Seth's Point Of View:

"Ok guys, I'm really excited for our last concert, today!" Mr. Hunt said to us, excitedly. We all smiled in agreement. We were going to have a great concert. The bell rang and everyone got up. I walked towards the door and saw Eddie standing there. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I gave him a quick kiss and we held each other's hand as we left the room.

He didn't care who found out about him being gay, since he had me. I got a glance at Violet and Cristina staring at me. I couldn't tell why though. Suddenly, I got torn away from Eddie and was being pulled into a classroom. I turned to see Lily.

"I'll catch up, babe." I told him. He nodded his head and walked away. I turned to Lily.

"Why did you pull me away from my boyfriend?" I asked her, sternly. She gave me a certain offended look.

"What about Sky?!" She yelled at me. My face had a sad look, but it turned into anger.

"He is the one who left me! It doesn't seem like he is coming back, and if he does I'm... I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!" I said, turning to leave. Lily was to shocked to speak. She then grabbed my arm.

"He is going to come back..." She said in a small voice. I looked at her as she walked by me and left, avoiding my gaze. I felt sad at what I just said. If Sky did come back, I wouldn't know what to do.... I love him, but he just left me....

Thinking about him was making me hurt. I left the classroom and headed to my next period.

Sky's Point Of View:

I looked at the clothes I had taken with me, and I started to decide what to wear for the concert. Well, to be honest, I was mainly deciding on what to wear for Seth. I needed to look good when I'm apologizing, right?

I looked around and tried to pick the best thing I could find. Sam walked in and gave me a concerned look.

"Wow, where are you going?" He asked me. I slapped my forehead.

"I forgot to tell you, didn't I?"

"Yup." He chuckled at me.

"I'm going to the orchestra concert..." I whispered to Sam.

"Are you sure you want to go?" He asked as I nodded.

"Can you take me?" I looked at him, pleadingly.

He smiled and nodded. I gave him a small smile, and picked up what I was going to wear. He came up and took it from my hand. He just shook his head and gave me something else.

"Well... Okay..." I whispered.

"I just saved you." He stated as he walked out the room. I just shrugged my shoulders and put on the clothes. 'Just gotta wait thirty more minutes, then I see Seth!' I yelled in my head. I couldn't tell if I was excited or nervous.

Just kidding, I'm nervous.

Seth's Point Of View:

I looked at my clock and it was thirty minutes till the concert.

"Shit! I have to be there in five minutes!" I yelled as Emma and my mom walked into my room. I jumped off my bed, and I started putting the rest of my uniform on.

"Seth... we hate to ask... but have you heard from Sky?" My mom asked. I just shook my head. I didn't tell anyone about the call I had with him and his 'friend.' My mom looked down, disappointed.

I got a text and I looked at it.

'I'm here.'

It was Eddie. He was ready to leave for the concert.

"I got to go..." I said, starting to leave. I brushed past them and went to my car. Eddie was standing by it. I kissed him and got into the drivers seat. We drove in silence, but it wasn't like me and Sky's type of silence.

It was uncomfortable.

We arrived to the school and Eddie went to the auditorium. I went to the orchestra room to set up. I walked in and saw Violet, Cristina, Amita, and Lily. I didn't go up to them. I just unpacked my cello and went to the stage. The rest of the orchestra eventually followed, and Mr. Hunt started tuning us.

I scanned the crowd to find S- Eddie... I meant Eddie.... I found Eddie sitting close to the front and he waved to me. I smiled back and sat up to look more professional.

The final concert has begun.

Mr. Hunt raised his arms as we got ready to play. We played through all of our music in, what seemed like, ten seconds. I was upset when we had to leave the stage, but at least we did good for our last concert of the year. Another orchestra went to the stage and started to play. I sat next to Eddie and we watched them. I looked back around and noticed someone sitting where me and Sky officially started dating.

"What are you looking at?" I heard Eddie whisper to me. I just shrugged.

"Nothing..." He smiled and grabbed my hand.

"Want to go have 'fun' in a classroom?" He asked, I gave him a strange look.

"Not really..." He shrugged to me.

"Tell me if you do..." He cooed.

'Don't hold your breath,' I cooed in my head.

After an hour, the concert was over. Me and Eddie walked out of the auditorium and I went up to Violet, Amita, Cristina, and Lily. Violet gave me a disgusted look and I snapped.

"Look Violet, you can't say what I'm doing is wrong! Sky left me! He didn't want to be with me! What HE did was wrong! He disappeared instead of letting me help! Yes, I'm dating Eddie now, but that doesn't mean I'm cheating on Sky! If I ever see him again, which I highly doubt, I don't think I could EVER forgive him! He practically crushed my heart when he left!" They all stared at me in shock, including Eddie. Most of their eyes moved from me to something behind me.

"I...I didn't m-mean to...." Someone behind me said in a small voice. I turned to see Sky, standing there holding flowers. A couple tears fell from his eyes. My heart dropped. 'What have I done....'

More tears fell, and I took a step towards him.

"Sky... wait... I didn't—" He still didn't make eye contact. He dropped the flowers and ran out of the school. I looked at the flowers and saw a note. I picked it up.

To: Seth
From: Sky

Seth, I'm sorry for everything I've done. I know it
must've hurt you, and it hurt me too, but I needed time
to think. I have been trying to hold myself together,
but it seems like after one thing fixes, another thing breaks.
I didn't leave because I hated you. I left because I loved you,
and I didn't want you to see me the way that I was.
I thought you would never look at me the same. I have
been staying with my brother, and I was able to fix myself again.
I didn't plan how long I was going to be gone, but I couldn't wait any
longer. I needed to talk to you again. I needed to be in your arms again.
I love you, and I will probably never stop loving you. I hope you
can forgive me.
-Sky

Tears flowed down my cheeks.

"Sky!" I went running for him, but I couldn't find him. I saw a car start driving by, and I saw Sky in the passenger seat.

"Sky?!" I yelled. He turned to me, and I could see the tears in his eyes. The car kept going. I ran into my car and started to follow him.

We are going to fix this. Together.
