Someone Singing Under My Window
'Last night was great!' I thought to myself, thinking of Eomer's little birthday party. 'Nothing like being with old friends and eating chips.'
"EMMA!" I see a flash of green and black hair before I'm picked up and twirled around. I laugh. I could use a hug, though I don't prefer not being picked up off the ground. "Hey Rome," I say as he sets me down.
"Hey your hair is back to all blond," he says disapprovingly.
I nod. "I'm going back natural. It's just me, ya know?"
"Yea," he agrees. "Anyways, oh Saturday was the best day of my life! I owe it all to you! You're the greatest."
"No problem," I nod. "I hardly did anything. It was Elise."
"Is she here?"
"Nope," I answer. "But I have her number if you want to thank her."
"Sure, I'll take it. It was so much fun."
"Being in love IS fun," I say, writing down Elise's number.
"In LOVE?" he acts surprised. "Me? Why would I do something so screwed up as THAT?" he winks at me.
"You're too tough for love aren't you?" I say jokingly.
"Mm, maybe I was but Kali brought the soft side out of me. Well I gotta go to class," he groans, emphasizing his point. "I'll catch you later."
I continue walking down the hall all by myself. Everyone crowds around and bumps into me. I seem to be getting lots of stares today. Maybe because of that magazine cover? I sure hope that's NOT the reason. The less people that read that, the better.
"Attention Emthiel Goldring! The school newspaper is extra excided about you being Greenwing's Snicker's new girlfriend. If you would be so kind as to make your way to Mrs. Luella's office, we'd appreciate it."
Oh nooooo! I seem to be getting tons of stares from everyone in the hall. "Is it true?" one girls asks. "It's so exciting! I KNOW Snicker's girlfriend!"
"Um, actually I don't know you. And two, I'm not going out with Snicker. It's all fake..."
"It's so cool! You're so popular!"
"Is he cuter in real life?"
"What's the best tattoo he has...your opinion?"
"How long have you been dating?"
"Is it true that you met in a bar? Aren't you too young for bars?"
I'm crowded by tons of people with tons of questions. "I can answer your questions," says someone. I turn slowly to see Legolas. He smiles at me. It takes me a moment to get over the shock.
"No, I'll answer everyone's questions. I'm not dating him. I'm dating someone so much better," I say, looking at Legolas.
Legolas leans into me and kisses my cheek. Everyone seems less interested. Most even go back to what they were doing and shake their heads. "I'm gonna kill Leanna for lying to me," snaps one girl to her friend.
"L-Legolas," I stammer. "You're back?"
"Yes, and for good," he says softly. It takes a moment for the words to process. "You're... staying?"
"I told you I would make it possible," He says. I'm so happy I just leap into his arms and squeal. They're so strong and warm, wrapped around me. Tears swell up into my eyes and once they fall, they really fall. He kisses my teary cheek and holds me steady in the middle of all the people. I couldn't really care who saw. Legolas was with me again. For a long time.
That night Arwen comes back as well. We decide to have a sleepover just for us girls. Eowyn, Talim, Arwen, and me all sit on the beds with popcorn and ice cream and talk about girl things.
"I missed Aragorn so much," Arwen says stuffing popcorn in her mouth. "I'm so glad I'm back."
"Yea, we're glad too," says Eowyn. "Crazy stuff has happened! Emma in the magazine..."
"Don't mention that," I say.
"All right, sorry," says Eowyn.
"It's okay," I shrug. "It's just I'm so tired of it."
"Anyways...," Talim says. "Let's talk about our boyfriends."
Legolas POV
"Finally," says Aragorn as we hear the girls mention something about talking about us.
"Oh Eomer!" Talim giggles. "He's so romantic. There was this one time when he brought me a bouquet of daisies with a rose in the middle. And it said: 'to a rose among daisies.'"
"Awww," we all say together.
"I wish that Legolas would do something really special in front of EVERYONE! I'm not sure what, but something!" I say.
"Yea, but what do you expect? They're guys. They get so embarrassed doing stuff in front of their friends," Eowyn says.
"Yea, you're right," I say. "Anyways, is anyone kinda thirsty?"
"Yea, I want a coke," Talim says.
"Yea," Arwen and Eowyn chime in together.
I jump off the bed and feel something hard under my foot. "OW!" I cry, grabbing my right foot. "I stepped on something hard!"
I pull blankets out of my way and then gasp. The guys played a trick on us! There on the floor is one of Eomer's walky-talkies that he brags about, laying on the floor with the on button taped to keep it on!
"Oh my god! Did we say anything embarrassing?" asks Arwen.
"I told everyone about the bouquet thing!" Talim groans like the bouquet thing was such a big deal.
I strip off the tape and hold the button on myself. "You're in big trouble boys!"
"Uh-oh," says someone, either Faramir or Eomer.
The next morning my alarm clock doesn't buzz...but BLARES in my ears. "UGH," I mutter, hitting the snooze. That's when I realize my window is open. "Who opened that?" I mumble, but no one answers.
Then I hear a guitar strumming from outside. It's one of my favorite songs. But it's not the regular version of the song. Some reason this sounds like there is someone playing the guitar outside. I manage to crawl out of my bed and make it to the open window.
Rome is sitting on a box, his guitar in hand as he plays. And next to him is Legolas. I notice that they both are in pajamas! Legolas smiles at me. God he's so cute. Then he starts singing and when an elf sings, let me tell you, it's wonderful to hear. Especially when it's Legolas. :)
"I wanna follow your love, tonight. And I remember when you said everything is gonna be all right. October air reminds me of...all the seasons of your love...and what it was like when we were together..." by the time he's done with the whole song every girl is watching outside their windows and clapping.
"Thank you, thank you. But there IS a point to sitting outside in my pajamas, singing. Even though I may die of embarrassment because my friends will never let me live this down, it's all worth it to make my girl happy. I see you up there, beautiful! I love you, Emma."
All the girls' give an "aw".
"And I'm only here because Legolas paid me twenty bucks!" Rome waves a dollar bill in the air.
"I love you so much, Legolas," I answer, ignoring Rome.
"Good!" he says. "Then will you go out with me tonight?"
"Of course! But we need to get ready for school!"
He winks. "Right. Well, I'll see you later, my air that I breathe! Don't be away too long!"
I laugh. He can be so corny sometimes. But he's still romantic. I AM lucky.
Whoa, that was a very dumb chapter. I'm sorry. If I don't write something I feel bad. But I feel kinda bad for even putting this one up. ANYWAYS, if you have Kazaa, you must download Seasons by Good Charlotte. If you like something soft and cute. Well, I'm out! Till next time!
