Far Away But Close Together

One Last Song

I had finally got all of my stuff packed up... it was 11 pm and I was exhausted. Cody had just sat on my bed singing constantly.

"Well I think everything is packed and ready..." I told him, "thank you Codes."

He looked at me and said "What about your guitar?"

He winked and said "C'mon. Sit. Play. Sing. Just one last time before you leave tomorrow."

I leaned my head on his shoulder and played.

"Sing, angel. You're good. Just once." He told me.

"Sing what?" I asked him.

"Say by John Mayer. I'll play the guitar and sing with you too" He told me smiling.

CODY'S POV

I grabbed my phone and pressed record. I had to. I wanted to be able to hear her sing whenever I needed it.

AJ'S POV

"Take all of your wasted honor, Every little past frustration. Take all of your so called problems, better put em in quotations. Say what you need to say. Say what you need to say. Say what you need to say. Say what you need to say..."

I loved singing with him. Especially this song. It was so beautiful. I loved the lyrics... and I loved Cody's voice in this song. It was perfect. When we finished the song, he had tears streaming down his face.

"Cody what's wrong?" I asked him.

"You are so beautiful when you sing. You're so passionate and your voice is gorgeous. I am going to miss this so much..."

"Me too... Well at least we can do this over FaceTime..." I told him hugging him.

"I know... It's not the same though..." he told me.

"I know..." I said starting to cry too. He just picked me up and held me in his arms.

"Cody I need to go get some sleep. You do too. I'll see you and the guys in the morning at the airport. Thank you for the best last night ever" I said kissing his cheek.

He smiled at me and crawled out of the window. I laid on my bed and just cried.

I didn't want to leave...
