Chapter 14: Hello from the Other Side
Later that night, everyone in Camp Harmony are getting ready to rest up for more fun and awesome music stuff tomorrow and as the pack fell asleep in different cabins, they're all enjoying themselves in different ways. Brutus was asleep, but is still thinking about Koa and he has these deep emotional feelings for him and in many ways, he just wanted to tell him how he feels about him and the worst thing that could happen is that Koa wasn't ready for a relationship with Brutus and that would tear him up.
He lets out a heavy sigh and just laid back down and try his best to fall asleep and whispered to himself, "Koa..."
On the other cabin, Zeke is awake just thinking about Dustin and he wanted to tell him so much that he's in love with him, but what's getting in the way of that is Dustin's interest in one of the campers with his shirt off and it's kinda like he wanted to compete with that guy, but didn't want to downpour the Camp Harmony experience for everyone in the pack. He's just at a loss for words and for what he might do right now, but he knows that he can't hold it in any minute and just goes back to sleep.
At Aaron's RV
Aaron walks around the inside of the RV wearing only his tank top and shorts as he held Siris in his arms, rocking him to sleep and as he was doing that, he looks at a picture of him, Siris and Lehua on the first day of Siris' birth and whenever he looks at it, it just reminds him of the time he felt like his family just started. It had been the best two and a half years of Aaron's life when him and Lehua started their own family and now that she's gone, he realizes how much time has flown by so fast.
He walks over to the room where Siris' crib remains and he gently sets him down and lets him fall asleep and took one more look at him and kisses his head before silently walking out for a while. As he's surrounded by the quietness, he contemplates on his relationship with Lehua and even though the two of them went through so much stuff together, they never lost their love for each other...despite a couple of rocky moments they had.
He looks at the picture he has of him and Lehua in their happier times and though they were so young, they felt like it was something that could never be replaced, no matter how many times life will go on. He has always said to himself that he couldn't imagine life without Lehua and he's struggling to come to terms with that reality he's living in and he just sat down on the floor with tears coming out of his face and broke down crying.
All the different emotions that he's been holding in since Lehua's death has just came out and released quickly and there was nothing he could feel except grieve for the loss of his beloved and it was just hard for him to accept that fact that she's gone, even when he knows who killed her. It's just so hard for him to deal with reality that he's just shutting himself down when he's alone. With tears all over his face, he looks up at the moon and feels the moonbeam on his face as he walks outside of his RV to unveil his emotions even further.
He sits down and picks up his guitar and belts out a song that he had recently listened to on the radio about loss, love, regret and heartbreak but in the case of Aaron, it's mainly about loss and heartache over the loss of his wife. He strums his guitar and starts singing while still in tears as he struggles to compose himself over this huge emotional blow.
Hello, it's me
I was wondering
if after all these years
you'd like to meet
To go over
Everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I'd forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference
between us
and a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must've called about a thousand times
To tell you that I'm sorry
for everything that I've done
But when I call
you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you that I'm sorry
for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me
to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope that you will
Did you ever make out of that town where nothing ever happened?
It's no secret
That the both of us
are running out of time
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
for everything that I've done
But when I call
you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
for breaking you heart
But it don't matter
it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Anymore...
Anymore...
Anymore...
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
for everything I've done
But when I call
ypu never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore...
He ended that note with a tearful shudder and a final guitar strum and he just looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Lehua. I wish I could've been there to protect you...and you would still be here today with our son. When I find the person that did this to you, I'll avenge your death."
Very emotional moment...that was 'Hello' from Adele. Who doesn't like that song? Stay tuned for more!
