Cry
Disclaimer- I don't own anything. I wish I did, but I don't. The song belongs to Faith Hill. Characters belong to TP.
A/N - This is my first songfic. If Kel seems OOC, I'm sorry. That's all. I had to stretch the story a little to fit it with the song. (
If I had just one tear running down your cheek, Maybe I could cope.
Kel ran into her room, slamming the door. This wasn't how it was supposed to end. *Think. I am Lake, all is smooth and calm* thought Kel. Cleon had just said that he would have to marry, to save his fief. * It's alright. You knew it wouldn't have worked anyways. *
Maybe I'd get some sleep, If I had just one moment at your expense. Maybe all my misery would be well spent.
She could accept that she and Cleon were over, but to add insult to injury, his betrothed had shown up at the castle just a week later. What was worse, she was nice, beautiful, lady like * and had dimples * thought Kel bitterly. And Cleon had acted like I was invisible. That had stung.
Could you cry a little, Lie just a little? Pretend that you're
A little more pain? I gave, now I'm wanting something in return So cry just a little for me.
Cleon had smiled, said hello, and introduced Emerline (sp?) and shaken her hand. * He acted like nothing was wrong. Nothing was out of place. That's fine. But to bring Emerline? To introduce us. And for her to say that she had heard a lot about me. *
Cleon entered, leading a beautiful, blonde lady. He walked up to the group, smiling. "Hey there guys! I want you to meet someone. Emerline, honey, this is all the group. This is Neal, Owen, Falron, Merric, and last but not least, Kel." Cleon said enthusiastically. Kel just looked on in disbelief * Ok. Mask, nothing is to show. How could he? *
Emerline smiled. * And of course, she has dimples! *. Kel's mind was reeling. " Oh I've heard so much about you all! And Kel, I'm so glad to finally meet you! I have heard all about the wonderful things you do, how do you do it?" Emerline started. * and an absolute airhead.* Kel said. "That's lovely. I hope that they have all been good things." Kel said through a forced smile. "And if you don't mind me, I have some urgent work to do." With that, she headed back to her rooms.
If your love could be caged, then Honey. I would hold the key, and conceal it Underneath the piles of lies you handed me. And you'd hunt those lies. They'd be all you'd ever find. And that'd be all you'd have to know for me to be fine.
"Jump! Where are you? Come here boy!" Kel called. As Jump came out of the dressing room, he jumped up onto her bed. He sat there, looking at her, looking sad, and unsure of what to do.
And you'd cry a little, die just a little, and baby, I would feel just a little less pain. I gave. Now I'm wanting something in return. So cry a little for me. Give it up baby. I hear you're doing fine.
As unstoppable tears leaked down Kel's cheeks, a nock could be heard. "Kel? I know you're in there. Open up." called Neal. Kel started. She couldn't let Neal see her like this. She tried to stop herself, but her body betrayed her. She walked up to the door, and waiting for a second to gain some iota of composure, she pulled it open. There stood Neal, mid nock. He walked in, and shut the door firmly. "I know this is hard on you. But are you really going to let him win? Are you going to let him see you like this?" he said as he wiped the stray tears off of her cheeks. "No. I only want to not hurt. Why? Why does it hurt so much now Neal? I knew this was coming?" she muttered. Neal stiffened in surprise. He hadn't expected Kel to take it this hard. No. This was his Kel that could take anything. "Even though you knew this was coming, nothing can stop it. Nothing can stop the feelings either." Neal said as he hugged her. Kel looked up and saw something in his eyes that scared her. "Come now, wash your face and lets head down to dinner. Alright?" He was still startled at her reaction.
As Kel and Neal walked in, hand in hand, their group stopped talking. Cleon looked up at Kel's face, and felt his heart tug. As they sat down, Kel sniffed, and smiled. It was the only indication she was feeling anything. Falron looked at the Mask, and felt sorry for her. "Where's Emerline?" Kel asked Cleon. "I thought she would like to be here. You know?" she smiled at him. Neal looked at her with affection. It was amazing, how strong she could be. Kel looked at Cleon, burning up inside. Her head was a mix of emotions, it never stopped swirling.
Nothing gonna save me, 'til I see it in your eyes. Some kind of heartache, Honey, give it a try. I don't want your pity, I just want what's mine. Could you cry a little? Lie just a little? Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain? I gave. Now I'm wanting, something in return. So cry just a little for me. Looking at Cleon, Kel saw something in his eyes. She wasn't sure what. Pain? Sorrow? Remorse? Or even pity? Kel didn't want that. She just wanted to not hurt. Nothing could save her from feeling that pain. Looking to her left at Neal, she wondered. What had happened? Could something help her to pull her out of this? Friendship? Or maybe something more...?
A/N - Ok peoples. This is my first, so don't, please don't, kill me. Please push that wonderful little, light blue/light periwinkle button down there and send in a review. Also, I wasn't sure on how to spell Falron, and Emerline. If someone could please tell me? I am working on the next part of this songfic, so don't kill me! * runs behind tables hiding from angry mobs. * I know this is crapy, so please put up with me! ( Thanks.
