{-Korbyn's POV-}
I watched as her head sank into my arms. Her blond hair brushing through my hands as I held her body close to mine... I can't believe it... She's gone!

I heard a car pull up. I saw the familiar black mustang that Hunter owned. Megan came running out of the passenger seat.

"HALEIGH NOOOOO!!!" She cried out. She rushed towards where I was holding her close. Why did this have to happen. Why her? Why not me??

"She.... She's gone!" I sobbed.

Megan looked at me straight in the eyes. I knew she deeply cared for her friend. Like how I deeply cared for her.

"I... I promised her I wouldn't let her get hurt! Why did fate....... Josh......." I sobbed more, bringing her head to my shoulder as I cried my hardest. By this time, Hunter. burst out of the car, running for Megan. Megan sobbed into his arms.

All I know is this nightmare is going to haunt me for all eternity. I let the love of my life die. It's my fault!

People started crowding the scene. I saw Lewis and Ryan. They looked at me. Lewis walked up to my girlfriend's lifeless body.

"Are you sure there's nothing we can do?..." He asked.

"I... I don't know..." I sobbed. I couldn't lose her... Even though I know I already did...

"Korbyn. We gotta go..." Hunter quivered.

"No!! I can't leave her side! Not yet!" I cried.

"Korbyn.... She's not coming back... There's nothing we can do....." Megan was trying to hold back her tears.

I couldn't believe this!!! Josh had to take the light from my life and he thinks he can get away with it?! Hell no! Not if it were up to me! I ran off to the hotel and cried into the pillow. The next thing I knew, I fell  asleep.

The next day.

I woke up. My eyes were swollen from crying. I went to go make some breakfast for myself when I got a message on my phone. It was a DM on Instagram. From Lewis Capaldi...

Found this on YouTube, figured you'd want to watch it. Check the description for a message at the end. It made me cry.

I clicked on the link. I found Haleigh's song.... Do You Remember. It was an audio. I did as Lewis said and checked the description. There was a link. The only thing that was in the description was that link.

I clicked the link. It lead to a private video... I clicked play... And what I saw made me cry. It was Haleigh as a fifteen year old girl!

"Hey guys. I'm probably not going to make this video public due to the fact that I don't think the world needs to see me get sappy about my relationship.. But if you're out there, Korbyn. I just want you to know that I love you so much! Ever since you left, I've been really lonely. You made me feel special when I felt like I was nobody. The day you told me you were leaving broke my heart. I miss you more and more every day.

I wrote a song about you. If it ever gets posted up here. This video you're watching will be in the description of that song. It's called Do You Remember. Even though it's hard to think about... But fate might not want us together. I'm doing everything in my power to get into contact with you.

I know this probably won't happen but I'm very paranoid about random stuff, but if I somehow and unexpectedly leave this earth, I just want you to know that everything has a purpose. Including demise. Just know if that were to ever happen, I will still be with you. Loving you from afar.

Thank you for being amazing, Korbyn!"

I swallowed the lump in my throat. I starred crying again. I can't believe it! She didn't just remember me... She thought about me! I collapsed to the floor, sobbing.

"HALEIGH WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU??!?!?!?!?!" I cried out on my knees. I couldn't believe it.... I lost the one I love... Because of Josh... I darted out of the house, crying.

I found myself a park bench, sat down, and sobbed. Suddenly. A little girl, looked about ten, ran up to me.

"What's wrong...." She asked.

"Nothing.... Nothing you'd understand..." I sniffled

"Wait... Are you Korbyn?" She asked.

"Yea... Wh-why?...." I stuttered. Then she came up into my ear and said

"Listen to me very closely... Pinch yourself."
