Spencer Charnas One Shots

Bonus V. Separate Ways [pt. 2]

"This is an oldie but a goodie," I announced through the microphone with a smile. I was going to sing Separate Ways. Ever since high school, my partner and I decided I'd put it under my name with him featuring. Sadly, I had lost contact with him.

I was going to sing the whole song by myself. I had been practicing for this, but I felt like I was going to mess up. I hadn't sung this by myself before. I nodded to the band behind me. The music played, and as I took a deep breath to sing, I heard a familiar voice.

"Here we stand..."

* Years Ago *

"I got in!" I yelled, looking over to my boyfriend. His face was wide with a happy expression. I ran over and jumped into his arms.

"I'm so proud of you baby," he whispered to me, pressing his lips to my cheek. I smiled and sat my feet down, still embracing Spencer. "I got in too."

I gasped, "We're going together!?"

"No, babe.." Spencer's face drooped. My smile soon turned into a frown. "They didn't accept me, but I got in at another good music school."

"How far..?" I asked quietly.

"1,456 point 3 miles." My eyes slowly drifted down as I heard how far apart we'd be. "Babe, it'll be okay. We have all summer. And the rest of the school year!"

"And what about after that?" I asked.

"We'll figure it out, okay?"

* 5 Months Later *

"So.. We both leave this month.." I brought up the subject on a cool summer night. Spencer and I laid on an air mattress in the back of his truck, staring up at the sky. It was a beautiful night, the stars shining bright.

"That's okay." he reassured, taking my hand in his. I smiled and moved closer to him, laying my head on his chest. "No matter how far apart we are."

"We already agreed that we'd break up," I said to him.

"Then lets spend every second we can together." Spencer told me. I smiled and for a second, everything was quiet. A thought ran past my mind and I quickly sat up. Spencer looked confused, but I turned to him with a soft blush already on my face.

"Why don't we.. you know.." I paused for a moment before finally mustering up the courage, "Have sex?" Spencer sat up, his eyes wide. I couldn't tell if he thought it was a good idea, but when he tackled me, shoving my back onto the mattress and him on top of me, I figured out the answer.

"I thought you'd never ask." Spencer smiled and kissed me. I was already excited.

* Two Years Later *

I opened my phone and looked at the contact that I haven't texted in what felt like years. The last time we texted was two years ago when we both got to our new dorms. I typed in a 'hey', but then I just stared at it. "What wrong, hon?" my roommate, Bridget, asked. I'm glad she applied and got a room with me.

"Spencer. We haven't spoke for two years." I sighed and deleted the message, putting my phone face down. "I would text him, but.."

"But?"

"He has a girlfriend."

"Well screw him then."

"I'm not mad at him. She's very pretty and I'm glad he's happy. I just miss him. We agreed to break up but everything's just catching up with me now," I told her. Bridget sat up from her laying position and walked to my bed, sitting down. She took my hand in hers.

"Well, you knew this would happen. Right now lets just focus on getting into college next year. It's almost finals and we have to focus on receiving our associates," Bridget spoke to me calmly. I squeezed her hand gently and smiled. I guess all the stress was just getting to me.

* Three Years Later *

I sat under the large tree in my backyard. I tapped my pencil against the notebook I had in my hand. I was trying to write a new song. I had recently got signed to a studio and to be fully involved I have to write a new song and they'll help me record and publish. If it goes good, I'll be accepted.

Right now my mind was all over the place. I had to get this in, in two days. I kept turning to the page I had with Separate Ways but nothing was coming to mind. I wanted to write something with pure, raw emotion. My other songs always ended up in the drafts. I had to create something new. Something fun.

I picked up my phone and pressed on the contact. I knew nothing would happen — no one would pick up. I put it on speaker and let it ring. Just the dial tone came up, not even a voicemail.

Dial tone..

"That's it! Dial tone!" I shouted to myself and began writing down lyrics.

* Present *

"Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two.."

I turned around to the darkness of the stage and looked around. I couldn't spot him. The verse finished and I pulled the mic off of its stand.

"Feeling that it's gone
Can't change your mind."

I sang along, glancing at the crowd and back to the stage. A spotlight turned on and I saw Spencer. I couldn't sing, I was frozen. "If we can't go on to survive the tide, love divides."

I put the mic to my mouth and watched Spencer walk towards me.

"Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you"

*

After the song, I couldn't help but to jump into Spencer's arms. He held my thighs as I hugged him tightly. I haven't seen him in so long. As that was my last song, the crowd cheered. Spencer started walking off stage and I jumped out of his arms when we were backstage.

"How are you here?! How did you find me?! How did you get on stage?!" I asked multiple questions, the excitement inside of me pouring out.

"Well, my band and I came to surprise you. I bought tickets to the show as soon as I could. And they kinda just let me through," Spencer answered my three questions with a smile. I threw my arms around him again and he hugged back. I could tell his grip loosened and I pulled away. I turned around to see his girlfriend.

"Hi! I'm Y/n," I spoke and walked over to her, opening my arms to give her a short hug.

"Yeah, I know who you are. You dated Spencer in high school."

Uh oh. Looks like this bitch wants to cause problems.
