The Only One I Need Is You

I kept my eyes closed as Jaime opened the door. "Vic...?" he asked half heartily.
"Jaime! Please let me see Ryn. I need to explain what happened last night."
"She's sleeping. Come in, let's wait for her to wake up. Want a drink?"
He came in. "No, I don't want a fucking drink."
"Whoa, Man. What happened last night?"
"I... She... The..."
"S'okay. No need to explain. We'll talk later. I'll wake her up." He came over and shook me until I 'woke up'. "Your dad is here..."
"Jaime, please. Make him go away."
"I think he really needs you, Kid."
I sat up and glared at my dad as he waved slightly. "What the hell do you want? I heard you last. You made your point."
"I was drunk! I remember everything that happened but... I was drunk. I didn't mean a word of it."
"Yeah, right. You're a fucking asshole! An asshole and a hypocrite!"
"Please just come home... I'll explain it there."
"Why not here? So you can hand me your blades and tell me to kill myself again?"
"Ryn, you listen here! Just because your mother died and your dad is a rock star, does not give you permission to be a little bitch about it!" Both Jaime and I stared at him.
"Vic, calm down."
"Okay... I'm sorry..."
I started sobbing on the couch and hid my face in the couch pillow. He went up to me and hugged me. "Ryn, baby... sh sh it's okay... darling, you'll be okay...," he whispered such sweet words to me that I was lulled to sleep by the sound of his voice.

I woke up at night to be lying in a bed I recognized as my dad's. He can be such a sweetheart... why was I even mad at him? I heard voices in the basement.
"She won't die, Vic." Tony.
"Even if she doesn't, she can always kill herself," my dad said. I was too tired to be angry for him telling the guys.
"She'll be fine. I swear, Vic." Mike? Wow, he really DID have all the guys over. Jaime was obviously here.
They were acting as if I'd been asleep for a long time.
I got up and threw some clean clothes on. I noticed I was a bit wobbly on my feet. I used the railing a little to help me walk down quietly so I could eavesdrop more.
"This is what I have written... She sits up high surrounded by the sun One million branches and she loves every one "Mom and dad, did you search for me? I've been up here so long I'm going crazy!"
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground I heard the train shake the windows You screamed over the sound And as we own this night I put your body to the test with mine This love was out of control 3-2-1 where did it go?
Now don't be crazy Yes now of course you can stay here. Been in a touring band for going on ten years. "Big deal," she said, "I guess you're official." I only said it 'cause I know what it's like to feel burned out
It gets you down, We've all been there sometimes But tonight I'll make you feel beautiful once again
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground I heard the train shake the windows You screamed over the sound (over the sound) And as we own this night I put your body to the test with mine This love was out of control 3-2-1 where did it go?
If I were you, I'd put that away See, you're just wasted And thinking 'bout the past again Darling you'll be okay
And she said,
[Lindsey:] "If you were me, you'd do the same 'Cause I can't take anymore I'll draw the shades and close the door Everything's not alright and I would rather..."
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground I heard the train shake the windows You screamed over the sound (over the sound) And as we own this night I put your body to the test with mine This love was out of control Tell me where did it go?"
"For her funeral song? If she dies?" Tony asked quietly.
"Who's dying?" I asked. All heads turned towards me.
"RYN!!! "everyone yelled in unison.
Vic ran up and twirled me around, lifting me up off the ground. I could feel his warm tears run down my arms as he held me.
