A/N: Song fic. The song is California by Metro Station. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP3UkZkdq6g ) I know the song doesn't really fit them, but it came on my iPod and I randomly started to write this. Enjoy. C:
We don't need a map and you can throw your phone away,
We don't wanna hear the things we know they're gonna say,
You don't trust yourself but girl trust in me,
Don't look in the mirror the past you don't wanna see,
I couldn't see your face through the phone, but I could tell you were looking at me like I was crazy. Crazy isn't always bad, I suppose. Your voice was raspy with the constraints of sleep. I, however, couldn't even shut my eyes without having my sanity slip from my grasp. When I was told I couldn't see Diana anymore my heart cracked in half.
That was why I called you at three in the morning, hoping you would come with me.
"I want you to come with me to California," I whispered into the receiver, smiling at my self praise to my own plans, even if they didn't deserve much.
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night, we can make it by the morning.
And, no one else will know if we decide to go, oh.
What do you say we leave for California?
"….What?" It took you a moment to remember how to speak.
I thought that you of all people would want to come. You didn't have much, Adam. I was all that you had, and if I was leaving, what was the point of staying?
I think that was why it didn't take you long to pack your bags. You were excited, which is what made me happy. I couldn't leave without you.
We only pulled over when you switched from sitting in the front to sleeping in the back. The car was silent for the most part, only making noise when you hummed out snores.
And while you slept, I had all the time in the world to think.
To think about how sorry I was for doing this to you. Taking you away from here. I know that I had more to sacrifice than you did, but you had friends, and people are what matter in the end.
"We'll have each other."
But what happens if we get sick of each other?
And as if you could read my mind, you kissed me. You kissed me and you meant it when you said you loved me.
That was when I knew I was going to die with you. Not in some sick trap that a maniac like Jigsaw would set up, but die with you as in spend the rest of my life with you.
If we leave our friends then we can be together
We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats
Maybe we could have played our cards a bit differently. How the hell did we get here, anyway? How did you find yourself bundled into a ball in the backseat of my car? You can call me crazy; I wont be offended because I'm feeling that way. You're my boyfriend, and that's one thing that's a bit hard to say. Not because I don't love you, you know that I love you enough to leave my life for you, but because the two of us are so new it's still setting in.
If anyone else asked you to leave for California with them at three in the morning, you would have said no. But it's me, and you know it's going to be okay. There was absolutely nothing to worry about, right? That was why there was a million songs about California. I want to have a better life for both of us, so let's go.
You can get away from your pictures. I can get away from the hospital.
So lets just go.
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
My stomach dropped. Not because I haven't eaten in God - Knows - How - Long, but because I'm nervous. We aren't teenagers anymore; we shouldn't be running away from our problems. We're adults now, should be facing the difficulties of reality head on.
But instead, we ran.
Hypnotized by the carbon monoxide
Would turning back be a good idea?
Your cigarette after cigarette
Cannot help to calm your fear
But now I'm still driving
Just keep sleeping
We'll keep moving
But I'm not leaving no I'm not leaving
I remember how you bed had so many cigarette burns in it. You keep sucking up that same old nicotine, blowing out the window so I don't have to intake it.
With every stick of cancer you light, I feel more guilt engulf me. You're stressed because of me, aren't you? I feel so bad. It's my fault, but again, you read my mind.
And every time you do that you seem to take my pain away.
You kissed me again. Your lips bumped into mine with such hunger they were burning with passion. I felt your fingers stroking the hair on the back of my neck, your other hand leaning all of your weight on to my leg.
That was when I knew, just by that kiss, that I wanted to run away with you. I wanted to, I knew that it would work out for us because we had each other.
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
