Sutton's POV
Miles is lying on the couch with his phone in his hands. He's watching a video. "Sutton, you should watch Saving Ryder's video on YouTube. It's worth checking it out."
Why does everyone want me to watch it? First Mom calls about it. Now my brother is watching it.
"Why do I have to watch it?"
He looks over the back of the couch towards me. "Ryder left you a message at the beginning of the video. We know a lot of the things here is dedicated to you."
"Fine, I'll be in my room watching it. Then I'll get ready for dinner." Walking down the hall I head to my room. I open the door and head towards the bed.
Climbing on the bed I grab my iPad and go onto YouTube. I type Saving Ryder into the search engine and wait for the video page to load up.
Once it's up I click on the one that was recently made. I press play and it begins.
"Hey, Everyone. It's Saving Ryder. Today we put on a concert in a place that's close to our hearts. Thanks to a friend of ours. We know she's going to love this place when she sees it in person. However, since she can't at the moment we brought it to her in a video." He looks directly into the camera. "Sutton, love. This is for you."
Aw, he's still so sweet.
The band comes onto the screen and it shows the Angel on the lawns of the Tower of Pisa. He starts to sing into the microphone.
"We were kids when we first met,
Playing in the backyard like kids do,
A boy & girl,
Who became best friends.
I remember that day.
Ryder and I met when we were in kindergarten. We were seated next to each other a friendship formed right away.
Our friendship grew stronger,
We fell in love,
We were each other's first,
I hoped it would be the last too.
It's going to be the last. When I hav enough courage to see you again.
Not over you,
I'll never be over you,
You own my heart & soul,
I belong to you
& you belong to me.
We belong to each other.
All of a sudden everything changes,
We're not kids anymore,
But two teenagers,
Making a decision about their lives.
This one decision was the right thing.
I thought we were on the same,
But it looks like we weren't.
Something changed & you wanted something else.
I got mad and let you go.
Yes, he did. But, I forgave him for it right away. I happened to be the one to throw something at him without giving him a heads up.
Not over you,
I'll never be over you,
You own my heart & soul,
I belong to you,
& you belong to me.
Letting you go was my biggest regret,
I wake up alone,
Wondering what you're doing?
Please tell me you miss me?
I miss you, too, Ryder.
I miss you,
And the way you're hair smelled of roses,
I'm alone when I'm surrounded with friends,
My mind drifts to you all the time.
Mine does too.
Not over you,
I'll never be over you,
You own my heart & soul,
I belong to you,
& you belong to me.
I told you if you left I would hate you,
That's a lie,
I'm a broken man,
Who fell for a woman,
Who owns my heart & soul.
You own mine too.
Please come back,
I'm on my knees begging,
But you don't hear my calls,
Cause you're out in the world.
I'm sorry I couldn't hear you.
Not over you,
I'll never be over you,
You own my heart & soul,
I belong to you,
& you belong to me.
Where did everything go so wrong?
Why does my heart ache?
Are you coming home?
Do you still love me?
Yes, I still love you.
There's so many questions,
That goes unanswered,
I have one thing to say,
Please come back to me."
This is my favourite song of there's. It's normally on repeat when I go for run.
"It's hard getting out of bed,
You took everything when you left,
I'm a shell of myself,
Who's trying to break free.
I need to break free,
From the thoughts of you,
& what you're doing,
Why is it hard to move on from you.
It's hard to move on when you've met your end game.
It's a beautiful day,
& I sit on the beach,
Watching the sunrise,
& think it's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing.
Watching the sunrise will be a nice thing to do with him. Once we come face to face again.
The sunrise brings a new day,
It will help me move on from you,
The colours of the sky reminds me that anything can happen,
Today I'm going to get my shit together.
I'm going to enjoy a new day,
Do something with my life,
Become who I'm meant to be,
& leave things in the past.
It's a beautiful day,
& I sit on the beach,
Watching the sunrise,
& think it's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing.
People are falling in love,
People are getting engaged,
People are getting married,
People are having babies.
That's everything I want to have with Ryder.
While I'm sitting on the beach,
Waiting for a new day to arrive,
One that will be brighter,
Then the last couple of days.
It's a beautiful day,
& I sit on the beach,
Watching the sunrise,
& think it's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing.
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise,
It's all about catching the next sunrise,
That brings a new day,
Ending the previous.
Let's get together,
& celebrate a new day,
Here's a toast,
To a new day."
I want to toast to a new day with him.
It's a beautiful day,
& I sit on the beach,
Watching the sunrise,
& think it's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing.
It's time for us to go,
& leave the beach,
While the sun rises higher in the sky,
Showing us it's a beautiful day.
Sunrise,
It's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing,
That we're lucky to see."
After the song is over I get off YouTube and head to the bathroom. I strip off my clothes and climb into the shower. I shave my legs and underarms. Before washing my hair and body.
Turning the shower off I step out and grab the towel from the wrack. I wrap it around my body and head back to my bedroom.
I go through the cupboard and grab a dress and heels. Since we're going out to a club after dinner I might as well put some effort into what I am wearing.
I'm not going out to pick anyone up. Sometimes making yourself look pretty makes you feel like it.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Can you give me five minutes, Miles?"
"Okay," he calls through the bedroom door.
Putting a aqua dress on it sits above my knees with material that hangs down at the front and back. And pair them off with silver heels. It has a few studs on the left hand side.
Quickly I apply some make up and grab my purse from the nightstand.
