Tegan's P.O.V
October 2013

~~~

"Come on, focus Tegan!" Liam's voice comes through the headphones over my ears.

"Sorry," I smile, innocently at him.

Romeo and I are in the process of recording a the final song for our EP.

"Okay, let's try again." Liam nodded.

I am making it a bit difficult because I feel rather distracted and not like a singer today. Instead, I've beeb impersonating voices when it's my turn to sing.

"Take my hand, I'll teach you to dance.
I'll spin you around, won't let you fall down.
Would you let me lead?
You can step on my feet.
Give it a try, it'll be alright." I sing the notes and words correctly this time.

Liam has a relieved smile on his face. He gets rather drained from being in the studio loads.

"The room's hush, hush, and now's our moment.
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
We're doing this right.

'Cause lovers dance when they're feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it's all about us.
It's ah-ah-ah-ah-all about uh-uh-uh-uh-us.
And every heart in the room will melt.
This is a feeling I've never felt but, it's ah-ah-ah-all about us." Romeo and I sing together.

Romeo has written this song with our writer without me. I don't think it was being performed quiet his style, but it was still a lovely song.

"Great job guys!" Liam gives us a thumbs up.

"Dear me,

Today is October 28. Halloween is coming up rather soon.

Halloween.

When Oliver died.

I've let him slip my mind in these last few months with everything changing. I feel guilty doing these things without him. I promised myself he would live through me, but I don't reckon these are the things he'd want to be doing.

I believe he would've liked to travel the world though. I'll be certain to be more aware of touring from now on. Experience the places rather than just pass them by.

I guess I've packed up all our memories in a twee box and locked it away in the back of my mind. I always heard that the bad memories in your life cause the most pain. No one ever dared to mention the good memories. I guess because remembering good memories with someone who is no longer here, is practically unbearable.

Sometimes, while I'm trying to fall asleep, the old memories play through my head like video tapes. If I close my eyes hard enough and pretend well enough, they feel a bit new.

One whole year since Oliver's been gone.

That's petrifying.

It's petrifying I've lived three hundred sixty five days without him around. There's been days where he didn't even cross my mind. Likewise, there's days he fills every moment of my day.
