SBG Oneshots For The Soul [REWORKING]

I Miss You | [Taylor]

I open my eyes, as I look around the bright room.

It's hurting my eyes.

Where am I?

Why does everything feel so unfamiliar.

I look around again, this time, I noticed that I'm in some kind of thing.

Bars were surrounding me.

Where am I, and why am I alone?

I hate this.

Why do I feel alone.

I don not like this.

My eyes start to water, as I let out a sob, then a cry. A cry, for someone to notice.

Anyone.

Please.

Then I felt myself being lifted up, as I felt a warm presence.

I looked up, and saw someone.

He looked unfamiliar, but I didn't care.

I snuggled to the warmth, as I felt his finger wiping away the tears running down my face.

It feels... nice

I want this to last longer.

But it all changed.

Mom was crying.

There were tears running down her eyes.

I do not want to see her like this.

Tyler was holding my hand tightly. As if he didn't want me to move away from him.

I do not want to see him in distress.

And dad.. Where was he?

Why are we in a hallway?

Why are we here?

Mom is crying,

Tyler is shaking,

And dad is nowhere to be seen.

Where is dad?

I want him.

A man with a coat approached mom.

He shook his head, and mom instantly bursted into tears, kneeling down on the floor.

Tyler was the opposite. But I could tell he was fighting back to do the same.

What was happening?

Why was a man here?

Why are we here?

Then it all clicked.

I now knew why dad was not here.

It's because he's gone.

I felt myself shaking too.

Tears welled up my eyes.

I didn't want this.

Not this feeling again.

It felt like I was a baby again.

Alone.

Cold.

Afraid.

I just want someone.

And now I kneel down in front of dad's tombstone.

Mom was holding me close.

Tyler was standing behind us.

I cry helplessly, letting the rain hit us.

I want the soothing words he used to tell me.

I want his comfort.

I want his hugs.

I want him.

I want him to see me and Tyler grow up.

I want him to see me become a mechanical engineer.

Like how I used to promise him that I'll become one.

I want him to see Tyler become a baseball player.

Like how he and Tyler used to play it all the time.

I want him to be with mom.

Like how he makes her smile and laugh everytime.

I want his touch.

Like how he used to hold me so close and gently.

I just wished that I said I love him sooner.

Please.

I'll be a better child.

I'll help mom.

I'll help Tyler.

I'll clean everything up.

I'll study harder.

Please.

Bring my dad back.

I'll do anything.

Please listen to my cries.

My throat hurts.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of crying.

My cries are useless.

Because it would just be heard, and not listened.

...

Dad.

I miss you.
