Every Heart
Prologue: Make a wish
Every human is searching for love,
Every soul is searching for a soulmate,
Every prince is searching for his princess,
Every heart is searching for the same
The night sky was full-filled with one hundred and a billion stars. The air was fresh, but not already cold. Birds were still singing.
The 12 years old, dark haired watched his best friend. Her shoulder-length red-blonde hair was blown by the wind. He searched for her face. She cried. He didn't saw her often crying. For sure, when they were younger and fought about a stupid doll or the last cookie, she often cried, but that was normal, after all she was a girl. Not a girly-girl, but a girl.
"Shh…" he whispered softly. "It's okay." He softly touched her shoulder.
"Nothing's okay, Drake…" she washed a tear away. "They…they…I can't believe it!" she stared to yell. He took a deep breath. She needed to calm down, he knew that. She was, well not accountable when she was angry. He was calmer than her. Very mature for his age. He knew that. His parents and grandparents always told him.
"Amber…I'm sad, too. But…"
"But what?" she cut in. "Drake…don't you realize what's happening? They took me away!" she screamed and than…finally broke down. He knelt next to her and hugged her tightly.
"I know." he simply said. He didn't want to realize what's going to happen. His best since they were born was going to leave him.
Just thirty minutes ago they happily watched Aladdin, her all time favourite Disney movie and then…her parents simply told her that she had to go to some stupid boarding-school, like every woman did in her family. Well, they both could've handled it, if that stupid school would be near to his, but no it has to be in Europe! In London!
He felt his on eyes started to fill with tears. No…I can't. He knew he couldn't just cry. Not in front of her. He had to be strong. For both of them.
"You know what? Sometimes I'd like to have a lamp like Aladdin…" she whispered suddenly. He looked confused at her.
She continued. "If I had a lamp with a Genie I just could make a wish…I could wish not to go…"
She looked at him. He beautiful light-brown eyes shinned through the night.
"Yeah. But if you had a Genie you had three wishes…not only one!"
He smiled at her. "Stupid boy!" she lightly punched his shoulder.
He looked at the stars. "You know…" he said suddenly serious, "Wherever you are…you see the same sky as me."
She smiled briefly. "Yeah…"
She leaned her head against his shoulder.
"Drake?" she whispered. He didn't look up. "Yeah?"
"Promise me something…"
"Everything for you."
"Promise…that you'll always be yourself….promise that you'll go your own way…and promise not to forget me."
He softly squeezed her hand. "I promise."
