3 months.

 It’s been 3 months since I’ve last seen Joey and the guys.

 The last memory I have of them is talking to Joey and Alan at my house.

 All I’ve been feeling is regret since the day I woke up. I should of never went to Sam’s house that night. I should of never trusted her.

 I lost the four most amazing guys I’ve ever met.  I can’t even leave the hospital because of my “mental issues.”

 They said I’m not stable and that I could only leave if I recover.

 Joey was my motivation to recover.

 But now he’s gone, so what’s the point?

 My thoughts were interrupted when my dad entered.

 “Hey sweetheart.” He said.

"Hey dad.” I smiled.

 “How are you feeling today?” He asked.

 Stupid, like a failure, completely worthless.

 “Pretty good.” I lied.

 “I have a something for you.” He smiled.

 “What?” I said.

 He pulled something from behind him,

 My guitar.

 I hadn’t seen that thing in what feels like forever.

 I couldn’t have any objects in my room because the doctor thought I would hurt myself, after seeing my wrists.

 He handed it to me.

 “Dad, can I have some time alone? I asked.

 He nodded, as he left the room.

 I started to strum and sing,

 And I am feeling so small.

It was over my head

I know nothing at all.

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you.

Anywhere I would've followed you.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.

 ~Joey’s P.O.V.~

 3 months later, and I still only have one thing on my mind.

 I thought that getting away, and taking my mind off of things would help, but I still find myself thinking about her every waking moment.

 The guys and I had just finished this mornings show, and now we were headed to our next location.

 I was sitting in the back of the bus, isolated from everyone, when Alan walked in and sat next to me.

 “Joey, you need to go see her.” He said.

 I sighed, “I don’t know, man.”

 “I’m here for you if you need me okay? Just trust God. He has a plan. He’ll give you the answers.” He said, as he returned back to the front of the bus with the other guys.

 I grabbed my guitar, and poured my heart out into a song that seemed to fit me and Ariana’s situation perfectly.

 And I will swallow my pride.

You're the one that I love, and I'm saying goodbye.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you.

And anywhere I would've followed you. 

Say something,

I'm giving up on you.
