So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
I'm sitting on the bench in front of his house, OUR house.
'Dear Rose,
WHEN THE HELL ARE YOU PLANNING TO BE BACK? Scorp is a wreck, Lorcan has sworn he'll kill you for killing his fun nights, Lysander has to keep us all going, I cry at least once a week all my feelings out by him, your parents (and the rest) think you'll be back with Christmas and Hugo is getting suspicious.
GET THE BLOODY FUCK BACK!
Love, Lily'
Shit. I'm crying. I furiously wipe a tear away and pull another letter out of my bag. Where is that thing? Aha!
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?"
'Rose.
Last night we told your parents you're dead.
Yeah, dead. And that happened while you were bungeejumping above the sea, and your body's disappeared in the current.
Your mom was crying so hard...
Please Rosie, come back!
Love Lil'
I'm dead. I don't exist anymore. But yet I'm here, on the bench.
Where is he? Is he out again? Is... I-is he over me already?
No he isn't. I remember yesterday night.
Oh, good. There he is. He looks like crap, but still godlike. What is he up to since I'm gone? Maybe I should follow him... No, not like stalk him, just... Extremely intense investigation.
If I could then I would
I'd go wherever you will go
Way up high, or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
He took the bus. The BUS! Why can't he just disapparate? Anyway, I'm in some kind of shabby pub.
"Scorpius Malfoy! Long time no see mate!"
Is that Ben Finnegan?
"Sorry Ben, but I decided to change my life. For the better."
"For Rose you mean."
Wait! What does he know about me?
"What do you know?" Scorp demands.
Go Scorpie!
"Well, Lily told Angie,"
Lily told Angie? OMG, NO!
"That Rose left to a muggle marine base, and will only come back if you've changed your lifestyle."
But... I'm 'dead'. Right?
Scorp looks on the verge of tears. See, I'm 'dead'! Wait, wait, wait! Scorp is in the conspiracy, right?
"S-s-she died... But, that doesn't mean I'll party again. I like this lifestyle better, and besides, I don't want to upset her, even if she's dead."
Aww, what a cutie.
And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
And here I am, sitting on a bench. That small detail is probably boring you, but it shouldn't. 'Cause here, on this very bench, are our names engraved. I should've told you this sooner, shouldn't I? Ah whatever.
You're probably thinking why I left, and why I chose to come back now.
And I'll tell you: He was going out every night, and no one said something of it. I tried putting a big smile on my face, but that didn't work. I tried to stop him. He wouldn't. So I had enough of it, really. I asked my boss if I could work at another country. That's a plus of working at a multinational. Anyway, my boss is also a kind of friend, so when I told him that I didn't like anyone to know where I'd run off to, he said he 'would rather kiss a toad then tell anyone!' And then he began about if it would really work if he kissed a frog, 'cause he 'could use his own prince'. Yeah, he's gay.
Anyway, I'm fired there, because I'm working too hard. Yeah, my new boss is a total bitch. Anyway, I'll just continue my extremely intense investigation (EII).
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
"Hey Rosie, fancy seeing you here."
LORCAN? Lorcan of all people sees me? I've an announcement to make in that case: I love you Scorp!
What? If Lorcan does something smart, the apocalypse is just a few seconds away.
"Lorcieeeeeee!" I screech, pretending nothing's ever happened. Well, except it has of course, but let's be honest: Lorcan is stupid.
"You know, you changed him. I probably should murder you now, you know, Ben Finnegan isn't as fun as Scorp when it comes to clubbing. But, he seems happier. Except for the fact you left and he's a bit down, or as your mother puts it, in a 'bottomless depression', but hey, she always exaggerates."
Lorcan is being SMART and DEEP? And makes a FUNNY joke? What the hell happened without me?
"You know Rosie, you were a lot faster in comprehending before you decided to leave us all in a big fucking mess."
"Logan… You're smart." Yeah… what a genius mind I have.
"Well, I was sorted in Ravenclaw for a reason…"
"Oops, I'm sorry, it's just that-"
"You never expected it." He finished my sentence. I reluctantly nod, I mean, I don't want to offend him, but Rose Weasley doesn't lie.
"Haha, no offence taken Rosie. Anyway, want to go inside? See how your house looks at the moment? I have to warn you: it is kind of a mess…"
Do I want to go inside? HELL YES!
"Thanks Lorc, I owe you."
"I'll keep that in mind." He says, giving me a creepy smile. Oh, save me!
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
We've reached the door. So now I'm hiding behind the garbage bin. Yeah, I know, best hiding place out here.
14:53
Lorcan rings the bell
14:56
Scorp opens the door.
Lorcan: "Hey mate, I was in the hood and stuff, wait, I'm coming in, anyway, have you heard about Finnegan and Wood already? Apperently, Angie has threatened him into stop clubbing, by saying she'll do a Rose. Can you believe it? She has made history! I'm sure in three generations, there'll be a saying about doing the Rose."
14:58
Scorp sulks and goes to the living room. Lorcan follows him, 'not bothering to close the door. I leave my hiding place.
14:59
I sneak into the house, closing the door softly. Following the dudes.
15:00
Scorp: "Rose?"
15:01
BUSTED.
What? You didn't like the logbook version?
SUCKER. Wait, wait, I didn't mean that! HEY YOU, DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE, I'VE GOT MY LIFE STORE TO TELL!
Anyway, Scorp looks like he's seen a ghost. Wait, I don't look that bad, do I? I almost reach for my mirror, but decide against it. I mean, I'm back now, aren't I?
"Rose? You're back?" We walk to each other unsurely.
"Never been away." I whisper. I'm crying. What the fuck? Well, it is our first encounter since that night, a half year ago…
"Scorp?" I ask, as he stumbles into the hall. He looks sexy, even though it I 4 a.m. and he's drunk. Bloody fucker.
"Rosieeeeee?" he slurs.
"I'm leaving."
Then I leave. It's not like he'll remember this tomorrow, so I left a note on the bedside table.
Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love
"You haven't been away?" he asks, insecure.
"Well," I chuckle, "I was in Swiss, but they fired me after a month. Apparently, I worked too hard. Isn't Swiss the country of workaholics?"
He smiles. Ooooooh, what a cute smile. Wait, cute smile's disappeared. Angry scowl has replaced it.
"Do you know what you've put me through?"
Wait. What I've put him through? Does he even remember why I left?
"What I put you through?" I screech. Yeah, I tend to speak my thoughts.
"You were the reason I left in the first place!"
His scowl replaces with a sorry look. Better.
"I'm sorry Rosie."
"Never mind. I didn't leave that well anyways."
"Huh? Why?"
"I might have done some EII on you."
"Huh? You mean you've stayed in my heart? 'Cause that might be true…"
Yeah, sure… Like I'd ever be that poetic, but never mind, he's happy right?
He engulfs me into a big hug.
"I love you." He whispers.
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
