Chapter 18: Leave the memories alone

Ryder's POV:

I went upstairs to get a shower. It feels like it's been years since I've had a shower.

I sat my phone onto the iHome and pressed shuffle as Try Hard by 5 Seconds of Summer played.

I washed my body and my hair, as the song progressed.

I stepped out of the shower, wrapping my body into a towel and blow drying my hair.

I went to my wardrobe and looked at my options of what to wear.

I pulled on a pair of black basketball shorts and an over sized grey tank. I think it belongs to Wes.

I trugged downstairs where the guys were.

"We have to go for a meeting. We don't expect you to come, since you just got out of the hospital. Uh, there's food and stuff in the kitchen. There's a box of pizza from a few nights ago on the counter if you want that. I trust you here alone. Your medicine is on the counter. Take two of the pills, please stay strong and don't abuse it. Love you." Drew quickly said, kissing my forehead and they were off.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of pills and a glass of water. I was tempted to take more but, Drew trusted me. I took the two pills and walked into the living room.

I sat down on the couch and looked through the t.v. channels to find something that interested me.

I found my favorite childhood movie, Home Alone. I quickly chose that one and tuned in.

A commercial came on and I ran into the kitchen to get some snacks.

I grabbed a can of pepsi, popcorn, m&m's, and gushers. I grabbed the box of pizza and went back into the living room, just in time.

After about an hour, the movie was done and my garbage layed everywhere. I suddenly felt the urge to play the piano across the room.

I went over, sitting down on the bench and pressing the keys to the song Leave the memories alone by Fuel.

"So here I am with my thoughts of you

And this world I've left for me

Stoic faces when I think of you

And how I once believed

So now you call me, but you know I won't let you through

I've myself to decieve

So leave the memories alone

I don't want to see

The way it is, as to how it used to be

Leave the memories alone, don't change a thing

And I'll hold you here in my memory

So I find me in your garden now

A sad smile for the scene

And all the flowers that we planted now

Taken by the weeds

But in my minds eye, you know they still bloom for me

They stand tall there, in that summer breeze

Leave the memories alone

I don't want to see

The way it is, as to how it used to be

Leave the memories alone, don't change a thing

And I'll just hold you here in my memory

In my memory, yeah

So leave the memories alone

I don't want to see

The way it is, as to how it used to be

Leave the memories alone, don't change a thing

And I'll hold you in my memory

You'll never change

You'll never change

You'll never change

You will never change" I sang my heart out.

This song reminds me so much of my childhood it's insane. I used to listen to it all the time.

I sat on the bench for about five minutes before, I decided I needed a nap.

I layed down on the couch and let sleep fall over me.
