*And I'd give up forever to touch you*
*'Cause I know that you feel me somehow*
*You're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be*
*And I don't wanna go home right now*
“Come on Reggie!” James exclaimed leading the boy through the park. Regulus smiled “slow down James, you act as though we’re running out of time .
*And all I can taste is this moment*
*And all I can breathe is your life*
*And sooner or later, it's over*
*I just don't wanna miss you tonight*
“G’night Reg” James said softly as they stood outside Reg’s house.
Regulus just ran inside, but not before waving goodbye. He sighed and went to his room and leaned against the door.
*And I don't want the world to see me*
*'Cause I don't think that they'd understand*
*When everything's made to be broken*
*I just want you to know who I am*
*Flashback*
Regulus watched from his window as James and his brother played football in the street. He wished James would notice him- “Regina! Focus!” he was interrupted by his mother’s scolding
“You're not even trying to work on your embroidery” she continued
*And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming*
*Or the moment of truth in your lies*
*When everything feels like the movies*
*Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive*
Regulus looked in the mirror at his reflection. Everything was wrong, his hair, his chest, his scars. He knew deep down everyone- including, no, especially James- would always see him as a girl. He picked up the knife and began to add to the many scars on his wrist.
*And I don't want the world to see me*
*'Cause I don't think that they'd understand*
*When everything's made to be broken*
*I just want you to know who I am*
“Siri who's that woman in your house peering out the window?” James asked, staring at regulus.
“Oh that's just my sister Regina” Sirius responded
*And I don't want the world to see me*
*'Cause I don't think that they'd understand*
*When everything's made to be broken*
*I just want you to know who I am*
Regulus knew it was stupid to confess his feelings, it was a good thing James liked stupid
*And I don't want the world to see me*
*'Cause I don't think that they'd understand*
*When everything's made to be broken*
*I just want you to know who I am*
“I'm going to ask you something and i need you to be mature about it” James said nervously.
“Yeah mate what's up?” Sirius responded
“Can i marry your sister?”
“Yeah”......
*I just want you to know who I am*
*I just want you to know who I am*
*I just want you to know who I am*
Everyone was dressed in black as they stood around the casket holding regulus’ body
“I just don't understand why she would do this” his mother sobbed.
Off in the woods
James let the letter fall from his hands. His love was dead. Before he went home he wrote a letter addressed
“To my future husband” and left it beside their favorite tree to visit together.
