Lukas's POV

The pain was unbearable. I missed Alyssa everyday. I hugged Petra, while tears streamed down my face. Alyssa was an Ocelot that- passed away before we met Jesse. She was in it since the beginning. She was really shy, and kinda crushed on me. After a while, I started liking her, too. That's when I confessed my feelings, and we became boyfriend and girlfriend. The, was called, Blaze Rods were all friendly and excitable. Ever since she died, they all became depressed, and when they found out I became friends with Jesse, they started making fun of her.
"I miss her, so much..." I said through tears.
"I know..." She said. She wasn't shedding a tear. "But she's still here."
"No, she isn't." I protested.
"She's here. You just can't see her."
"No, she's not."
"She's-"
"SHE'S GONE, PETRA!" I buried my face in my hands. "She's gone..."
Thinking about Alyssa made me so upset. She was gone... I knew it...
Petra beamed. "Maybe that's true... But I'm sure she misses you too."
"But she's gone... She's dead..."
She sighed. "You won't believe what I'm going to tell you..."
"What..." I asked, with my face in my knees.
"I saw Gill in- well, he said it wasn't a dream- but I saw him."
"You- saw Gill?" I asked. I looked at her. "What did he say?"
She handed me some note.

If I Die Young

"Did Gill write this?" I asked.
Petra nodded.
I read the note. At the end, I looked up at Petra, who was crying. I handed the note back to her.
"I miss him, so much..."
"

We all do." I hugged her. "We were also best friends. Until... You know..."
"Yeah..." She took in a deep breath, and let it out, slowly. She lay down.
"How've you been doing with all this?" I asked.
"It's been so rough. But that little "dream" helped a lot. I've been sleeping. That helps too."
"That's good." I sighed.
"How did you get over Alyssa?" She asked.
"I- didn't, really. Sure, I grieved for a while, but I still miss her a lot."
"So... How did you stop grieving over her?"
"I dunno. I met Jesse, I guess. But you know what happened."
"Yeah... I still don't understand why she doesn't remember you."
"I miss the old her. I remember having our first kiss, and then here we are; she hates me, she loves Aiden, Aiden hates her, we hate each other. That's just how it works."
"Maybe if you show her something only you would know about."
"I guess..." I got up and crawled through the window. "I'm gonna go downstairs."
"OK."
I headed down, and saw the piano. I sighed and started playing the song.

Jesse's POV

I came back inside from a walk, and heard the piano. I went into the main room, and saw Lukas playing. Then it hit me.

I love Lukas.

I remembered. I remembered! Lukas would never try to kill me! It was Aiden!
I ran up to Lukas and squeezed him.
"Jesse, what are you doing!" He asked.
I response with a kiss.
"So... I take it you remember me?" He asked when the kiss broke.
"I remember everything!" I hugged him. "I'm so sorry, Lukas! I never should've treated you like that!"
"It's fine, Jesse. I knew the real you was in there somewhere."
"I can't believe I actually kissed Aiden!"
"Yeah!"
"That was- bleh! Awful!"
Lukas laughed. "It's alright now, Jesse. You were just confused."
"Next time, tell me to remember you." I joked.
"I'll try..."
