Healing Stone
Chapter One: Hello
Eight years had passed since the summer in Nineteen- fifty nine. Everything had changed; Vern Tessio and Teddy Ducamp were gone, not dead, but I never saw them. Gordie Lachance was now married to Sarah. She was six months pregnant with their first son, but they were getting married in three months when the baby was born. Me and Chris were still going on strong. Just two weeks ago myself and Chris had graduated from college and he was now a lawyer and I was a teacher. It was the year sixty-seven and everything had change from the music to the clothes. I never would had guessed what would happen in two hours.
Music danced around my head as my red hair was up in a neatly pressed bun. Sweat came off my brow as I watched couples go up in front of me, holding each other. I wanted to scream I was so nervous. The wooden doors opened as Isabella; my niece stepped in front of me and threw out peach rose petals onto the floor. Going to the rhythm of the music I stepped out. People stood up in union and threw me smiles and some giggles. My white tail dragged slightly behind me as I followed Isabella. My vision was blurred by the protection of my veil. I wanted to cried I was so happy right now, nothing could change that. Beside Chris was Gordie, beside Gordie was Ace, and then Michael; Chris's fellow co-worker and friend. On my side was Sarah, my step-mother, and then Susan' Michael's wife and my best friend. Since my father wasn't alive anymore, my grandfather took my arm into his and led me down the isle.
"These past eight years have been the best of my life, and I would never change it for the world. All the ups and downs we have ever had, and even the times were I stayed up 'til seven in the morning to help you get better when you were sick or down, and I am happy to call you my wife after this day." Chris slipped a golden band with two diamonds and four crystal rubies on the outside onto my finger. I cried as he said those words. The priest motioned for me next. I took a deep breath and smiled at him.
"These p, past eight years had been not the best of my life, but my greatest years. Yes we had our u, ups and downs, yet you were there to pick me up and make it better, everyday I look at the past I always imagine the years we spent together making memories. The day you bought me a dozen roses because it was our two year anniversary, everything. After today I am proud, and happy to call you my husband." I slipped on a single golden band entwined with silver onto his finger. We looked into each others eyes and then the next happiest words left my mouth.
"I do." the priest smiled towards us and closed his book.
"The I now pronounce you man and wife," he looked towards Chris, "you may kiss the bride." Chris lifted up my veil and lend in and kiss my lips softly as rose petals were released from above. Me and Chris laughed as he kissed my lips once again. The priest had left as everyone in the small church left to the after party.
The after party was filled with cries of laughter and cries of happiness as me and Chris danced around, even sharing our first dance with our song, "Stand by me." I knew that would be our song from the beginning. I knew it for some reason. I just knew. The party was almost done as Gordie and Sarah, the last people there left. Me and Chris, afterwards left in our limo to a nice hotel we had reserve rooms at. Our honeymoon. We were not in Castle Rock anymore, we were in Oklahoma, in a little town called Tulsa. It was a dull town with "socs" and "greasers" we never got in the middle, but we were friendly to mostly "greasers." The hotel came into view. I knew what this meant, my step-mom explained it to me already.
Sex.
