Niall Pov-
Its been two months. And it sucks. No Katie.No updates. Mary has been so clingy lately, it drives me crazy.
"Good morning sweetie." Mary smiled,kissing my cheek.
"Morning." I faked a smile.
"Damn it just call her, or go visit her." Mart scoffed. I would but Katie made it clear that was not what she wanted.
"I'll go for a drive. Ok, beep back soon." I kissed her cheek and walked away.
"Bye." She grumbled.

I sat in my car and put the key in the ignition. When the radio came on, i totally stopped. I pulled over what little bit i and driven and listened.



My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release

You gave it all into the call
You took a chance and
You took the fall for us

You came thoughtfully
Loved me faithfully
You taught me honor
You did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me, my love

Now I am strong, you gave me all
You gave all you had
And now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you

You took my hand and added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly
Did what you could release
Ah, ooh

I know you're pleased to go
I won't relieve this love

Now I am strong, you gave me all
You gave all you had
And now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, I'll be with you

Her voice was sweet. And crisp. It sounded like a song Katie gave me once. Guaranteed i still had the lyrics, on the paper in my wallet.
The announcer confirmed my thoughts.
"Well, that was a new artist Katie Bates. She is new and has a lovely voice. hmm?" He asked.
Yes. She does. I looked at the lyrics on the torn page. The same. I turned up the radio, and listened to how she won this contest,and has four songs being published. Good for her. But how long had she kept it that she cant sing? I didn't care, cuz i had to remember what she said. It Stabbed through me worse than her telling me she loved me.

Just than Mary texted me. Could she not get i wanted to be alone,and drink Way my thoughts right now.
Mary-Call me please. Love you xoxoxox
Me-k
I dialed her number
"Hey sexy." She answered.
"Hey." I answered flatly.
"I told you to forget her. You have me. Why do you need her?" She asked flustered.
How did she not get i needed Katie. I didn't answer her.
"Ni, she is a frail child. Not ready for anything. Really dear, you could do better. Like me for example." She stated, not taking my silence as an answer.
"How dare you ask that? She is my world and i lost it. I try to forget, but her voice just rings in my head. You will never understand. I need her Mary. I need her up there with me in two months smiling telling me good luck as i marry you. Not a voice in my head telling me that same thing."
I began to,sob and hung up. I,drove to the bar i have been going to for the past two months. I stepped in and sat at my usual spot. The bartender handed me my usual. Then i heard her voice, and it wasn't my imagination. She was sitting on the small stage used for karaoke and was singing a tune, it was her own and it was one that described my feelings,right now.

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see

I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases
Of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words, mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have traveled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids

And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

I fought the urge to run up there and hug her. But most of all i wanted her to know i felt the same.
