Dual POV
This story starts off right after Max made the choice to sacrifice Arcadia Bay, leaving only her and Chloe as survivors. Without anywhere else to go, the duo hit the open road, desperate to run away from their past. Life is hard, and over t...
We're the first one's to arrive at my parent's house despite being the last to leave, so Max and I have a few minutes to ourselves. "Come on, I want to give you something," I tell Max as I lead her upstairs to my room. "Aren't we supposed to wait until after the honeymoon to do that?" Max replies with a smug ass grin. I roll my eyes and start shuffling through my drawers, "I wasn't talking about that, smartass... I was talking about this,". I turn to my wife and hand her a small gift, which she takes gingerly. "What is it?" She asks, picking at the shitty newspaper that covers it. "Open it," I answer, sitting on the edge of our bed. Max nods and carefully sits down beside me and opens the gift. "Huh, a mixed tape? Wowsers Chloe, we are hella old," She says, flipping open the case, "'To my beautiful and loving wife," she begins, reading the note I'd left inside, "'I have never been good with words, and I doubt I'll ever be able to tell you just how much you really mean to me... so I found a few songs to do it for me. I love you with all my heart, Max, and you'll always be my hero... forever and alway'". Max pauses and puts the case down, tearing up a bit, "W- wow, Chloe... that was... wow,". I smile and lean over, embracing her, giving her a quick kiss. "Love the songs, too" she adds, looking at the list again:
1. Time of Your Life- Green Day
2. A Thousand Years- Christina Perri
3. Thinking Out Loud- Ed Sheeran
4. Photograph- Ed Sheeran
5. I Melt With You- Modern English
6. I Will Follow You into The Dark- Death Cab For Cutie
7. All of Me- John Legend
8. Crazier- Taylor Swift
9. Chasing Cars- Snow Patrol
10. C'est La Mort- The Civil Wars
"I hope so," I reply, getting a bit emotional myself. We pull away and look at each other for a moment, blushing deeply. "W-what do you say we use on of these songs for our first dance," Max suggests, standing up and putting the tape into my ( clearly really outdated) stereo across the room. We had already decided on using Ed Sheeran's 'Photograph' because come on... that song was basically written for us. Anyways, I agree, theses songs are special... even if no one gets to see us dance. "So... which shall we dance to?" Max asks, handing me the case. I smile and take it, walking over to the stereo and selecting the perfect song. "Ready?" I ask, standing in the middle of the room, watching as my partner wraps her arms around my shoulders and I place my hands on her hips. We lean in, gently resting our foreheads against each other, "Always,".
Well here we are Living in the moment Well here we are Dreaming in the open Look around Isn't this a new day? Make a move Doing things a new way A new way
'Cause this is our world And this is our time These are our plans We're gonna let 'em shine This is our place In the human race And we won't stop dreaming No we won't stop dreaming
Look ahead We can see forever You and me Doing it together Light it up Don't you see we've come so far
Yeah we've come so far
'Cause this is our world And this is our time These are our plans We're gonna let 'em shine This is our place In the human race And we won't stop dreaming No, we won't stop dreaming
Standing at the crossroad Feeling how the wind blows We can soar above the clouds Every moment is a heartbeat Every breath feeling so sweet Who can say what happens now
'Cause this is our world And this is our time These are our plans We're gonna let 'em shine This is our place In the human race And we won't stop dreaming No, we won't stop dreaming
We won't stop dreaming
