My days without Haley got longer. What made the weight of the baggage heavier was knowing I had to take Louisa on a date now. Which is in fact what Haley wanted, after all. I wanted it to be Haley. I wanted to take her out to buy her a new dress she could spin around in all night with the lights down low. I wanted her to kiss me in the moonlight and smile her imperfectly perfect little smile. I wanted to be able to take her home with me and help her take her dress off and just cuddle up in bed and talk about everything from Garfield the cat to Hannah Montana. Haley was my person. She had my heart, she had my everything. I wanted to marry her.

My house felt much bigger and less of a home to me anymore without any company. I sat on the couch and stared at the ceiling. I wasn't doing anything. Hell, I probably wore the same clothes 3 days straight. I was just a mess going through this. She was the first person I ever felt real love with.

I got up and made my way through my large living room. I poured a glass of water from my faucet in the kitchen and took a small sip. Sun rays beamed through the curtains, begging to be opened again. I slowly opened them a little, looking outside. I turned on the radio and let it play as I sipped and watched outside. It was all fine, and I was even considering going outside today. That was until they played the one song I did not want to hear.

"Next up is a song climbing it's way up the charts. Zedd and Foxes, what a perfect musical pair," the man on the radio gushed. "Do you think there's any chemistry? I've heard rumors. I think there's definitely a click between them. Could just be me though." I looked down at the ground, running a hand through my hair. "Alright enough talk here's Zedd featuring Foxes in Clarity."

The song began playing. My heart dropped low in my chest. I let a tear slip from my eye before throwing my cup into the sink with a clenched fist. I shoved my radio off the counter and onto the ground.
