Lazarus lay on his bed as he thought of pretty much everything a graduating senior would think about. His greatest achievements so far, his greatest disappointments, all the fun times and the terrible ones as well. However, what was mostly on his mind was this, what he was going to do after graduating. He had already set up a band with Pandora and Conan, the three of them practicing hard for their debut after they all graduated. Lazarus in particular had planned to just skip going to a university for now so he could just focus on the band and one other thing. Now he was beginning to wonder how the three of them would do together. Would their band succeed, or fail to no prevail? Hopefully they would end up with some success, even if it was very little. He needed a way to provide for himself and one other person he hoped to bring ever closer into his life, Odessa.
The two lovers were going to be graduating soon, and Lazarus had been planning for a while to propose to Odessa when they did so. He had been practicing his proposal for weeks now, trying to make it perfect for his beautiful swan princess. It would be here before he even realized it, and then he would know for sure if Odessa wanted to spend the rest of their lives together or not. Maybe in the future the two could have children as well? However, that detail was way in the future. Right now he should focus on two things, getting the band started and proposing to Odessa.
With a small breath for air taken to clam himself some, Lazarus got off the bed and got on his knees, pulling out a shoe box from behind the comforter sheets that he had placed under the bed so Odessa wouldn't be able to find it whenever she came over. His hands then gently lifted the lid to reveal a box of lots of photos and trinkets, all having some sort of connection to Lazarus and Odessa that his girlfriend would remember easily. In the middle was a small blue box, closed so no one would be able to see what was inside. With care he lifted the box out and began to open it, revealing the engagement ring he had picked out for her. A black gold two ringed beauty with sapphires and delicate designs all over it. This was the perfect ring for Odessa, beautiful beyond compare like she was. Sure Odessa probably would of been modest and wanted just a single ring inside of the two ringed one he had gotten, but he couldn't bring himself to just do the one. He loved her more than anything else in this world, even his music meant nothing anymore if he didn't have Odessa.
The day was coming quickly where he would graduate, and hopefully everything would fall into place for the better for his band and hopefully his soon to be fiancee Odessa.
