I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives would never be the same
You held your head like a hero on a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age
Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
"Andre is sick. He needs a new heart,"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Andre had left to go to New York in search of a new heart. He went for test and to be put on the list. He had wanted me to go with him. I would have if I had known. Wouldn't I? Maybe that's why he didn't tell me. He wanted me to go on my own terms and not because he was sick. I loved him though. I would have gone. I still love him.
"ROSE!"
I heard Dimitri's voice and turned around. He was out of breath. I didn't even realize that I had just left him in the apartment. He was sweating. He looked worried and scared. Why did he look worried?
"Why do you look worried?" I asked.
"You just ran off. I thought the worst. I was worried about you," he said.
"Who called?"
I questioned. He had erased who had called. If it had been Christian or Andre to talk to me then I would have been really upset. He had no right in keeping me from talking to them. Especially when he didn't know what was going on. Jealously is overrated right now. Even though I have my moments.
"Your dad," he said with a questioning hint to it. Probably wondering why I was asking. I sighed in relief. He wasn't keeping me from them.
"He's sick," I started to cry even more and ran into his arms. He just held me.
"Who is sick?"
"Andre," I heard Lissa say. "He needs a new heart. He has a cardiovascular disease and it's getting worse. They haven't been able to find a match,"
I just cried even harder every time they talked about it and Dimitri just held on to me as close as possible. He understood.
"Do you remember when you one homecoming Queen?" my best friend asked out of nowhere and began telling the story as we all sat patiently waiting for the doctor to come talk to us.
"And the Homecoming Queen is… Rosemarie Hathway? Wait the can't be right she is only a sophomore," the principal was looking at the card completely dumfound.
Andre just simply walked over to me though and took my hand into his. "King and Queen now shall share the first slow dance of the evening," the speaker said.
I smiled up at him and laughed. I shook my head cause he had this look on his face as if he had been up to no good. "I rigid the votes. Just so I could dance with you,"
I shook my head. For months I told him that I wasn't going to dance with him at the dance. He didn't believe me. He kept saying how it was going to happen and he would make it happen.
We all started to laugh. Even Dimitri. He knew about me and Andre. I had told him all about my past the one night we got locked inside Target together.
I said remember this feeling
I pass the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming this is absurd
Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world
"This has been on of the most amazing nights of my life," I admitted to my boyfriend of 5 months.
He had step up and tent for us in Target. We had been fooling around and not realized it was closing time and we locked in until someone came around to open or check on the store. So, there we were laying in sleeping bags in a huge tent in the middle of Target eating Zebra Cakes.
"Have you ever been in love before?"
The question came out of nowhere, but I nodded my head yes. Then asked him the same question. That's when he took out a picture of a girl with a baby in her arms.
"They died," he simply said. I nodded my head as I moved over to his sleeping bag cuddling up against him.
"How?" he knew that question was going to follow.
"They were shot. Who were you in love with?"
"Andre. Andre Dragomir. He is Lissa's older brother. We were on and off forever. He asked me to marry him and I said yes. We ended up going separate ways though and my path ended up running straight into you," I said smiling at him giving him a kiss on the nose.
"She was my daughter. I loved both of them with everything I had. Tasha and her went shopping it was my baby's birthday. That's how Tasha got her scar."
"Is it the people that you hangout with?" I knew that he hung out with bad people, but I didn't realize how bad until this moment.
"There is a lot you don't know Rose,"
"I can handle it,"
He just stayed quiet and held me in his arms. I felt like I was the queen right now. The Queen of Target. I laughed to myself and broke out into hysterics.
"What?" he asked puzzled.
"We are the King and Queen of Target," I laughed getting up and pulling him up too. "This is our land. It is sacred and anything shared shall stay here."
He finally let out a smile and kissed me. "You are amazing."
Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live that look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
We were all talking, mostly Lissa and me sharing memories of our favorite moments especially with Andre. At some point though I had fallen asleep in Dimitri's lap. I woke up when he was shifting. He gave me apologetic smile and told me to go back to sleep. That's when the doctor came out.
"He needs a new heart or he isn't going to last,"
This time I held myself together as Lissa rushed over into my arms. I just wanted to go home. I just wanted Dimitri to tell me that everything was going to be all right. That he was going to be okay.
I pushed Lissa away into Christian's arms as I walked out of the hospital. I could feel Dimitri following me. I ended up in the chapel; so technically, I didn't actually walk out of the hospital. He sat down next to me in complete silence. It felt nice. He knew me so well, when I wanted to talk and when I didn't.
After what seemed like hours, but what was actually a few minutes Dimitri spoke up. "I know a way we can get him a heart,"
"Long Live Andre," I joked. Though by the look on my fiancé face he was quite serious.
