Cry POV:
I woke up by the sun, shining right into my eyes from the window. Fuck. I forgot to draw the curtains yesterday.
I looked at the time. Eight am.. Fuck it, let's get up and seize the day or something.. I stood up and took one step before I tripped over my playstation. "Fuck!" Why did I put it there?
I walked in to the kitchen and made tea. Everything felt so hopeless now, why did I move to this country? Oh yeah, my husband just had to move here, since he forgot about my existance, and, to make it slighty better, his old girlfriend is now back with him, or more like never left him, and here I am, in the house next door, hoping, waiting, for nothing. It feels more and more hopeless for every day that goes by, and it's been a week now since I've heard from him.. But I see them everyday. They always dine outside in their garden, where the whole neighboorhood can see them laugh and kiss and..
I held my hand against my chest tightly, trying to prevent my heart from breaking more than it already had. It really hurt.
My thoughts got interupted by the phone ringing. I picked up.
"I've got this song stuck in my head, but somehow, I've never heard it, but yet, it's still there.. And it goes like.. Do you remember.. And something september.. Well, I don't know why I'm telling you this, but it's been bugging me for quite a while now.." I could'nt help but laugh a little. "Well, goodmorning to you too, Pewds." He chuckled. "Hey, Ryan. So, do you know the song?" "Maybe.. How about I come over and play it for you?" "Great! Marzia's out on buissness anyways." "Oh, I'll see you soon, then." I hung up with a smile on my lips and hope rising in my stomach. He might remember, he wants to listen to our song!
I got dressed and walked over to his house. When I stood the steps to the front door, my brain gave me an idea. I opened the door quietly without knocking, and I sneaked in to find him standing infront of a mirror, looking at his own reflection. I sneaked up and hugged him from behind. He got suprised at first but smiled when he realised who was hugging him. "It must be great to have such a beautiful view everytime you see a mirror.." I whispered and a blush spread over his cheeks. "Well, let's take off that mask of yours and see if you have the same experiance with mirrors." I watched as his smile tunred into a playful grin and he grabbed my wrist and spun me around before he held me tightly. "No, we're not doing that today." I said, trying to get out of his arms, but he would'nt let go. When I finally got out, I ran towards the sofa like it was my safe spot or something, but he caught up to me and tackled me to the floor, where he pinned me down, holding my arms above my head. "I wanna see your beautiful eyes." He whined. "How do you know they're beautiful if you have'nt seen them?" "Just.. Got this feeling." He said with a deep, more serious voice, and I felt him letting go of one of my wrist, but quickly grabbing it again, holding both of my wrists with one hand now. Then, his free hand went up to my mask. "N-no, Pewds, stop that now, I told you-" "Calm down, Ryan." He said with a calm voice while he started pulling my mask up. I closed my eyes tightly, but he stopped after revealing my mouth, and I felt his warm lips on mine. He let go of my wrists and my hands grabbed his hair
We kept dancing with our mouths until air was needed and we both sat up.
That's when I remembered the real reason I came over to his place. I got my phone out of my pocket. "You meant this song?" I asked before I hit play on my phone and 'September' started playing. His eyes lit up, but he had a look of confusion. "Why do I know the text to this? I really can't recall any memory of listening to it before.." He said and suddenly, his hands flew up to his head and he looked like he was in pain. I quickly paused the song and put my hand on his shoulder, making him look at me. "I'm sorry, just.. Sudden headache or something.." He said and I sighed.
How could he talk like that about our song? This was all too much for me, I can't handle this. Who am I kidding? I'll never get over him like this, and he's already gotten over me..
"I should go.." I said before I stood up and walked to the door. "Wait, did I do something?" Pewds asked but I just shook my head before stepping out in the cold.
Red's POV:
I have'nt heard from Cry in a long while now. The last thing I heard was from Jund, he told me he'll take care of Cry and get him up on his feet again so I would'nt have to come over anymore. But I miss him now..
Fuck it, I'll go over there and see for myself how Cry's doing.
I drove to his house and the first thing I thought of was how cold and dark it looked from the outside, like nobody was home..
I walked up to the door and tried opening it. It was unlocked and the door creaked open. I walked in and closed the door behind me. I sneaked around the quiet house, feeling like a burglar.
"Hello, Red." I jumped up in the air and screamed a little, suprised by Jund's sudden existance. "Oh god, you scared me. The house seemed so empty, I thought nobody was home." He smiled at me in the dark. "I'm here." "Where's Cry?" I asked. "He went to Sweden." He said casually, leaning against the wall. "Why? Wait.. Pewds went to Sweden, right?" "Yeah, he's going after him." "And you let him do that? It could be dangerous, he might end up hurting himself more!" "Yeah, I know. But I tried stopping him. Believe me, I wanted him to stay, now it's all incomplete." "What do you mean, Scott?"
"Well.." He walked around the room. "Alright, I'll tell you, it's annoying to keep it for myself anyways. I erased Pewds memory of Cry." He said and smiled. "WHAT?! How the hell- Oh, and why, why oh why would you do that?!" I screamed at him. He's fucking crazy, why would anyone do that to a friend? Or anyone? "Beacuse I'm tired of him coming home to me, whining about how Pewds hurt him, and after that, he goes back to him anyways! He's stupid for doing that and someone needed to do something about it, so I decided to be the one to do it. I was just about to erase Cry's memory aswell, I even put sleeping pills in his pancakes but he got away before I got him to eat them." "You're so fucking stupid! They've gone back and forth for a while beacuse they were insecure of the whole thing, I think they were scared of their feelings for eachother. But they finally realised how it's all supposed to be and they got married, and you're so stupid for fucking it all up!" "I'm a good friend for doing this!" "No, you're the worst friend ever!"
I was just about to pick up my phone and call Cry to tell him all of this, but Scott grabbed my phone and threw it at the wall. "No, you're coming with me now. You can't keep this information." And before I could think of a reply or even understand what he meant, I felt pain in the back of my head and everything went dark.
I woke up in a strange room. I looked around. No bed or any other furniture. The walls were wooden and the floor was cold and made of stone tiles.
I saw the door and thought of trying the door knob, but I knew it would be locked anyways. So I sat up and let my back rest against the wall.
Only a minute passed by before the door flew open and a few masked men could be seen, but only one entered the room, the others stayed outside and the door closed.
The masked man walked up to me and pulled off his mask. It was Scott. "No suprise there.." I mumbled and he looked at me. "You have to understand the struggle I had to put up with to erase his memory. It took three fucking weeks to take away Cry from his brain, three weeks, Red! That's dumb.." "Maybe that's beacuse you're not supposed to erase love.." I mumbled and he laughed. He sounds evil when he laughs.. "Oh but you should've been there.. The first few times were almost funny.. The way he asked me to stop trying to take away his memory of the 'true love of his life', and the times I showed him the fucking picture of Cry on their wedding day, how disgusted I got everytime he scanned the photo with love in his eyes and described how beautiful he thought his husband was.. But the last time, when it finally worked, I was so happy. And Russ.." "Wait, did you say Russ? Was he a part of this?" "Yeah, he helped me with the whole erasing system and stuff." "May I please speak to him?" I asked, trying to hide my anger. "Nah, not now, we have to erase your memory of this first."
"Wait! I need to ask something.." "Ask whatever." "I know you're not the richest guy and neither are Russ, how did you have afford with all of this?" He looked at me for a while before finally answering. "You probably don't know this, but Pewds used to have a girlfriend in high school, and they were gonna get married.. Well, me and her were good friends and she told me it was all Cry's idea when her and Pewds broke up, and she has money, so she's been offering these money for years now, since she knows I could build something like this, and I finally accepted the money and got it all done. She kept living in their old house meanwhile and I've kept contact with her, she knows all about his memory of Cry disappearing and she's happy, I've heard they're back together now. They're happy." I did'nt believe that last bit at all. "Not as happy as Pewdiecry were." "Ugh, please, don't ever say 'Pewdiecry' again." He said with a disgusted expression. "There's something wrong with you." I spat and he laughed again.
He turned around and was just about to leave the room when- "One last question!" I shouted and he turned back to me. "Yes?" "If they were to talk to each other again, what would happen?" "Nothing really, Felix would see him as a stranger. Unless.." I saw a way out in the corner of his eye. "What?" I had to know, this might save them. "Unless their eyes meet.. This erasing thing is'nt as powerful as we wanted it to be, so unfortunately, he will remember if they look each other in the eyes.. But there's no worrying about that happening if we can get Cry back to this country and make sure Pewds stay in Sweden." That's it! I have to tell Cry, there's still hope!
He turned around again and I felt panic taking a hold of me and I threw myself at him, making him fall to the floor and I quickly pulled out his phone out of his pocket and put it in mine. "Hey, what the..!" He did'nt notice the phone stealing, but he got a little mad at me for making him fall like that. He stood up again, brushing himself off. "If I were'nt about to erase some of your memory, I would kick your ass right now." He said before leaving the room.
And I pressed the call button on Cry's contact as soon as he left.
"Come on Cry, please hurry and pick up.."
