The pronunciation of "Rachael" is said as "Rachel" but it is spelled differently. MAKE SURE YOU SAY IT RIGHT.

True Love Lasts Forever . . . Literally
Sunrise
I sit there gazing out the window, knowing today was the day. It was all going to happen, today. I check the clock on this cloudy morning; it's only 5:15am. The sunrise has begun, so I sit there waiting impatiently. I think about their new lives together, and how happy they make each other. Rachael and Edward are perfect for each other. I never though perfect was possible, but when you describe perfect as "Rachael and Edward", it works so . . . perfect.
Today, March 21st, is the wedding day of the two perfect people together. Spring is here, and has made the flowers come alive, just like Rachael and Edward's love for each other.
I smile and open my window. I ripped out the screen a while ago after having to open it every time I wanted to go outside. I pull myself through the window and onto the roof outside my room. I sit down and look up at the sky, which is holding the waning crescent moon in place, with twinkling stars floating around it. I close my eyes and lean back. As I lean back, I feel a warm hand rest on my shoulder. I open my left eye to the direction where the hand was coming from. It was Jacob.
Jacob, my one true love. I sit back up, and open both my eyes. Jacob smiles at me and I can't resist a smile back. He puts his arm over my shoulder.
"Morning." Jacob says sweetly, kissing my forehead. His warm lips hit my cold forehead, but we're used to it.
"Morning!" I say leaning my head on his shoulder. His body heat seeps through his clothes and onto my skin. It's so warm, on a morning like this.
In my world, things are different. For me, life is full of tons of species. Not just, the African American and white dude crap, it's full of werewolves . . . and vampires. I'm a vampire. Jacob is a werewolf. We had such strong love, that it brought us together forgetting our immortal life. Only focusing on one another. I know that isn't normal, but to me, it feels right. The Cullen's have adjusted to the vampire-werewolf thing, and so have all the werewolves. Life for us is different—the way I like it.
I smile and close my eyes again. Jacob then begins to rub my back, and he rests his head on mine. Jacobs' cold cheek sits on my forehead, feeling like fire sitting on ice but not melting.
"Want to call Rachael and congratulate her?" Jacob asks.
"Nah. She's probably sleeping still. She has a big day ahead of her, and I wouldn't want her to be cranky. Rachael and cranky equals a hell of a lot to deal with." I joke.
Jacob and I laugh a little, then both look up into the morning sky.
The clouds sit in the sky so peacefully. The moon rests there in the slight side angle and I smile, always loving a crescent moon. I can see from the corner of my eye that Jacob is looking at me, I know what he wants. I look at Jacob, pause, then nod my head. He hops back into my room and I hear a big 'plop' on my day bed.
I made Jacob go to sleep really early last night so he would wake up earlier this morning. Only because, the last few days have been hectic, and I'm sure the couple of days will be as well. I told him to wake up early so we could be together for a little bit before the crazy schedule of the day will begin.
I smile at the fact that Jacob listened, but since he's a werewolf, he asked to go back to sleep. I smile thinking about him. I think about how much my life has changed ever since Jasper bit me when I was in 12th grade. How much my life has changed since I've been Jacob's girlfriend. How much he's changed me. I'm now the only vampire that eats food, that isn't human. I eat everything werewolves do. I know it isn't natural for a vampire, but to me it is.
I lean back and lay out flat. I close my eyes and relax, wishing I could sleep. I never get tired, but I feel as though I need to have my own time, sleeping. I miss being able to dream.
Today is Rachael's day, Edward's day. It's their time and moment to feel as special as ever, I think to myself as I adjust my back in a comfortable position.
I open my eyes again and stare up into the sky. It's gotten lighter out so I'm sure the sun is just above to rise. I have always loved the sunrises and sunsets, the stormy evenings, to the clear starry nights. I continue to relax. I lay there on the roof for at least two hours because that's when I hear my phone ring.
"Take me with you, I'd start to miss you. Take me home, I don't wanna be alone tonight." Mariana's Trench begins to play the song Cross My Heart. I hop back inside in my room and grab my phone before it rings anymore.
It's Rachael, so I pick up, "Hey!"
"Hey, Malz!" Rachael says happily.
"Congrats! Today is finally here!" I say to her smiling.
"Yup! I'm so excited! But I'm a tad nervous."
"Why be nervous? You know you're with someone who you truly adore, so why worry? It will all go perfect." I say trying to comfort her.
"Thanks, Malz. That's true,"
I cut Rachael off before she can say anymore, "Want me to come over to help you with anything?"
"Yes!" Rachael responds quickly before I can finish asking.
"I'll be over in about a minute." I say.
Rachael hangs up and I leave a note on a blue post-it note for Jacob to tell him where I'm going. I immediately run to Rachael's house and I hop in her window.
"Thank goodness you're here!" Rachael says hugging me tight.
I smile not knowing how to reply. I sit down on Rachael's bed, and so does Rachael. "So . . ." I try to think of what to say next.
I look at Rachael, "Wanna watch the sunset?"
"Of course!" Rachael says popping up from her seat to sit on the bench in front of her window. I sit to the left of Rachael.
"The sky is so beautiful," I say. Rachael leans her head on my shoulder. Her wavy brown hair rests there like the rest of her body, relaxing. I continue to look out the window at the sky; the purple, blue, yellow, and pink blend together on the horizon line. I smile.
"When is it not," Rachael says, I can feel her smile.
