Vanilla : Chapter 34

Music. Music is a way for people to cope, a way for people to express how they feel without speaking. Some listen, some play, some sing and some rap. For sunny playing was the theory, sad music meant sad feeling, happy music meant happy feeling. But at this moment she didn't know what she was feeling, she didn't know what she was playing, she just played. She played to her heart content, she played for nobody but herself, she played like no one was watching even though Aubrey was watching with much enthusiasm. In three hours, they would be on a plane to Florida, the start and root of there tour, the beginning of her newly found life. She stopped playing abruptly and ran a hand through her straightened hair, Aubrey smiled lazily clearly being exhausted

"your thinking about it, your thinking about my marriage proposal."

Sunny looked up at him for the slightest second, then dropped her gaze back down to the white and black keys

"i hope you understand that i wasn't asking you to drop everything and marry me, i was just asking. It doesn't have to mean anything, just know that i want to marry you some day and asking you to marry me is my way of saying that."

He stood up from the couch and walked over to her, he kissed her head before leaving the living room to what sunny guessed was finish his packing of the little things. Its not that she didn't want to marry him, by all means she did. She dreamt about marrying him, starting a long life living with him, being with him forever, she just didn't know what to do. She was about to start her first touring with him, he cheated on her, Rex passed, Her best friend was pregnant, it was all so much and dropping a question like that was not the right time. She felt a bit of relief as his theory was made clear, she placed her fingers on the keys and began to play once again.

Saying Goodbye to Sierra was harder then it seemed, she thought it would be a normal goodbye thing they did when they parted ways for the day. But reality set in when they saw each other and realized they wouldn't see each other for three months, three months of not being able to vent, three months of not being able to go to shacks, three months without each other. There embrace and hug seemed like it lasted a couple seconds but in the real world lasted about ten minutes, nobody wanted to pull away first, nobody wanted that feeling of being let go. Sunny had felt that feeling to many times, and feeling it again would only do more damage, especially if it was her best friend.

"i love you so much Sie."

"i love you to Sun."

There grip tightened until Sunny felt a hand on her shoulder, she squinted her eyes shut because she knew that it meant it was time to depart. At the same time both girl pulled away with tears in each others eyes

"i guess this is goodbye."

"no, don't say goodbye...goodbye means forever, this is just temporary...so say....say goodnight."

Sunny smiled sadly as she took a deep breath

"okay then, i guess this is goodnight."

"goodnight."

Sunny took in another deep breath before taking off one of her earrings and handing it to sierra

"in the breakfast club, Claire gives Bender one of her diamond earrings, She wears one while Bender wears the other as a sign of significance and love. You Sierra are my bender and i am your Claire.....Goodnight sierra."

With that sunny turned on her heel and boarded the plane. The ride was long but spent well, cuddling with Aubrey, eating snacks, watching movies that didn't have the words breakfast or club in them. Sunny fell asleep half way through the movie with her head resting gently on Aubrey's firm chest, he kissed her head and fixed her blanket so it was covering all of her instead of just her legs. Sooner then later Aubrey fell asleep as well with nothing but good vibes in his mind and the thought of sunny one day being Mrs. Graham.
