Remember me? | SM

Chapter 2.

Shawns POV:

Me and aaliyah were watching tv. Laur just left and I decided to hang with my family. I'm so glad i am back, i really miss them when im off in tour. There used to be someone who i missed alot... i would cry myself to sleep at night for but she doesn't matter anymore.

"Shawn did you see who moved in next door today?" My mom smiled as she walked into the room with my dad.
"Who moved in?" I asked.
"Reece! She's back!" She smiled. Aaliyah squealed with excitement.

"OH MY GOD! Mom can we see her?! Pleaseee??" She says.
"Shawn bud say something..." my dad says.

I couldn't say anything. How could i? She left out of the blue and now she's back. But i guess its hypocritical of me to judge her. I did leave her without a goodbye. Dick head move I know but its hard to say good bye to someone you love so much.

"Why is she back?" I asked.
"Honey... her dad passed away... she was forced to move back," my mom said.
"W-wait.. jason is dead?!" I gasp.
"He died of a heart attack." Dad whispered. They were best friends.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?!" I shout.
"Shawn... we couldn't... I didn't even get my head around it!" My dad said sitting down.
"I should've been there for her dad... she's my best friend, well she was," i sigh.

"Tomorrow they might come over, so we might see them then," mom said as she sat next to me.

I couldn't get my head around it. Jasons dead. He was like a 2nd dad to me... he showed me so many amazing songs. He was partially the reason i live music... now he is gone.

"When is the funeral?" I ask.
"We dont know.. its up to reece," my mom said rubbing my back.

I get up from the couch and go upstairs.
I close my door and look out the window seeing the lights were turned off. But her fairy lights were on.

The first time in 2 years I've seen them on. I remember coming home from an event in America asking where reece was, no one answered. Then mom told me that she left.

My heart stopped in that moment. I looked at my mom and shook my head.
I remember crying so much that night. Looking outside the window that night, seeing the fairy lights off just hit me that she was actually gone.

I shake my head and walk towards my bed. I lay down and just think. I turn to face my nightstand. I see the photofame facing downwards. I grab it and look atbthe pictures.

I smile. It was of me and reece when we first met. I remember feeling so much that day! So happy, so safe, so complete... we both were making goofy faces and laughing.

I sigh. I love my life right now! Me living my dream and having the time of my life but if i could, for one day i would do anything to go back to that day when me and reece meeting. To feel that completeness.

I never understood why i felt how i did when i was with her, and i still dont. I dont get why my heart always craves her.

I honestly dont.

My eyelids get heavy and i start to drift asleep. I hear laughs and giggles in my head. Reece. She's all i can think about.

Why can't i get her out of my head? Why?

(The next day)

I wake up to my alarm going crazy and my mom yelling.
I get up and feel something fall iff my chest.

"Shit," i curse. I must've fell asleep with the photo frame on my chest.
I get ready and go downstairs.
"Yes!" I ask.

"Reece and her mom is coming today for dinner! And i have nothing to cook! Could you go out and get some food?" She smiled.
"Okay, aaliyah you want to come?" I ask.
