If Only Tears Could Bring You Back

Tears and sadeness were everywhere. As she looked around the room, there was only one thing out of place. Her.

[I]How will I solve tomorrow without you here? Brute luck will guide me though the answer's disappear.[/I]

She stared at her feet. She could hear everyone muttering, wondering why after all that's happened she still hadn't shed a tear.

[I]Is it too late? Are you to far gone to stay? Best friends forever should never have to go away.[/I]

The truth was she couldn't. No matter what happened she couldn't cry, something inside her told her no. She wanted to, to get rid of all the pain that has been forever held in.

[I]What will I do? You know I'm only half without you. How will I make it through?[/I]

First it was her father and her two little brothers:

*flashback*

She was on the computer, as usual. When her brothers started complaining about wanting to go outside. Her father was on his last nerve, so he got them dressed and then took them for a drive, leaving her, her sister, and her mother behind.

A few hours had passed when a knock came from the door. Her mother answered it thinking it was the girl's dad. Instead there stood two police men.

"Are you Mrs. Carol Smith?"

She nodded. "Yes I am."

"Can we speak to you alone?"

"Sure." She walked outside and closed the door.

About fifteen minutes had passed when the police men came escorting the girl's mother back inside. She was crying like crazy. They sat her down and asked that the whole family come into the room. After everyone came they told us the whole story.

The girl's father and two little brothers were not coming home. Appearently a drunk driver had hit them on the way home, both cars bursting into flames. No one had survived.

Everyone was crying, everyone that is except the girl.

*end flashback*

[I]If only tears could bring you back to me. If only love could find a way, find a way. What I would do. What I would give if you'd return to me, someday, somehow, someway. If my tears could bring you back to me.[/I]

Then it was her mother:

*flashback*

It had been a week. No one was the same. Her mother didn't go to work at all, instead all she did was cry, eat, sleep, and cry some more.

On Tuesday the following week her mother snuck out for a drive. No one saw her leave.

The next day however, both her mother's car and her body were found inside the Pico Rivera Lake.

Everyone got a freash amount of tears, except the girl, who still couldn't cry.

*end flashback*

[I]I'd cry here alone, shall if you sail home again. Just your emotion will carry you, I know they can.[/I]

Then her grandmother:

*flashback*

After hearing that her son and two favorite grandchildren were dead, she had cried so much that she wound up in the hospital.

Then after learning of the death of her daughter-in-law she couldn't stand it. The week after that she died of grief, heartbreak, and according to the doctors, old age.

*end flashback*

[I]Just like we'll guide you and your heart will chart the course. Soon you'll be drifting into the arms of your true love.[/I]

Everyone cried once again. The death of five people in three weeks was just to much to take. Yet, once again, the girl did not cry.

[I]Look in my eyes you'll see a million tears I've gone by and still there not dry.[/I]

'How ironic.' The girl thought as she heard the song being played throughout the house. 'This song is about crying, yet I haven't shed a single tear. . .'

[I]If only tears could bring you back to me, if only love could find a way, love will find. What I would do, what I would give if you return to me, someday, somehow, someway. If my tears could bring you back to me.[/I]

The girl's cousin came over to her. "This came in the mail for you." She handed her a white envolope with her name written on it. It had no addresses or stamp. She opened it and took out the card.

I'm sorry. . . . .@#$%

It was their code. A code shared between two friends. She dropped the card to the ground. The code written on that card could only mean one thing. Her friend, her bestest friend in the whole wide world was gone, just like that.

[I]I'd hold you close and shout the words I'd only wished were before. For one more chance, for one last dance. There's lots of things that I would not of known.[/I]

She walked calmly to the den in her house. Everyone was in there. She walked towards her sister and turned to face everyone. "M----My friend. . . .is. . . . .gone. . . ."

[I]If only tears could bring you back to me. If only love could find a way, find a way. What I would do, what I would give, if you returned to me someday, somehow, someway[/I]

She turned back to her sister who was speaking to her. "Kristy. . . .I'm sorry."

She bent down and hugged her. "It's ok. . .shhhh. . . ."

Then to everyone's surprise both girls started crying. Laura for Kristy and Kristy for all the tears that she had missed. Kristy looked around at everyone tears flowing freely down her eyes. "If only the words in this song were true. . ." But believe me when I say this, if it were true Kristy has cried enough tears to bring back ALL of her family members.

[I]If my tears could bring you back, bring you back, to mee.....[/I]
