Split

Split: Finale

{welcome to the end}

As we drive back to the Team Crafted house, I rested my head on my shoulderand watched the rain fall. Everything was gloomy and depressing. Nothing can make me smile right now.

"So Mitch," Jerome says. "You want to make a Hunger Deans video?" The car stops at a red light and Jerome turns to me, waiting for an answer. I look back at him and open my mouth, but nothing comes out. It closes and I shake my head. "Alright buddy." Jerome sees the stoplight turn green and shifts himself back into a proper position.

{time lapse}

"C'mon Mitch, go inside and sleep." Louise whines opening the passenger door for me. I've been in the car watching the rain pour for about, well, almost an hour since we got back. I sigh and exit the car. Louise was holding an umbrella for me, but i decline and walk passed her.

I run upstairs before anyone could say hi to me and head to my room leaving some water covering the floors. When i reach my room, I place my forehead on the door and close my eyes. After a few moments, I lift my forehead and open the door with my head still facing the ground. I enter my room and close the door behind me, then lock it.

I stare at my room soaking in the emptiness I felt everytime I don't see Sydnee. I look around at everything, then at the guitar resting on the wall near the window. A faint smile starts across my face when I remember the

day she gave that to me. Sydnee was also the one who helped start my guitar hobby.

I start walking towards, but stop infront of a mirror. My body turns to face the mirror and I observe who I'm looking back at. He looks like the guy I saw when Team Crafted split up. Tears streaming down my cheeks, the redness of my eyes, my hair looking like a tornado just came by.

After all the observing, I continue making my way to the guitar. I pick it up by the neck and hold on with a tight grip. It's a glossed, wooden acoustic guitar with that tiny cursive handwriting Sydnee left for me.

Sitting on the edge of my bed, I place the guitar on its side and strum a C chord. I look back up at the window and look at the surroundings. Night was covering the sky, with the moon covered by the gray clouds pouring rain from beneath them.

My fingers start to play a random song and I sing with it.

Forever can never be long enough me.

To feel like I've had long enough with you.

Forget the world now, we won't let them see.

But there's one thing left to do.

Now that the weight has lifted.

Love has surely shifted my way.

Marry me.

Today and everyday.

Marry me.

If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe.

Say you will.

mmm...

Say you will.

mmm...

(Song: Marry Me by Train)

Before I could continue Jerome and Louise enter my room in their pajamas. "We heard you singing," Louise starts. "Do you mind if we could listen?" My fingers were still strumming away and I shake my head. "Not at all." I try to smile, but I'm pretty sure it didn't show.

"Buddy, this is too, well sad, I guess." Jerome stops me from playing anymore. "Try this one." He takes out his iPhone and plugs in headphones. Jerome then taps Music and presses a song. He then places the headphones in my ears and clicks play.
