It's not great. I rote it last night in like 10
minutes. My little sister says its good, but I'll let
you guys be the judges of that. Also the song belongs
to Jordan Hill. Also, forgive me if its bad, cause I
have never heard the song before, and i just worked
with the lyrics that Megg gave me! Okay, I'm done
rambling now!

Remember me this Way

By Topaz

=======================================================

Cordelia Chase walked into her apartment for the first

time in two days. She couldn't sleep. She couldn't

eat. she couldn't talk. She could barely cry.

She missed Doyle. She missed him so much. Since she

couldn't get to sleep she turned on the radio. She

was hoping it would cheer her up a little bit.

Not that she actually thought it would help. She was

just hoping. There wasn't much that could cheer her

up right now. Not after what had happened. she just

laid in the bed and listened as a framilier song came

on the radio.

<<<Every now and then

We find a special friend

Who never lets us down

Who understands it all

Reaches out each time you fall

You're the best friend that I've found.>>>

The song was starting to make her eyes fill up with

tears. It was reminding her way too much of Doyle.

She hadn't realized she loved him until it was too

late. But now that he was gone she knew. And she

wanted him with her more than anything else she had

ever wanted. And that was alot.

<<<I know you can't stay

A part of you will never go away

Your heart will stay>>>

That last line had hit her hard. It was true. She

knew a part of Doyle would always be with her. She

could feel it. She could feel him. She felt him with

her the moment that he died.

But it didn't matter anymore. She didn't want to feel

him. She wanted to HAVE him. She wanted to feel his

heartbeat. She wanted to feel his breath on her body.

She just wished that he could come back to her.

Silently, she whispered, to noone in

particular,"Please Doyle! Please come back to me! I

jus wish I had one more minute with you! Just one

more minute!"

<<<I'll make a wish for you

And hope it will come true

That life would just be kind

To a gentle mind

If you lose your way

Think back on yesturday

Remember me this way

Remember me this way>>>

But she knew that that would never happen. He would

never came back to her. She also knew that she had

treated him badly. Even though she knew that he had

feelings for her. And even though she liked him too.

She didn't act like it. She was mean, and she didn't

give him a chance. And now he was gone.

<<<I don't need eyes to see

The love you bring to me

No matter where i go

And I know that you'll be there

Forever more apart of me you're everything

I'll always care>>>

And it was true. She would never stop caring about

him. As the chorus of the song repeated she thought

about all their time together. And how in the end she

had grown to love him.

She was finally going to go out with him. She had

finally realized that she loved him. And then he

died. She loved him so much now. And again she

started wanting him there with her. Watching her.

Guiding her. Loving her.

<<<And I'll be right be right by your shoulder

watching you

I'll be standing by your side and all you do

And I wont ever leave

As long as you believe

You just believe.>>>

That last verse had been too much for Cordelia. It

sounded way too much like something he woulod have

said to her. Had they ever gotten the chance to

become anything. She flipped off the radio and went

to slepp for the first time in two days. And she

dreamt of him coming back to her.

And she fell asleep to soon to notice a framilleir

figure forming beside her bed. The figure was fully

formed and sitting right beside her sleeping body on

the bed. And in the silence you could hear a male

voice with an Irish accent say "Cordelia, Princess,

Remember me this way," Then he kissed the top of her

head and disappeared.



Fin!

Well, what didja think! Nice twist, huh?

I'm think of writing a sequal. Should I?
