Summing It Up : She remembers all the good times
A/N : My first “official” fic for the community! I know, why am I writing other fics when I have prompts to finish, but Bubblewrap by McFly really inspired me (yeah I know, McFly, a brit pop group actually write such sweet lyrics to inspire? But hey, they have grown up!) The stuff in italics were lyrics taken off that song.
EDIT: I decided to add this fic to the prompt table because the theme suited :)
Silently she sits on the parapet, the wind billowing as her hair whips her face.
Silently, she tries her best to hold back her tears.
But as silent as the moment before, a tear leaks from the corner of her eye.
She remembers their first encounter. First impressions were always hard to change, but yet he had managed to do that.
She remembers the day he smiled at her.
She remembers the day she snuck out to meet him.
She remembers the day he held her hand.
She remembers the day he kissed her lips.
She remembers all the good times.
She remembers the fights they had; the time he threw his ring that adorned that special finger.
She remembers that that was the first thing he had given her.
She remembers foolishly searching for the ring in the dark.
She remembers the moment when she finally gave up.
She remembers it all as she pulls the ring off her finger, attaching it to the note in her hands.
She remembers it all as her fingers fumbles to fold a paper airplane.
She remembers it all as the paper flies with the wind as she gently releases it.
She remembers it all as she hangs her head to cry.

He picks up the tiny scrap of paper, a bit of silver on his finger reflecting the morning sunlight.
He opens the note as a piece of metal falls out into his hands.
He recognizes it as the pair he is wearing.
Voices call out to him as he reads the note.
Ignorant to the sounds around him, he turns and runs.
He needs to tell her that he loves her.
Because, he remembers, he never found the chance to.
“I wish I could bubblewrap my heart,
In case I fall and break apart.
I'm not God, I can't change the stars.
You're standing in moonlight,
But you're black on the inside.
Who do you think you are to cry?”
