Legend says that one those two people finds their other half they will be stronger than anybody else.If two flames from the same spark...If two earths from the same seed...If two waters from the same drop...If two airs from the same wind...They may...
We were on the tower when the bell rang for midnight.He got up.He helped me got up and wiped his tears after he wiped mine."Let's go."I hugged him and whispered."Ralph you're not ready to move on.Please don't act like you are.And give me my ring back."He let go of me.He got on one knee and took a box out."I'm not ready to lose you.Ever.Will you be mine forever?"I nodded.He opened the box and the ring was gorgeous.He put it on where the flamekeeper used to be. I chuckled."I still want my flamekeeper back."He got up rolling his eyes.He got my flamekeeper out of his pocket."I was furious and was about to burn you.So I took it off."I sighed."I figured you'd have a good reason behind it."I got the flamekeeper and put it on my other hand.
He leaned and kissed on my forehead.We stood there for a while with his lips in my forehead.His hands on my cheeks and my hands on his.This was one of the most twisted days I had.I sighed."This still doesn't change what I think.You're not going to be over this as soon as you want to be over it.It's going to take time."He hugged me."Let it take time.You're here."

He stroked my hair as he hugged me tight.I could feel the tear drops falling on my head from his eyes.He was crying so silently if I hadn't felt the tears I wouldn't even hear it.I tilted my head up emberassed that I wouldn't hear it and wiped his tears."Let's go."He nodded and we went to his room hand in hand together.There was a couple guys that wasn't asleep but without them minding we went to his bed and he buried his face into my chest.Following few days were not that great.When saturday morning came I was getting ready for Mrs.Fern's funeral.

A couple more people were coming too.Alex and I were outside the boys room waiting for Ralph."How are you?"I sighed and fixed my hair as I flipped it to the other side."I don't know ok?That woman died because of me.I-I'm just concerned about Ralph.He's being so hard on himself and I have no idea how to be there for him.I tried talking to him.I tried to get him to talk to me.I hugged him.I kissed him.I held him through the night.But nothing is working.I just want Phoenix to die.All of our problems can be solved."But he was frozen.I waved my hand right in front of his eyes and then he came back."Are you ok?"He grabbed my hand harshly."What is this?"Oh...I haven't told anyone that we were engaged.Makes sense."I was going to tell you guys when the year ended in three weeks.So that I would tell all of you at the same time."
That was not it.I just...forgot.Honestly?I didn't have the time to think about it on my own.Ralph still wasn't getting out.I was getting worried because we were the only ones around now."Alex you go too.I-I'll get Ralph and we'll meet everybody there.Ok?"He sighed."Sure.I'll see you later."We hugged and he left.I knocked on his door and waited for a response.When it was deadly quiet I barged in."Ralph?"I heard shower running in the bathroom so I went there."Ralph?"I looked into the bathroom stalls one by one until I came to the last one.He was standing under the shower.Crying.His shirt was unbottoned and soaking wet.When he heard me he started hitting the marble wall in front of him with his fists until they were bleeding.I tried to stop him but he just pushed me away."Ralph I need you to listen to me!Hurting yourself won't bring her back!Pushing me away won't bring her back.Not letting me be there for you when you need the most won't bring her back.Crying won't bring her back.Standing under the running water won't bring her back.Isolating yourself from people won't bring her back!I promised your mom I would take care of you so please let me achieve her last wish!Please!"
"I can't go to the funeral.I-I can't do it.""If you won't...you'll regret it for the rest of your life.I would know.So please if not for your mom's dying wish do it for me."He turned around with red eyes and wet hair.I got in the bathroom stall and turned down the running water.I placed my hand on his cheek wiping the water in the process."I don't want to go.Please don't make me go."He was crying like a little kid who didn't want to go to his great-aunt's house for holidays because their kisses are wet and disgusting.Even the thought made me want to laugh but I just wanted to.I couldn't I wish I did but I couldn't.
"I was 9.I didn't go to Remi's funeral and...I still regret that I didn't to this very moment.I don't want you to regret it for the rest of your life.I did mistakes and I know how they fuck you up.I don't want you to be like me."He sighed."But I want to be like you.I want to be strong for the people around me.I want to trust people like you do-"I cut him off."I don't trust people.Anyone.I never trusted my parents.I bearly trust my grandparents.I don't trust Alex's family.I don't trust any of my friends besides Dexter.I have four people I trust completely.Dexter,Alex,you and Baron.But my point is...I'm not perfect.Maybe my imperfections are perfect for you but I'm not.I compliment myself.I love myself.But I don't trust myself.I will always resent myself for the mistakes I did.For the regret I brought upon myself.So please...come to the funeral with me.Ok?"He hugged me so tight I couldn't breath.He started sobbing and I started crtying silently.Then he broke the hug and kissed me.Like his life depended on it.It was perfect.He rested his forehead on my mine and whispered."I did the right choice.And I would do it again."
