This is a Song-fic, surprisingly. Another H/E from Homer's view...again. Might have Spiolers...yes, I guess it does.

So basically, this is Homer pining for Ellie, who everyone thinks is dead but Homer refuses to believe it. Oh, this is at the time where they group bar Ellie was caught. I do not own Tomorrow when the war began or this song.

O.o

This time, This place

Misused, Mistakes

Too long, Too late

Who was I to make you wait

Just one chance

Just one breath

Just in case there's just one left

'Cause you know,

you know, you know

Everyone thought she was dead, even Lee. When she didn't come back to where we had said to meet, everyone thought she was a goner. Everyone except for me

That I love you

I have loved you all along

And I miss you

Been far away for far too long

I keep dreaming you'll be with me

and you'll never go

Stop breathing if

I don't see you anymore

It was impossible. Surely I would have felt something, like a shot of pain or a jolt of depression because you can't know someone as long as I've known Ellie and not feel something when they died. I shuddered at the thought. It just couldn't happen! She had survived so much; it was laughable at the thought that she couldn't survive a bullet. She was…she was…well she's Ellie! The survivor, the leader, the brains, sneaky, swift, beautiful…where did that come from?

On my knees, I'll ask

Last chance for one last dance

'Cause with you, I'd withstand

All of hell to hold your hand

I'd give it all

I'd give for us

Give anything but I won't give up

'Cause you know,

you know, you know

Do I think Ellie is beautiful? Well she's certainly not ugly, not bad on the eyes either. Actually, she is quite beautiful. Holey crap…do I…like Ellie? So many questions…

I would die to save her, as she would me, I would go to hell and back for her, get her the sun, spend my every waking hour with her…

So far away

Been far away for far too long

So far away

Been far away for far too long

But you know, you know, you know

OK, so maybe I had a little crush on her.

'Good use that will be now…'

Don't think like that, Homer! Ellie is a strong one, she's like a stubborn bull that won't go down with the first three shots and before you can shoot another time it's charging towards you.

Oh how I wanted her to be here now, to hold her and tell her it'll be alright.

I wanted

I wanted you to stay

'Cause I needed

I need to hear you say

That I love you

I have loved you all along

And I forgive you

For being away for far too long

There was always the chance that she didn't like me back too, or maybe loose interest in me as Fi had. That had hurt badly, too badly for my liking, and was just that little bit more hesitant with Ellie because that would hurt ten times more over. I really didn't want to experience that.

So keep breathing

'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore

Believe it

Hold on to me and, never let me go

Keep breathing

'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore

Believe it

But then, maybe she does like me and is just as hesitant, or has lingering feeling towards Lee. The stab of jealously that came next was about as surprising as it was expecting. What was so special about Lee?

Hold on to me and, never let me go

Keep breathing

Hold on to me and, never let me go

Keep breathing

Hold on to me and, never let me go

Well, it looked like I would just have to wait this out. Keep myself breathing as well as the others and when this war did end, I will find Ellie and tell her my feeling for her…maybe.

O.o

Homer and his pride. :)
