Chapter 5: Roll to Me
Penny: My mom (RIP) used to play this song at max volume in the car on long trips. I miss her a lot. What better thing to do than to have Wally sing it to Dixie in her time of need.
Wally P.O.V.
It had been a year since Dixie got her powers and she came back to the apartment that Roy and I shared. There were tears rolling down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably. She had gotten a boyfriend a few months ago and I knew that he had been cheating on her but she was so blinded by love that she didn't see it.
I picked her up and put her on my lap. "Dix, it'll be okay. Just breathe. Copy me okay... in... out." I said while rubbing her back.
"I should've just picked between you and Roy a long time ago. I really did love both of you for some reason. Let's go somewhere. I want to forget about Blake." She said grabbing my hand and dragging me out the door.
We arrived at a place that Dixie had gone to with the Titans a bunch of times.
"You should sing Wally. That would totally make me feel better." She said smiling.
"Alright, Dix but just for you." I said patting her head and walking up to the booth.
"Look around your world pretty baby is it everything you hoped it'd be? The wrong guy, the wrong situation. The right time to roll to me, roll to me."
"Look into your heart pretty baby is it aching with some nameless need? Is there something wrong and you can't put your finger on it? Right, then roll to me. And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair. So if you want to talk the night through guess who will be there?"
"So don't try to deny it, pretty baby you've been down so long you can hardly see. When the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining it's the right time to roll to me, roll to me, roll to me. And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair. So if you want to talk the night through guess who will be there?"
"So, look around your world pretty baby is it everything you hoped it'd be? The wrong guy, the wrong situation. The right time to roll to me, the right time to roll to me, the right time to roll to me...oooh."
There was applause but I just looked at her. Even after the year that we had had and her becoming powerful and kidnapped more often than not, I still wasn't over her.
I walked over and pulled her in her lips met mine and that was all that I needed.
"Sorry, I know that you weren't ready for..." She cut me off with a finger to my lips when she leaned in and wrapped her arms around my neck.
