AN: The Sleeping with Sirens new album Feel is so amazing. My favorites so far are Free now, Low, All these things, and Sorry. You can find it on the Rise Records official page on YouTube, I really think it's worth a listen. This album has been getting lots of hate and although people have their opinions, some people just need to fuck off and enjoy the music. Please don't bash SWS at least not on this story. Thank you xoxo- T

I woke up to a soft tune floating in the loud silence of the hospital room. Laying next to me was Max, curled up, comfy, and thankfully for me, still asleep. I reached for my phone which was the source of the sound. It was a really pretty song with a nice melody and was so intriguing I couldn't help but not turn it off of the Pandora app on my phone. I was still a little confused though I wasn't listening to music and I don't think Max was either considering he was passed out next to me in my hospital bed. I took a closer look at my glowing Iphone on the nightstand beside me, it was a Sleeping with Sirens song. My eyes widened.

New hit single: Sorry, read the title.

 

I've been thinking lately
About you and me
And all the questions left unanswered
How it all could be
And I hope you know
You never left my head
And if I ever let you down
I'm sorry

The song closed and I burst into tears not for Kellin,but I cried for him as well. I cried for the nights with Kian,this song just triggered all the demons I'd been trying to drown in cuts, burns, and In my own self destruction. I picked up my phone and tried calling Kian, even though he's been long dead, it made sense in my head at the time. "It's Kian, uh leave a message aha" his voicemail was one thing that was still the same from before his death. I flung my phone at the wall with a splat sending two skinny nurses scurrying into the room with concern. Max also had awoken with sleepy eyes and a foggy memory.

"What's going on?" A timid nurse asked.

"WHAT'S NOT?! EVERYTHINGS FALLING APART. CAN"T YOU SEE?!" I shook my hands with emphasis.

The nurse looked startled as did Max. He rubbed my back and tried to soothe me, but it was to late.

"I think you should go," my voice a horse whisper. He gazed at me intently

"But-" He started

"No, leave right now,"

His cheeks reddened as he leave with a sigh. After he left, I was told to pack up all my stuff by a bulkier nurse draped in a white uniform. When I refused to move, she threw my bag at me and ordered me to get up immediately. I complied and briskly grabbed a few things and hopped into a town car that was parked out front for me. I was happy finally I was able to go home to the state with my friends... Never mind I hadn't had any real ones since the first grade. I let my body be held up with the leather interior of the car. After about one agonizing hour in the car, we finally pulled up to a beautiful brick building too small to be an airport. The driver stepped out and grabbed my luggage from the truck and escorted my out into the summery air.

"Uh this isn't the airport, sir"

"I know,"

"Then what are we doing here? Where are we?"

"This is the Parkway Mental Hospital, Kay"

My head spun. No, no, I repeated in my head or out loud, I couldn't tell. This was a joke, it must be.
