Our Last Note - A Jeremy McKinnon Fanfiction

Part 14

I left Jeremy to chat with Jimmy Eat World for a while and went to watch Sleeping With Sirens play their set. A crowd had already gathered, not the large kind you'd expect due to it being a private party, but it had the same atmosphere.

I joined Bella and Neil at the barrier, scooting through gaps in the crowd. They were holding hands. Kaching! Jackpot.

They both greeted me with a hi as I walked up. Well, at least what I thought was a hi, seeing as I could hear fuck all.

Jeremy joined me after the fourth song had finished. Kellin glanced around for a moment on stage to check that the whole party was in order. I couldn't believe he'd sorted this all out for Jeremy and I. He was an amazing big brother.

We had an awesome rave to Sleeping With Sirens. They were incredible, but it was soon time for All Time Low to take to the stage. I decided to mingle a little. I found Rosie and another familiar face.

"Cara!"

"Ember!"

My other cousin ran over to me and tackled me into a hug. I laughed and we got up.

"I haven't seen you in ages!"

"I know!" Cara giggled. "Enough talk, anyway! I Feel Like Dancin' is on, LET'S DANCE HOE!" Cara began to dance retardedly as in tradition. I laughed and attempted to calm her down. Once she'd reduced to a much calmer state, we turned to watch All Time Low properly. I met with many other of my old family and friends throughout the gig. I was so happy to see everyone again. All Time Low reached their final song.

"I'd like to invite my beautiful fiancé to the stage for this song." Alex began playing the chords for Therapy as he spoke. Rosie's face changed in happiness and surprise, a broad grin spreading across it.

I watched cheerily as they joined on stage and sang Therapy together. It blissfully reminded me of the day Jeremy had proposed. As I began to think of my fiancé, he joined me, his eyes gleaming with the same memory. He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, and I nuzzled back against his chest. Jeremy rested his chin on my head. I smiled and looked over at the beautiful scene unfolding on the stage.

Fireworks began to illuminate the night sky, rivalling the beauty of the stars. Alex's and Rosie's voices entwined made a gorgeous harmony.

When the song ended, I clapped and cheered as loud as I could. Rosie gazed down at me from the stage and grinned. Both she and Alex seemed to know that I was reminiscing of my night with Jeremy. I was so happy for them. I turned to my fiancé, smiling broadly.

"I love you, Jeremy. I want you to know that if anything happens between us, I will always love you. Please, let nothing change that." I grabbed him by the cheeks gently and pulled him down for a kiss, closing my eyes. When I opened them, I saw the light of the fireworks reflected in his beautiful, deep light brown eyes. He was so perfect.

"I feel the same way," Jeremy whispered in my ear.

"Come on, My Chem will be on soon," I giggled. "Let's go!"

After My Chemical Romance had played and Jimmy Eat World were halfway through their set, I left Jeremy to enjoy himself and took the change to sit alone, far away from the noise. I sat on Emberlight's sister hill, Silverdusk. It was equally as beautiful, but it didn't offer the same leaf fall in the surrounding forest like my namesake's did, as it lay barren and open with barely a tree in sight.

I could still hear the muffled sound of Jimmy's set from there, but it was quiet enough. My ears rang, but it was easily ignorable.

I looked around at the silver-tinged grass. Due to the openness of Silverdusk, the moonlight washed over the grass better than it did at Emberlight, earning the hill its name. After admiring the grass for a while, I stared up at the stars - or more specifically, my mother.

"Are you proud of me, Mom?" I whispered. "I'm proud of you. I know you're watching."

I remained silent for a few moments before the sound of footsteps alerted my attention. I turned, startled, to what had distracted me, and blackness enveloped me, as well as the sharp pain of a blade slicing through my skin. I tried to scream, but before I could, I was gone.
