Burn Away That Tear
(A/n: I'm too lazy to find a clean version of Our Love is God, so yeah...)
Dear Diary,
Close call last night. The only person at Westerburg who could actually control Lance and Eugene was Stalyan Chandler. And she is dead.
"Should've thought of that before you killed me." I heard Stalyan's voice in my head. Probably my guilt manifesting itself into her form. Great...
I didn't technically kill Stalyan, and I know that, but I still feel bad. But... not as bad as I should? And that makes me feel even worse.
"Oh, hey, guys. Still really looking forward to that apology from both of you for being two ice-cold jerks last night." I said, walking up to the remaining Populars, who were standing in front of Stalyan's locker.
"Um, cleaning out Stalyan's locker, little respect." Kiera smarted-off.
"Ugh. Kiera Duke was such a sad little poser." I heard Stalyan's voice once again, "(Y/n), tell her to stop touching my stuff."
I ignored her voice in my head.
"...(Y/n). (Y/n)!!"
"Shut up!" I snapped at the voice, but it came out of my mouth.
"You shut up!" she said back, "I don't have to shut up anymore!" she glared at me. She then held up a red scrunchie, and proceeded to tie her hair up with it.
"Hey, that's Stalyan's scrunchie!" Catalina frowned at her friend.
"Shut up, Catalina!"
"Sorry, Kiera..."
"Stalyan Chandler is gone... It's up to me to replace her." Kiera said, matter-of-factly.
"Replace Stalyan Chandler?" I questioned.
"Please. You need to worry less about me, and more about your reputation. Lance and Eugene have been telling the whole school about your little cow pasture make-out session last night."she replied.
"Cow pasture make-out session?" VD's voice sounded from behind me.
"What? N-no! Nothing happened!" I said, my head going back and forth from Kiera to VD.
"I'm just reporting what I heard." Kiera continued, "Lance and Eugene have been telling the whole school about how out-of-control you got last night. How you- How did they put it?"
"...put her lips all over ours." we over-heard Lance say to someone behind us.
"Ah, yes. That." Kiera smirked.
All around me I heard people talking about what had supposedly happened last night.
"They said she was hugging all over them!"
"-and then she kissed him!"
"Goody-two shoes (Y/n)?" "Yeah."
"Bet she'd do it to me, too-"
"She's just a attention-hogging brat!"
Tears rolled down my face as I clung to VD, who had ran to my side to comfort me.
"And that's the truth." I heard Lance say.
I huffed, sadly, and released VD, slowly starting to leave. Suddenly I heard a commotion, and turned around to see Varian doubled over in pain. Most likely, Lance and Eugene had beat him up, since I saw them walk away, laughing. The hall cleared out quickly, as everyone made their way to their classes. I ran over to VD and got down on my knees.
"Oh my goodness. Are you okay? Can you look at me? Are you okay?" I asked, worriedly. VD brought himself onto his knees. He had a black eye, and looked a bit weak. He looked up into my eyes with concern.
"Yeah. What about you?" he asked.
"Oh, yeah. No, I'm fine. I'm awesome." I said, covering my face as tears began to fall, "I'm sorry about the waterworks, I'm just-" I stopped, not knowing what to say.
"They made you cry, but that will end tonight. You are the only thing that's right about this broken world." he said then put a hand on my shoulder, "Go on and cry, but when the morning comes, we'll burn it down and then, we'll build the world again..." he stood up, "Our love is God." he said, then turned away, taking a step away from me. I could sense that something was wrong.
"Are you okay?" I asked, standing up and walking over.
"I was alone. I was a frozen lake, but then you melted me awake." he turned around to reveal tear-stained eyes. He took a step forward, "See, now I'm crying too. You're not alone."
"You're not alone..." I repeated.
"And when the morning comes,"
"When the morning comes..."
"We'll burn away that tear," he said, wiping away what was left of my tears, "And raise our city here..."
"Raise our city here." I repeated him.
"Our love is God." we said together, then began to plot our revenge on the two jocks. Once we came up with a plan, we started to execute it.
VD and I were hanging out in my room, as I called Lance and Eugene.
"Yeah-lo?" Lance answered from the other side of the call.
"Hi, Lance."
"It's (Y/n)!" I heard Lance whisper to someone who was presumably Eugene.
"Um, hey, how did you know it was always a fantasy of mine to have two boyfriends at once?"
"Uh... lucky guess?" I heard in reply.
"Well, if you want it to come true, then meet me at the cemetery. At dawn." I said, then hung up. Varian and I smiled at each other.
"We can start and finish wars," VD said.
"We're what killed the dinosaurs. We're the asteroid that's overdue." we said together, "The dinosaurs choked on the dust. They died because God said they must. The new world needed room for me and you."
"I worship you." VD said, holding my hands and looking into my eyes, "I'd trade my life for yours. We'll make them disappear. We'll plant our garden here..."
"Plant our garden here." I repeated.
"Our love is God." he said.
"Our love is God." I continued repeating.
"Our love is God."
"Our love is God."
"Our love is God."
VD pulled out a gun, keeping it pointed to the ground.
"Woah. Is that real?" I questioned.
"Yeah" he answered, "But we're filling it with 'Ich Luge' bullets."
"Ich Luge what?"
"My grandad scored them in World War II. They contain this powerful tranquilizer." he said, "The Nazis used them to fake their own suicides when the Russians invaded Berlin. We will use them to knock out Eugene and Lance just long enough to make it look like a suicide pact- complete with a forged suicide note." he handed me the gun, then continued, "And when the morning comes, they'll both be laughing stocks."
"So let's go hunt some jocks!" we both said, then set out for the cemetery. We arrived a bit early, and when we heard Lance and Eugene approaching, VD hid behind a tree.
"Hey, hi, hi." Eugene said.
"Hi... (Y/n)..." Lance added.
"So, do we just get down to it, or..." Eugene trailed off.
"Take it slow, Eugene," I said, "Why not take off those Varsity jackets? It's pretty warm out right now."
"Okay." the both replied, then did as instructed.
"This is gonna be great!"
"Yeah!"
They started to step forward, but I put my hand out, "We should count down, and then do it." I said.
"W-why?"
"I dunno." I shrugged, "Just 'cause."
"Okay..."
"One..." we began, "Two..."
"Three." VD stepped out of hiding and shot Eugene. I tried to get Lance, but missed. He tried to run away.
"Oh my goodness! You killed my best friend!" he shouted.
"Stay there." VD said to me, "I'll get him! Lance? Lance!"
"Why are you chasing me?!" I heard Lance say, terror filling his voice. I looked down at Eugene, and suddenly felt panicked. I knelt down next to him.
"Eugene? You're just unconscious, right, Eugene? Eugene!"
He... He's dead...
All because of Varian and I...
"Get off the fence! Get off the dang fence!" I heard VD say behind me.
"I don't understand!" I heard Lance.
"We can start and finish wars. We're what killed the dinosaurs. We're the asteroid that's overdue."
"Stop being a jerk!"
"The dinosaurs will turn to dust,"
"What does that mean?!"
"They'll die because we say they must."
There was a gunshot.
I looked behind me to see Lance on the ground. I stood up and took a step towards VD, tears falling down .
"What on earth have you done?!"
"...I worship you. I'd trade my life for yours. We'll make them disappear. We'll plant our garden here..." he said, turning around. He began to walk over to me, "Our love is God. Our love is God. Our love is God. Our love is God." he wrapped his arms around me, his voice becoming louder, "Our love is God."
I felt the gun still in Varian's hand. I feared that he'd do something to me, and so I joined him.
"Our love is God!" I said, tears threatening to fall again.
"Our love is God."
"Our love is God!"
The tears fell.
"Our love is God!"
