With You

•22

Just let it die with no goodbyes
Details don't matter, we both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes it'd be like that, baby, yeah
Now every time I see you
I pretend I'm fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby, I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don't forget about
Late nights, playin' in the dark
And wakin' up inside my arms
Boy, you'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes, you still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us
: Don't Forget About Us by Mariah Carey

                        Kyan P.O.V.

              "I've been overthinking. I knowwww I've been dranking, but. My mind always ends up here. You've been thinking too. And I see you're making moves," I sang as I strummed the guitar. My heart felt heavy.

             My appointment is in a few hours. It would be my first time seeing Jeremiah since the big blow up, and I'm super nervous about it. So all morning, I've been singing different songs on the guitar. Most of them were a little more upbeat than this, and now I'm just singing about... us honestly. This song basically sums up how I've been feeling perfectly.

             "I don't know 'bout you, but Imma try and do what's righttttttt for us. I see you being shady, but I'll forgive you baby. If you say that you want me to. True that I still got doubts, trynna figure you out. But lately I— been wondering. Tell me in you're still down. Yeah I need to know now. You can't keeeeepppp me wondering," I sang softly.

            "Where do we goooooo? I want you closeeeee. And I. Need you to know that I- don't know myself. If I want someone else, tell me do you wanna let me go." I stayed quiet for a moment then resumed strumming the guitar. "Tell me is this, all in my head? All in my mind? Where do we go from here? Will we surviveeeeeee?" I sang out. Then I heard a noise. I looked up and saw KJ bouncing K3 in his arms.

               "Did I disturb you guys?" I asked. He shook his head no.

           "No. Your voice accompanies the guitar well," he shrugged. "You should come to the studio with me."

              "I have a doctors appointment in a bit."

             "Yeah in two hours."

              "You just gone leave Layla here with K3 by herself?" I asked him.

              "There's a studio in my house Kyan. Lord pregnancy brain got you twisted."

                 "I knew that," I muttered. Then I got up and followed him to the studio which I vaguely remember. Damn pregnancy brain is kicking my ass. I sat down at the soundboard and he handed me K3.

"Let's record something with that beat," he said.

               "Okay," I mumbled bouncing K3. "So do I just start singing?"

               "Yeah, I'll turn the recording on and start playing, then you can come in whenever you feel comfortable."

               "And I can sing anything?" I asked. He nodded. Then he suddenly began playing catching me off guard. "Is it recording?" I asked. He nodded and I noticed that he wasn't playing the exact song that I was singing, but kind of like a less upbeat version of it.
