Hey guy, heres a new storry :D hope you like... the beginning is kind of sad but believe me, its gonna get great :D so keep reading and reviewing for more :)
Reggie sat on her bed staring out the window on to the bleak outdoors. The rain beat down on her window seal creating a calming pitter patter throughout the room. The table lamp dimly lit the room creating a cosy feel but Reggie felt cold and alone. She clenched her knees to her chest and burrowed her head in to her thighs. Her purple curs fell perfectly, hiding her tear stained cheeks. Her body was tired but she couldn't sleep. She could barely even eat. In fact she hadn't left her room in days. Her heart had been broken, torn from her chest. But the only person who could fix it was the person who took it away- and he was never coming back.
"Reggie, can I come in hunni?" A soft voice floated through the air but Reggie didn't dare reply. The handle turned and the door opened to reveal Reggie's farther. He made his way to her bed and sat at her feet.
"Reggie, you need to snap out of it Hun. I know how you feel; I've been here with your mum. Staying in your room alone just makes you feel worse, you should be with people who love you and care about you!"
"He loved me. He cared about me." Reggie whispered without even looking up
"I know he did babe, which is why he would want you to move on and get better"
"It's not that easy dad. I'm so empty inside. There's nothing to me anymore. My life revolved around him! But now… there's just nothing" Reggie raised her head to uncover a river of tears flowing from her stinging eyes. Ray pulled his daughter close and held her tight. At that moment he didn't see his eighteen year old, grown up daughter. He saw his baby girl.
"Reggie, you're so young. You have your whole life ahead of you. You need to let him go! It doesn't mean you're forgetting about him; it doesn't mean he was never there! It just means you were strong enough to let go and live the rest of your life to the best it can possibly be. I moved on and fell in love with Noalani and I'm so happy! But that would never have happened if I hadn't allowed myself to move on. I still think about your mother every single day! But now, they're happy thoughts. Instead of making me sad they make me smile. That's what we all want for you Reg! We want you to let go and smile! Who knows what the future holds for you, but you'll never find out if you spend the rest of your life alone in your room" Ray kissed his daughters delicate forehead through tear filled eyes of his own and let her cry in to his shoulder. Reggie began to feel warm as her father laid his head atop of hers. She knew that everything he had just said was right, but she couldn't bear to let go. Somewhere, deep down inside she still wanted to believe it was all a dream and she'd wake up to find everything ok.
"Thank you" Reggie sniffed as she pulled away from her dad to look at him. She wiped her eyes and took a deep breath
"I love you Reg. I don't want to see you hurting. None of us do"
"I love you too dad. I'll be down for dinner" Reggie tried to smile but didn't quite manage it
"Really? That's great Reg. I'll cook your favourite" Ray said before leaving the room. Reggie got up from her bed and walked over to her mirror. She stared in to it so deeply imagining him stood beside her with his arms wrapped around her waist. She smiled at him as he smiled at her. She held out one hand and reached for the figure stood next to her in her reflection but just as she touched him he faded away and she realised she was stood alone.
"Why did you leave me?" She whispered before leaving the room. As she walked down the stairs she saw her friends sat in the living room waiting for her to bless them with her presence. Their sweet, smiling faces turned towards her as she emerged
"Hey Reg, how you feeling?" Twister stood to hug her
"I'm fine" She sniffed as she let him hold her in his embrace
"Nice to have you back Reg" Sam said. Reggie just nodded in reply then left for the kitchen. She saw her dad cooking up a pizza and her brother pouring some drinks. Otto suddenly looked up and his eyes widened as they met Reggie's
"Reg, you're down" He pointed out with surprise
"Yep" Reggie said quietly
"You ok? Do you want anything?" Otto said before throwing his arms around his fragile sister
"Could I have a glass of water?" Reggie said after her brother released her
"Yeah, of course" he ran for the cupboard and grabbed a glass
"Reggie's having dinner with us tonight Otto" Raymundo said turning on the tap for Otto
"Seriously? That's great Reg" Otto handed her the water and watched her down the whole glass
"I think I'm going to get some air" Reggie placed the glass on the table and left through the backdoor. Walking round to the front of the house, Reggie stood for a moment and let the wind whip at her hair. She sat down on the cold curb and watched the sun fall in to the ocean. She kept wondering to herself
Am I ready? Can I let you go?
She needed her mum. She needed someone she could really talk to. She would have spoken with Noalani but she had gone back to Hawaii along with Tito for a family get reunion. Then suddenly Reggie wasn't alone
"Hi, haven't seen you in a while" Lars took a pew next to Reggie but she didn't say anything
"I've been coming round each day to check on how you were" He mentioned
"Really? No one mentioned it" Reggie said as she watched the sun fall even further
"Well I have. I missed Rocket girl and her fun, bubbly personality lighting up where ever she went" He smiled as he shuffled closer to Reggie
"Thank you" Reggie said quietly as she looked at his gentle face
"How are you feeling?"
"Empty, alone… confused" Reggie trailed off
"Can I sing you something?" Lars asked
"What?" Reggie looked at him
"I want to sing you something. The lyrics kind of say what I want to but can't really get across" Reggie could see Lars was sincere and let him sing to her
"So all of your stars have faded away
just try not to worry, you'll see them someday
Just take what you need
And be on your way
Stop crying your heart out" Lars's velvety voice travelled through the air. The lyrics made sense to her and she realised why Lars had wanted to sing it to her. Tears began rolling down her cheeks as she sat and listened.
"I'm sorry, Reg. I didn't mean to upset you. " Lars sat forward and held Reggie in his arms. He comforted her as she silently cried.
"It's ok, you didn't upset me. Thank you" Reggie pulled back and smiled at Lars. It was the first time she had smiled in a long time.
"It's nice to see you smile" Lars said
"I should probably go back inside now, dad might get worried" Reggie stood up and started to walk away
"See you soon- hopefully" Lars smiled. Reggie just looked back at him then disappeared round the back of her house. Lars sighed as he watched the sun fall completely in to the ocean.
"Here Reg, you can sit where ever you want" Ray held out Reggie's plate as she walked through the door
"Thanks" Reggie sat in her usual place next to Otto whilst Sam and Twister sat opposite with Raymundo at the head of the table
"So we were wondering if you wanted to come surfing with us tomorrow, Reg." Twist offered
"That would be nice, Reg" Raymundo added
"Maybe" Reggie smiled faintly as she took a bite of her pizza. She hadn't eaten in days and it felt great to finally have an appetite
"Sammy said there's going to be some great swells tomorrow" Otto said
"Or we could go to Mad Town" Sam suggested
"Whatever, I don't mind" Reggie finished off her pizza quickly and started on the salad
"Ok, cool. We can meet outside at… eleven?" Otto proposed
"Yep, fine" Reg smiled as she stuffed her face with the last of her salad
"Reggie, it's not a race" Ray laughed
"Oh, sorry. What's for pudding?" Reggie asked
"Well Reg you onl-"Ray began before Reggie interrupted
"Ice-cream?" She got up from the table and hurried to the freezer. The boys stared wide eyed as Reggie grabbed a tub of chocolate ice cream from the freezer. She heaved off the lid and smothered the ice-cream in chocolate sauce she found in the cupboard
"Um, Reggie" Ray watched his daughter grab the tub and leave the room
"Thanks for dinner" Reggie shouted back before leaving for her room
"What was all that about?" Otto was the first to break the silence
"Well, she's been through a lot Otto. She's bound to act a little strange until she's back to her normal self" Ray explained
"I guess" Otto shrugged
"I wish the old Reggie Would hurry up and come back" Twister sighed
"We all do Twist, we all do" Ray exhaled
