Zach's POV
1 week later....
I've finally finished my song. So proud of myself. Jack and I are back to being best friends, but his memory still won't come back and it's painful. Pulling up my sleeve, I look at the scars there and sigh. Anything to relieve the stress, I think.
I go into the studio again and finish up the last few lyrics to my song. Then, I fiddle with the chords trying to think of how I should go about with the melody. When I look up from my guitar, I'm surprised to see that it's already 4 in the afternoon.
I get out my phone and start recording.
"Hey guys! So to help cope with my stress lately, I've written an original. Yeah, I know I'm in a band but I kinda wanted to do this alone. So, I hope you guys like it." I take a deep breath and begin.
You walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Oh, can I, can I be him?
Won't you sing it again?
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
Oh, sing it again, yeah
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
I swear that every word you sang, you wrote 'em for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Once I stop recording, I give myself a small smile, but then a movement in the doorway catches my eye.
It's Jack.
He looks appalled.
He's running his hands trough his hair, trying to remember, trying to bring back all of his memories.
Then something amazing happens.
Jack's face lights up like a kid on Christmas, and that's when I know, and for a brief moment I let myself hope and it feels so good.
"Jack? You in there?" I can hear the shakiness in my voice and I'm begging, I'm begging and praying so hard right now.
A smile slowly crosses Jack's face and he crosses the room without hesitation and kisses me.
And it feels so right.
I've been aching for the feel of his lips on mine that I went numb, and that's when I realize that a life without Jack is pointless.
I don't even try to hide my tears because he's back and he's mine, and no one is ever going to take him away from me ever again.
"Jack....I missed you so much. You don't know how much it hurt to see you with Ann, thinking you were happy with her, and - oh my god Jack, I'm never letting you go like that again. I-I love you." I choke out in the midst of all my sobbing.
"I...I missed you too. I can't believe I ever forgot who you were, Zach. I can't believe I somehow managed t-to forget my other h-h-half...." Jack starts crying, and we're holding onto each other so tight, scared to let the other go because we might lose them.
"I-I love you J-J-Jack. I love you to the galaxy and b-back. I f-fucking love you." I stutter.
"I love you too, Z-Zachy. P-promise me you'll never l-let me g-g-go like that ever again, o-okay?"
"Okay, J-Jack. A-also, in case you ever get amnesia again, I just need to tell you that I love the way you blush when you stutter, I love the look on your face when you get flustered, I love the color of your eyes, I love your voice, and dammit, Avery, I love everything about you. You're perfect." I cling to him.
"I-I-I'm s-so sorry, Z-Zach. H-how could I e-ever forget about us?" Jack sobs.
"A-A-Avery, I forgive you. It's not like I can't, not after w-watching y-y-you forget about u-us..." Once I say 'us', we're both crying again.
"J-Jack, how did you r-remember?" I ask through my tears.
"I-I don't know...I just h-heard your voice." Jack holds on to me and I hold on to him, and there we are, two lovestruck teens in the middle of the studio, crying.
Short and sweet.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK! Ma boi turned NINETEEN :).
Also, I did say they'd be back together by Jack's birthday...
