"You're lucky I'm not screaming at you, anyway why are you here?" I ask, "I wanted to tell you something.." he says, I rub my eyes with one hand and make a gesture for him to continue, "I asked Indiana on a date, she said yes but I don't know where to take her!" my eyes widen, "Uhhh okay, it's happening, everybody calm down!" I start moving around like a single father who just found out their daughter got their first period. "UH okay so how old is she?" i ask, "17, she's turning 18 in August" that's so illegal, but I had sex with so yet again here we are.

"Uh okay... What does she like to do? and what's her favorite color?" I ask shut up and let me do my magic, "She like singing and dancing but when she thinks no one is watching which is the cutest thing ever, and her favorite color is red, but why does that mat-" I cut him off, "Okay, and when I saw her the other day... A cup and she was thin. You're gonna take her to the beach and then, you remember the first few days we hung out you took me to this bowling slash karaoke place, yeah well there, and you and I are going to the urban outfitters down the street get her a bathing suit." I say getting a paper to write a note for Payton, telling him I'd be right back.

"How did make a whole date from age, hobbies and favorite color?!" I look at him as I finish writing the note, "I have a talent." I say and wink I put the note on top of Payton's phone and tied my hair up, I grab my keys and phone and we walk out, "I have two skateboards, let's take those." I say, he looks at me, excited, "Yessir!" I walk in my garage and take them out, I hop on my favorite one, it had a snake design at the back and it was beautiful.

About two minutes later we make it to the urban outfitters, I make my way to the swimming wear part almost instantly and pick out a red bikini that looked about her size, I smile, proudly, at my accomplishment and show Tayler, she was as proud as I was. We make our way to the cashier and get weird looks, "Are you sure this is going to fit you?" the young cashier asked, she didn't say it in a rude way though so don't worry, "It's not for me, it's for his girlfriend." making me get another confused look from her and Tayler now, "We're not dating." he tells me, "I know that's what I'm working on, why would I help you if not?" I say, pulling out my wallet. "Magnolia, i'm paying, you did enough." he says, "wait oh my god, I knew you looked familiar, you're from tiktok!" she almost screams, well this is my first time being recognized, "that's me!" i said doing an awkward wave. "Can we get a picture?" she asks, I smile and walk over to her. "Tayler would you do the honors?" I ask, he nods and the girl hands him her phone as we pose for it.

"It was great seeing you Mags!" she says handing me the bag, "Of course, the pleasure is mine..." I say, to get her name, "Cassidy" she says, beautiful name... "Well the pleasure is mine Cassidy." I say.

We skate back to my place, I walk in and lock the door behind me. Tayler left to get somethings ready for his date. I hear a muffled guitar sound. I make my way upstairs towards where the sound was coming from, it was indeed a guitar and it was playing a very familiar song, one last breath by creed. That song... I start singing as I walk in the room, my room.

Please come now I think I'm falling

I'm holding on to all I think is safe

It seems I found the road to nowhere

And I'm trying to escape

I yelled back when I heard thunder

But I'm down to one last breath

And with it let me say, let me say

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Maybe six feet ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over

Reflecting on all of my mistakes

I thought I found the road to somewhere

Somewhere in His grace

I cried out heaven save me (save me)

But I'm down to one last breath

And with it let me say, let me say...

There he was, Payton. Holding the guitar I hadn't seen in years. Smiling. It was such a... beautiful moment. I look at the boy with teary eyes. And he looks back, mesmerized. I sit down on the bed next to him. "I didn't know you could sing." I whipped my mascara stained tears away with my sleeve and smiled at him. "Life is just a bunch of surprises, and unexpected moments." He pulls me in a side hug and kisses the top of my head, "Yeah, it is." it is... Once you think about it anything could happen, and you have to learn to embrace everything around as one day it could all be gone.

"We sound good together." I add, we both chuckle between little tears. "Yeah we do..." I hug him, "I love you Payton, I'm gonna miss you." he hugs back tighter. "Me too." he says.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask, "For sure mags." he says, softly, as we both pull away. "Why this song?" I ask, the one he was playing. "My mom... when my dad left, well she would always play this song and it just made her so... happy, I guess you could say. And it makes me happy myself." He says, he's so pure, "can I ask you something now?" he follows, I nod. "Why this song?" I look at him, thinking about how different out answers were, "My dad, before.." I clear my throat hoping my eyes wouldn't river... "My dad, he, he got involved with bad people, and got on the wrong side of the tracks, we starting abusing on drugs, but before that, well he was the best dad anyone could think of, he was my idol per say, he made me happy when no one else could and was there no matter what, this was our song... his song, when I would feel down and my dad, wasn't my dad... I'd listen to this song, it reminded me that, he was a good person and that this would be over soon, but it wasn't and now he's gone, this song is all I have left of him." all I have left of him the words replayed in my head as I started to tear up once again.

God, even Payton teared up. "I'm sorry..." he says, I lightly shake my head, "don't be." I say, and here we are. Hugging and crying. If there's something I never thought of, it surely is , sitting on my bed, hugging Payton Moormeier and crying with him, surely not. But as I said, life is just a bunch of surprises...

"Do you know the song Breathe by Lauv?" he asks, "Yeah actually, why?" he takes the guitar back on him, "Do you have a camera?" he asks, oh boy. "I'll go grab it." I say running downstairs.

"And it's up!" Payton says doing some last clicks on my laptop. "Our first cover is up." I say, surprises am I right, "I'll put it on my story. How should we name it?" he says. "Name what?" I ask, "Well us.." he says. "What about, Paylia?" he continues.

"Paylia... I like it."

Paylia...
