Fix You - Coldplay

I don't know how long I've been gone, or even if anyone is looking for me... All I've been was a bother to Ponyboy and his brothers, even when I thought I wasn't being one.

There is no way Ponyboy was coming to find me, him or his brothers would look for me. My stuff was probably sold off or thrown out by now.

I don't know where I am, it's too dark to see and it's always almost dead quiet when they lock me in the room to be alone. Those boys, who took my bag, they found me and took me instead...

Eating wasn't very frequent with me, they wouldn't give me anything. Water was scarce as well, they give me just enough to still function.

I didn't do anything to them so I have no idea of why I'm locked in this dark room, where they sometimes pull me out to hit me or just laugh at me. They call me pathetic because when they hit, I don't bother to hit back.

It'll only make it worse for me in the end. Why fight when you don't... don't have anything to fight for...?

My body is tired and I long for sleep, I long for the peace of closing my eyes and just drifting away. But it's too cold to even get comfortable on the hard floor.

I just want leave here, I want to be gone... I want to be a lot of things but these guys don't want me to see the light of day again.

I was finally starting to drift off when I heard loud footsteps echoing closer and closer. My eyes shoot open quick and I look at the door, waiting for whoever was about to come in, to come in.

The door opens after a moment with someone messing with the lock and a bright light flashes in. I wince and cover my eyes quickly, the bright light hurting my eyes.

"He's in here," the man yells.

"H-huh," I murmur out.

He steps closer to me and I curl into a ball slightly. Placing a hand on my shoulder, u uncover my face slightly.

"We're going to get you out of here kid," he says. "Don't worry."

I nod my head slightly and swallow thickly, slowly shifting to sit normally. He grabs my hand carefully and pulls me onto my feet.

My vision spins and my stomach knots up quickly, causing me to almost gag. I use a hand to cover my mouth quickly.

"Lets get you to a hospital, you don't seem okay kid," the man says. "C'mon."

Just then, he leads me out of the room and the light was on, causing me to see who it was. Surprisingly, it was a police officer.

"T-thank you," I murmur, barely audible.

"No problem..."

I wake up slowly and whine, biting my lip and opening my eyes. Just then, I felt the pressure on my hand and slowly turn my head. In the chair next to me, asleep and holding my hand, was Ponyboy.

My eyes widen and my cheeks heat up, feeling my face go red. He stirs slowly and his grip on my hand tightens slightly.

His eyes open and he stares at me for a minute. A grin makes its way onto his lips and he laughs lightly, it seems to be in disbelief.

"Johnny... Your awake," Ponyboy says quietly. "Finally..."

"How long was I asleep," I ask him. "I don't remember even falling asleep."

"According to the doctor, you got here yesterday night but didn't even have record of anything on you. So, they just cleaned you up and let you sleep," Ponyboy says. "Why didn't they have a record on you?"

"Didn't I tell you I ran away from home," I say. "I'm not from here, I live wherever I can afford..."

"So... You don't want to be with my brothers and I?"

"I-i do Pony... I-i really do, I like y-you guys... A-and I really like you," I say, the last part a bit quiet.

"Y-you like me," Ponyboy asks. "H-how?"

"I-i don't know how to d-describe it..."

"Do your best please," Ponyboy says with a smile.

"O-okay... W-well my stomach gets all queezy, m-my heart beats against my c-chest, m-my mind goes blank a-and my face gets all warm," I tell him. 

Johnny...," Ponyboy says. "That's love..."
