Greyhound Bound for Nowhere

Lauren never knew that I kept paying the lease on my old apartment.
She would never accept the fact that that apartment was the only part of my old self I had left.

Chapter 4

Sydney POV

A week in Dallas and I'm starting to get my life back together.
I moved in with a girl named Rachel.
She's younger than me, but we have a lot in common.

I have almost been able to forget about Vaughn.
I rarely think of him in the day.
But it's my dreams that haunt me.

Last night I dreamed he had come to find me.
I almost believed it for a minute or two

If I see you on the street and start to cry
If it loks like I'm so lonesome I might die
If you can hear my heart just breakin' right in two
Remind me once again who left who

I've had two guys ask me out this week.
Rachel begged me to say 'yes' to one of them but I'm just not ready.
I guess I still have a certain green eyed man on my mind.

I walk in my new apartment with 2 grocery bags.
I'm alone. I seem to find myself alone a lot these days.

I put away my newly purchased groceries and collapse on my new queen-sized bed.
Laying in the silence, my thoughts consume me.

I keep forgetting
That I don't need you now
It slips my mind that I'm the one
Who said we were through
I just can't seem to remember
It was me who walked out the door
I keep forgetting I don't love you anymore

I look out my bedroom window and see our neighbor, who oddly enough is named Michael, playing with his dog.

He is one of the two that asked me out.
Being with him, though, would remind me too much of Vaughn.
And that wouldn't be fair to him.

He notices me staring and waves.
I wave back and roll over so he doesn't get the wrong idea.

If your phone should ring in the middle of the night
If missin' you's a feeling' I can no longer fight
If I beg you please just give me one more try
Remind me I'm the one who said goodbye

I've picked up the phone and dialed his number so many times.
But I can never make myself wait for him to answer.

The thought of him answering and telling me what I want to hear gives me butterflies.
The fact of the matter is that, he is probably at home with Lauren.
I can't bare the thought of her answering my call.

I push the thoughts of him from my mind as I hear Rachel enter the apartment.

"Sydney!" She yells out to me.

"Yeah?" I ask walking to meet her in the kitchen.

"There is some mail for you. My hands were full so I dropped it by the door."

"Thanks."

I pick up the letter addressed in Weiss' handwriting.
We had become great friends after everything that happened.
He is the only person I told that I was leaving and where I was going.

I keep forgetting
That I don't need you now
It slips my mind that I'm the one
Who said we were through
I just can't seem to remember
It was me who walked out the door
I keep forgetting I don't love you anymore

The words on the page are barely ledgible but I read through them easily.
My eyes stop dead when I see his name.

"I wanted to tell you something you may already know.
Lauren ended it, and Vaughn moved out. Syd, I think he's gonna try to find you."

I dropped the letter to the floor, my heart nearly beating out of my chest.

He's coming for me.
I can't decide if that's a good thing or not.

Chapter 5

Vaughn POV

I ran to the first person I saw in the station.
"Excuse me, miss?" I said to the only attendant working at 12:30 P.M.

"How may I help you, sir?" She said wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"My.. well.. I need to find this person. She left on a bus today at around 7. Is there any way I could find out where she went?"

"Sir, 4 buses leave each hour. Unless you have anymore information on her, I don't think I'll be able to help you."

"Information like what?" I asked desperately.

"Like a name, phone number, or social security number."

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
Like I've never felt with anyone else

"Her name is Sydney Bristow."
She started typing on her computer.

"Sydney with and i or y?" She asked never moving her eyes from the computer screen.

"With a y. S-y-d-n-e-y B-r-i-s-t-o-w."

She typed in the name and waited while the computer searched the database.
"It seems she went to... Dallas, Texas."

"Thank you so much." I said nearly going weak in the knees.

"Would you like a ticket?" She said after several minutes of silence.

"Oh. Yeah, of course."

"Your bus leaves at 2: 30 on next Friday."
She handed me my ticket and my credit card.
"Thank you, sir."

I wanna give back what you've given to me
And I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more than just your man

I began to walk away when my mind finally registered what I'd heard.
"I'm sorry." I said stepping back up to the window. "Did you say next Friday?"

"Yes, sir. Next Friday at 2:30."

"But that's almost 2 weeks!" I said dropping my head into my hands.
"I can't wait that long."

"Sir, I don't want to get in the middle of your business, but if this girl left without telling you, she may need a little time to get accustomed to where she is."

"I guess you're right. Thanks. I'll see you next Friday."

"Goodnight, sir."

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...

"Night."

I walked slowly out of the station and to my car.
2 weeks.
At least I'll have enough time to get everything straightened out.

I actually drove below the speed limit on the way home.
I wasn't exactly excited about getting home.

I walked into the apartment and collapsed on my bed.
Sleep overtook me quickly.
When I woke up the next morning, I was still dressed in my suit from the day before.

That's when I realized I was late for work.
I decided that today I would quit the job I had been at for so long.

I walked into the rotunda for the last time at exactly 11 o'clock.
I was approximately 4 hours late so, needless to say I was attacked just as I entered the door.

"Mike, where've you been?" Eric asked slapping me on the back.

"Nowhere. I just overslept."

"Oh, well, do you know where Syd is? She didn't show up for work today. Neither did Lauren actually."

"I really don't want to talk right now, Weiss." I walked into the director's office.

"Nice to finally see you, Agent Vaughn." Kendall said standing from his desk.

"Sorry, sir. I'm really only planning on being here for a little while." He looked at me strangely so I continued. "I'm giving you a week's notice. I'm quitting."

"I can't say I'm happy to hear that, but it seems as though your mind is made up. It was nice working with you." He shook my hand and I left the office.

Two weeks went by before I knew it.
I explained everything to Weiss and he agreed to watch over my apartment and dog.

I packed a duffle bag.
I had no idea how long I would be there.
Or how long it would take to find her.

I arrived at the station promptly and saw the attendant from 2 weeks before.

"Hi." I said handing her my ticket.

"Hello, sir. Your bus leaves in 10 minutes. Good luck." She said handing my ticket stub to me.

"Thanks. I'll need it."

When you wake up, I'll be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out for me
I'll cherish your words and I'll finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass baby, when you get lost

I fell asleep quickly and when I woke up, we were pulling into the Dallas station.

I had no idea how I would find her, but I knew I wouldn't quit looking until I did.

I rented a car and drove to a nearby hot spot and to connect to the internet.
I remembered something Weiss had shown me once.
It was an online phonebook. All you had to do was type in the name and city, and a phone number and address pop up.

It's kind of a scary thought that someone can get your address that easily.

I typed in her name and the city, and moments later her address flashed up on the screen.
Apparently she was staying in an apartment complex on the other side of town.

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...

I closed my computer and rushed outside.
I hopped into the black Mitsubishi I rented near the station.

After 2 hours of searching, I turned on Stonehedge Avenue and saw a sheek, high-class apartment complex.
I pulled up to the front office and saw a young woman inside.

"Can you tell me which apartment Sydney Bristow is in?"

"Name." She said popping her gum.

"Michael Vaughn. Why do you need my name?"

"I'm sorry, but you aren't on the accepted visitor list. We'll have to call her for her approval."

Moments later, a tall, slender blonde walked in.

"Hey, Abby. I'm just looking for my bag. I left it when I came to get my mail."

"It's in the back. I'll just go get it." Abby walked out of the room, leaving me alone with the tall blonde.

"Hi." She said smiling widely.

"Hey. Can I ask you a question?" I said quietly.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Do you, by any chance, know where Sydney Bristow lives?" I asked hoping above all hope she knew of her.

"Yes, actually I do. She's my room mate. How do you know her?"

"It's a really long story. I knew her in L.A.. I just really need to see her." I paused looking into her eyes. "I'm Michael Vaughn by the way."

"Rachel Gibson. You two must have been really good friends." She said smiling at me.

"You could say that, I guess."

"It's room number 34. You can follow me when I leave here if you want."

Abby returned with the bag as I walked outside.
Rachel joined me outside, and I followed her down the winding path to the apartment."
She parked beside a silver BMW, which I assumed belonged to Sydney.
She showed me where to park and led me inside.

"Syd! There's someone here to see you."

Be the wheels that never rust
And the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...
I wanna be your everything
