Fanfic: CHAPTER TEN – “One" (U2) 
 
RICK 
 
It has been a few days, and he hasn’t found the courage to talk with her, to apologize, also she has been doing all in her reach to avoid being in a 100 yards radio near him. Being almost a week receiving orders from Sammy has him so despair and not because she is bad at work, in fact she has improved a lot in the last past months, but is not Lisa. Rick has a slight suspicion that now really everything is ruined and beyond repair. 
 
“Am I an idiot or what?” 
 
Rick has been asking himself that over and over, but without getting a satisfying answer… he hurt his best friend, the only person beside Max, to be right by his side, in good or bad, always carrying him, always with a cup of coffee and a great advise, but now she is gone, and all for what, for the same fiasco. 
 
“Always the same, you run towards her as a dog as soon as she snaps her little fingers, but as soon as she doesn’t need you… welcome to wasteland population you, when I’m going to understand it, now Lisa even changes her shifts to avoid to coincide with mines. It was obvious Hunter, you hurt her woman pride, maybe you were nothing officially, but you wanted to make a fool of her with you silly personal urgent issue excuse and then you go and rubbed in her face that you spent the whole time with Minmei, now who’s the fool.” 
 
His bed is so bid… he is just lying there with the lights off; outside the streets are being covered by snow.  
 
“Great Christmas I’m giving her and also giving me, if I weren’t so selfish, now I would be planning our evening together, maybe a small dinner with the Stearling and Claudia, perhaps opening our presents naked in each others arms, what the hell I’m going to do with her present” 
 
Suddenly he decides to listen the song playing, it is the song why Lisa worships U2, he also likes the band, but that in particular is not his favorite – “Lisa would be probably explaining me that it’s one of the best 5 songs form the 90’s, I remember that occasion she makes me listen it, really listen and understand the lyrics, and I as always immediately related it with Minmei” 
 
 
LISA 
 
She is in front her command station, her body and mind are there concentrating in work, but her soul and heart are touring in her memories. Each moment shared with Rick, treasured, each kiss and caresses, combined with every time he hurt her without even noticed it, the time she wasted because of his indecision, part of her is yelling that its about time to leave him and maybe kick his ass, the other is asking her to fight, she cannot give up so easily – “fight against what, her… against his own heart, he doesn’t love me, and I can force him to, even if a get down on my knees and beg, it’s obvious to whom he will choose”. 
 
She is all alone in the commanding center, all decided to go to get coffee and she is glad to take her mask off for a few seconds. Suddenly a particular memory comes to her mind, that occasion when he asked her why she thinks U2 are reincarnated goods and she just play One and asked him to listen hard to the lyrics – “that’s why” – slowly and very low no higher than a sight she starts to sing it, thinking of how ironic life is, now her favorite song seems to talk about what happened, now the song she usually sings all the time is hurting her beyond imagination, because perfectly describes what he makes her do, without really asking her to. 
 
Both 
 
Rick listens the song and Lisa is singing it, he is lying on his bed wearing civilian clothes, she is in front her stating using her uniform, both are with their sight fixed in nowhere, both remembering that person that has make their lives an emotional rollercoaster.  
 
Is it getting better 
Or do you feel the same 
Will it make it easier on you now  
You got someone to blame 
You say... 
 
One love 
One life 
When it's one need 
In the night 
One love 
We get to share it 
Leaves you baby if you 
Don't care for it 
 
Did I disappoint you 
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth 
You act like you never had love 
And you want me to go without 
Well it's... 
 
Too late 
Tonight 
To drag the past out into the light 
We're one, but we're not the same 
We get to 
 
Carry each other 
Carry each other 
One... 
 
Have you come here for forgiveness 
Have you come to raise the dead 
Have you come here to play Jesus 
To the lepers in your head 
 
Did I ask too much 
More than a lot 
You gave me nothing 
Now it's all I got 
We're one 
But we're not the same 
Well we 
Hurt each other 
Then we do it again 
 
You say 
Love is a temple 
Love a higher law 
Love is a temple 
Love the higher law 
You ask me to enter 
But then you make me crawl 
And I can't be holding on 
To what you got 
When all you got is hurt 
 
One love 
One blood 
One life 
You got to do what you should 
One life 
With each other 
Sisters 
Brothers 
One life 
But we're not the same 
We get to Carry each other 
 
Carry each other 
One...life

“I’m doing to Lisa exactly what Minme has been doing to me for so long. I asked her to come in and them… God Lisa, I’m sorry” – he cannot continue lying there thinking, he stands up and go to the kitchen, turns the TV on to try to distract himself while fixes something to eat – “we are not the same, so are so much better than me, yeah we are not the same, but being so different complete us” – a news about Minmei takes him out his thoughts, almost at the same time his doorbell rings…
