 Sam’s POV

I waited for the longest time and then I was finally able to see my dad.

“Daddy! Are you okay?”

“Yes baby, I’m fine.” I smiled and kissed his cheek when I turned towards the doctor.

“So doc, what’s up?” he turned to me and laughed lightly at my seriousness. I was confused at first but just shrugged it off.

“Your father is going to be fine, we removed all of the tumor. He will be able to go home next week if he has recovered fully.” And he walked out. I smiled big. He’s going to be okay. I walked back over and just had small talk with dad.

After an hour they told me that he needed to sleep, so I left. I walked home while the summer air blew in my face. I checked my phone and it was already 5 in the afternoon. I walked to Little Caesar’s (a pizza place) and ordered some food. I ate and the left heading home again.

I finally got home, but something didn’t seem right. I shakily walked into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. I am not dying today. I walked into my room and saw a body sitting on my bed… holy mother fucking shit I’m going to die today.

Michael’s POV

I couldn’t stop smiling when Sam texted me back that day. I had been planning on meeting her all the time. Thinking about what I was going to say, what she now looked like, and if she had… a boyfriend. I shook that thought away and continued thinking of her. I want to surprise her… but how?

Sam’s POV

It looked like their back was turned to me so I tip toed in and pointed the knife at them.

“Who the hell are you and why are you in my house?” I was shaking. They jumped and laughed when they faced me. It was dark so I couldn’t make out their face but I knew that laugh anywhere.

Michael’s POV

We had come to Texas earlier then we were supposed to. I was excited and giddy all day. All the boys teased me but I didn’t care I was going to be able to see Sam! We arrived at our hotel and went inside to get everything together. I finally finished in my room and rushed out the door, walking to Sam’s.

Sam’s POV

I couldn’t believe it.

“Mikey?” I walked over to the light and flipped it on. There he was. Sitting on my bed smiling like an idiot. “What the fucking hell Michael! I nearly had a fucking heart attack!” I went and punched him in the arm. He pouted and rubbed his arm but my mood instantly changed and I was tackling him with a hug. He laughed and hugged me back.

“I missed you.” He mumbled into my neck. I giggled and pulled away.

“I missed you too.” He smiled but then it faded.

“So uhm… did you hear the song?” What song? I thought.

“What song?” he sighed out of relief and shook his head looking at me. I crossed my arms and stared at him. “Tell me.” He looked down then pulled my laptop onto his lap. He typed in YouTube and then the song and started playing it.

“I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone
I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around

It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away
And you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all
No, I'm really not fine at all
Tell me this is just a dream
'Cause I'm really not fine at all”
