A New Life (Robert Downey Jr Fan Fic)

Meltdown

We are driving in his car to my house, its pretty much silence the whole way until.. "What would your real dad think about you and one of those teachers in a relationship?" Oh he did not just cross that line.
"He wouldnt approve, and i know that. Its just that i dont like people my own age, they are either jerks, not attractive, or they use drugs and stuff! Its nice to know that someone nice cares about me..." Tears start to form in my eyes, but i refuse to let them out.
"Alright, calm down. And i hope you know its okay to cry in front of me, i dont judge, Taylor." He says, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Just drive, okay?" My voice is shaky. I see him nod out of the corner of my eye, then before i knew it, i was home.
"Want me to come in with you?" I shake my head, not looking at him, grabbing my backpack, and going inside my house. I throw my keys on the shelf, my backpack on the floor, and speed-walk into my room, starting to lose it. I grab my earbuds and my ipod, grab my keys again, walk out of the house, lock it, and go to the cemetery near my house.
I look around for the name, Prap. I brought an orange rose from our tiny flower patch in the front yard, and place it in front of my fathers grave. I sit down next to it, leaning on the one side of it, start balling my eyes out, and press play on my ipod. And of course, the song didnt make me feel better. My ipod played, Still Here, by Digital Daggers.
Musing through memories, Losing my grip in the grey.
Numbing the senses, I feel you slipping away.
Fighting to hold on, Clinging to just one more day.
Love turns to ashes, With all i wish i could say.
Id die to be where you are.
I tried to be where you are.
Every night, I dream your still here.
The ghost by my side, So perfectly clear.
When i awake, Youll disappear.
Back to the shadows,
With all i hold dear, With all i hold dear.
I dream your still here, I dream your still here.
I start to sing to it, softly. All i see is the sky, and its hard because of my watery eyes.
Hidden companion, Phantom be still in my heart.
Make me a promise that
Time wont erase us
That we were not lost from the start.
Id die to be where you are
I tried to be where you are
Every night, I dream your still here.
The ghost by me side, So perfectly clear.
When i awake, Youll disappear.
Back to the shadows
With all i hold dear, With all i hold dear.
I dream your still here, Ever slightly out of reach.
I dream your still here, But it breaks so easily.
I try to protect you, I cant let you fade.
I feel you slipping, I feel you slipping away.
Every night, I dream your still here.
The ghost by my side, So perfectly clear.
When i awake, Youll disappear.
Back to the shadows
With all i hold dear
With all i hold dear
With all i hold dear
I dream your still here.
After i sang the rest of the song, still crying. I hear footsteps, and someones presence. I look at the man, my eyes adjust and i see Robert. He has a worried look on his face, then he kneels down next to me. "I told you, its okay to cry in front of me." He repeats what he said earlier. I give him a weak smile, and i lean over to hug him. It feels surprisingly good to feel his comforting touch. "What was that song you were singing?" I sniff, break the hug, and wipe the remaining tears way.
"Still Here, by Digital Daggers." I say with a shaky voice from crying.
"Are you in chorus at school?" He asks, i shake my head. "Why not? You have a great voice! You should show people that talent."
"I dont really want to talk about school right now if thats okay with you..." He nods, and gives me another hug. "How did you find me here?" I whispered in his ear, still hugging him.
"I was driving by, i was actually going to stop in the house to make sure you were actually okay, then i heard a mixture of singing and crying, and i saw you in here." He explains, i nod in his shoulder. Then i start to cry again, but they arent all sad tears now. I hug him a little tighter, and i see one of my tears run down the back of his shirt. "Are you allowed to be out of the house while your home alone?"
"No..."
"We should go back to the house before your mother comes home." We break the embrace, stand up, and start to walk to his car.
"You kind of remind me of my father a little..."
"How is that?"
"I dont know, the way you scold me, or talk to me. Your personality i guess. You two just look different."
"So what exactly are you saying, Taylor?"
"Im saying that, i think im finally excepting you into my, and my mothers life. Im sorry that i didnt trust you at first, and barely gave you a chance...." I turn to him after a couple seconds of silence, i see a big smile on his face.
"Thank you, Taylor."
"And you may also call me Tay if you want.."
"Okay, thank you, Tay." I dont feel so sad anymore. That empty hole in me, is a little bit more full. I feel bad for children without a parent, they must feel like i used to all the time, i see why some are depressed. Five minutes later, we are in the driveway again, and we both walk into my house.
