Big Ones, or Permanent Vacation
Chapter 1 Gazing hard at the moon through her open screen-less window, Erin lost herself. Losing all sense of control she drifted into a daydream at nine o'clock at night. She dreamt of his arms wrapped around her. She thought of tomorrow night when she gets to see him. The vision of him and his beautiful face made her content. The vision made all her waiting worth while. Then she thought of actually getting to spend some time alone with him.
She didn't exactly know what to expect tomorrow. All she was certain of was that she was going to see him for the first time in six months. She thought to herself about how he reminded her of the moon, so out of reach and yet you always want to reach out and touch. Or maybe a shooting star, something so special you want to catch but you can't. Then she couldn't help thinking of how they left each other last time.
"Jeff please don't go! All I want is just one more hour with you." Erin pleaded.
"Sweets you know I would be leaving soon. Come on lets not fight over this." Jeff argued.
"But I want you to stay. I don't like fighting with you, but I miss you and you're not even gone yet!" Erin said in her whiny, pathetic voice that she knew he loved.
Jeff felt like crying, but he stayed strong for her, for both of them. "I have something for you, but you can't open it until I've left. Okay?"
She was on the brink of breaking down and crying. Yet somehow she found the strength in her to refrain. "Fine, but I wish I had something to give you."
"All I want from you is your love," Jeff said cutting her off, "and I know I'll always have that. And you will always have mine." With that Jeff handed her a sealed envelope. "I have to go now. So come here and give me a kiss."
She stepped forward into his arms. Her skin tingled when he ran his fingers gently up the side of her arms. It was then, being in his arms, Erin realized how much she missed him and was going to continue to miss him. She felt the tears forming behind her eyes, and still tried to refrain. Despite this, she reciprocated the sensual touch and her arms around him never wanting to let go.
[I knew that this moment would come in time [That I'd have to let go and watch you fly [I know you're coming back [So why am I dying inside?
Being in his arms, she felt so comfortable and secure like nothing could hurt her ever again. As he started to pull away from her she gripped him even tighter. He looked down at her, and tried to find some words to say but nothing came out. So he leaned in and kissed her. She immediately knew that meant goodbye.
It was her turn to say goodbye before he left and she never got the chance to. She hated good-byes, but it had to be done. She said goodbye to the most important thing in her life. They kissed one final time, and he got into his car. As he started backing out of the driveway, Erin couldn't help but notice the shiny streaks of tear marks on her beloved's face. His tears showed he hated leaving almost as much as she hated him having to leave. They meant that he felt the same pain as her. Off he drove, not too fast and yet not too slow either. Certainly not out of her life Erin hoped.
[Are you searching for words that you can't find? [Trying to hind you emotions but eyes don't lie [Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye
After he left she opened the envelope. Inside she read: My Sweet Erin, God I hate leaving you like this but we both knew this was bound to happen. You mean so much to me. I just can't find the words. I don't even think Webster could. All I know is everyday I am without you; my love for you will grow that much stronger. I will think about you always. If you ever get lonely promise you'll call or at least think of me. If I'm out of the country I will write you and send you my love. I couldn't say goodbye to your face so I'll write it. This is probably the hardest letter I'll ever have to write. Enclosed in this letter is a ring, not an engagement ring but a promise ring. I have the other one. Promise me you'll wait for me until we can be together again. Wear the ring and whenever you get lonely look at it and think of me. I love you. I love you always and forever, Your Jeffrey
Erin looked in the bottom of the envelope and drew out a ring. It was beautiful. On the top the word "promise" was inscribed on it in old English text. She looked on the inside, and the words "I Love You" was inscribed there. She remembered thinking to herself. Yes Jeff, I will wait for you. I will wait until the end of time for you.With that she placed the ring on her finger.
[I'll be standing at the edge of the Earth [Hoping that someday you'll come back again [I'll be standing at the edge of the Earth [Hoping for someday, someday
Chapter 2 "Erin, Earth to Erin," Amanda yelled, and then noticed Erin playing with her ring while she was looking out the window. Amanda knew she was thinking about Jeff. She kind of felt sorry for her. She thought of how much it would hurt to love someone so much and never get to see them. Amanda noticed how Erin tried to hide the tear that just fell down her cheek. Then she answered the phone because Erin was too into her daydream to have heard it. Of course it was for Erin. So once again Amanda tried to break into Erin's voyage of her mind. "Erin, Earth to Erin!!!"
{I'm alone {Yeah I don't know if I can face the night {I'm in tears {And the crying that I do is for you
All of a sudden Erin was pulled away from her land of fantasy and back to reality. Seeming very startled she asked Amanda what was so important that she had to cut her daydream short. Amanda informed her that she had a phone call. Amanda told her that it was a man and he had a very nice voice, but he didn't want Amanda to tell her who it was. As soon as Erin heard that she came fully back from her mind vacation. All she could think about was "I hope its Jeff!" From the bottom of her heart she did. Then she rushed the other room to get her cordless phone and anxiously turned it on. She greeted the caller with an excited "hello." As the caller began to speak, Erin listened acutely. The man on the phone spoke one word. All he said was "hi" and that's all it took. Erin immediately knew it was Jeff. She had longed to talk with him for so long.
{I want your love {Let's break the walls between us {Don't make it tough I'll put away my pride {Enough's enough I've suffered and I've seen the light
"I missed hearing that sweet voice of yours." Jeff told her.
"Geez Mister I don't know if you should say that, my boyfriend would get angry." Erin joked.
"Well we wouldn't want to do that now would we?! Tell me, is your boyfriend strong?" Jeff said playing along.
"Oh mister, you don't know my boyfriend. He's very strong and very handsome." She answered.
"Oh really?"
"Mhmmm, and not only is he handsome but he is so sexy too."
"I don't know, he sounds like a jerk to me."
"And you would you say that?" She asked.
"Oh I don't know?! What kind of a boyfriend leaves his love alone for six months. Especially on a lonely night like this!"
"Well my boyfriend's love is always with me, and that's all I care about." Erin said rather fond way.
"Oh. So you mean to tell me, if you could have him with you right now you wouldn't want him to be?"
"No, I wish I could see him more than anything. I miss him so much."
"He misses you too. He thinks you look so beautiful in that pink shirt." He said with a playful tone in his voice.
"Where are you?" Erin demanded.
"Not telling," Jeff said. "Will you do me a favor Sweets?"
"You know I'd do anything for you."
"Go check your mailbox, Babe." He requested.
"Sure, okay, but I'm bringing you with me." Erin said as she carried the phone outside with her. As she opened her mailbox she didn't know what to expect for Jeff. That was one thing she loved about him, you never knew what he was going to do next. "And what exactly am I looking for?" She asked him. He remained quiet. In her mailbox she found a letter from him. As she opened it, a smile spread across her face instantaneously. Still on the phone with him she read the letter out loud and almost began to cry.
{You're my angel {Come and save me tonight
"Baby don't cry." pleaded Jeff.
"Jeff, where are you?"
"Just keep reading." He told her.
Chapter 3
As she continued to read on, she turned the page to its back and there was a poem he wrote for her. After she was reading it, she looked down at the paper one last time and noticed all the wet spots. She didn't realize while she was reading the poem she started to cry. Just then he told her to smile. He told her that he liked it better when she smiled. He said that her smile was beautiful. She asked him if he understood how she missed him and he remained silent. Then she asked him if he felt the pain too. Again he remained silent. It wasn't until five minutes of silence was up that he told her to go back in the house.
{You're my angel
{Come and make it alright
Again, she obeyed and went straight back to her room. As she walked in, she found Amanda still lying on her bed but this time she was holding a bouquet of red and white long-stem roses. It shocked Erin and she asked where she got the beautiful flowers from. Just then Jeff asked her if she liked them, and she could tell he was doing that cute, mischievous grin which meant he was up to something. She immediately followed the question with the answer of yes. She wondered exactly where he was, because he must be around there somewhere. She looked out her window facing her backyard, but she saw nothing through the darkness. He told her he had one more request of her that night. He asked her to go to the front door.
She walked through her house and stopped in front of her front door. Then she took a deep breath and opened it slowly. She was expecting him to be there with his muscular arms open wide waiting to embrace her. She could almost see his green hair, beautiful eyes and lips in front of her. But when she looked out her screen door nothing was there. No car, nothing out of the ordinary, just her front yard the way it always was. She was shocking and so certain he would have been standing there. She started to cry again not even realizing the phone was still in her hand. Still crying she opened the screen door and went outside to look around. Again she saw nothing, just her normal front yard.
{You're my angel
{Come and save me tonight
Then she lost her control. She started balling. Then she realized she still had the phone in her hands, and she lifted it to her face. She said goodbye, and didn't even wait to hear another sound on the other end.
{Don't know what I'm going to do {About this feeling inside {Yes its true {Loneliness took me for a ride
She ran back in the house. She started screaming for Amanda, and Amanda came running to her side. Amanda had no idea what happened so she was asking Erin what happened. Erin could not stop crying, so Amanda told her she needed to go in her room and lay down. Erin started to calm down and started to head down the hallway to her room. Amanda opened her door for her, and Erin peered into her room.
{Without your love {I'm nothing but a beggar {Without your love {I'm a dog without a bone {What can I do {I'm sleeping in this bed alone
Chapter 4
There he was standing in front of her bed. It startled Erin so much she dropped the phone and didn't bother to pick back up. She stopped crying though. She walked up to him slowly, and stopped just before touching toe to toe with him. He looked down, smiled at her, and placed his hands gently around her neck. With his thumbs, he wiped the tears off her face.
{You're the reason I live {You're the reason I die {You're the reason I give when I break down and cry {Don't need no reason why
She looked him straight in the eyes and said "You asshole!" He just kind of grinned at her not realizing how intense her sincerity was. Not even considering that Amanda was in the room, Erin pulled Jeff down to where she could reach and immediately started to kiss him passionately. She ended up pushing backwards causing him to trip on to her bed. She continued to kiss him until she remembered about Amanda a few minutes later.
Jeff was so surprised by the welcome he just received that he just said, "Well I missed you too." He enclosed Erin in his arms and she did not even try to move. He felt kind of embarrassed by the scene in front of Amanda. But he shook it off because he realized she left the room when it happened.
Erin got off her bed and introduced Jeff to Amanda. She introduced Amanda as "the friend who didn't believe her". Jeff told Amanda he had something for her. Jeff started telling Amanda about how Erin talked about how much she loved Christian. Then he pulled out something out of the bag he had with him, and handed it to Amanda. It was an autographed eight by ten of Christian and it read "To Amanda, my number one fan. I'll love you always. Christian." Amanda started screaming with joy, and then she hugged Jeff and Erin.
"I have something for you too." Jeff said to Erin with beautiful smile as he pulled out a long, thin velvet case. Erin's face lit up as he pulled it out. She took it from his hands and stared at it for a moment. "While aren't you going to open it?" She looked up at him, and smiled. She opened the tiny box delicately. The necklace inside took her breath away, and for once in a long time she was speechless. He had the necklace custom designed. It was a Hardy Boyz logo inside a heart. The logo was outlined with peridots, which were both of their birthstones and the heart was outlined with rubies.
"Oh Jeff, I'm speechless. It's beautiful." Erin said gazing at the necklace.
"It would be even more beautiful around your neck," he said taking the necklace out of the case. He came closer to her and placed it around her neck. He brought his lips almost to the point of touching her ear and whispered "I love you" in her ear. Then he leaned in and kissed her neck with his luscious, seductive lips. After he leaned backwards and said, "happy birthday."
