*Cathy's P.O.V*

I woke up, the thunder booming and lightening sparking fear into my entire body.

I was soaked in sweat, and that's when I realized, I had just woken up from my ever haunting nightmare of Emma leaving me; that it was all just a bad dream.

I felt around the bed for Emma, but she was no where to be found.

Panic filled me as my mind wondered off to my dream.

Fearing the worst, I hopped out of bed, in my striped tank top and black shorts, only to be greeted by ice cold air against my bare thighs.
The air conditioning was so cold, that only a power outage could cause that amount of icicles on my window,let alone inside of my body.
I ran across the room to my door,peeking my head outside,I heard singing coming from the music room;A place with many priceless memories,that I can never replace.

I walked a little closer,and the sound became louder,sweeter,and more passionate.

I finally made my way to the door of the room.Peeping inside,I saw Emma,holding a guitar.My old guitar to be exact.
I had gotten it from my grandparents when I was twelve,and,after the tragic events that followed,I eventually just lived for that guitar,that was,until I found Emma...She was my life source.
The reason I lived. Emma.


I sat down next to the door,sneaking a peek every now and again,just to see her shoulder muscles tense up,at certain lyrics,or her arm muscles flex when she strummed,and most importantly,her scars.They were so beautiful,and even though they littered her body,I didn't care.To me,she was perfect.


She snapped me out of my thoughts when I heard the words escape her lips..
The one song I never thought I'd hear,ever again.
My girlfriend knows it..

"Look into my eyes

I can see the damage

I can feel the cold dark place you’re in"

She choked back a sob,and I felt my heart ache to hold her close to me and tell her that everything would be okay now,because I love her..

"You don’t have to hide

‘Cause I’ll be right beside you
Through every tear run down your skin"

She stopped for a moment,taking a deep breath she continued,choaking out the lyrics,

"Maybe when your sky comes crashing down
I can be your angel on the ground
If you get tired and can’t go on
I will carry you along
When the rocks below your feet wear out your shoes
When you’re barefoot and ...bruised"

She whispered the last word,as though it held so much meaning to her.

"I know that you’ve been ...hurt 
I know that you’ve been ...broken
Had to walk alone, no ...hand to hold
But those lonely days are gone
‘Cause I am right beside you
Down every long ..and ...

She paused for a moment,trying to compose herself before murmuring,

"darkened
road..."



I hadn't even stopped to notice that Emma was now sobbing,whispering to herself,
"Cathy,I love you so much princess.. And,it's just so difficult for me to come to terms with how fast this is all happening..Bu-t,I want you to know that I love you,more than anyone ever could..I'll protect you with every fibre of my being and I will not fail you baby girl...
I love you... " She said,weeping into her hands.

I couldn't take seeing her in this much pain.I walked over to my guitar shelf,as silently as I could,and took my mom's old guitar and began strumming..

"If ever you needed to talk

You could talk to me
Oh, could you talk to me?
If ever you feel like you're lost
You can count on me
Ill find you a way
When the lights go out
In the Universe
Ill be next to you
Ill be next to you
And I surrender myself
To you

I'll love you forever

I'll like you for always
For always
Together well be
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
For always
Together well be
Yeah
Together well be
Yeah

If ever you're too sick to walk

I'd carry you
And take care of you
If ever you feel scared and alone
Id hold you
And Id just hold you
When the lights go out
In the universe
Ill be next to you
Ill be next to you
And I surrender myself
To you
Ill love you forever
Ill like you for always
For always
Together well be
Ill love you forever
Ill like you for always
For always
Together well be

And when you get cold

Just like you do
Ill give you my coat
Cause Im here for you
And as we grow old
I promise to love you with every breath
That is true
When the lights go out
In the universe
Ill be next to you
Youll be next to me
And I surrender myself
And I surrender myself
To you

Ill love you forever

Ill like you for always
For always
Together well be
Ill love you forever
Ill like you for always
For always
Together we'll be"

"Emma...I'll love you..And,as long as it might take for you to understand that,I'm willing to wait..Because...You're my forever and Always... And I Love you..."

Emma looked at me,a smile of pure bliss on her lips,as she leaned in and said.. "Forever and Always..." 
Before scooping me up in her arms and carrying me to our  bedroom...
