Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand ...

Anywhere - Evanescence

The rain fell harshly upon the dark forest. Droplets would fall from the leaves and puddles would form on the ground. Yellow rain boots splashed through them as 15_year_old Coraline Jones ran past them as fast as she could.

"Stop!" she heard from behind her, but she refused to listen. She pushed the branches out of her way as small tears ran down her face. All she wore was a blue vest top and jeans, making her feel a lot more then cold. But even this didn't stop her from going back.

"Come back here!" the voice cried again. This time though, she felt two arms wrap around her waist and tried forcing her to a stop. "No! Let me go!" she cried, lashing out to get this person off. She was turned around by the other 15_year_old. "Wybie let me go" she cried again, trying to pull herself away.

"No, I'm not letting you go! This is crazy Coraline! Where will you go?" Wybie yelled out, shaking her by the shoulders. "I can't stay Wybie... not with that door there, I can't... She's still there, I know it" she cried with more uncontrolled tears.

"Coraline, listen to me. The key is down the well, the door is locked, these are just nightmares! What about your parents, they'll be heartbroken" Wybie said holding onto her face and forcing her to listen to him.

Coraline screamed out before kicking him in the stomach. "Shut up, just shut up! You don't understand what it's like. I can't stay there and my parents refuse to move, it's not my fault, I-I have too" she said when pushing away and keeping her distance away from her best friend.

Wybie loosened his grip from his aching stomach and looked up to her with sadness. "But you can't go by yourself, what if something bad happened to you? What will you do for food? Your not old enough to get a job!"

"I don't care" she cried with sobs in her throat. She took a few steps back as if ready to leave, but Wybie ran to her faster. "Please, you can't leave... I-I don't know what I'd do without you" he said sadly, small tears forming in his own eyes.

Coraline let out a loud sob before rushing to him and wrapping her arms around his neck, burying her head into his shoulder. "Come with me" she whispered.

Wybie quickly pushed her away and stared at her in disbelief. "Are you crazy? You know I can't" he replied. Coraline looked at him angrily, "Why, because you have to look after your little old grandma? Will she be mad if her little helper wasn't there to do everything for her?" she mocked nastily.

Wybie glared at her through the rain. "That's not fair, you know she's too old to take care of herself!" he yelled. Coraline sarcastically put her finger to her lips and gave a smug yet in thought look. "Hum, I'd call you a mama's boy but we both know the problem with that."

Shocked by her harsh words, Wybie pushed her hard out of anger, "You know what, fine! Go ahead and run away, I don't care! I'd say hope you have a good life, but I don't!" he yelled before turning back and walking away.

"Fine, I don't need you, I don't need anyone. I never even liked you, I was just hanging around with you because your a sad idiot with no friends!" she yelled before turning the opposite direction and walking away.

Both of them stopped at nearly the same time and stood there as the rain pelted down.

Before anything else could be said or done, they both turned around and ran to each other. They held each other in tightly, refusing to let go as tears ran down both their cheeks, though more from Coraline.

Slowly they pulled apart. Wybie looked down sadly, not daring to meet her gaze and not wanting her to see his sadness. Coraline swallowed her tears before slowly cupping his face with her hands and leaning in closer, until her lips gently touched his.

She pulled away, yet held onto his arm. Wybie looked up to her feeling many mixed emotions: confusion, sadness, shock, regret, heartbroken.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop his lip from quivering as he whispered extremely quietly, "please..."

Coraline took a deep breath and tightened her grip on his arm, "I'm sorry" she whispered. Then slowly, her grip loosened and her hand fell down his arm and quickly landed onto his hand. For a second she gave it a quick squeeze, before letting it go completely.

And that was it. Wybie watched with pain as his best, closest and only friend vanished into the dark woods... never to be seen again.

He stood there for a long time until it finally sunk in. He dropped to his knees and lowerd his head into his hands.

He was never going to see that crazy, brave girl again.

So sad D':

I'm not really sure where I'm going to go with this story but I guess that will be the fun part of doing it :)

Thanks for reading and please review so I know if I should bother with this or not.

Thank you!

P.S. the song at the top. I will be putting up a little bit of the song on each chapter, seeing as how the story is named after it and it is about a girl running away and wanting her lover to go with her. It doesn't actually say if he goes with her in the song so meh :3
