Love can never die

back with him again

“97 rock here, now how ‘bout we go to the fourth album for Get the Led out tonight.” “Hey dad, I bet it’s gonna be Stairway to Heaven!” I said jumping off the counter. “Well I bet you're wrong! It’s going to be Black Dog!” My dad was trying to prove me wrong. “No, I have this feeling.” I drifted off. “Why? Did Jimmy tell you?” My dad said sarcastically. “Why don’t you ask him?” I said looking down at my necklace, that was glowing with Jimmy’s symbol with the middle. I grabbed it and wished he was here. Just as he appeared in our kitchen, “Stairway to Heaven” came on. “Hi Mere-” “BOOM  IN YOUR FACE!! IT IS STAIRWAY!” I yelled at my dad. I looked to my right to see Jimmy. “Jimmurs!!” I said while jumping into his arms. I looked at my dad, he was still getting used to his thirteen year old daughter dating a rock god that was in his late twenties.

    Jimmy looked at our radio, with confusion on his face. “Where’s the record player?” He said scratching his head. I laughed and said.”Jimmy sweetie, this is the 2000’s. New, advanced stuff has been invented!” I said, trying not to make him look stupid. “Ohh Yeah.” Jimmy said laughing. I went out into our dining room and grabbed a chair for Jimmy. I put the chair next to the counter. After Jimmy sat down,  I jumped up onto the counter,and sipped some lemonade. “You want something to eat or drink there Jimmy?” My dad said getting up to get a beer. “No thank you. I’m good. I just have a question to ask you.” Jimmy said grabbing my hand. I couldn’t help but smile.

    “That depends, what’s the question?” My dad said, he was acting really protective now. “Well, the band is going on tour, so I was wondering if Meredith wanted to come.” I almost spit out my lemonade. “Are you serious!!! Holy crap! Dad can I please go?” I said practically on my knees. “Does any of her actions, or your actions affect the future, or anything with the band? Or to Meredith?” My dad asked. “Nope.Only if she gets seriously hurt, or killed. But I promise that won’t happen.” Jimmy simply said. “Bring me back a shirt, and just don’t get hurt. And finish Get the Led out with me ok?” Me and Jimmy just smiled and nodded.

    The last song finished, I jumped off the counter, and went over to hug my dad and said goodbye. “Just, please don’t get hurt.” He said with a tiny amount of tears in his eyes. Now tears were in mine. “ I won’t daddy. Jimmy takes good care of me.” I said reassuring him. “Because tomorrow is July fourteenth, and you’re going to be fourteen. Don’t want to miss that, do you?” My dad said squeezing my shoulder. “Tomorrow is your birthday?” Jimmy said, with his eyebrows almost in a horseshoe shape. “Yeah, so in your time, I’m gonna be nineteen, right?” I said looking at him. “Yeah, and in my time, tomorrow is July fourteenth! Let’s get going.” He said grabbing my hand. I looked at my dad before we teleported. He was waving at me, but he had this look on his face. Like he knew something was going to happen to me.

    I landed on my feet this time. We were in a beautiful house with plenty of plants, and beautiful furniture.”Whoa, Jimmy. Is this your house?” I said while looking outside the window, to see a river. “Yes. Do you like it?” He said walking over to me. “Yes! It’s beautiful!” I was still looking out the window at  the outdoors, and the river reminded me of home. “I’ll give you a house tour. If you want.” I said with his hand on my shoulder. “I would love to.” I said grabbing his hand. He led me up this beautiful, dark varnished, spiral staircase. I couldn’t help but smile, and just lose myself in the house. When we got to the second floor. There was one main hallway, with different doors. He walked me forward into the first door. “Well, as you can obviously see, this is a bathroom.”  He said. “Really? I couldn’t tell.” I said sarcastically. He gave me a little punch on the shoulder and laughed. He grabbed my hand again and led me to a medium sized room. I looked around it. It had a small lamp on the side table, and a small bed with red sheets and pillows. I stepped inside to look at a painting. It was a horizontal painting. There was lush green grass and a girl on a white horse. “Hey, that looks like my horse. Who painted this? It’s amazing!” I said gently touching the frame. Jimmy was sitting on the bed. “I painted that in my spare time.” I looked over at him. “Holy crap Jimmy! That is amazing!” I was starting to talk with my hands. He just laughed,and then his eyes widened with curiosity  when he saw my smile. “What happened to your teeth?” He said laughing and getting up to look at me.
