Sydney's Pov

I woke up and seen that Gus was gone. I called out for him and he didn't show his self. I called again and he still didn't show up. I started to get scared until he walked into the room with a tray of food.

"Hey, it's okay. I made you some breakfast."

He set the tray down and I walked towards him.

"Don't scare me like that again. I remember the conversation we had and I thought you were gone.." "Sydney, I wouldn't just leave you. I'm not like that." "Well..what'd you make?" "I made some bacon and waffles. I remember when we had our conversation on the bridge that one time you said you weren't a fan of eggs, cheese or seafood so I kept it simple. Then I made you some coffee." "I can't believe you remembered that though." "I was listening to you when you were talking ya know?" "Most people don't...but, thank you for this. You didn't have to make me anything." "But I did, and you will sit down and you will eat." "Okay mr.bossy."

He laughed then sat on the edge of the bed. After awhile of me just eating I seen him looking at me strangely.

"What's wrong?" "Can I...can I ask you something?" "Of course. Anything." "Well..I overheard you and Julian last night.."

I looked around then back at my plate.

"What did you hear?.." "About how you wanted to try and get my life back..."

I finally looked at him and I sighed.

"Sydney..please don't put yourself in danger because of me." "I'm not getting myself into danger. If I can find a way to bring you back I'm doing it. This world needs you." "Sydney-." "I don't wanna hear anything else about it." "Well I'm not just gonna let you get into something you don't understand." "Gus stop it. You stop it now. If we can find a way to bring you back we're doing it. Okay? You'll start over and continue making music because that's the way things are supposed to be."

He looked at me but he didn't say anything else.

"Breakfast was good." "Thanks.." "Hey. I didn't mean to sound like that...I just..I feel like it ended too early for you..you never got to get better and...live like everyone else..your music showed true potential and touched so many lives. If we can get yours back then maybe we could-." "We could what? I'm dead Sydney. There's no coming back. My life is over. And I'm not going to let you get hurt because of me. You stay away from Julian and I want you to stop with whatever you're planning in your head."

He was so serious I didn't even know what to say. He stood up and looked down on me.

"I care about you Sydney. And I won't let you lose your own life...because of me."

He walked out of the room and I stared at my plate. I wanted so badly to throw it across the room but I didn't. I took it back downstairs into the kitchen. When I came down Gus was gone. I sighed to myself then Julian showed up. I sighed again out of annoyance.

"What do you want?" "Well..I'm just curious. How do you even plan on getting him back?" "I'm gonna find a way. I don't know what that way is right now." "Sydney, don't do this to yourself. You're fighting for something that could possibly never happen." "Are you gonna fucking help me or not?" "Sure. I guess I'd love to see you fail." "Asshole." "Actually...wanna go on a little trip?" "A little trip where?" "Let's keep it a surprise." "Fine. Do I need anything?" "Just yourself doll face."

He made some type of portal and it was dark on the other side. I looked at him hesitantly then walked inside of it. As soon as I did it closed and I was in complete darkness. All I could hear was my own breathing.

"Julian?"

I got no answer but I didn't panic yet. I started walking and I could hear the echo of my own footsteps. I then seen something glowing in the distance. I looked around then started walking towards it slowly. Once I got to the opening there Gus was. I was now on a tour bus and Gus was sitting on the couch. He looked zoned out and like he was going to sleep. I closed my eyes hoping when I opened them the scene would change. I opened them back up and it actually did change. I was back in all darkness where I couldn't even see myself anymore.

"Julian."

I kept walking until someone touched my shoulder and said,"Boo."

I jumped and screamed then started to hear laughing. The darkness then started changing into a room. Julian then appeared with a glass in his hand.

"Geez, you're so tense doll face." "Don't call me that. Why did you bring me here? What is this place?" "It's my home doll face."

I looked at him and started to walk around. I came upon a shelf with really old looking books on it. I grabbed one and started to look through it. I put it back and kept looking around. I came upon a book with a string sticking out of it and a feather pen on top. When I was about to grab it Julian had snuck up behind me.

"Not that one." "Why not?" "Just because you can't." "Fine. Answer this then. Why'd you show me Gus..like that?.." "Because you need to see why he needs to just rest in peace, you have to let him go Sydney." "Julian. Help me. Please. Help me find a way to bring him back."

He looked at me and sighed as he looked up. After a minute of silence he finally spoke up.

"Alright. Fine. I will help you try and find a way to get Gus back. But if we can't-." "Thank you Julian."

I impulsively hugged him and he didn't hug me back. He jumped a little bit.

"Have you never gotten a hug before?" "No. I haven't."

I smiled and let him go. We then appeared back at my house and we were in the kitchen. When I turned to say something else to him he was gone and I was standing alone. I then heard someone calling my name from upstairs. Gus then appeared into the kitchen and when he seen me he hugged me.

"Where were you? You had me worried." "I was..I was nowhere." "I'm just..glad you're safe." "Lets go do something." "Like what?" "I don't know. I just wanna do something with you." "Okay. Follow me."

He started walking towards the door and I followed him.
