just the way you are

chapter 13 frustrated

She knew she could sing. Sometimes she sang out of anger and frustration and other times it was loneliness with a dash of hope that she'll be saved.she sucked in a deep breath.

"Well you can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place
I don't care anymore
You can tell everybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cause I just can't win
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore

I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play

'Cause I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end
They don't care anymore
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind
I don't care anymore, I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway"

A simple message really. When she remembered the beatings she'd get for misbehaving.

I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore

She really did. She could train better then listen to him blabber nonsense.

Well, I don't care now what you say
'Cause every day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey, I'll do alright by myself
'Cause I know

She knew what she was. She was fine with it. For the most part anyway...

'Cause I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cause you held all the cards
I don't care anymore

And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cause all I want of you is just a let me be
I don't care anymore, d'you hear? I don't care no more

The phone rings its her father. Her eye brows scrunch up together but she keeps singing.

I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway

I won't be there no more
So get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more!

You know I don't care anymore!
Don't care no more! No more, no more, no more
Don't care, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more"

Of course a bubbly voice just had to be watching her. "You say "no more" a lot weiss." She winked at her.

Weiss turned away "how long have you been there?"

"Not long... But I'm glad i was able to hear it. It's really good weiss..." She hugged her from behind. Weiss stiffened. "You should sing to me again"

A lump formed.

"I know that you're frustrated and singing helps. Probably lets you get all that hot air out-"

weiss chuckled. "Yea.. Probably"

"To?"

"...both i suppose"

Weiss liked this the closeness. But at the same time she felt like ruby was suffocating her. Her touches felt like burns. And weiss swore that if she lifted up her sleeves she'd see the imprints of her fingers there.
