Summary:  Mac discovers she's never really alone.

~~ = Lyrics

************************************************************************

~~ When you walk through a storm hold your head up
high

And don`t be afraid of the dark. ~~

She had to find away to ignore the pain. The pain that
was haunting her ever since that eventful day. Running
was her only way to forget. To forget that he was gone
out of her life forever.

She ran until there was nothing left in her to give
her the energy to keep going. She fell over onto the
ground just laying there. The rain was pouring down
upon her, but she didn’t feel the raindrops as they
pelted her body. There was no more feeling left in
her. 

It was the salty taste of tears on her mouth that
awoke her insides up from its own death. She was
feeling something! She would go on, and fight against
the pain of the past, and move into the future. The
future without him in her life. The man that had saved
her from her worst enemy, and the man that showed her
love. He would want her to keep going.

~~ At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark. ~~

In the distance, she knew her home lie. It used to
provide her comfort from the heartache her life had
brought her. Home was the place to escape to, and not
the place where love lie for her in wait. There was no
more comfort there. Not even Jingo could welcome her
like so many before him he also passed on.

If she turned another direction lie another home for
her. This one was the home of love, but it was home to
other pain. The pain of unrequited love. It was home
to a person she would love for the rest of her life,
and never know what it would be like to have it
returned.

To the east, she could see the sun trying to fight the
rain that poured down around it. It so wanted to
brighten up her life, and give her strength. She
pushed herself up to a sitting position to watch its
own war between wants and what just is.

~~ Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain,


Though your dreams be tossed and blown.. ~~

Standing up slowly, she moved towards that sun. It was
her ray of hope. The sun meant that the rain will
stop, and soon happiness would shine upon the Earth
once again.

Her head was held up high with the strength that came
from years of winning over the pain. The strength
given by being a Marine Colonel, and of course, the
strength from being stubborn.

She never noticed the man standing off to the side
holding an umbrella. His face carried a slight smile
as he watched the woman move off towards the sun. He
knew she would be all right once again. He walked off
never noticed by the precious woman he loved.

~~ Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you`ll never walk alone, ~~

Looking off toward what she assumed was a stranger,
she finally realized how cold she felt. Her clothes
were soaked all the way through, clinging to her like
a glove. The sweats were no longer useful in keeping
out the cold.

It was then she decided to head home. Home was where
she could find warm clothes, a fireplace to make a
fire, and dig out that hot chocolate. Ignoring the
cold that was engulfing her she headed home. No longer
to hide, but to move on and plan the future.

Entering her building, the warmth of her helped her to
the elevator. Her body was weakening again against the
cold. By the end of the trip up to her floor, she was
coughing like there was no end in the future.

The doors opened to reveal what to her was the
beautiful sight. He engulfed her in his arms and held
her giving her love and strength and warmth. Picking
her up in his arms he took her to her apartment, and
let her inside. The fireplace had a warm fire going,
and there was a cup of hot chocolate waiting for her
on the coffee table.

He brought her to her room, and there lay dry clothes
for her to change into. She looked up at him, and
asked, “You were there?”

“Yes I was.”

“Why?”

“Because you’ll never walk alone.”

~~ You´ll never walk alone. ~~

THE END
