strings of my heart

can't stand the distance

Alec's point of view

Two years passed since I last seen Evrin, I had found out that she moved out of her home after talking with Emily.

I knew that she was probably dealing with certain things but I wasn't sure if she would be interested in seeing me again but I didn't want to cause any issues with her.

I learned that her brother would be here for a concert and I decided to buy a backstage ticket in hopes of seeing her again.

I made my way to the backstage area and seen her brother stepping onto the bus as the security guard escorted me to the bus since the ticket included a meet and greet even though my intentions weren't to meet the guys.

Brantley: you again... please tell me you didn't come to ruin the show?

Alec: no I was actually hoping I could see your...

Evrin: Brantley here's the list you asked... Alec?

Alec: hey...

Evrin: what are you doing here?

Alec: I promise I didn't sneak in this time, I bought a v.i.p ticket and I was hoping you and I could...

Brantley: come on guys, let's give them some privacy. Thanks for the list kiddo.

Evrin: you're welcome.

I watched as they stepped off the bus and I felt her grab my hand as we walked to the back of the bus, she shut the bedroom door and sat on the bed beside me.

Evrin: I thought you never wanted to see me again?

Alec: I wanted it to be that way but these past two years made me realize how much you truly mean to me.

Evrin: I don't want to come between you and your dreams of making it big Alec, I...

Alec: I thought I needed music to make me happy but losing you made me realize that my happiness was being by your side...

Evrin: Alec I... I watched our friendship crumble into dust and you just come back like we never decided to go our separate ways, why?

Alec: I know that I've hurt you time and time again and I don't have any excuse for hurting you but I wouldn't be here if you weren't important to me...

Evrin: you're important to me too Alec but I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry...

Alec: I understand, I just wanted you to know that in person instead of sending it in a text message.

I stood up and began walking away from her when she called my name.

Evrin: Alec!

I turned around slowly and seen her quickly approaching me and felt her wrap her arms around my neck.

Evrin: I can't watch you walk away from me again, please stay with me. I need you.

Alec: whatever you want Rin, I'm not going anywhere.

Evrin: I don't want you leaving me ever again.

Alec: I will always be here for you.

Evrin: I love you.

Alec: I love you too.

I carried her back to her bed and held her until she fell asleep, I knew she would probably be sad when she woke up and didn't see me by her side but I was determined to find my way back to her eventually.
