*American Gothic*
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone
And I'll be crying
And I'll be begging you, baby
Beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting
With my heart on my sleeve
It was a beautiful day, as they stood in an alleyway in Pennsylvania, in front of each other, arguing.
"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he needed to know.
"No. Of course, you're not a means of survival. You looked out for me when I had no one. You've given me a second chance now, when no one else will." She rested a hand on the side of his face. "I love you. Elijah."
He turned his head away.
"You don't believe me," she stated.
"It's my disease. I just keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don't know you. I don't know if I ever will."
He began walking away.
She watched for a few moments, before catching up with him. She put a hand on his arm, stopping him, as she begged him, "Wait."
He looked at her hand, then her, then her hand again, and she got the hint.
She let him go.
"Goodbye, Katherine."
She watched, as he left.
*Dead Man On Campus*
Oh, for the next time we'll be here
Seems like a million years
And I think I'm dying
What do I have to do to make you see
She can't love you like me?
Why don't you stay
It was a dismal night, as a human Katherine stood on the clock tower, having found out that she was dying. She was dying of old age. Time was catching up with her, and it couldn't be stopped. That's why she stood there, thinking of just ending it all quickly. Then a thought came to her. What would happen to Elijah if she died? Even though he'd left, she knew that he still loved her.
*American Gothic*
I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay
