To Sew Up a Heart
Rose let her hand rest on the phone's receiver for a moment before lifting it up. She pressed 1 on speed dial and placed it to her ear. One ring, two rings…click!
"Hello?" a feminine asked.
"Hey Angie it's me Rose."
"Oh, Rose! It's nice to hear from you! How is life treating you in B-Town?" the other girl exclaimed in one breathe.
"Fine, fine I've made many friends but…that's not why I called…" There was a few moments of silence as Rose gathered her wits.
"Y-you have a TV and I was hoping you could give me an update on the war."
"I see…when did this come up?" Angie sounded slightly worried. Rose let out a small sigh moving to sit on her bed.
"I guess it's always been there but it became a major thing yesterday…you know I wouldn't ask you if I didn't need to." There was the sound of a TV turning on in the background and neither spoke while Angie watched. Closing her eyes the pink haired girl leaned back waiting for a report. Finally the noise in the background shut off and Angie spoke once more.
"They're still fighting but it seems both sides are realizing just how useless it is. There is talk of a truce but no one is sure who is going to request for it. Both leaders are stubborn that way," she explained tiredly. Neither girl had the best personality for fighting.
"Thanks Angie, it means a lot," Rose murmured her gaze flowing over her room to the desk. "If you could do one last thing for me I'll never ask ever again!"
"Friends help friends, its what we do!" Rose smiled, standing and moving to the desk. There she absently fingered a stack of milk white stationary tracing the red roses clustered in the corner of each page.
"I need to get the address of a Joe Nethers…"
The blue sky showed no sign of the storm that at torn through the day before, nothing did. Over the night the ground had absorbed the puddles leaving everything dry.
"Perfect day for a picnic," Rose muttered to herself adjusting the basket so it sat farther up her arm. She wore a pair of blue jeans with a starry night shirt over top, the long sleeves keeping the chilly October air out. Her long hair was pulled into two low piggy tails and the ends fell over her chest. Happily she skipped over to Jake's house and knocked one the door.
"Do you want to come for a picnic?" she asked when he answered. He nodded slowly before retreating into the house to get changed. Then she went to Adam's house and repeated the process. He agreed and went back inside to get a blanket they could sit on. Lastly Rose went to Carly's house and bravely knocked. The quite girl opened the door just enough to stick her head out.
"Would you like to come with me and the guys for a picnic?" the pink haired one ask with a soft smile. Carly frowned slightly, biting her bottom lip.
"I don't have anything to bring…" she trailed off startled when Rose giggled.
"I planned everything and have enough for the four of us so don't worry about it. We'd love for you to come!" By now both Adam and Jake were waiting for the girls by the bulletin board. When Carly glanced at them they waved back at her cheerfully and a small smile crossed her lips.
"I-I'd like that…" and with that she stepped out carrying her guitar case. As soon as the door was shut Rose grabbed her hand and motioned for everyone to follow.
"I know the perfect place!"
The place Rose had chosen was perfect! It was on the edge of the first level of the village, just near the cliff. With the sun shining brightly it was possible to see the rest of the village spread out before them and even the crystal blue sea beyond. Rose through open her arms and let the breeze kiss her face and neck. The whole scene was painted with a pallet of oranges, reds, and yellows like each tree was its own soft flame dancing happily from its perch. Turning to face the others she laughed.
"So what do you think?" She put her hands on her hips and tilted her head to the side. Surprisingly the first one to speak was Carly.
"It's beautiful," she breathed eyes wide at the sight.
"Truly amazing!" Jake added.
"I'm hungry," Adam finished up receiving glares from both Carly and Jake but Rose only laughed some more kneeling down on the spread out blanket to get out the food. Without a word Carly bent down beside her and began to help set the food out. They exchanged a look and both of them smiled while the boys looked on. Once the food was spread out the four all sat down to eat, enjoying the sun that bathed them in its soft light. When the food was done they all leaned back their tummies filled with good stuff. Carly opened her guitar case and pulled the instrument out, strumming a few cords.
"Do you know this song Rose?" she asked beginning to play a song. Rose nodded clearing her throat. Opening her mouth she began to sing.
"When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
You're given me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet you're Father?
When you're older you'll understand
What I mean when I say "No
I don't think life is quite that simple."
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
The daily things
That keep us all busy
Are confusing me that's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water
When we're older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so,
And maybe something's are that simple
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
Hold me
What ever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothings like before.
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
Hold me
What ever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothings like before.
Hold me
What ever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Cause nothings like before! (1)
When the song was done everyone was staring at Rose in awe. Blushing she turned to Carly and complemented her on her playing. A bird chirped nearby causing all four friends to turn and stare out across the valley. The fading orange of the setting sun reflected off their eyes.
After saying goodbye Rose returned to her house and flopped down at the desk. Slumping tiredly she closed her eyes briefly to rest them.
Ring!
The phone jumped in its cradle. Perking up she grabbed it and put it to her ear.
"Hello?" she asked cheerfully.
"Hey Rose I got the address you wanted," Angie chirped "It's Valley Village, 123 Seaside Lane 0901(2)." Rose scribbled the address down before thanking Angie and hung up. Silently she re-read the numbers with a sad look before glancing outside. Night time had fallen coating everything in shadows. Yawning she set down the paper and stood. She turned out the light and headed for bed.
