Pity The Child

Kristen smiled softly. "You want anything else Johnny?"

"Make ut stop hurting..." John groaned quietly, curling up slightly under his fur blanket. He felt weak and pathetic. But he didn't care right now.

Kristen sighed softly. "I wish I could hun, I really do."

John just sighed. "I should start packing, since we leave in two days.... But I dont feel like it." He mumbled.

"I'll do it for you," said Kristen. "Don't worry about it."

"Thanks." John mumbled against the couch. He sighed, playing with a strand of his hair. "I want my Daddy..." He grumbled.

Kristen sighed softly. "I know Johnny, I know."

John sighed. he grabbed his phone and went into the other room. He dialed a familiar number. "Daddy..." John whimpered into the phone.

Kristen sighed. She wanted to help John, but she didn't know how.

John finished talking to his Dad, feeling a little better. He went back into the livingroom, sitting next to Amber and putting his head in his hands.

Amber wrapped and arm around John. She hated seeing him like this. Then she got an idea. She'd use the one thing she new to try to relax him, her voice. She immediately thought of the perfect song, with a few modifications.

It's not you, he says
It's just that life's so hard
We all get through, I say
Hang on tight
I'll be your bodyguard

Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart
Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart
Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart
Oh, oh, I just wanna see him smile


It's such a drag, he says
When the world's so mean

It's just a red flag, I say
Gotta look for the green
Oh, oh, oh

Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart
Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart
Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart
Oh, oh, I just wanna see him smile

Cynical town can be tough on an angel
Clip his wings baby, one, two, three
I'm his clown cause I laugh at
Angels richer than kings
Oh, Johnny, don't you see?
Johnny, don't you agree?

Wish I knew why, he says
But on a sunny day, I find the rain
Let's give it a try, I say
We can dance all through the pain

Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart
Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart
Something's breakin' my Johnny's heart


Oh, oh
Oh,oh
Oh,oh
Ooooh, oh, oh

I just wanna see him smile
I just wanna see him smile
I just wanna see him smile
I just wanna see him
Just wanna see him...smile

John felt his eyes tear up during the song, a shaky smile gracing his lips. He slowly laid his heartbreak filled body down, his head in Amber's lap. He closed his eyes, Amber's voice lulling him to a peaceful sleep.

Amber smiled and gently stroked John's hair. He'd been there for her when she needed him, now she wanted to do the same
