He looked at me, he looked into my eyes, the ones that had given him hope. He pulled me into a hug and cried, his hand was behind my head and he buried his head into my shoulder. I let a single tear fall, it had been 3 years since we've seen each other.
I had found what I had lost, I had found my family.

"So," Nathan began as he set a cup of tea in front of me, "Where do you live? "
"A couple blocks down, I'd say about 10 or so.."
"Really? We could've been neighbours." he said making a pouty face.
I laughed and marveled at his loft, it was expensive, or so I could tell by its looks.
“What do you work as?”
“Well, before Caleb died, we made music in secret, here.”
He said reaching on the table and handing me a CD in a case with DISCLOSURE written on it with permanent marker.
“Wow, this seems legit.”
“It is, I'm working with a man named Jimmy Napes next week. Also my biggest idol ever! ”
“Beyonce?” I said rolling my eyes,
“No the other,”
I thought for a second, then I remembered,
“Sam Smith.” I said neutrally,
“Yes! He has inspired me so much! I can't wait to work with him, this is such a great opportunity! Isn't it?”
“Sure is kiddo, it sure is.”
“What about you?” he asked eagerly
I almost choked on my tea,
“Well, I uh, I have two jobs.”
“What?! That's twice the income!”

Oh he had so much to learn.

“In a bar on 6th street and with Sam Smith..”
“What?!”

He said practically jumping out of his seat startling me.

“Yeah, we met at the bar I work at. I sang there that night.”
“He fell for your voice didn't he? I wouldn't blame him, you are uber talented Sophia. ”
“Haha,”
We sat in silence for a while
“You know Caleb's death anniversary is tomorrow, are you going to pay your respects? ”
“Absolutely, you?”
“Ever since Caleb's funeral, I vowed to never step foot in a cemetery ever again.”
“Well, I go every year, so do mum and pop, but they only leave flowers. ”
“Better than nothing, it make me so sick, they never valued him when he was still around, and they didn't even suffer as much as we did!"
“Nate, calm down, Caleb wouldn't have wanted a feud,”
“I know, I know, I'm sorry. ”
“Its okay, at least you confessed."

“So you've got a mate?” I asked leaning forward.
“Ive got friends, I do have a girlfriend named 'Celeste Brooks'. She's from Cambridgeshire,  England just like pop. Plus, she is the most beautiful woman to ever walk this planet. ”
“Oh really?” I said punching his arm playfully.
“What about you? Any one night stands?”
“You mean empty sex? Yes, and it was bad, it ended bad.”
“Oh dear God, please don't tell me you're pregnant. ”
“What? No, shut the hell up.”
“Really? I wanted to be an uncle!”

It was 2:00 in the morning, I was preparing myself to leave until Nate found my phone,
“Hey, who's Sam?”
“Who else?”
I collected my phone from him and began to exit,
“He loves you Sophia, you just can't really see it yet, but he'll come around, you'll see.”
After that we exchanged numbers said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.

Maybe he did love me, but if he did, then he'd have to confess.
