Sydney's Pov

'I could stop time but I never want to do that again
Nothing worse than losing a friend
And that feeling you get when everybody that you love ain't around
I really got to get away from this town'

I kept singing the words. Gus had died. I was torn into pieces. He was my favorite music artist of all time and now he was no longer alive. His music spoke to me in ways that no other artist could. His music spoke to my soul.

I never even got to see him in person. Now here I was. Crying harder than I ever had before in my life. A small knock came to the door and my friend Amanda walked in.

"Hey, dinners ready." "I'm not hungry." "Please Syd, can you eat? You haven't eaten anything really for the past three days." "Just leave me alone." "Sydney-." "Please."

She sighed heavily and walked out of the room. I continued to cry. This shit was too painful. I had to get out of here before I exploded. I grabbed my jacket and just walked out of the house. I didn't care about my friends calling my name. I didn't care about anything right now.

I wanted Gus back and I couldn't do anything about it. His music had helped me through such hard times and now he won't be making anymore. It was unfair and I wished that there was a way to bring him back. I sighed and just kept walking down my street. I had my phone with me so I put my headphones into my ears and played his song Star Shopping.

I'm not sure why I played it because I knew I was going to get sad but at the same time I had to hear him. And I had to hear his calmest voice. Once the song started I could already feel more tears coming. I sung along sadly.

Gus had never even knew me but yet, here I was sad like he was a family member or a friend. I couldn't imagine how the people that knew him felt. I'm sure they felt way worse than I did. Of course they felt worse than I did. Honestly, I didn't know how I was going to get through this or how long it was going to take but, the way I felt right now was terrible and I wanted nothing more than for the pain to end.

I kept walking and ended up at an empty park. I sat on the bench and wondered what I was going to do next. I started to smell rain. I was happy it was going to rain but still unhappy. I never even got to see Gus in concert. Me and my friends planned on going to one together. But now, we were never going to be able to. I stopped the song I was listening to and decided I'd go to the little pond area.

When I did there was some small fishes swimming. I started crying again out of nowhere and I couldn't stop.

Gustav's Pov

I woke up and I was on my tour bus. No one else was around. Then I came onto the bus and I sat down. I was watching myself and it was weird. Seeing me through my own eyes.

Then the man from before in black said,"Keep watching. You don't believe me when I say you died on the bus that day. So you can watch for yourself."

I kept watching myself and I had took 6 pills. Just popped them into my mouth. Like it was candy. After awhile I seen everything go down hill from there. I didn't fall asleep..I was losing my life and then..I lost it. The only thing I could think was why no one came to check on me. Where was everyone? Why was I alone in my last moments?

Then after awhile had passed the man in black said,"Come my child. I believe you've seen enough." "No...I didn't die...I can't..I can't be dead.." "But you are, and now, I will take care of you." "What does that even mean?.." "You have to find peace..then..your soul will be free forever." "There was no doctors who could save me?.." "It was too late.."

I could feel tears welling up in my eyes and a slight bitterness in my heart.

"What if I don't find peace?.." "Then you will be stuck here forever. Replaying your worst moment." "Let me go back..just..for awhile. Please.." "Oh, but I can't. Come with me, and I can show you peace." "I don't want peace..I'm not ready to die yet.."

He put his hand on my shoulder and I jumped a bit.

"I'll make you a deal. You have 5 days to be on earth and say goodbye to everyone. They will not hear you or see you but you can see them one last time." "What's the catch?.." "Instead of finding peace, you'll give your soul to me."

I turned to look at the man and I still could not see his face.

"I'll do it..I'll give my soul to you.." "Wonderful. But there's another rule. If you interfere with anyone in the real world and their lives..you'll be in trouble." "Fine. Just please take me back so I can say goodbye.." "As you wish. And remember, 5 days."

He put his hand on my heart and I fell out once again.
