Chapter 29: With Time

"I'm ready to hope, swing me out of the low
Wide awake in the glow, can't do it alone
I'm ready to fly, uncover the light
Impossible heights"

Jonah's POV

It's been almost two whole years since Milan Kay Hill passed away and left our lives.

We carried on with our lives, but not a day has gone by without one of us thinking of her. She always had a fear of being forgotten, so we swore to ourselves that she'd always have a place in our hearts.

Casey went off to college, sending Dane and Skylar to live with Bryson in New York. Casey is living in Florida right now at Florida State University. We hear from him or his siblings quite often.

The band has been doing great. We are on tour right now and have a big show coming up in New York that the Hill family is attending. Even Casey is flying in for it.

Corbyn misses Mikey a bunch, but he says he's moved on. He's back with Christina and they're doing better than ever. Corbyn says he can't wait to see Sky at the show, because she reminds him so much of Mik.

Zach is doing pretty good. It was extremely hard at first, but he soon toughened up. He hasn't really moved on to anyone though.

Daniel is doing good, but he says he still deeply misses his melon buddy. He focuses pretty hardly on music and the band these days.

Jack is still Jack. He still has Gabbie, and he still has his curls. He decided to keep them for Milan. They're a 'dedication' he says.

And me? I'm doing great. I'm still with Tate and we love each other a lot. I still focus a bunch on our music, more than I ever have. It keeps me distracted from Milan and Tate.

Oh, and Jace and Kian. They're doing amazing back in their little town. They both have pretty girlfriends, but not as pretty as Milan. Jace still loves Milan and his girlfriend knows. Kian misses his Disney girl too.

To sum it all up, we all miss that girl so much. It was a lot on Casey at first. He pushed everyone away and pushed himself into a life of schoolwork. But he's doing better, as we all are.

Now, we're sitting on the bus heading to our hotel.

"You know what Zach and I realized?" Jack asked out of nowhere.

"Nah, what's up?" Daniel asked.

Zach smiled, "The night of the New York show with her siblings, you know? That's coming up?" We motioned for him to continue. "It's the same day as Milan's two year."

We all nodded and put our heads down. No pressure, Zach. He's such an idiot sometimes.

Corbyn sighed, "We should do something for her, ya know?"

"Like what?" I asked.

"I don't know. We could have a slideshow play of her and us all. It could be like a ceremony for her. Good idea?" Corbyn suggested.

It was a good idea. Her siblings would be there and they'd be surprised. We all agreed and decided to play it with When I Look At You by Miley Cyrus.

"Sounds like a good plan." Daniel said nodding.

I nodded too, "We'll make our girl proud."
