Stand My Ground by Katsuko




				I can see when you stay low nothing happens. Does it feel right? Late at night, things I thought I put behind me haunt my mind. I just know there's no escape now once it sets its eyes on you, but I won't run; have to stare it in the eye. Stand my ground, I won't give in. No more denying; I got to face it. Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside. If I don't make it, someone else will stand my ground Chapters Friday, October 21, 2005 o n e All she really wanted to do right now was sleep for a week, but a few hours of uninterrupted rest would suffice. Her father was at work, the neighbour across the hall was playing Chopin and she'd unplugged the phone immediately upon walking through the door. Now if only she could get him out of her head, this sleep thing would all come together. Thankfully no one knew everything that had happened all those months ago during Battle City, and she thought she'd worked through the pain and humiliation... until she arrived in Egypt and saw him again. "God damn it," she grumbled, kicking off her blankets and wandering back out to the living room. Maybe some hot chocolate would help; her father had always made it for her when she was younger and couldn't get to sleep, and right now she needed something innocent to get her mind off that feeling of uselessness she experienced every time her thoughts drifted back to that day. She'd just finished melting the chocolate when she heard the door open and close once more. Before she had time to call out a greeting, her father walked into the kitchen, stopping the moment he saw her. "Hey," he said, reaching over to smooth her hair. "When'd you get back to town, sweetheart?" She smiled; her father always made her feel precious, priceless and loved. "About three hours ago. Then I had to do the female bonding thing with The Bitch before leaving the airport. I was trying to sleep, but...." "No joy?" Her father ushered her to a chair then finished making her hot chocolate. "Here you go, baby. Then I want you in your room. I'll field any calls from your friends, and I'm calling you out of school tomorrow too. You need your rest." She couldn't help herself. "Thank you, Daddy." "Anything for my girl." He leaned down, lightly kissed her forehead. "Drink up, Katsuya, then go to bed." Updated 3:32 PM 0 comments
