“Nothing special. Just a memory.” Saylor sighed, pressing on the keys again. “I know. I just don’t wanna think about that.” She said, putting her head on Cade’s shoulder. “I know everyone hated him, and he had his demons, but I just can’t bring myself to hate him Cade.” She said taking in another deep breath. “No matter how evil or vile he would be, or what he would do, I loved him. So much. And if anyone ever found out about…” She stopped herself before continuing the sentence. She stood her head up and wiped her eyes. “I’m just so scared I don’t know what to do.”

“it sounded nice.” cade told her with a smile before nodding his head. “he had his own shit going on for sure, but that doesn’t mean you need to hate him. i don’t hate him.” he said, holding her close to him as he continued to rub her shoulder. “hey…it’s alright. they’re going to find out why this shit keeps happening, they have to…and i’ll be right here with you, yeah?”

“No it’s fine, I like when you interrupt.” Saylor couldn’t help the grin on her face as Cade came in. Something about him just made her smile all the time. “That’s very sweet of you.” She smiled as she continued to let her fingers play on the piano. “I’m okay I just have a lot to think about. I don’t know … It’s been hard Cade. It really has.” She said before turning to him. “But you’re amazing for taking me. Again your really didn’t have to but I appreciate the company.”

“are you sure? it seemed like you were in the middle of something good.” he said but he continued to walk into the room and take a seat beside her anyway. “you know i’ll always come check on you.” cade reminded her with a smile before nodding his head. “i’m sorry things have been tough on you lately, i’m sure seeing michael like that couldn’t of helped.” he wrapped his arm around her should and softly started to rub it, comforting her the best her could from this angle. “of course, i’m glad i could convince you to go with me regardless. i’m glad i didn’t let you do that alone.”

“Oh, thank you.” Saylor said as he mindlessly played the piano once again. “Are you hiding out too. Homecoming was a little crazy for all of us I don’t blame you.” She laughed with Diana.

Diana nodded in response to her question, she was thankful to know she wasn’t the only one freaked out about homecoming. Granted she had her own reasons, but it was nice to have a common bond with Saylor. “Yeah, I kind of want to forget the whole thing even happened,” She sighed. Diana slipped off her bag to make herself more comfortable, she figured she was going to be here for a bit. “Was that original or just a song I don’t recognize?” Diana asked moving deeper into the room and sitting near the blonde. “Either way it sounds really good.”

“Hey will.” Saylor smiled as she noticed who it was coming in. “I don’t mind leaving, giving you some privacy. I was just trying to get distracted.” She said softly as she packed her bag. “I think we all need a distraction.” She said aloud before turning in her chair. “I’m sorry you got stuck with ticket booth, I know it can be boring.”

                         william knew TOO much about saylor. all thanks to whoever was running michael’s phone. as he stared at the blonde he couldn’t help but wonder how someone like her would ever date a man like him.  “ it’s fine. you’ve been going through hell as well so i’m not one to banish you from a place you enjoy. by all means, continue. ”

ever since the homecoming, saylor could not get michael out of her mind. she didn’t know how the video got up there, and she was in charge of it. now everyone thought she was setting up addie, and that she was sending the texts. she sighed as she sat in the music room, mindlessly playing the piano, thinking back when she and michael played together. “i learned to live, half a life. and now you want me one more time …” she sang, before a noise made her turn around. “oh i’m sorry! i didn’t see anyone here.” she tried to brush it off.

cade smiled as he heard her voice, he knew the girl could sing but with no one else around he got the chance to really hear her. “don’t stop on my account.” he told her with a smile as he walked further into the music room. “i’m sorry for interrupting you, i wanted to check up on you after everything that went on during homecoming.”

                          william had demons of his own which he was dealing with. face buried directly in his textbook as he desperately tried to study to distract his wandering mind. a failed task. random gazes being shot his way ( and perhaps impure thoughts ), william gathered his belongings and made his way to the music room knowing he’d have SOME peace and quiet there. it was fairly empty at this time but walking in on saylor singing caused william to curse under his breath.  “ nah, it’s fine, ” he insisted, knowing she’d probably be dealing with a lot since the dance.  “ sorry, i just came here to study. ”
