what a life (Naturals One shots)

day 4

Eyes make their peace in difficulties with wounded lips and salted cheeks.
And finally we step to leave to the departure lounge of disbelief.And I don't know where I'm going but I know it's gonna be a long time.

"Veronica it's not your fault" the fighting had gotten worst. Briggs and Sterling couldn't contain their grief in a healthy way. They blamed themselves. They blamed each other, and nothing could heal them, no matter how hard they tried. Veronica had started to pack in the middle of the night, tears ran down her face but no noise left her mouth.

And I'll be leaving in the morning come to the white wine bitter sunlight.Wanna hear your beating heart tonight

She gently laid her ring down next to Briggs phone and turned to leave. Instead, she turned and gently laid down next to him. He was the love of her life, loosing him was eating at her soul, but she couldn't stay. She laid her head in his chest, tears making small stains on his shirt.

Before the bleeding sun comes alive
I want to make the best of what is left hold tight

He didn't wake up, but a protective arm wrapped around her waist, just like he did when they were first falling in love.

Behind the dark sky you looked at me.
I fell for you like autumn leaves
Never faded evergreen

They had fallen hard so I'm love, Scarlett never let them forget it. She constantly made fun of the way they could easily complete each other's sentences. The first time she met him, he'd been charming but not to pushy, and now she was about to loose him, after loosing Scarlett.

I don't know where I'm going but I know it's gonna be a long time

She crept out of the house when someone cleared their throats and she turned, Judd sat on the porch with a cup of coffee. He looked at her, sadness crept over his face.

'Cause I'll be leaving in the morning come to the white wine bitter sunlightWanna hear your beating heart tonight Before the bleeding sun comes alive

"Ronnie, this isn't right" he said and She purses her lips "nothing is right Judd, I can't stay here not when everyone knows what happened" she bit her lip, more tears. Scarlett had died because of her and now she couldn't be around anyone.

I want to make the best of what is left hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time.I can't face, now everything has changed
I just wanna be by your side

Briggs woke up to an empty bed. He got up and walked around the house, Veronica was no where to be seen. Instead a small envelope sat on the counter. He picked it up and read it. Only a few words, but they absolutely broke him.

Before the bleeding sun comes alive
I wanna make the best of what is left hold tight

"Tanner, my first love, my only love please take care. I can't do this right now, she's gone and it's not fair to you or to her for me to stay. I love you so much. But this lifetime isn't for us." He numbly walked back to the room to grab his phone when he saw it. Her ring sat on his phone. She was gone, and Scarlett was gone.

And hear my beating heart one last time
Wanna hear your beating heart tonight.
