I turned another corner. Thunder roared in my ears. Lighting split the sky in half. I looked up defiantly. As if that could stop me.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away...

Nothing could keep me from him.

I just hoped it wouldn't be too late. The world was a blur, only the dark path in front of me stayed clear. A root I hadn't seen made me trip. The rain whipped at me harshly and I couldn't see. So I fell, so hard. So hard. It was nothing compared to the thought of even...losing him.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away...

Nothing could stop me from carrying on though.

I stood up, not even bothering to clean myself up. Me, that girl who used to be so preoccupied with her appearance. She was gone. Long gone. Lost. Just like he'd be if I didn't get there in time. I started running again, more determined than ever. I wouldn't lose him. Not again. Not...the words got lost in the storm. I was weakening. My knees gave out under me. I was on the muddy grounds of the forest. I turned myself over and saw the black sky through the treetops. I cursed it.

Then I thought,

Wild horses couldn't drag me away...

Nothing would stop me this time.

Not a storm, nor any man on this planet. I got up and hurried to the beach where I knew I'd find him. The forest ended and the beach began. The sand was dark, the sky was dark, the atmosphere was dark and the sea was dark. But there was light, hope. Deep inside of me. It pushed and shoved its way to the surface. A bit more, just one more step. I saw him.

The sea had coughed him up, kicked him back to the wretched earth that hated us so. Would we never be left alone?

I rushed to his side. His face was pale, his hair dark. He was so wet. Was he breathing? I was panicking. I pulled myself together. Staying calm, keeping up a expressionless face, that's easy for me. That's what I was born doing. But this time I couldn't. I bent over and listened. I couldn't hear anything. The noise was too much, too loud...

... too deathly.

My breathing was ragged, his wasn't there. I collapsed over him. His body. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

"No." I screamed.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away...

Yes. They could. They succeeded.

"Happy?"

"Happy?" I repeated, softer this time.

Tears were dripping onto him, mingling with the sea water and the rain. I pulled my shoes off, threw them as far from me as I could. The wet sand seeped through my toes.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away...

Oh yes they could...
