Beautiful Remains

Finally, the month I have been waiting for...it was finally April. The guys and I had just finished polishing up our songs and we were ready to record our demo in front of the record company. We all made sure to look our best while still being ourselves, since we wanted to impress everyone, and we were even allowed to bring our girl friends which eased my nerves a bit.“You ready?” Nicole asked.“Ye-”I was lost for words as I saw her come to stand behind me in the mirror. She had on a dark blue tube top, a black skirt which came to her mid-thigh region, tan pantyhoes, and black heels with spikes on the heel. Her hair was straightened and her eyes were lined with light geryish blue eyeshadow with some black eyeliner. I suddenly didn’t feel ready to go anywhere as my pants grew a bit tighter. Shit…

“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nothing ugh...you just..look so nice.” Smooth you moron...
“Thanks,” she smiled. “So, you’re ready then?”
“Yeah, you got the keys?”
“Right here.”
“Let’s go.”



Everything was going perfect; we played clearly, kept our eyes where they needed to be, didn’t goof off, and continued impressing the record label. It wasn’t until I reached the song Andy and I wrote for Nicole that I felt nervous. We tuned our instruments, since we were just coming back from a short break and began to play.

I cannot hide what's on my mind
I feel it burning deep inside
A passion crime to take what's mine
Let us start living for today

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna' stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

My outlaw eyes have seen their lies
I choke on all they had to say
When worlds collide what's left inside
I hold on tight and hear you pray

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna' stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom
(Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom)

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna' stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

After the recording session, Jon talked with the guys and we all felt a little nervous. Andy, I think, was the most nervous of us all but it wasn’t because of the money or the fame...he didn’t want to disappoint our army. Suddenly, the door opened and Jon walked in with a dreary look written all over his face. Andy covered his nose and mouth with both of his hands in shock and almost fell to his knees when Jon screamed ‘’They love it’.

“You ass!” Andy shouted, playfully punching him in the arm.
“Anyone wanna go to the bar and celebrate?” Jon chuckled.
“You guys go ahead,” I smiled, taking Nicole’s hand. “I’m going to spend the rest of the day with this beautiful angel.”
“I’m far from an angel.”
“You’re right.”
“Huh?”
“You’re a Fallen Angel.
”“Cute,” she giggled.

-----TIME LAPSE-----

“A little deeper, Ashley.”
“Like this?”
“Yes, now pull it all the way out. You gotta be fast.”
“Okay, here it comes...aaaaand. Ta-da!”
“It looks great.”
“I finally made a cake pop. Out of twenty, I made one fucking thing.”
“Yay,” she giggled, handing me some icing. “Now you can write anything you want on it.”

I then got an amazing idea. I asked Nicole to leave the kitchen because I wanted to surprise her with my decorating skills. A little reluctant, she agreed to leave and I instantly wrote the first thing that came to mind. I then turned the cake pop so she could read it and placed the little red box in front, leaving it open.

“Come on in and read it outloud!” I called to her.
“Okay. ‘Nicole will you mar--Oh my God!” she gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
“I know we haven’t been together for that long and I know you don’t believe in marriage but...to me it’s more than just a slip of paper. That slip of paper is a symbol of an eternity together and yes, I know we can spend an eternity together without being married. However, I want to introduce you as something more than my girlfriend...I want to introduce you as my wife. I want every thug, rapist, drunken asshole, every jerk to know that if they ever touched you...they can be more than certain that I’m going to be there in a heart beat. Nicole...will you please do me one of the most incredible honors of being my wife?”
“Yes.”
