Summary:

Two people on the run.  One running from the past, the other running toward what's slipping away.  Can JC and Charlie find in each other what they lack within themselves?  Will the past tear them apart?

 

I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before, you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what is coming next
Or scared of having nothing left

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes
And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters
Tell me who do I run to?

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lover do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

Story Notes:

I originally started writing this as a ficiton novel, not as a fan fic but found inspiration and a muse in JC and his music.  I have done some tweaking of ideas and characters to make it work.

This is my first time posting fac fiction but I welcome all feedback.  I want it all, the good, the bad, the indifferent.  I thrive on constructive feedback.

I do not own any famous people mentioned in this story.  I used their likeness purely for entertainment purposes.  All other characters and story ideas are mine so don't steal my shit. 

Enjoy!

I feel like it's been forever since I posted.  People getting married and having birthdays (none of which were mine).  But alas, another chapter.  Hopefully it won't be as long before the next one.

Thank you to everyone who has hit the story and left reviews.  And a very big thanks for being this month's Featured Story.  Holy crap!!!!  So flipping exciting!  Thank you to DiamondDoss for creating a banner for me!  I love it!  

I hope you enjoy and leave feedback as always.  :)

The good times just keeps rolling.  Once again, I appreciate being the story of the month for June.  Check out the current story of the month if you have't already.

We get more into some background on Charlie.  Hope you enjoy!

I'm posting this one a little early since the next week and half will be crazy busy for me.  I've got some major first world problems right now.  LOL.  

Glad everyone is enjoying the story so far.  There is a small NSFW part in this one so heads up if that's not your thing.  It's mild this time.  Can't promise it'll always be mild.  We are talking about JC here.  ;)

I am blurry eyed from caring for a 4 month old puppy.  Forgive me if there are errors in this chapter.

Thanks as usual for those who have left reviews.  You rock my world!

I hope you enjoy!

Okay my pretties, here's another one.  I've been able to stick to my once a week postings so far.  Fingers crossed I can keep it up.

I am so happy that you all seem to like this story and keep hitting it and reviewing.  I love getting reviews.  Keep them coming.  Thank you to those who have dropped a line.  Feel free to drop another.  :)

Here's a little weekend treat for you.  I hope that you enjoy.

Just a heads up that there is little more detail into Charlie's self mutilation towards the end of the chapter.  If this is an issue for you, skip the last third of the chapter.  It gives some insight but I don't think it will make anyone get lost in the story if they don't read it.

Happy reading!

Dropping this one on you guys before I head out of town on my trip.  State fair fun times!!!

We're getting closer to Charlie spilling her guts.  I'm trying to get all the details organized and on paper without getting too emotional over it.  I didn't realize how emotional posting your writing can be.  I've had to take a step back a few times when it became too draining.

Anyhoo, thanks for sticking with the story and I hope you enjoy the chapter.
