I'll Be There For You

Being kissed was odd in his current world of pain. It was a pleasant feeling, one he would have given anything for only a few days ago, one his body wanted to lean up into and return. But on the other hand, any pressure or effort right now was like trying to stand up a bed of nails. Emmett did his best to kiss Phoebe back but it was weak, interrupted by a cringe of pain. "...Well, alright. I don' think I can argue with that." Summoning all of his courage to smile at her, he took a deep breath and tried to calm the upset in his heart. The situation he was in was so absurdly awful he still felt it might be a dream, but as it became clear it was reality his soul twisted and turned away from it. It was agony. "...I'm..uh...sorry your first Longnight turned out this way. I swear up 'til now they've been pretty borin'. I dunno why it got so bad alla a sudden. I've heard a lotta people talking in here about people dyin'...guess the Gods must be angry or somethin'." Emmett didn't know what it was that prowled outside in Longnight (except bulls, he guessed) but he assumed the Gods had some hand in it. Emmett I'll buy you a horse my love, and honey you shall ride And all my delights shall be walking at your's side Will stop at every lil' house, and drink when where are dry Be truth to one another, get married by and by.
