Happy Ending (A Monchele Story)

Rivers and Roads

Cory
I'm woken up by the alarm clock, I'm about to roll back over and pull Lea close to me and resume sleeping, when she jumps out of bed. "Honey, what happened?" I say opening my eyes, letting the cool air hit my face. "Sheila pooped in the bed!" She says and I jump out of bed. Only to remember I'm naked, so I grab a pair of pants off the floor,winking at her. She smiles a little, just as the culprit walks in and lays at my feet. "We got and hour till we got to leave for the airport, right princess?" I ask ignoring Sheila's meowing for forgiveness. She nods as we clean the bed. "I'm gonna go get Jazzy up princess." She kisses my head, and I kiss her. "Come on Sheila lets go see if you poop on Jazzy!" I laugh as her ears droop in shame. Lea laughs and shakes her head. "Daddy sure is sarcastic this morning, Sheila." Lea says and I smirk. "Rise and shine kids!" I say softly walking into Cory and Jasmine's room. "Ah look who it is babe!" She says to Cory who's playing with his toys. "Daddy!" He yells. "Cory!" I say as I stop him from tumbling off Jasmine's bed.  "Come on plane wit me!" He says as he stands on Jasmine's stomach. She looks at me as I stifle a laugh, she then looks up at his hopeful three year old face. "Ok!" She says and he jumps up and down in her arms. "Cory, we have to get ready for take off!" I say taking him from her arms, a small thankful smile appeared on her lips. "I'm hungy daddy." I smile as I walk out of the room and see Lea. "Mumma!" He yells squirming in my arms. "Bubba!" She says taking him and kissing him. "Jazzy did you change his pull-up." I ask walking back into their room. "Yes Bear, I did." I start grabbing bags and I see my beanie in her  bag. "That's my favourite beanie, plus it goes with Riley's shirt." I nod putting it on her, and kissing her head. "Alexa play Rivers and Roads by The Head and The Heart" I say as we walk downstairs. "A year from now we'll all be gone
All our friends will move away
And they're going to better places
But our friends will be gone away
Nothing is as it has been
And I miss your face like Hell
And I guess it's just as well
But I miss your face like Hell
Been talking 'bout the way things change
And my family lives in a different state
And if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
So if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
Rivers and roads
Oh rivers and roads
Oh rivers 'til I reach you
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you

Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you." I put Sheila in her carrier, after bathing her. Then we all leave. This is gonna be a fun three hours, customs rock! Said no one ever. Then we all get on the plane. "Cali here we come!" I say as we all sit down. It's me, Jasmine, and C's sitting in Lea's lap, and Sheila's in front of me. Then about half way through C starts doing the peepee dance, so I take him and then he falls asleep in my arms. I look over at my love and think of this song. "Rent a flat in the city, it never ends
I need a change
It's all the same
Woke up today and I'm feeling all the weight
And my
Pulsing in my brain
All alone in a hotel bed
Could get drunk instead
Either white or red
I run a bath and I'm slipping down 'til I don't hear a sound
I've been under for so long, the water in my lungs
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I've been under for so long, thank god that I'm still young
I'm finally coming up for air
I'm coming up for air
I'm finally coming up for air
I'm coming up for air
I've been feeling stupid thinking that getting shot by Cupid could change me
It's amazing
Simple delusion, persistent illusion
Driving me crazy
Who can blame me?
I've been under for so long, the water in my lungs
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I've been under for so long, thank god that I'm still young
I'm finally coming up for air
I'm coming up for air
I'm finally coming up for air
I'm coming up for air
(Feels like forever
Since my body and mind felt right together)
I've been under for so long
(Feels like forever
Since my body and mind felt right together)
I've been under for so long
I've been under for so long
(Feels like forever
Since my body and mind felt right together)
For so long
I'm finally coming up for air
I'm coming up for air
I'm finally coming up for air
I'm coming up for air." She smiles and I think of another song. "crash and burn asking you to look away
I crash and burn wondering why it is that you stay
I know it isn't pretty how I can't handle everything
But you never give up on me

When you love me so damn good
I know I will get better
When you hold me so damn good
I know I will get better
Give me wood, shelter, what through every bit of weather
How is it that you never give up on me
How is it that you never give up on me
Never give up on me
Never give up on me

I sink into a blue that tucks me into sleep
It's easier to close my eyes than to hear my demons think
But you wake me better than the morning's rising sun
And you never give up on me

When you love me so damn good
I know I will get better
When you hold me so damn good
I know I will get better
Give me wood, shelter, what through every bit of weather
How is it that you never give up on me
How is it that you never give up on me
Never give up on me
Never give up on me

When the lights go out you give me a spark
Show the ceiling when we're dancing in the dark
Lay me down under a blanket of stars
And watch as they illuminate all our scars

When you love me so damn good
I know I will get better
When you hold me so damn good
I know I will get better
Give me wood, shelter, wood through every bit of weather
How is it that you never give up on me
How is it that you never give up on me
How is it that you never give up on me
How is it that you never give up on me
Never give up on me
Never give up on me
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me."
