Chapter 1
Have you ever thought about what you leave behind when you grow up? When you lock the child in you to make more space for the adult who asks for his rights? I had. So many times. There are times when I just want to turn back time and be a child again, to live the first love again, to experience my first kiss again, my first time… things can’t change though. I can’t be a child again and life follows its course.
I stared at the stunning picture painted on the Northern sky as the cold wrapped me in a sort of shield that gave me the feeling of complete freedom. The amazing colors of the Northern Lights are taking me to a parallel universe, a better one with her in it. You know, I came back here exactly after ten years since it happened, after ten years since I fell in love madly, hopelessly. It was like an ordinary night, even the sky seemed ordinary that night: 23rd November 1996…. After months of being way from my beloved home I went on this beach to find myself and bring a tribute to my muse: Northern Lights but instead I found something more beautiful.
OK I think you’re confused. I burst into your life trying to tell a story about me and her but I haven’t even introduced myself. Oh that’s rude. I bet she would laugh of my clumsiness. I’m really nervous you see. I’ve never been good with words and I’m not that much of a storyteller. I’m Lauri Ylonen, lead singer of The Rasmus. If you listen to rock music you must have heard about us and about our albums but if you don’t like it then you might just have heard about our song In the shadows. I bet you had but you had no idea who sang it don’t you? Don’t worry I’m not mad on you. I was just trying to make a nice introduction but I started rambling again about unimportant stuff. It usually happens when I drink a bit but don’t worry I’m sober enough to tell my story and if I won’t be able to complete it tonight then you’ll have to wait till tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or when I’ll have time. I’ll just give you a call and tell you to get ready ok?
So being a real storyteller I need respect a ritual so please ignore my rudeness. I don’t want to disappoint my fellow writers or storytellers. I take a deep breath in then take a good gulp from my vodka. It’s really inspiring you know? You should try.
I stare at my watch nervously. She said she would be here. She promised. Damn it Lauri! You should have tried more…
“We swam in the fountains
Beneath the Northern stars
We cried from the laughter
And died in each other’s arms
Remember to live forever
To live for love”
“You always had a nice voice you know?” A girl said and as I spun around I saw her image standing right in front of me. For a moment I thought she smiled but then I realized it was just a sarcastic smile to make me feel even guiltier. Despite the fact so many years had passed she remained the same. Very beautiful in her messy way. Her hair has remained mess that made her look as if she came from a different world. Her makeup, still dark just like it was in high school gave her a much more stylish look.
“Aurora… you came…” I say and rise from the sand to take her in my arms. It’s the only thing I want to do right now. To die in her arms and I’d be the happiest man in the world.
She sighed and rolled her eyes. “Yeah… just to tell you to leave me alone. Seriously Lauri I have a life and I’m not going to waste it with a prat like you!”
I looked at her scared. Only the thought of loosing her again makes me feel vulnerable and lifeless as if I’ll loose a part of me.
“I’ll leave you alone after this night. But tonight is our night. Me and you on this beach just like we were before…” I sighed as I looked into her eyes. She wanted me to continue but I just looked down.
“Before you dumped me because you thought you needed space to continue with you great dream of becoming a rock star!” Aurora said and looked at me disgusted. “I don’t care about you anymore Ylonen. I once did. You were my life, you’ve become my reason to live and I gave you my heart but you threw it away as if were nothing.”
“I’m so sorry. That day is still haunting me. If only I could turn back time and change everything…”
“You can’t! Let me ask you a question Mr. Ylonen! Are you happy now? Are you really happy with your groupies? With your supermodel Russian girlfriend and the millions you have? Was it really worth it?”
“I broke up with Natalia couple of months ago and no I’m not happy.”
She stared at the beach with a look full of melancholy that matched the look of a dying person. She seemed to be drifted to another world. Memories seemed to invade her mind and body and as I saw her like that I walked towards her and took her in my arms. At first, her body seemed to respond at my touch but soon she broke my embrace.
“Don’t you ever do that Lauri Ylonen! I’m not the same silly girl you dumped years ago. I’ve changed and I feel nothing for you! Nothing, you hear me?”
“I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have done that…”
“Look, let’s just finish with this c*ap and get back to our lives. You will go back to being a rock star surrounded by hundreds of fans and skinny supermodels and I’ll get back to my dance. Ok?”
I smiled and nodded in response and showed her to sit on the beach. She obeyed without saying a word and for couple of moments we both sat in silence enjoying the moment.
“It’s a beautiful night don’t you think?” I asked in attempt to break the silence.
“Ordinary…”
“Oh came on! You always loved being on the beach! We had first kiss on this beach remember?”
“Just distant memories… haven’t thought about it in a very long time.”
“You never were a good liar so stop pretending. You’re loving this just like I do.”
“And you’re a psychic now huh? So what talents have you achieved Ylonen since I last saw you? Wait don’t tell me! You’ve became Santa’s helper right?”
“Sweet as always!”
“I know… so with what shall we start now? With how we met? With how you used to bully me?”
I laughed as I looked at her. I loved the way she looked when she was mad. It made her look deadly beautiful. A fire lit in her eyes as she spoke and without even thinking I came closer to the fire not caring whether I’ll get burnt or not.
“You weren’t a saint either!” I said and she smirked. “I think we should start with the beginning. With how you came to our high school and the other stuff.”
“Sure. So it all started when I….”
