Here Be Da Story.
Sitting by the window in his messy bedroom was eighteen year-old Garfield Logan. Today he was trying something new- thinking. It's not something he did often, so when the rare occasion that he thought occurred, it was normally over something pretty serious.
Every day, and every night, Gar had the same happy-go-lucky look. The big cheesy grin that made him, him, today was not present. This day, a remorseful look covered his face, from his eyes to his lips. Even the laugh-lines around his face showed his sadness.
He heard the door creek, but paid no attention to it. "Gar," came a soft voice from the door. Then he heard footsteps approaching him. Yet, he made no care to answer the call. "Gar, she would never have wanted you to be so sad. Maybe if you had sat here sad for a day or maybe even just a week, but no. Gar you have been locked in your room for a month. Is that really what she would have wanted? Where is the Gar we all know and love?"
Gar dropped his head down from looking out the window to staring at the ground, "Raven, thanks for your concern, but please leave. I don't want you to see me like this. Raven, please let me be," Gar pleaded, his voice slowly cracking.
Raven shook her head and pulled a chair up so it was facing him then sat down. "Gar, you are the best thing in my life, my best friend. I have nowhere to go, so don't think that I am going to abandon you just because you don't want me to see you crying. There is nothing anywhere that says crying is a sin."
This garden that I built for you
That you sit in now and yearn
I will never leave it, dear
I could not bear to return
And find it all untended
With the trees all bended low
This garden is our home, dear
And I got nowhere else to go
Gar threw his arms around her neck and balled into her shoulder. "I can't believe mommy is gone! She always held me when I cried; she looked out for me all the time. She kept me safe no matter what, and when I was scared she would always look me in they eye and tell me that she loved me and that the only thing to be feared was God. Rae, I don't know what to do. I feel so lost, so helpless, and so alone. She told me all my crazy dreams would come true and she would be right there with me as they happened. But she is gone," Gar wailed through breaths. Raven had long since wrapped her arms around his back, gently rubbing his back to calm him down.
"It's ok, Gar. I am here for you. Just go ahead and cry all you like, but you realize you are going to have to come out of here. Your mom would never want you to separate yourself from the whole world just because she died." Raven leaned her head on his shoulder and continued rubbing his back. "Do me a favor and feel better, Gar." Then, as she used to see his mother do, she kissed the top of his head and told him he would be all right.
So bring it on
Bring it on
Every little tear
Bring it on
Every useless fear
Bring it on
All your shattered dreams
And I'll scatter them into the sea
Into the sea
Gar felt as though he was a young boy again being cradled in his mother's arms. Though, he was in his girlfriend's arms and he was nearly twenty. Raven was thankful when Gar's breathing slowed down into silence and his tears gradually stopped to just a few. "Gar, I know why your mom loved you so much. You create this light, this invisible love that people desire. When someone is around you it is like there is another presence that just makes anyone feel incredible comfortable around you. You are so willing to help all those people out there who are ordinary, and are searching for something more. But Gar, when you are sad, you aren't the man your mother raised you to be. I don't know what else to tell you, Love. You have got to stop being so sad. Your mom will always be with you in your heart, I know. My mom lives on in my heart as well," Raven explained. She then whispered in his ear, "I love you, Gar. Your mom doesn't want you to be sad for her, but just to remember her and move on."
"I love you too, Rae," he spoke quietly through a trembling voice. "Thank you." He spoke looking up into her eyes. "Thank you for not leaving me even though I asked you to."
The geraniums on your windowsill
The carnations, dear, and the daffodil
Well, they're ordinary flowers
But they long for the light of your touch
And of your trembling will
Ah, you're trembling still
And I am trembling too
To be perfectly honest I don't know
Quite what else to do
"Mm hmm. You know, all your dreams, the ones I don't know, but the ones your mom knew. The ones she said she would stand by with you through. Gar, those dreams are going to come true, and you are going too be amazing." Gar looked into her eyes as more tears rolled down his cold cheeks. "Gar, your dad and I will be with you through everything, I promise. And I will do all I can to help you make your problems disappear. Did you know that you look so cute when you cry?" she questioned trying to make him laugh.
Her sad attempt worked, "You just tried to crack a joke. Nice." He smiled a small smile, yet it was a start.
"You're also very handsome when you smile, Gar." He pulled her closer to himself and kissed her on the lips ever so passionately.
"Thank you so much for sticking by me and making me feel better, Rae. I don't know what I would do without you," he said smiling at her once again and pulling her back into a hug.
"Kerrie Logan raised an amazing young man, you know?" she complimented holding him close to her.
So bring it on
Bring it on
Every neglected dream
Bring it on
Every little scheme
Bring it on
Every little fear
And I'll make them disappear
So bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on
Every little thing
Bring it on
Every tiny fear
Bring it on
Every shattered dream
And I'll scatter them into the sea
