Soulmates

Chapter 15

It had been two weeks since Freddie's passing and due to all the memories the house brought, good and bad, we were moving. It was the final day in the house and everything was packed and ready to go. The twins had gone off with Roger for the day while I settled us into the knew home. Neither of them were bothered about moving but I was, I was going to miss the house I called home for so many years.

Me and Freddie had done everything there and I couldn't bare to leave it but I knew I had to. Freddie would want me to move on. I stood in the hallway, about to leave it for good.

"Ah-oh" I sang doing it in Freddie's style, as I still wore the yellow jacket and refused to take it off

I got greeted by silence before I turned and walked from the house. One single tear left my eye as I locked the door and handed the keys to the estate agents. As I walked to my car I felt someone hug me. I turned to see the familiar face of David Bowie.

"Hey David" I said forcing a smile

"That smiles fake. Give me a proper one" he said pulling on my cheeks

I softly giggled which made him stop.

"Why did you come?" I asked

"I knew it would be a hard day for you. With everything that's going on at the minute I came to give you support" David replied

At that i broke down into tears, which made David pull me into an embrace.

"Don't cry. Freddie wouldn't want to see you upset" David said

I slowly stopped crying and parted from him.

"Sorry about that" I said looking down to the ground

"Don't apologise. Any widow would act like this" David said rubbing my arm "Now will you be okay to drive?"

"It's not affected my legs" I replied walking over to the drivers side

"I'll come with you. In case you need anything" David said opening the passenger door

We both got into the car and I set off driving for our new home. I had been a few times to see how the builders were changing and decorating the house ready for when we move in.

"Do you know who's buying the old place?" David asked

"No one yet" I replied

We fell back into silence until a tear rolled down my cheek which David wiped away. I turned and smiled at him.

"I'm always here for you" he said rubbing my knee

I looked back to the road as we hit the motorway. When we arrived at the house we parked up and walked inside.

"You go from that, to this" David said

"It's nice and homely. And besides the gardens the bast bit. Especially for five year olds" I replied as we began unloading everything

It took a while until all the furniture was completed. I had asked the twins to draw out diagrams of how they wanted their rooms and I eventually had the rooms just as they wanted it. After the house was sorted me and David sat down with a glass of champagne each to celebrate. I went to open my mouth to speak about Freddie but David stopped me.

"Don't mention Freddie, I don't want you getting upset about him" David said

I looked to the ground and smiled.

"You know me so well" I said looking back up at him

Later that evening the kids were still with Roger and I was alone. I pulled my old song out I was writing about my parents and decided to finish it, Freddie was the whole reason for me to finish it. I began to sing what I had so far.

So I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
You're home
Fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know
A life with love is a life that's been lived
So I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
You're home
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings and I know
That when God took you back he said Hallelujah
You're home

I then began writing more lyrics to start the song. It got to the point where I was upset and tired so I pulled myself to bed and slept right through.
