Right here and now feels like forever
Never touch the ground when we are together
Right here and now feels like forever
Right place the right time.
Sang Olly Murs as the men and women on the bicycles did tricks on and off the black iron benches. All I could do was stare in awe of what was happening.
Left, left, left right leftLeft, left, left right left
Shit not this song. Personal Soldier by The Wanted was my "feel good" song.
Tell me what's going on
I know there's something
On your mind and
Can you just open up?
Do you feel out of love?
Is somebody tryin' to hurt you?
You know I'll never let that happen
They must be out of their minds
I couldn't help but tear up at what was happening, but the water works started to pour when I saw all of the dancers that auditioned for Thanks To You, dancing towards me in complete unison.
Then the song of a record scratching sounded from some where causing all of the dancers and people on bikes ran and rode away, as She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5 started playing. I saw four figures in the distance, 2 guys and 2 girls. The girls seemed to be dressed in flowly long pink dresses, the guys in white buttons downs and pink bow ties. As they came closer, they grabbed their partners, and began to dance with each other, still getting closer and closer to me.
Then when they were just 10 feet away I recognized who they were, Nathan, Claire, Maya, and Sam. I watched Sam and Nathan dance with their women until they stopped and put their hands out in front of me.
"Follow us Nellie" Claire said as I took her and Maya's hand as we followed the boys in toe. As we walked, Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 began playing and the bicyclists came back, so did the dancers.
It was magical to watch the dancers and bikers weave in between each other, never disrupting each others performance.
The bikers then took the lead as the dancers started jogging behind them, leaving the gang and I behind, but me with a huge smile.
"What is all this for Claire?" I asked
No response.
"Maya? Sam? Nathan?"
No response, all the four of the was give me kisses on the cheek and hand, then run towards the location of the bikers and dancers. So I followed them and came across the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed.
The 20 acre lake I had known like the back of my hand. The 20 acre lake that I jogged to, and around everymorning, was transformed.
The moon lit lake water contained thousands of floating candles, and sparklers held by not only my four best friends, but my brothers, sister, and their husband and wives as they sat in boats.
One boat in particular made its way towards me, and inside of it was my father and Charlotte. My face couldn't help but light up when I saw both of them.
"Nellie!" Charlotte cheered as I jogged down the dock and into the boat, "I missed you" she smiled.
"Missed you too mija." I kissed her on the forehead as I ruffled her hair, "Dad" I smiled as he continued to row to the other side where all of the boats seemed to dock, "What's all of this for?"
