Those were the words that repeated themselves over and over in Lexi's mind as she gazed at the glowing sunset. Underneath the orange, gold and pink streaks of sky, she could hear the distant roar of the vehicles and the bustle of people, winding their way home on the coal black pavement or sliver sidewalk. It amazed her to see them, smiling and laughing with friends, as if nothing were wrong. That they neither knew nor cared about the life that had been lost.
She herself could hardly recall the day's events without experiencing terrible heartache and loss. That it had been mere hours since he died. That it had only been minutes before, when she and the others had lain him to rest in a coffin, affirming any doubts to the fact that he was dead. As tears had formed in her eyes, she stayed a good few feet away as she watched the boys fill in the grave with rich smelling fresh soil. But as they walked sadly and slowly back to HQ she hid her tears, yet, she knew the others had noticed.
Lexi smiled fondly as she remembered her last sight of him. He had looked so handsome and peaceful, looking as if in a silent and pain-free dream.
She shut her eyes tightly, forcing the fresh tears to retreat.
How could he do this? she thought bitterly, suddenly filled with a new emotion.
How could he do this? To me. To the team. To Zadavia. To his family and friends. How could he do this to us?
He had left them all behind as he now ventured away from this life and into the next. The one beyond living. Death.
Her rage was cut short when she remembered, painfully, how he died.
Black Oracle: your fan fics made me really happy, so happy that i didn't get bored and blow stuff up! (jk) lol! And because of all the details in your stories, i became better with detailing mine. kaejae: your fan fics have got to be some of the best I've read. Love the Ace and Lexi stories alot that i based one of mine on an Ace/Lexi/OC triangle. And the fan art, girl.... you are really talented. They are some of my inspirations for my stories. matn90: I based this one-shot on his 'Brother' one-shot at FF.net. It was so sad that it made me cry. LU: Of course!
I was listening to love songs while i wrote this so.... ya. Thanx again you guys! P.S. I gotta figure out how to make part 2 work. so far i only have the 1st paragraph!
Aaaaaw!!! That is so good the way you brung out the emotion in this story. My guess of who she was talking about could be Ace. But I could be wrong. You didn't say who it was but it's most likely gonna be Ace. Nice story though.
I think that knowing how it feels to lose something dear to you helped me with this story because everything Lexi felt, I felt 3 years ago when my dad died from a heart attack.
Anyway I gotta come up with something that will work for the 2nd part. But I think I know what its gonna be. I just need to 'fine tune' it a bit. So if everything works out and i dont get too much hw, i think i'll post up the next part pretty soon!
hmmmm..... i guess i gotta start workin on my hw soon, otherwise Koomen's gunna flip. And Hannon. and Stewart. and Wydness. and McCartney..... wow i just realized how much hw i have.
Tech: Then go finish it! me: oh, come on! i wanna post up the 2nd part! Tech: stories come after hw! now go finish it! -points at backpack overloaded with hw- me: but...... Tech: no! me: fine dogbreath! Tech: how many times do i have to tell everyone! IM NOT A DOG, IM A COYOTE! me: but you realize you just admited that your a canine, correct? Tech: ya, so? me: so that means you are a dog! Tech: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! me: -walks off smirking-
I gotta stop writing these little scenes. P.S. next part is comin soon!
Sorry about your dad and all Doggirl. It must be hard living through that sort of time.
But I guess it sort of reminds me of my Grandad Clive. I never really knew him very well. One was that I was too young to remember him. Plus, being scared of him didn't really help bond either. No-one knew why. He was a nice man. He'd never hurt a fly or anyone. He wasn't abusive to anyone. He was just a good man. I was just scared of him.
But the thing that helped me bond with him was a bowl of grapes. As I said, I was so scared of him, I couldn't look at him. So, what he did was that he sat on the chair and picked a grape from the bowl and extended his arm out towards me with his head turned away from me so I couldn't see his face. I liked grapes. So I carefully and swiftly took the grape from his hand and ate it before he faced me again. He did the same thing several times before a few weeks later, I started to like him.
But that relationship didn't last though. He died of cancer just as we were finally bonding. It kinda makes me sad that I didn't really like him until he went. It made me wish I would have liked him in the first place.
But still, stuff happens but we have to move on. I sort of feel the same sympathy as you Doggirl.
Thanx Akira Cat and im sorry to hear about your grandad. Yea its tough to lose the ones you love, and even though it gets easier and easier to think about them, it doesnt mean that they're gone from your heart and mind.

I don't know. I was too young to remember. Probably because he was so tall. And I mean really tall. Well, when you're 2, 3, possibly 4 years old, you can't help but be scared of someone taller than you. Even if they're really nice.
Aaaaaw!!! That is so good the way you brung out the emotion in this story. My guess of who she was talking about could be Ace. But I could be wrong. You didn't say who it was but it's most likely gonna be Ace. Nice story though.
