Next up! Enjoy.


The day seems to go slow and I can't wait to go home and see Sam. I have to admit it was the best feeling to see the demon again; I missed her so much… I snap out of my thoughts to process my photos of 'Scarlet' I go home a few hours later as the sun starts to set. I get to my apartment and look around.

"Sam?" I shout into the empty rooms. I hear moving in the spare room.

"In here, Dorkface!" I walk in to see her changing clothes. She turns to look at me with a grin. I gasp at the sight. She's wearing leopard print leggings with short Jean shorts and a purple long sleeved shirt with a white vest over the top.

"Now I'm back to normal!" she sings. I smile widely at her then snapped out of it.

"Where did you get those clothes?" She smiles sheepishly.

"I left to go shopping…"

"I told you not to leave! What if someone had seen you?!"

"Freddie, I wasn't spotted, no one could even tell I was 'Scarlet'!" She shouted back at me with venom. I was not even in the mood for her, I told her not to do something and she does it anyway. This is so Sam! I walk out of the room and head to the roof, I can hear her shouting after me but I ignore her.

I sit on the roof next to the billboard on the building. I sit here when I need to think. I look at the horizon and see the beautiful colours of a sunset. I hear light footsteps behind me but I don't check.

"It's beautiful up here. It all seems so beautiful. I don't get to see them often, Scarlet's always busy." She tells me softly. I continue to ignore her. An awkward silence ensues. "I'm sorry I didn't listen. I guess old habits die hard."

I turn to look at her. She's resting against the door frame of the roof stairs with her arms crossed across her chest. She looks at me and smiles a sweet smile.

"I really am sorry." I actually believe her this time. The way she's saying it makes me melt.

"Forgiven." I smile at her. She winks at me and I blush.

"This is a sweet place, is this where you hang to think?" She asks. I nod.

"And take photos." She nodded her head. I looked at her again and saw she was wearing my button up shirt and my tux jacket with her blonde curls in a messy up do.

"Do you enjoy taking photos?" she asked still resting against the door.

"Yeah, I love it. I love capturing beautiful things."

"I really missed you, you know? You just took off and didn't say good bye to us." I was caught off guard. Where did this come from?

"I missed you too. So much. But I had to try and start a new life. Like you did." She smiled at me and laughed.

"I guess I can't say anything…"

"What do you love to do?" she looked up at me from the door and stood up straight.

"I adore singing!" She cocked her silky leg in the air behind her. "I love to dance!" She laughed as she spun down from the door frame and danced towards me. I caught her in my arms and looked into those eyes. Those sparkling water eyes that seemed to burn through me. I lowered her body and brought my lips to hers. She kissed back passionately. I pulled away a few minutes later and her breathing was heavy as I trailed light kisses down her neck, she moaned my name.

"Come away with me." I breathed as I pulled her closer to my body. "Come away with me so no one will find you." I heard her breath hitch and she rested her forehead to mine. She closed her eyes.

"I love you." She whispered.

We went back down to my room and made love. I loved her and I wanted her to stay with me. I woke the next morning as she was watching TV. She stopped on the news channel.

"I'm all over the news." She told me. I looked at the screen and saw the anchorman talking, I listened.

"The disappearance of the world's most famous star." "Emotional breakdown" "Gone" those words rang through his mind. He looked at Sam and saw her crying.

"Are you ok Sam?" I asked her with a kiss.

"Yeah, it's just… Look at my fans. I've let so many people down." There was a knock at the door then. I opened it and a gray haired man with a moustache walked in and looked at Sam.

"Scarlet! How could you run away like that? From your fans?" Sam looked at him and scowled.

"I couldn't handle it. All the changes! I couldn't do anything and people demanded everything to be perfect." She shouted. I realised that he was her manager. "How did you find me?"

"Witnesses saw you leave with this man." He pointed at me. Shouting started and I sat on the bed with my head down as her manager told her that her fame and career would be over if she didn't come back tomorrow.

"I don't care about tomorrow." She whispered to him. I looked up at her and hugged her. I kissed her and whispered in her ear.

"It's the right thing to do." I felt tears in my eyes, and I saw her crying too. "They need you. This is your chance for a better life."

"Being with you would be a better life." I shook my head.

"You can't give up because they make it hard for you. You make it what you want it." She nodded her head.

"I'll be there tomorrow…" She told him. He nodded and left and she broke down. "I love you Freddie, but you're right, I need to do this."
