"Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day"Venus and I were singing – yelling the song during our ride. We had entered the state of Pennsylvania and we were heading to a small town named Willoughby. The song was coming to its end and my throat was aching like hell. But, I didn't regret it. I haven't had such a good time for a long time.
"We should do this more often." Venus said laughing.
"Yeah." I agreed.
"When will we arrive?" She moaned after a while.
"Be patient, Venus..." I scolded her with a large smile forming on my face.
"Couldn't you be obsessed with another place? Hollywood, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Paris, Rome, Madrid... It had to be Will-something?"
"You know I can't control it." I reminded her.
"We are unlucky, I guess." She replied shrugging.
The song had come to its end and the presenter was talking. I didn't pay much attention, but for a single phrase of his.
"... dedicated to Christine from Elliot with love beyond this small universe.... Enjoy..."
And then a soft and so familiar melody echoed in the car. A melody that brought so many painful memories from the past. A melody that reminded me the perfection I had lost forever.
"Give me love like her,
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go"I hit the brakes. "What happened?!?!?!?!" Venus screamed scared to death. I just stared blankly in front of me. The song went on not knowing how painful it was for me to hear its beautiful melody. "Cassandra?" Venus said reluctantly.
"The song..." I mumbled.
"What about the song?" She asked not understanding. I remained silent. After a while, I turned to look at her. My sight was blurred because of the tears. She understood. "Come here." She said opening her arms for me. I gratefully leaned against her chest and let my tears fall. "Cry... Take it out..." She whispered as I cried silently. I had lost track of time. It was just me and my grief. Eventually, the tears dried out. "Come on, I'll drive." Venus said pushing me away gently.
"No, it's ok..." I tried to protest.
"I do not negotiate. Come on!" She insisted. The truth is I didn't feel very well. So, we changed seats and I let her drive. After what seemed like a century we saw the first houses of Willoughby. "Here we are." Venus announced.
"It is indeed a very small town." I spoke for the first time after my outburst.
"Not much social life. Nor night life, I may add." I laughed. "Do you feel better?" She asked.
"Yes. I'm sorry for my outburst."
"Don't worry about it. We all have our moments of weakness." I smiled as a response. "I'm starving. Do you want to grab something to eat?" She said after a while.
"I'm hungry too. Why don't you go fill the car up, while I get us something to eat?"
"Deal. I want waffles."
