When you're gone…

This songfic may be a one-shot so don't get your hopes up about a new chapter. Jemima has just lost Alonzo to Cassandra. The two had been mates for quite some time until Cass stepped in and straight up stole Alonzo. Why? Because Cass is a b****. That's why.

Jemima ley on her bed staring at the roof of her and Alonzo's once shared den. Shared until maybe an hour ago. Jemima ley, replaying the conversation with Alonzo over and over again in her mind, willing herself not to cry.

"Jemima," Alonzo said "This is going to sound cliché, but…" Jemima's heart dropped. ""Over the last couple of months, I've realized that we are no longer moving in the same direction. I love you so much and indeed we have grown a lot these past few years..."

Jemima's faced hardened,

"What website did you get this speech off of?" she said, harshly. Alonzo winced at the sweet queen's tone and words. There was no point in lying to her now.

"WikiHow. Break up opening lines."

Jemima looked disgusted and hurt.

"Jem," Alonzo said, trying to redeem himself, "You know I am bad at this sort of thing."

"Just say what you want to say and get it over with." Jemima said in a desperate whisper.

"I'm… I'm… I'm… leaving you."

"What?!" Jemima asked, her eyes filling with tears.

"I… can't be in this relationship anymore." And at that, Alonzo turned on his heel and away from Jemima, concealing the fact that his heart was breaking over the little calico. Jemima just stood there, blinking back tears as she watched the love of her life walk away from her. She immediately ran straight to her den, worried that someone would see her.

Not twenty minutes later, there was a knock on her door and Victoria's voice, now extremely shrill rang out.

"Jemima! I just saw Alonzo with Cassandra! When did you two break up?"

"About twenty minutes ago." Replied Jemima, her voice dangerously close to wobbling, though she still refused to cry.

"Oh Jemima!" Victoria cried as she rushed into Jemima's den and curled around her best friend. "Jemima… Jemima…" she repeated, quietly, over and over as she groomed her friend's fur. Victoria had been the one to set Jemima and Alonzo up together, so this was also a blow to her self-esteem. Well, her match making self-esteem.

"Victoria," Jemima said, "Please, I just need some time alone."

"Of course!" Victoria said, for she knew the feeling of losing her mate. She had felt the same way when she lost Plato, though, he had been killed by Macavity, not dumping her for a horrible, little, sk-

"Give me a yell if you need me." And Victoria left the den.

Jemima refused to continue remembering that. She closed her eyes. The feeling was back. The feeling of pain, just behind her eyes. The feeling you get when you can't stop the oncoming flow of tears. Jemima, however, was a master of avoiding this feeling. She could simply stop it by singing about her feelings. It made her feel so much better. She could diss someone loud and clear and no one would know who it was about. Jemima, swallowing the lump in her throat, opened her mouth and let the words flow out of her…

I always needed time on my own,

I never thought I'd need you there when I cry.

Jemima and Alonzo had never been a traditional couple. She was always a very independent little queen.

And the days feel like years when I'm alone.

Though they had been broken up for an hour or so, Jemima felt like it was forever.

And the bed where you lie,

Is made up on your side.

She hadn't touched Alonzo's side of their bed in case he came back. She extremely doubted it though.

When you walked away,

I count the steps that you take,

Do you see how much I need you right now?

She stared out the window and she felt her heart – or more what was left of her heart – shatter. There was Alonzo, twirling Cassandra the same way he used to twirl her.

When you're gone,

The pieces of my heart are missing you,

She felt broken.

When you're gone,

The face I came to know is missing too,

She felt shattered.

When you're gone,

The word I need to hear to always get me through the day,

And make it okay,

I miss you.

She felt lost.

The feeling that she was trying to supress was coming back in full force so Jemima kept singing, trying to get it to go away.

I've never felt this way before,

Jemima had never loved anyone as much a she loved Alonzo

Everything that I do reminds me of you.

The feeling wasn't going away. Her eyes began to sting.

And the clothes that you left,

They lie on my floor,

Jemima could barely look at the collars that belonged to him. Her eyes began to blur as the tears she had tried hard to supress formed in her eyes.

And they smell just like you,

I love the things that you do.

His scent still lingered in her den.

When you walked away,

I count the steps that you take,

Do you see how much I need you right now?

Jemima watched, on the verge of tears, Alonzo pull Cassandra in close for a passionate kiss. At that, Jemima, tore herself away from the window, her eyes dangerously close to spilling.

When you're gone,

The pieces of my heart are missing you,

She felt the first tears slide down her face.

When you're gone,

The face I came to know is missing too,

She felt her face become slowly wetter as more tears poured down her face.

When you're gone,

The word I need to hear to always get me through the day,

And make it okay,

I miss you.

Jemima made no move to wipe the tears from her face. The song continued to flow from her lips like the tears out of her eyes.

We were made for each other.

Did Jemima really believe that?

Out here forever

I know we were, yeah,

She wasn't sure anymore. She took a deep breath. Even crying couldn't mask Jemima's beautiful voice.

All I ever wanted was for you to know,

Everything I do, I give my heart and soul,

I can hardly breathe,

I need you here with me! Yeah!

An uncontrollable fire ripped through Jemima as she belted out the last chorus.

When you're gone,

The pieces of my heart are missing you,

Her heart pounded with hatred and heartache.

When you're gone,

The face I came to know is missing too,

Hatred towards Cassandra for taking her love from her. Heartache towards Alonzo for she knew she would never truly get over him.

When you're gone,

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day,

And make it okay,

I miss you.

As soon as she had sung the last note, she finally collapsed on the floor and broke into uncontrollable sobs that rippled through her whole body. She ley, crumpled on the floor for hours, tears flowing out over her silently as she mourned the loss of her love.

What do you think? I may write another chapter about Alonzo and how he's taking the breakup. Does he really love Cassandra? Is he worried that Cassandra may hurt Jemima? Let me know if you want another chapter. The first person to guess the song gets a one-shot request. Plz put the song name and artist + the one-shot request in the same comment. Okay, that's all… BYEEE!
