Author's Note: I have had some horrible writer's block lately. I can't
concentrate on my writing if I'm not alone. Anyway, thanks to chica for
her help. Hope y'all enjoy...
Chapter 47: Memories
Heather was standing by the kitchen table when she heard the front door open, a smile spread across her face as she walked into the living room. Then she saw him, he didn't look too happy, and he had a look in his eye that scared her beyond words. When he spoke his voice was cold, "Heather," He started as he took a step to her and grabbed her arm, "I told you not to make me mad!" He yelled as Heather looked at him as if he was insane. Heather was terrified, she thought that he had changed, she was wrong. Heather tried to break free of his hold that he had on her, but it was no use. "Brock," She gasped as he tightened his firm hold. "Don't talk back to me!" He yelled and slapped her. "Brock, please I'm sorry." Heather begged, not knowing what she had done that pissed him off.
Heather shot up in bed with a yell. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked over at Brock who was still sleeping soundly next to her. She swallowed hard and ran her hands over her hair. She let out a heavy sigh and got out of bed. She walked down to Rayne's bedroom and found her daughter, sleeping soundly in her small bed. She gently touched Rayne's cheek and smiled weakly. She then walked back out of her daughter's room and back to her own. She climbed back into bed next to Brock and nuzzled down under the covers. She sighed and rolled onto her side to face away from him. She hugged herself and soon fell back asleep.
Rae and Amanda were in Rae's room looking through bridal magazines. The guys had gone to the property to meet with the contractor who was to build their respective houses. Rae grumbled and looked at Amanda, "You know, we can't find a dress for her unless she has some input." Amanda nodded in agreement, "This is true." As if on cue, Heather came walking into the room after putting Rayne down for her nap, "Hey guys, whatcha up to?" Rae grinned, and thought quickly, "We're just lookin' for weddin' gowns. Wanna help?" Heather nodded and sat down on the bed with her friends. The three of them started looking through different magazines and catalogs searching for a wedding dress. Rae absent-mindedly changed CDs with her remote and her Lost Prophets CD started playing. Heather and Amanda both rolled their eyes and smirked. Rae flicked Heather on her hand and flicked Amanda's ear, "Don't roll your eyes about my CD. 'Sides I haven't listened to this one in forever." The three friends then started flipping through the magazines again.
Rae's jaw dropped when she saw a gown that she immediately fell in love with, "Oh my God, this is awesome." It was a long, satin gown with a low neckline, but not slutty low, with delicate beadwork tracing the neckline. The straps were about an inch wide and off the shoulder. Amanda looked at Rae's choice gown, "Wow, that's beautiful." Rae grinned, "You think so?" Heather and Amanda both nodded in agreement. Rae marked the page and started flipping through the catalog some more. As they continued looking for the perfect gown, the CD changed to the song, "Last Summer." Rae grinned and turned up the volume, "This song fuckin owns," she said, her voice slightly raised.
The Friday sun bears down again
As we drive with our friends
And on these longest days we spend
All the time trying to pretend
That our stories could be true
Our chance to be cool
The setting sunset says the day is through
If only we knew...
Amanda grinned at Rae, "You realize how much this song makes me think about when we kidnapped the guys?" Rae grinned, "It's a kick ass song." Heather laughed and shook her head.
And we all sit around here in our hometown
Listen to the waves as they all crash down
And watch the fire as it slowly burns away
Glowing embers fly across the sky
Rae smiled, "This is like our fuckin anthem." Heather nodded in agreement, "Friends, hanging out, wishing shit would happen to them, enjoying life." Amanda smiled and nodded, "We should sue," she said laughing. Rae scoffed and fell back onto the bed and started laughing.
Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer
The view from our last summer...
Heather looked at her two friends, "You two realize how much you mean to me?" Rae grinned, "You mean a lot to me too chica, incase you never noticed," she finished playfully batting at her friends arm. Amanda smiled, "I've always thought of you two like a couple more sisters." Rae grinned, "That's how I think of you two." Heather threw her arms around her friends, "I'm glad we started chatting." Rae smirked, "Yeah, uh huh."
We trace the sun across the sky
And we laugh till we cry
Always so hard to say goodbye (good bye)
And we all sit round here in our hometown
It's so good like this, these are times we'll miss
The memories, I hope they'll never fade
Glowing embers lie across the sky
Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view through our last summer
The view from our last summer...
Heather smiled, "That was the most insane thing I've ever done." Rae rolled her eyes, "Oh yeah, Amanda and I just run out and kidnap celebrities all the time." Heather smirked, "You know what I mean." Rae grinned, "Yeah, now I'm psychic." Amanda started laughing, "Rae, you and I have lived more than chica, that's all she's saying." Rae grumbled, "I knew that."
I would stop time to stay with you
I would stop time so we don't move
I would stop time
I would stop time
I would stop time to keep you
Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer
Rae smiled and looked at her friends as the song ended, "I love you guys." The three friends then hugged each other tightly.
