Half Of Me (Only Lovers Left Alive)

Evangeline's Voice

I walked to the burger place that I had been told about. I got a table by the stage. "Eva you ok? I heard. I looked and saw the girl from the hospital.. Evangeline. She was wearing a black and white dress.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just help me up please." She said. A few guys helped her onto the stage. Others went to their instruments.

"Hey everyone! Welcome to Mike's Burgers! We are 'The Fall Out Of Plush'! The first song is 'Titanium'" She said.

The music started then she started singing.

"' You shout it out

But I can't hear a word you say

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm criticized

But all your bullets ricochet

Shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

[Chorus:]

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

Cut me down

But it's you who'll have further to fall

Ghost town and haunted love

Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

[Chorus:]

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

I am titanium

Stone-hard, machine gun

Firing at the ones who run

Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

[Chorus:]

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium!'"

I was hypnotized by her voice.

"The next song is called 'Half Of Me' I wrote it for my fiance. Who as everyone knows died in the line of battle." I saw her eyes water. And heard her voice break a bit.

I also felt jealousy in me.

"Please enjoy." She said. Then the guitarist started strumming.

"' Where did you go?

Where did you go, my mistery

You left me alone

You left me to drown in misery

I can't feel no pain

I can't feel nothing but memories

So Where are you now?

Why would you want to leave me to

Go sleep in the clouds and dream still shine and down on me

And pieces underneath

Cause half of me is gone

Half of me is gone

Half of me is gone

Half of me is gone

You took my heart

You took the purest part of me

You left me alone

You made me my own worst enemy

Lost in the world

Searching for how we used to be

When you are there

When only you could carry me back to

Where we started

Before I got so brokenhearted

Before you took the best of me

Cause half of me is gone

Half of me is gone

Half of me is gone

Half of me is gone

Baby please wake up

Baby please wake up for me now

Uhhhhh Uh

Uhhhhh Uh'"

Everyone cheered.

That song moved me. It reminded me if myself.

"Thanks y'all! Enjoy the rest of the night. Again we are 'Fall Out Of Plush'" She said. Everyone cheered again.

"Hey there. You new?" It was Evangeline. She was in her wheelchair. "Yes. You did invite me. So here I am." I said. She smiled even more, and she perked up in recognition.

"Hey doc. Glad you could make it." She said, happily.

"Thank you for inviting me. You are very good. Can you tell me about that last song?" I asked. She nodded.

She then told me about how her fiance was a town hero, and a member of the band. She said he died in an ambush. "He was supposed to have come home the week after the attack." Tears have escaped her.

"We was going to get married then. Try to start a family before he was shipped back out. But...." I rubbed her back.

We've both lost someone we loved.

"You will find someone out there and make you feel loved like his was again." I said. But the first thought that came to me was.

'And that person should be me.'

She smiled and sniffed. "Thank you. Sorry for crying like a baby." She said. "I don't mind at all. It's good to cry every now and then." I told her.

"You're a sweet guy. Thank you." She leaned over and kissed my cheek. "I need to go. Rides a callin." She joked. I gave her a small smirk. Then she rolled off.

I found myself missing her.
