Part 12: The Light Behind Your Eyes

Remington's POV

Last night, I had a dream. Me and Joanna were singing on a stage in front of the biggest audience I've ever seen. The crowd loved us, and we loved them. We were singing our hearts out, and the love inside of my heart kept growing bigger and bigger.

There's something about you,
I can not explain
I just want to know you,
I just want to know your name
It's not what you said,
Not the way you said it
I'm under your spell and I don't regret it
Take my breath,
Baby reach inside my chest,
You can have whatever's left,
Cause baby I'm possessed
Don't you try to hide with those angel eyes
(If you let me inside, I wont hold back this time)
Such a deep disguise, the devil's right inside
(More than paralyzed, Oh its the chase you like)

Then I saw our band members and everything changed. The music seemed to stop, and the audience started to turn against us. As me and Joanna got closer, the fans seemed to want to kill us or something. We tried to escape, but behind us were grave plots in the grounds for me and Joanna, and we had nowhere to go in that moment. When I finally awake from my nightmare, I was sweating all over my body and I must have been crying. I never felt so scared to lose something so sacred and important to me.

Now it feels like that dream was real, even if it didn't play out exactly like in my dream. My chest kept burning as I kept running to the town line to try to see my wife at least one more time. Any tiredness I may have felt in my body was replaced by this pain in my mind and heart that seemed to get worse and worse as I tried to believe this wasn't true. I found my motor bike, and got on it and rode on it as fast as I can. The border was packed with police cars and trucks, but it seemed like it was vacant of the cops, so I took a leap of faith and kept going with my head down for a second. Then, I headed to the church where I hoped Joanna would still be.

At this point, I didn't care who might see me and report me, jail isn't even close to the sort of punishment I'm facing right now. I was just starting to accept this unexplainable curse I have of never being able to be happy. Like, I started to believe I could live like this. But, when I met Joanna, I started to believe that maybe I could live happily after all. She was everything I ever needed, and I hoped I could be the same for her. How could the world do this? How could it be so cruel? It probably would have been better if I had never met her of just left her to herself at the party where we met and first sang together. But, I literally can't imagine not ever meeting her because I can't help but believe we were supposed to run into each other and fall in love with each other despite the kind of world we live.

When I got to the church, I left my bike in some bushes where it hopefully wouldn't be found while I was here. I stepped through the front doors, and as I saw the grim coffin all the way on the other side, I had a flashback of when I saw my beautiful bride waiting for me and waiting to start a new life with me. I felt the hot tears rising as I walked across slowly to where ma chérie was. I didn't want to look at first, but I needed to see her face one last time. As I looked over the half of the coffin that was open, I could feel my heart shatter in a million pieces as I saw her beautiful face so lifeless. I couldn't hold back the sobs and heartbreak, and I wished I could join her.

Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain, the way i'm missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that i'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you,
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

I laid my hands on her still pink cheeks, and leaned down to kiss her at least one more time. When I touched her lips with mine, they felt warm and soft. Then, I felt something wrap around my neck, and when I opened my eyes, I saw her eyes fluttering open and staring straight into mine.

Joanna's POV

When the drug started to take effect, there was nothing in my sight and complete silence. Then, I heard footsteps, and when I turned to see who it was, no one was around. It was dark all around, and I started to feel alone. Then, a spotlight shone onto me, and I got dazed. I realized I was standing in front of a microphone. Then, there were lights in the distance like people lighting a candle or a flashlight. There was a slow roar of applause as the audience slowly started to become more visible to me. Their faces looked so happy and there was love in their eyes. Then, I noticed they started looking away from me and looked at something to my blind side. I couldn't see who was walking toward me, until another spotlight shone on them, and my heart rejoiced when I realized who it was. My husband. Mon chérie. Remington. I felt a surge of happiness as he leaned in closer to kiss my lips. When our lips touch, I felt myself wake up to find him kissing me in the church where we got married.





UPDATE (3/5/2019): I CHANGED THE TITLE TO THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVED IT DESCRIBED THE INTENSITY OF THE SITUATION MORE THAN WHAT I HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED. ALSO, THIS MAKES ME EMOTIONAL IN A GOOD WAY. 😭😭😭

AAHHH!!! They're back together again. But this wasn't part of the plan. What will happen to them now? Stick around for the concluding chapter to come very soon! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!! Prepare yourself, and remember everything is not what it seems.
