It was November 19th, a special date for a person who now found himself leaning against a tree in a corner of a forest where he used to go as a child. And that person's name was Terrence Afton...

°Terrence POV° Hello my name is Terrence and today is the birthday of a childhood friend who I always understood and who I always liked since we were kids. But he died because of me.

°Terrence OFF

° - Can you hear the silence?

- Can you see the dark?

- Can you fix the broken?

- You can feel...

- CAN YOU FEEL MY HEART?!

- I arrived .... - Terrence said entering and closing the door in sequence.
- Terrence - Called William and soon gaining his attention - I told you to get here at half past eight!

When looking at his father, he gave a little fright.because his father was up and he seems to have stayed up all night.

Terrence then looked at the clock that was behind his father. And then he spoke - It's eight thirty dad - he said looking back at his father.

- In the morning.

- Oh... Sorry then - Terrence said walking past him and going to his room.

- Won't you eat? William asked, turning and looking at the boy. - No - Terrence said going up the stairs and closing the door of his room.

Shortly after entering the room Terrence lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest, and then a memory he didn't want to see flashed through his mind.

ON reminder ×

There were two kids playing tag until one of the kids was in the middle of the track and a car was heading towards him. He was immobile because of fear. Until he heard a scream.

- TERRENCE!! Soon after he felt pushed to the other side of the sidewalk. When he sat down he saw in front of him his friend almost dead in front of him.

He ran to try to help him and his friend's last reaction was a calm and happy smile and his last words were...

- Don't blame Terry, you weren't to blame.

- But you were run over because of me! - shouted Terrence already crying for his friend

And then the boy spoke, already losing strength and smiling calmly:

- Don't cry... I'm just a freak...

Off memory×

When Terrence woke up he realized he was crying, so he got up and went to his closet and grabbed his guitar and sat back on the bed. And it started playing...

Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I'm swimming in a mirror

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Usually I put
Something on TV
So we never think
About you and me

But today I see
Our reflections
Clearly in Hollywood
Laying on the screen

You just need a better life than this
You need something I can never give
Fake water all across the road
It's gone now, the night has come, but

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

You can't fight it
You can't breathe
You say something so loving, but
Now I've got to let you go
You'll be better off in someone new
I don't wanna be alone
You know it hurts me too

You look so broken when you cry
One more and then I'll say goodbye

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

I just wonder what you're dreaming of
When you sleep and smile so comfortable
I just wish that I could give you that
That look that's perfectly un-sad

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Heat waves been faking me out

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

After playing, he put his guitar away and went downstairs to talk to his brothers.
