Laughter Was Like A Fresh Breeze -

And The Smile I'd Been Waiting For Stretched Across His Face Like The Sun Breaking Free Of The Clouds.

I Used To Think Of You That Way, You Know. Like The Sun. My Personal Sun. You Balanced Out The Clouds Nicely For Me." He Sighed. "the Clouds I Can Handle. But I Can't Fight With An Eclipse.

Look, Just Stop Trying To Annihilate Yourself, Okay? Because If I Think You Can Do It, I'll Make Doc Pull Me Out Today. Or I'll Tell Jared. Just Imagine What He Would Do. I Imagined It For Her, Smiling A Little Through My Tears. Remeber? He Said No Guarantees About What He Would Or Wouldn't Do To Keep You Here. I Though Of Those Buring Kisses In The Hall...thought Of Other Kisses And Other Nights In Her Memory. My Face Warmed As I Blushed. You Fight Dirty. You Bet I Do.

I Had Never Given Much Thought To How I Would Die, But Dying In The Place Of Someone I Love Doesn't Seem Like Such A Bad Way To Go.

"happy Birthday," He Sighed, And Leaned Down To Touch His Lips To Mine. I Reached Up On My Toes To Make The Kiss Last Longer When He Pulled Away. He Smiled My Favorite Crooked Smile, And Then He Disappeared Into The Darkness.
