"Reid, are you gonna be at Nicky's tonight?" Skye asked, a bit hopeful that he'd say yes. She was planning something big and she needed him to be there for the plan to work.
"Yeah, right after swim practice. I'll see you there okay?" Reid assured her, waiting a second for a response but only heard the dial tone.
"Hmm…that was strange." He looked at the phone in confusion. Reid shrugged his shoulders and walked into the boy's locker room to change.
Skye smirked as she walked into Nicky's, saying only one word: "Excellent."
She walked up to the bar and hugged the owner of the famous teen hangout in Ipswich. "Thanks Uncle Nick. I really needed to do this. And he deserves to find out this way." She murmured into his shoulder.
"Not a problem. Anything for my favorite niece. I just hope you know what you are doing." He raised his eyebrows in questioning.
"Oh I definitely know what I'm doing. That ass has forgotten my birthday, my mom's funeral, and he wasn't at the award ceremony at the school when I won that writing scholarship. He deserves this." Skye pulled away from her guardian and began to set up her band's equipment.
Tonight was gonna be a night that Reid would positively remember.

Swim practice was finally over with and Reid could relax at Nicky's with his girlfriend. Skye was something special. She was a spunky spitfire that didn't take crap from anybody, especially him.
It certainly took a lot of convincing on Reid's part for Skye to finally agree to go out with him. 'She was certainly something.' He mused as he changed and headed out to the student parking lot with Tyler.
"Pedal to the metal, Baby Boy. I got me a waiting girlfriend at Nicky's and some pansies to beat at pool." Reid grinned, climbing into the passenger seat for once. Tyler rolled his eyes at the comment.
'Believe me Reid, you won't have a waiting girlfriend for long.' Tyler scowled inwardly, knowing Skye's plan. He started up the Hummer, pulled out of the parking lot, and headed towards the town for Nicky's.

It wasn't long before Reid and the gang showed up at Nicky's. Tyler ran off inside, apparently he had something important to take care of.
"Just let him go. You can partner with him and kick someone's ass at pool later." Caleb clapped a hand on Reid's shoulder, shoving him lightly into the noisy bar.
The place was transformed. There was a small area where the jukebox and the dance floor used to be. It was now a small stage area where Tyler, Skye's twin brothers Jayson and Declan, and Sarah were all setting up.
Caleb led Reid to a table in front of the stage and sat him down. "Skye's got a surprise for you. So stay here and just watch alright?" Caleb ordered before leaving to get some drinks.
Skye stood in front of a microphone, a guitar strapped to her.
"Hi, my name is Skye and we are Symphony Of Your Heart. This song is for you, Reid." She looked directly at him and began to sing. Jayson started up on the drums and Sarah played a sort of techno beat.
La da da la la la
La da da la la la
La da da la la la la la
It took too long
It took too long
It took too long for you to call backAnd normally I would just forget that
Except for the fact it was my birthday
My fucking birthday
I played along
I played along
I played along
Rolled right off my back
But obviously my armor was cracked
What kind of a boyfriend would forget that?
Who would forget that?
Reid went wide-eyed. He forgot her birthday. Which was today as well. He began to remember all the previous engagements he was supposed to attend with her. Like her mother's funeral and the scholarship award ceremony.
He definitely fucked things up this time.
The type of guy who doesn't seeWhat he has until she leaves
Don't let me go
Cause without me you know you're lost
Wise up now or pay the cost
Soon you will know
You're not living
'Til you're living, living with meYou're not winning
'Til you're winning, winning me
You're not getting
'Til you're getting, getting me
You're not living 'til you're living, living for me
This is the potential breakup song
Our album needs just one
Oh baby please
Please tell me
Sarah smirked as she sang along. This was the best song ever and she felt pride in helping Reid realize that he screwed things up royally with Skye.
We got along
We got along
We got along until you did that
Now all I want is just my stuff back
Do you get that?
Let me repeat that
I want my stuff back
You can send it in a box
I don't care
Just drop it off
I won't be home
Cause without me you know you're lost
Minus you, I'm better off
Soon you will knowTyler laughed inwardly as Reid listened to Skye sing. It was about time he finally realized his mistakes.
You're not living
'Til you're living, living with meYou're not winning
'Til you're winning, winning me
You're not getting
'Til you're getting, getting me
You're not living 'til you're living, living for me
You can try
You can try
You know I'd know it'd be a lie
Without me you're gonna die
So you better think clearly, clearly
Before you nearly, nearly messed up the situation
That you're gonna miss dearly, dearly
Come on!
You're not living
'Til you're living, living with me
You're not winning
'Til you're winning, winning me
You're not getting
'Til you're getting, getting me
You're not living 'til you're living, living for me
This is the potential breakup song
Our album needs just one
Oh baby please
Please, tell me
This is the potential makeup song
Please just admit you're wrong
Which will it be
Which will it be
The song ended and everybody in the bar cheered. Skye's band was a hit and everyone loved the song they preformed.
Except Reid.
Skye set her guitar down and hugged both Sarah and Tyler, thanking them for helping her.
She turned and faced Reid.
"You brought this upon you. All you had to do was remember. Just the simplest of things. And you couldn't even do that. So this is it. I'm done with the forgetfulness. I'm just done with you." She sounded tired, emotionally and physically.
"I'm sorry. I wish I had remembered. I really am sorry about everything." Reid tried but Skye held up her hand.
"It's too late for sorry." And Skye walked away, leaving Reid to remember who she was and leaving one lasting impression.
