Chapter 5: Daring to Remember

*Devan's POV*

You let me go.

You let me slip from your fingertips.

You had me.

You had my all.

I was yours.

You were mine.

Why?

Why did you allow this to happen to us?

They ripped me away.

I miss you.

Please.

Come find me.

I need you.

You need me.

I love you.

My eyes shot open. Beads of sweat collected on my nose and brow. My breath heaved my chest. Sweat stained the edges of my navy blue shirt.

That voice. I know that voice. Her sweet melody. Angelic hosts.

But who is the question. Who? I couldn't get it off my mind.

My mouth was dry. I looked at the foot of my bed wide eyed.

I shook my head lightly as I walked downstairs in the darkness for a glass of refreshing water.

Who is she?

*Hazel's POV*

I let you go.

I let you slip from my fingertips.

I had you.

I had your all.

You were mine.

I was yours.

Why?

Why did I allow this to happen to us?

They ripped you away.

I miss you.

Please forgive me.

I will find you.

I need you.

You need me.

I love you. So much.

I gasped as my eyes fluttered open. My hand covered my mouth.

Devan.

A tear slipped from my tired eye. I smiled underneath my hand.

The moonlight filtered through the moving trees, into my room flooding my room with the grey light.

My feet hit the hardwood and I shuffled down to the kitchen for a glass of water.

I kept thinking of Devan. That boy was in the back of my mind ever since we were torn from eachother. It hurts to think of him. My heart shatters to a million pieces when I think of him. It kills me to think he might not remember me.

The final 6 had just been announced for AGT and Collins had made it!

I am so proud of him. I wish he knew that.

I hope I can see them really soon.

*Devan's POV*

I had tried so hard to fall back asleep to hear that girls voice again. I just couldn't do it. She didn't come back. But I remember what she said. I reviewed it over and over again.

But I-

My stomach dropped one hundred feet. My heart skipped 6 beats.

Hazel.

I remember her. My childhood love. Heck! Childhood? I love her to this day!

She was torn from me. My Hazel. My... Mine... I like the sound of that. My Hazel.

I hope she remembers me, because I remember her.

I hopped out of bed and quickly ran down to my brother.

"Hey, Collins." I said.

"Hey. Sup?" He responded.

"Um, I had a really weird dream," I began, "and it was of this girl. It took me all night to figure it out, but remember Hazel?"

Collins' eyes went wide and he dropped his spoon he was eating cereal with. It made a loud 'ding' as it made contact with the marble of our kitchen. He leaned on the edge of the counter, mid thought. We made eye contact.

Collins had finally come home from AGT for the weekend before returning for the finals, which we all were packing for.

He took a breath before speaking,"Yeah," he brought his hand to his mouth. "What about her? Have you seen or heard from her?" He asked quickly. He ran his fingers through his dirty blond hair. He rubbed his eyes as they began to swell with tears. Water formed at the base of my eyes. We both recalled that night...

All I heard was Hazel screaming, crying. She was being carried away from her baby brother, her home, her life, from me. I tried to get her, but my mom gripped my arm tightly.

She grazed her fingertips on mine, but was soon pulled away before I could hold on.

I screamed as she was shoved in the back of the car. Collins sobbed, crouched on the ground as I ran to my father. The police cars disappeared around the corner.

"That's not right," my father said, "she's had it so tough!" he said. "She's just a child!" He screamed to the nothingness that used to consist of flashing lights.

He slowly turned and walked inside. My mother followed as she sniffled. Collins and I stayed out. Silent tears just flowed from our blue eyes. I took a thought and a deep breath before beginning, "I kissed her today." I slowly looked up at Collins. He covered his mouth, still staring down the road. He silently laughed.

"I didn't have the guts." He lightly laughed.

I smiled and looked back at the road.

My body ached from the drained energy.

"I love her." I whispered.

"Me too." Collins whispered.

A tear slipped from my eye as Collins shed two.
