It's a cold universe

~ 12 ~

Milly's view:

After Will placed the buckets on a table and brought a few brushes in room too, we all grabb our stuff and go in the direction, straight to Violet Hill.
At this point I don't also know where the boys wanna drag me, but I know that's going to be great. Every moment I can spend with them was or is great. Like the first meeting. I was so freakin' nervous on this day. I literally fell almost on my knees when I saw the boys for the first time infront of me. Than the Irish pub, Rock n' Roll night, Violet Hill, Jamming sessions and so on. It was all so great and I enjoyed every second I spend with them, no matter if I was with one of them seperate or with all 4. Later the In my place - hunting day, where Chris wanted me back and now we're going to a great adventure again.

MJ: I'm gonna ask once more! Boys! Where we're going?
WC: To Violet Hill.
MJ: But we're not going to stay there, right?

--All boys nodd in agreement and Chris put on a huge grin --

MJ: Stop grinning Christopher! It isn't funny at all!
CM: It is! Because I know that you hate surprises and you hate it too, when everybody around you knows something important, except you.

Wow!  He's hit a sore spot with that!

A few seconds later, we pass the entrance and Will, Guy, Chris and Jonny look in each other eyes. Than all boys start a race to the top of the hill.
MJ: Sometimes they're not adult men. Sometimes they're 5 year old boys! All 4 of them!
As I reached the top too, little out of breath, I rest my hands on my knees and look over the horizon. The sky is already pitch black

I hate winter! You can never enjoy long nights

JB: Attention guys!

Wow Jonny says something! Take out your cameras, folks.
And suddenly he screames:

,,IF YOU LOVE ME WON'T YOU LET ME KNOW?????¨

Will and Guy look each other in the eyes and start the chant from Viva la Vida

What the hell is going on here? Jonny is shouting , Guy and Will are singing like there is no tomorrow and Chris is quiet ?!

Chris runs down the other side of the hill and waves us to him, while singing:

We were sitting
We were walking in the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious

They were sitting
They were talking in the strawberry swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing

All 4 of us reach him now and in a straight line we walk down to an old but very big tree, were a lamp hangs
I think he knows this way by heart, because he just keeps his eyes closed and continues singing

Cold, cold water
Bring me round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water
What ya say ?
It's such
It's such a perfect day

I remember
We were walking up to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing

MJ: Chris wait a sec! Are we going to Strawberry Swing?
CM:
People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna curve away
It's such
It's such a prefect day

MJ: Ok thank you for the answer, man.
Sometimes I hate him.

WC: There we are! Milly, this is strawberry swing!

As I take a look straight ahead, I only can see a very old and dirty swing made out of wood, which became knotted on a long and thick branch of the adjacent tree. I was fascinated and shocked at the same time. That should be this very special place? The name of this beautful and wonderfull song? It all should end up to an old and nearly breaking swing under a tree in London?! I just can't believe it!

JB: What ya say?
MJ: I don't know it's ..........beautyfull and old, but in a good way. I just -
JB: Yeah?
MJ: I think I just expected a bit more of that.
JB: Oh ok...well we can explain and answer you a few things if you want.
MJ: Ok, sure!

Jonny and I take the last few steps to the swing.
JB: See? We carved our initials into it and the year so we wouldn't forget what a day it was. We said then, if we could ever be a creative and good band we would come back here and celebrate like in old times. And the name just came in our minds because someone always brought strawberries with it.
MJ: Wow! So when do ya carved it ?
JB: 1998
MJ: The beginning of Coldplay.
Jonny nodd and sit down on the swing. The other man, including me dit down on the wet floor.

MJ: So I have to thank you all for including me so much in the band. I love these adventures so much. You gave me another perspective of life and I couldn't be more gratefull for that.
WC: Aww! We appreciate and love ya too, Milly! You brought the enrgy in the band back! We needed someone like you the wholw time over.
CM: You opened up my eyes and lighted up my heart! We all love you so much! Jay c'mon down here.

He stands up and sitts down between Will and me. We hugged each other long and tight.
I take a look up to the sky and counted my lucky stars for the billioneth time.
