Song(s) to listen to while reading: Heavy by Linkin Park and All I Want by Kodaline :)
Two days have passed.
Mackenzie has been staying with me since Monday night. I fixed most of the things in the house so my parents wouldn't notice. Shawn has texted me at least once a day but I've just ignored them. Travis has been showing up at school now that he has me in this game.
It was Wednesday night and Travis wanted to have us all come over like how we used to. I agreed to go because, well I have nothing to lose now. Mackenzie, Harry and Alex came over after school and we got ready together. Harry brushed out my hair while I sat on the floor and Mackenzie and Alex did there makeup.
"I hate seeing you like this Sophia." Harry said running the brush threw my hair.
"I hate feeling this way." I said messing with my ring. Alex rubbed my leg for a minute then returned back to doing her makeup.
I felt my phone go off in my pocket. I pulled it out and unlocked it. There was a tweet and a text from Shawn. The tweet said he had a show tonight at the little arena across town. Then the text asked if I would like to go see and if so he had a ticket for me. I couldn't even open it. I felt awful for doing what I did to Shawn but I had to for his safety.
Harry picked out an outfit for me from my closet. It was a pair of black jeans and a pink sweatshirt with my Adidas. I had no energy to finish my eye makeup and I'd probably cry it off anyways tonight so I didn't really care to do it.
Montana picked us up and we went over to Travis's place. It was still nasty in there and smelled disgusting. We sat down and Travis pulled me close, I closed my eyes for a minute and it felt almost like when Shawn would hold me. Except this time it was a hard grab on my waist, he dug his nails into me on purpose so I'd "cheer up". I studied his face as he did so. His light brown blonde hair went with his tan complexion. He wasnt ugly on the outside. I just wish he looked like that inside. He sat next to my shaking body trying to put a drink in my hand steady. I dropped the glass on the floor not thinking about it but instead getting lost in my thought of wondering if Shawn would move on tonight you know, like find someone else. When the glass broke it snapped me out of my thoughts. It didn't even matter to Travis, he said talking to Mackenzie's ex who had his hand on her thigh making her uncomfortable. I could tell it made Montana upset. He's always cared about her and her safety. Mackenzie went threw a rough four months last year where she drank and partied like crazy till she passed out one night and ended up in the hospital for it. She never knew who took her there, even though we all knew it was Montana. Harry would yell at him all the time that he should have told her and she wouldn't have gone back to that asshole but Montana wasn't ready to face his feelings he said. And maybe I wasn't ready to face mine with Shawn.
I asked Travis for another drink and he did so and continued talking. This made Harry and Alex looked at me with a suspicious look. Harry had a beer in his hand, drinking it slowly while Alex just drank a monster. Mackenzie was on her phone trying to ignore the hand on her body. Montana walked to the back yard out of anger from what he saw so i got up and joined him outside and drank the mixed drink I was given.I later went back and took some more from the cooler. I wasn't one to drink or party, that just wasn't me.
Until now.

This wasn't like Sophia. Something had to have happened. I have texted, called, and dropped off flowers at her door in hopes she'd at least tell me she was okay. I was starting to fall in love with her. I never got tired of being around her. I never got tired of looking at her because everyday she got more and more beautiful even when you think she could get any better, she always did. I wanted her to come to the show tonight so badly. I wanted to at least feel like I had someone there for me.
I had twenty five minutes before I had to go on stage. I wasn't sure I was ready with this unsteady feeling inside of me. I was talking to my sister backstage. She told me to let fate decide.
"Aaliyah, I don't know if I can rely on fate alone."
"Sometimes you have to, even when you don't want to."
And with that we hung up and I had fifteen minutes till I went on. All I could do right now was pray that Sophia was somewhere in the crowd but I don't think any god could make that happen right now.
"Shawn, you go on in 5."
I grabbed my guitar and mic then headed out. I was set to play three songs stitches, never be alone, and kid in love. Kid in love was the newest one written. I wrote it the second time I had hung out with Sophia at my house. My eyes scanned the crowed looking for her bright, beautiful brown eyes and after shortly noticing they were absent it sent mine into a dull, dark brown color. I played the three songs and it felt a little better but not by much. The crowd seemed to love it and that was an amazing feeling.
Once I got off stage I went to my phone to text Aaliyah but was surprised by the amount of calls from Sophia. There where seven missed calls, I started to call her back but she was calling me already again.
"Sophia! I miss you so much!" I said excited.
"Shawn, please come to the hospital. Something happened to Sophia." A females voice said over the phone. My heart sunk as I grabbed my keys to my jeep and headed to the hospital.
What could have happened?
