Chapter 1
I have been gone so long.
And everything has been so wrong
Come back to me.
Sydney's POV
I forced myself to laugh as Weiss told another joke. I felt someone staring at me and turned to look at Vaughn, who immediately turned his head in the other direction.
"I'm gonna go get you some real food." Lauren finally said, as we all heard Vaughn's stomach growl for the twentieth time.
"Ok." Vaughn leaned in to kiss her.
"I'm coming too!" Weiss called. He and Lauren walked out of the room.
I sighed as I started to get up. I had to go to the bathroom really bad.
"Syd, wait." I was stopped by Vaughn's hand grabbing mine.
"Yeah?" I said quietly.
He pulled me closer to him.
"I'm so sorry Syd." I saw tears begin to form in his eyes.
I swallowed hard, and tried not to let myself cry. "Forfor what?"
"For everything. For not believing in us, for giving up on looking for you, for gettinggetting married." Vaughn said. I could tell this was really hard for him. He was a very brave man and to see him crying was the last thing I had ever expected.
"It's ok." I finally managed to say.
"And I know it was not your fault."
"For what?"
Vaughn forced a small smile. "For stabbing me."
I blushed deeply and smiled.
"Vaughn." I paused. "Michael, I just have to know what happened to me over the past few years and right now, Simon is my only link."
I don't remember anything.
And I'm hoping it was all a dream.
Come back to me.
"I know." Vaughn replied.
"And I know you think that it's too dangerous for me, but I have to do it. I just have"
I was cut off when Vaughn kissed me. I was shocked, but I kissed him back. Was he over Lauren? Would he take me back? I pulled away and wrapped my arms around his neck. Vaughn looked past me over my shoulder.
"Oh gosh," He mumbled, "Lauren."
