Letting the Last One Go (RIERRA FANFIC)

Chapter 10

Ramin took another deep breath and planted his feet down on the stage. He closed his eyes, and Keeping great posture, he started to sing,

"On the first day that we met, I saw you dance without a net." The auditorium disappeared, and now the gym of his old school formed around him.

"You took me through the steps, I was willing to try with you." He envisioned Mandy in front of him, holding out her hand to dance like they had a long time ago.

"I found silence in the loudest part

Cause you're the one that took my heart." Her friends came up to them and they talked and danced for majority of the evening.

"And we talked until the sun came up

And in the morning light, I found love." They we're now on his old couch, talking that night. He took off his tie and jacket, but still in his outfit. They talked all night until they both fell asleep on the couch together.

"And we flew away

Being pulled away." He remembered the morning when he told her he was leaving.

"Didn't know where we were going, but our hands just held on tight." He remembered yelling at his parents, not wanting to go, watching Mandy cry as he left her.

"And our dreams are like balloons

Oh you loose them far too soon." He has only dated her for a couple of years, he felt like it wasn't enough.

"We tried everything we know

Before letting the last one go." He remembered putting the bracelet on her in remembrance.

"What was then may not be now." Now, he was in Denver with Sierra and Hadley.

"I still lay my whole life down

I will wear this broken crown

And shoulder all the faults." Denver transferred back to Canada where he had a fight with Mandy because he forgot about her birthday and let her stranded at home. They had multiple fights throughout their relationship.

"But make no mistake my love was clear

Never doubt the way I feel

I know I'm far from a perfect man, but I really tried when it all began." Fight after fight, they'd end them with hugging and kissing each other once they were done.

"And we flew away

Being pulled away

Didn't know where we were going, but our hands just held on tight

And our dreams are like balloons

Oh you loose them far too soon

We tried everything we know

Before letting the last one go." His notes soared through the auditorium. When he sang the chorus, he wished he could see Mandy once again to just said how sorry he was. Not just for leaving her, but for falling in love with someone else. Their love was a balloon that simply floated away.

"We watched them float away

Carrying our yesterdays

But some things never fade." The memories of her stuck in his mind finally. Even through he didn't feel the love for her anymore, he would always remember her.

"And we flew away

Being pulled away

Didn't know where we were going." He knew where we was going this time. Home. His home in Denver with Hadley and Sierra.
