Chapter 5 WATCHING THE RAIN AND ….
The apartment I was living in was the worst place ever. It had one bedroom, a small bathroom and a kitchen that hardly worked. I was working at a restaurant. 2 months since I had left London for good. The weather here was a lot worse. I looked at my guitar. I had bought it for the money I earned the first month here. I smiled and sat down in the window. The rain kept on pouring down outside. I started playing on my guitar. I started singing.
Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just trying to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And I know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.
And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand.
Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you see?
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head?
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.
I stopped singing. "CELINA NOEL!" I heard a familiar voice yell. I opened the window and saw Harry standing in the pouring rain. "What are you doing here?" I yelled back at him. "Proving my love as you said" he said. "Come up here you will get sick" I couldn't help but smile a little. "No you get down here" he yelled. "I will get sick I am not really dressed" I laughed. "I'll wait" he smiled his sweet smile. I closed the window. I walked back and forth for a while. I shook my head and pulled on my jacket. I ran down the stairs. He was standing in the rain. He was wearing his favorite jeans and a red t-shirt. The rain was pouring down. "So mister Judd" I smiled a little. "Will you dance with me?" he looked me in the eyes. "Harry people can see us" I blushed. "Are there others than you?" he asked. "Dance with me" he grabbed my hand. Just like that we were dancing in the rain. "I missed you Harry" I sighed. "I am here now and I am not leaving" he said. I could hear the smile on his lips. "Keep me safe Harry, everything is so dark without you" I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I will protect you from everything evil in the world" he looked me in the eyes. "I want to go home" I cuddled up close to him. "Pack your stuff and let's leave" he smiled. I pulled a little out of his grip. "But Harry where are we going?" I asked. Without a word he got down on one knee. "Hopefully to be husband and wife" he looked me in the eyes. I nodded and the tears ran down my cheeks. I fell to my knees and kissed him.
