(A/N: I'm going to fucking run this band into the ground!)

Vinyl stared at the scenery of Manehattan below her. In the glass was reflected her stained eyes. The small pitter patter of rain was the only sound in the dark apartment as Vinyl sat.

Octavia walked through the streets of Manehattan, dejectedly as the rain soaked her steel black mane.

They both sighed as they looked upon the rain

Vinyl slowly walked over to a cupboard. Her whole body felt heavy as she opened it and pulled out a picture. Clutching it to her chest she made her way over to the windowsill. This time, her eyes on the picture.

And we believed her then oh

The rain hid her tears as Octavia walked, the merciless rain beat down on her, freezing her to the bone. She didn't care though, the ice in her heart kept her from feeling the chill of her body. Walking, she limped into an alleyway and leaned against the wall.

And we believed her then oh

Vinyl stared at the picture of a smiling Octavia, the glare of the sun reflected in the picture seemed to make her even more breathtaking. She closed her eyes and hugged it, wishing desperately that the pony in the picture was the pony in her arms.

And we believed her then oh

Octavia couldn't help it. She couldn't help herself. She unconsciously found herself making her way to the apartment. She kept her dead down because of the rain, and because of the shame. She walked onwards until she found herself looking up into the window of...Vinyl's apartment. Her eyes widened as she found herself gazing at the one pony whom she hadn't wanted to see.

And the one pony she wanted the most.

And now, outside. You see the waves in her eyes.

Vinyl chuckled slightly, still gazing at the picture. "I guess...it never would have worked anyway. She was...she was destined for greater things...who am I to hold her back?" With her voice cracking, she recited these words inside her head and her spoke them aloud. If all for the purpose of making the pain go away.

And I. I won't mind what you decide to swear by.

"I...I can't see her. I...I can't...I." Octavia found herself mumbling. Both rain and tears blocking her vision, clouding it as pain made it's way into her heart. She longed to see her, to run inside and hug her and hold her and tell her everything was alright.

And now, outside. You see the waves in her eyes.

Vinyl took a deep breath to clear her mind. It was no good dwelling on the past. "She's moved on to better things. I know it. And...I'll be happy for her. I mean it's her life. Not mine." She told herself as she moved away from the window and on to the couch.

And I, I won't mind. What you decide to swear by.

[Interlude]

Octavia took a deep breath. It was now or never. She walked up to the door and opened it. Taking a deep breath before starting to walk up the stairs.

Vinyl took a deep breath and donned her rain coat. "Might as well head out and get drunk." She muttered sardonically as she took the fire escape. She walked down and took the ladder, hoisting it back up before walking a couple blocks. She smiled as the pitter patter of the rain and it's feel against her coat. Turning her head skyward she cracked a smile. "Least the weather's got the right idea." She muttered sarcastically.

And now, outside. I see your eyes meet the sky.

"..V-Vinyl! Vinyl are you home?" Octavia began to worry as greeted her. She began tearing up as she slid against the door. "Look...I know...I know things were said..but...I...I would never leave you! Even if I get the honor to play for the princess herself! If it meant leaving you....I'd turn it down in a heartbeat! So please! Vinyl! Open up!" She was full fledged panicking now as she slumped against the door sobbing hysterically.

"Uh...miss? Vinyl left only a couple minutes before ya got here. My guess is she'll be at the cafe." A nearby neighbor helped Octavia to her hooves and pointed her in the direction. She thanked him as she raced out.

And I. I don't mind. What you decide to swear by.

Vinyl continued to stare at the sky for a few moments. The rain openly covering and dripping down her face as the clouds blocking the sun turned the world gray. It was here, that the memories she had been so desperately suppressing finally broke the dam. And she began silently crying as she walked off. "I was so happy with her....was she really not that happy with me?" She finally spoke what had been on her mind.

And now, outside. I see your eyes meet the sky.

She quickly approached the cafe and found an empty seat, taking a seat on the high stool, she laid her head against the wood and let herself cry.

Octavia raced through the nearly abandoned streets, more than once slipping and smacking her head as well as other body parts. She was covered in mud, bruises, and her legs and fetlocks ached from the running. But she kept it up. And in a few minutes, she saw the lights coming from the cafe. The cafe the two of them used to frequent together. As she raced to the window, she saw, sitting on a stool with her head between her hooves was Vinyl. She knocked against the glass, starting the alabaster mare from her reverie.

And their eyes met.

And I. I won't lie. I kept you here tonight.

Vinyl saw Octavia, her eyes were puffy and swollen. Her face was cut and bleeding. Her once perfectly coifed mane was now in ruin with mud covering and binding patches of hair together. But still she was transfixed on her as she mouthed one word. "I'm sorry." She kept repeating it, and despite the rain, Vinyl could see Octavia's tears welling up behind those bloodshot eyes.

And I believed her then oh.

Vinyl ran out and threw her rain coat around the grey mare. Octavia began shuddering as the sudden warmth reminded her body of the lack of heat. Turning, she faced the smiling face of Vinyl as she embraced her.

And I believed her then oh.

"Why? Why? How can you forgive me so easily? How?" Cried Octavia as she clung to Vinyl.

And I believed her then oh.

"Because I love you. And I believed you then as I believed you know." She replied. Octavia only cried harder.

And I believed her then oh.
