Desperate Hearts. (A Steven Tyler fanfiction)

Chapter 33: Luv Lives

I followed the guys out to the stage with 5 minutes before the show was to start.
Steven grabbed my hand, smiling.
"Marley, thanks for what you said. You really helped me regain my confidence. I don't know if I would have been able to go out there without you."
I returned a smile, blinking back tears.
"You're welcome, Steven. Now go out and kill it."
Steven released my hand to get ready to run out on stage.
Joe patted me on the back, and then pulled me in for a hug.
"I'll miss you, Mars. Are you sure you're gonna be okay?"
I wiped a tear quickly from my eye. "Yeah, it's better this way."
"Where will you be standing for the show, at least?" Joe asked sadly.
I smiled. "The exact spot I did at the beginning of the tour. So you know where to look, and catch my eye."
Joe chuckled, and released my shoulders as the announcer started.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome: Aerosmith!!!."

Steven's POV

At the mention of our name, I raced out, my adrenaline pumping, and my heart beating rapidly.
"Hello, everybody!! How are ya tonight?!!"
The crowd cheered and applauded.
"Are y'all ready to rock?!!!" I yelled into the mic.
I looked at Joe and he started into the riff of Walk this Way.

Through the 2 hours, I was doing pretty good. I'm glad I remembered this, because it's unforgettable.
"You guys have been a great crowd tonight. We are proud to have such amazing fans, and I know I don't wanna miss a thing.."
The crowd exploded as we started into our last song.
I could hear Marley cheering from the side of the stage, and it urged me on.
She was amazing. She had really helped alot with everything regarding my accident.
I knew she was heartbroken about something involving me. But hopefully we would have time to figure out what it was.

As I got to the final chorus, I looked towards the side of the stage, and met Marley's eyes.
In an instant, it happened. Our connection sparked something in my mind, and then I knew.
I remembered her. Raquelle Marley Santiago. She's the love of my life. Flashbacks and memories of us rolled through my mind.
Marley..

Marley's POV

I felt tears sliding down my face as Steven looked at me. I couldn't read his face, but I knew it was time.
Time for me to leave.
As Steven sang the final note, and bid the crowd goodnight, I turned to leave for good.

I started walking away when I heard my name, and felt a hand grip my arm.
I was turned around, face to face with Steven.
His eyes shone with familiarity.
"Steven-" I started.
I was unable to speak because Steven placed his lips softly on mine.
After a couple amazing minutes, we broke apart.
I looked into his chocolate brown eyes.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Marley, don't go anywhere."
I was stunned for a moment.
"Steven, what are you talking about?"
Steven placed his hand on my cheek softly.
"I remember you. I remember everything."
I started sobbing quietly, and laughing at the same time.
"You do? How?" I asked quietly.
"When our eyes just met. It triggered something in my mind, and everything came rushing back. I remember us, I remember our love."
I was shocked. "I can't believe it, this is amazing! You remember me."
Steven smiled a heart-melting smile.
I sighed, and touched his cheek.
"Steven, I have to go."
His face dropped.
"Why?"
"Because I don't know if we can ever be the same. And I would rather die than lose everything we had." I placed my hand on his neck, and caressed his hair.
I kissed him longingly.
"Goodbye, Steven. I will always love you.."
I released him, and turned away.
"Raquelle Marley Santiago!!! I need you." Steven exclaimed.
I stopped at the mention of my full name.
I turned back around, with tears running down my face.
"And I need you.." My mind was conflicting my heart.
"Marley, please stay. Finding each other was fate. Two desperate hearts can be together. I want to spend eternity with you. I love you." Steven said, as he reached me, grasping me around the waist.
Looking into Steven's eyes, I knew I could never leave him. He is my heart and soul.
"I love you, too." I replied, and kissed him.
I pulled back, looking around, at the rest of the band. This was my future.
I checked the time.
"Well, the concert is over. How much time do we have?" I asked, a seductive smile playing at my lips.
Steven laughed, wiped away my remaining tears, and grasped me tighter.
"We have forever."

THE END.
