When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
I never thought that my life would be this much of a roller coaster. My birth parents didn't want me but I found some that did. From them I got my brother and a lot of special memories. Unfortunately, memories are all I had left of them for a long time. They were all taken away from me and I was thrown into foster care. After a few homes, an angel found me and took me in. She didn't try to be my mother but she ended up being just that. She loved me and took care of me like my adoptive mother would have. She made me whole. However, she too was taken away from me right before I was 18. That day was a deal sealer for me.
I was cursed. I was cursed to live a life of loving people and loosing them. It would start out all bright and delightful but would end in flames when I crashed and burned. After Abigail's death I vowed never to get close to anyone ever again but I guess the Man above didn't like that too much. I'm guessing he was finally taking pity on me when he sent Jack and hi family my way. Granted, that was smooth either seeing as I almost lost Jack twice and did loose Evelyn. For the most part though, it was great.
Jack taught me how to love again and then he showed me that I wasn't cursed. He helped me to learn to trust again. He showed me that, even if no one else was there for me, he would always be here. He'd pick me up when I was down and fix me when I was broken even if it meant breaking him in the process.
I didn't just learn from Jack though. I learned something from everyone that I encountered on my, so far, short life journey. They taught me important life lessons and they helped me realize who I really was.
I was not the girl who was curse. I was blessed because I had met some of the most amazing people on this Earth and not a lot of people can say that. I was not a pessimistic person anyone. I don't wait for bad things I happen anymore. I live life for each unexpected thing that gets thrown my way because I know that it's been thrown at me for a reason and I know that it wouldn't have been given to me if He didn't believe I wasn't strong enough to over come it.
No one has to tell me that I'm a different person that I was two and a half years ago. I can see and feel it for myself. My life is great and it keeps getting better.
"I want to thank all of you for coming. This means a lot to Kris and I that you would take the time to be here on our wedding day. We've worked long and hard to get it right so thank you all." Richie grinned and every clapped. Kris stood up next to him and looked over at me.
"I do want to add that if it wasn't for Em this wouldn't have possible. I would have gone crazy without her. So thanks, Em." she smiled and I winked at her.
It was true. I found out quickly that my brother didn't have a creative bone in his body. He could barely match his socks much much less pick out matching China for the reception. It was hard planning a wedding when the couple lived in Salem and I lived in Detroit but we managed. Jack and I made frequent trips and I even convinced my plane fearing brother to hop on one and come visit me.
I was really happy when everyone got along. Of course, Angel and Richie took to each other very fast. They conversed about me mostly and they seemed happy about that. If anyone was my brother in the Mercer family it was Angel. That made a serious friendship between him and Richie. Jerry was excited to say that he knew a doctor and the girls loved to hear him talk about his stories, with PG ratings of course. Camille even put on a happy face and questioned my brother on everything from coughs to cuts for the girls. He was her own personal pediatrician over the phone. Bobby was...well, he was Bobby. He took to call Richie a fairy like eh did Jack. When I asked why he said that they both were too picky about their hair. How can you not love Bobby?
But the wedding slowly but surely came together a mere 6 months after my reunion with Richie. In that time I had also finished my first complete year of college and was going back in September. Paisley had moved in with her new boyfriend, Frasier, and they were happy. Jack's band played at random gigs in town and surrounding towns. He even left some weekend to go to New York to perform. We were just lucky he got paid good for these gigs or we wouldn't be able to afford it.
Yes, we.
Jack officially moved in with me a few days after we got back from our trip. We did good. I yelled at him for leaving his dirty socks around and he yelled at me for leaving puddles of water on the bathroom floor after my hour long showers. After a few 'no hot water' fights, we agreed to shower together. Not that it was a long discussion. We are young after all.
"So you have decorating taste." Jack stated as we danced. I smiled up at him and nodded.
"Yes, I do." I agreed. "I enjoyed it though. It was nice to be able to mix and match and bring it all together. It turned out nice." I smiled and looked around the room.
"You did great, Diddle." he whispered and kissed my lips softly. I melted. I still do and always will. Jack has that effect on me. The tiny of kisses and smalled of touches will send me to a puddle on the floor. I loved every minute of it though.
I simply loved him. H saved me, he fixed and he completed me.
What more could a girl ask for?
"Em?" Jack whispered. I looked up at him again and tilted my head. He looked nervous.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"You know I love you, right? That I would do anything for to, do anything to protect you, right?" he asked and I nodded my head, a little confused as to what he was trying to get at.
"Of course, Jackie." I told him. He took a deep breath and I looked down wen he stuffed his hand in his pocket. He pulled out a tiny box and my breath caught.
"I wannna marry you, Em. I know I've been against it but I can't imagine me with anyone else but you." he whispered and slowly opened the box. My eyes looked up to his scared ones and back down at the diamond ring he was holding.
"Will you marry me?"
