Scara Rose, The Warrior

Chapter 28

Snow's pov

"Hewy," Neal beams as we laugh at him.

"Yes we should go find Chris," Emma says.

The five of us walk out with Neal in his father's arms.

"So where do we find him?" I ask.

"It's 3:30," Henry exclaims, "school's out, and he has every Friday off from his job at the docks, so I'm guessing he's at his house."

"Lead the way," Emma says as we all follow Henry.

Henry leads us across town to a small home that's down the street from the house Henry and Hook chose for Emma. It's a simple one story house with a two car garage attached and a white picket fence.

"I've driven by this house several times," Emma states.

"We even looked at this house," Killian adds, "because of the fence, but it has been lived in for about a year and a half now."

"By Chris," Henry says as he walks directly in front of the house.

We all go to stand beside him and gaze at the house. The garage door is open and there is an old blue truck and numerous boxes in it. What catches my attention though, is the stand and chair set up in the empty half of the garage.

Suddenly a boy walks out the door that connects to the rest of the house. He has light brown shaggy hair and is about 18 I think. He is a little bit shorter than Charming and Killian and pretty muscular. The boy comes around the blue truck and I can see he has a guitar in his hand.

He and Scara must have had a lot in common.

He goes and sits in the chair with his back to us. He then puts something on the stand in front of him, but I can't see what it is. I would like to say it's sheet music, but I can't to see from this angle.

He settles down in the chair and stares for about a minute in silence at whatever is on the stand in front of him. Finally he begins to strum on the guitar and sing.

She's a yellow pair of running shoes

A holey pair of jeans

She looks great in cheap sunglasses

She looks great in anything

She's 'I want a piece of chocolate'

'Take me to a movie'

She's 'I can't find a thing to wear'

Now and then she's moody

Just like Scara, Chris has an amazing voice.

She's a Saturn with a sunroof

With her brown hair a blowing

She's a soft place to land

And a good feeling knowing

She's a warm conversation

That I wouldn't miss for nothing

She's a fighter when she's mad

And she's a lover when she's loving

And she's everything I ever wanted

And everything I need

I talk about her, I go on and on and on

'Cause she's everything to me

She's a Saturday out on the town

And a church girl on Sunday

She's a cross around her neck

And a cuss word 'cause it's Monday

She's a bubble bath with candles

'Baby come and kiss me'

She's a one glass of wine

And she's feeling kind of tipsy

I hear the boy slightly chuckle at the last line.

She's the giver I wish I could be

And stealer of the covers

She's a picture in my wallet

And my unborn children's mother

She's the hand that I'm holding

When I'm on my knees and praying

She's the answer to my prayer

And she's the song that I'm playing

And she's everything I ever wanted

And everything I need

I talk about her, I go on and on and on

'Cause she's everything to me

I hear the boy begin to softly cry as we get right behind him. I step forward to look over his shoulder at the stand.

It's a picture, the same picture that was in Scara's locket, only it was a larger printed version of it.

She's the voice I'd love to hear

Someday when I'm ninety

She's that wooden rocking chair

I want rocking right beside me

Every day that passes

I only love her more

Yeah, she's the one

That I'd lay down my own life for

He can barely even say the last line of the verse. This whole thing is literally eating away at him.

And she's everything I ever wanted

And everything I need

I talk about her, I go on and on and on

'Cause she's everything to me

Everything I ever wanted

And everything I need

She's everything to me
