This is the sequel to Goodbye My Lover
When Snow Falls // You Found Me - Part 1
I woke up today, I woke up wide awake,
In an empty bed, staring at an empty room,
And I have myself to blame, for the state I'm in today,
And now dying, doesn't seem so cruel.
Chrissie ran up the stairs with tears streaming down her cheeks. She'd lost Jake forever now. She hated herself for losing him. She walked into the kitchen. The candle was still burning on the table. She felt so stupid for ever thinking Jake would forgive her. She threw the table over angrily and ran out and into the bedroom. She slammed the door behind her. Her body ached. Her head ached. Her heart ached for Jake. She fell onto the bed. She cried harder. And with each sob, her body collapsed up and down. Eventually she cried herself to sleep.
Jake was in the kitchen packing his stuff once again. He heard footsteps out in the hall. It was Alfie. He walked into the room rubbing his eyes.
Alfie: What are you doing Jake? I thought you were with Chrissie.
He pulled a chair out and sat down, still rubbing his eyes.
Jake: I'm leaving. I need to be alone for a while.
Alfie: Jake, don't be stupid.
Jake: I'm not being stupid, I mean it. I'm leaving and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
The flame on the candle caught onto the table cloth. The room glowed with flames and the fire got increasingly bigger.
Alfie: You can't leave.
Jake: Why not?
Alfie: Because your girlfriend is pregnant with your child.
Jake: I have no future with Chrissie. She lied to me and I can't forgive her for that.
Alfie: What do you mean you have no future? You're gonna have a family of your own sometime soon, and if that's not a future, I dunno what is.
Jake: She lied to me though and I can't live with that.
He picked up his bags and started to leave. Alfie grabbed his wrist.
Alfie: Just think about what you're throwing away. A family. A child. A lover.
Chrissie woke up coughing and spluttering. The room was full of smoke. She staggered out of bed and opened the door. Flames leapt at her like vicious dogs. She screamed. She found it hard to breathe and fell to her knees. She tried to crawl but she couldn't find the strength. She fell to the floor.
Chrissie: Jake...
She passed out, falling into the darkness.
Jake shook Alfie's hand away and walked out. Jake dropped everything he was carrying when he saw the burning pub.
Jake: Chrissie..
