precious and it's slipping away And I've been waiting all my life Nobody wants to be lonely So why Why don't you let me love you Listening to the song, I realised just how lonely I had been since Brendon left, I was starting to feel as though, I was no longer alone since Daniel and I had gotten together. It lifted my heart to a new high. I was no longer alone, I was with someone. God it felt good. Soon we made the bus terminal and I flew in to check in. Soon my luggage was aboard and I was waiting to board. Standing in front of Daniel I looked in his eyes. "You have no idea how much I want to hug you..." "Then do it." Was all he replied. "But we're in public." "So we're friends saying goodbye." Taking that as permission I reached my arms around him and hugged him close. As I let go I whispered in his ear. "I love you baby." With that I turned and got on the bus. Sitting in my seat, I looked out at him. He stood there looking at me. Smiling sadly, I waved slightly. The woman sitting next to me leaned over. "It's hard to say goodbye to the ones we love. Even if only for a short time." I turned to her. "That's just a close friend." "Well you can say that, but we both know that isn't true. You can see it in the way you hugged him goodbye and the sad way your face reflects the fact you have to leave him. Don't worry. I won't say anything." She smiled. I smiled back, slightly. "Thanks for that. I don't know what would happen if it got out." "Heaven only knows. Don't worry, I don't believe in gossip. If it's harmless it's fun but something like that is harmful. I won't have a part of it." I smiled at her. "Thank you for that. It means a lot to know not everyone are total gossips." She nodded and smiled. "I know, it can hurt when everyone gossips." She smiled and rested back in her seat and closed her eyes. Resting back in my own seat, I felt myself calm a little. As the bus pulled into the terminal I stood to get off the bus. The woman next to me must have gotten off the bus while I was asleep. On her seat was a small note. Gingerly, I reached out and picked it up to read it. "Remember, gossip can be fun and painful. Things don't go past my lips." I smiled at her thoughtfulness. I mean, she could've made mega-bucks out of this. I guess there are some decent people in this world. I stood and flagged down a taxi and gave him the address of the motel I wanted. "No sense in staying where I won't be welcome." I reasoned with myself. As he pulled in, I paid and got my luggage out. Walking into reception I booked a room and got the key. Letting myself into the motel room, I was surprised at the size of it. It was bigger than I expected. Pulling out my phone, I gave Daniel a quick call to let him know I had made it safe. Hanging up I stripped down to my boxers, flicked on the air conditioning and climbed into the bed. Drifting off to sleep I let my mind wander over the things I had done with Daniel and of all the good times we had shared. Soon I was asleep. I awoke about midday the next day. Climbing out of bed I walked into the shower and cleaned up. An hour later I was in a taxi on the way to my parents. After paying the cabbie I went to the front door. The door opened. "What do you want?" "I want to face my demons father, and you're the first." --- Haha! Gues what... cliffhanger. Don't ya just love me. 1) Nobody Wants to Be Lonely - Ricky Martin (god he's a hunny).
