Serena's P.O.V.

The show that night was a little different compared to the other ones. The crowd wasn't as large as usual. I suspected that people hadn't come because they were still upset with me for not having the meet and greet. They probably assumed there wouldn't be one here either, so they didn't bother turning up. I'm not going to lie, it hurt. But, I pushed that hurt away, painting the happy façade on my face as I sang to the crowd.

"Some of you who have been my fans since the beginning will probably recognize this song. I worked on this with the amazing Aidan Gallagher. This is called Miss You. And Aidan, if you're on Instagram watching this, I miss you so much, baby. Can't wait to see you soon!" I spoke into the crowd, looking at a few of the phones that were held up high, taking pictures with the flash shining brightly.

Watching waves break on this pier

Wish I'd know, wish I'd know

How I'd feel if you were here

I'd be home. I'd be home.

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh,

Missing how you made me smile

Don't know why, Don't know why

I couldn't fill the space inside.

And I've tried, Oh I've tried.

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh,

Running around with our own lives

Hope you know how I miss you

Crazy how our worlds collide

Please just know I miss you.

And I still believe that this could be us.

Just hold on for another day,

But can I still believe that this will work out?

Just know I miss you.

I think about those times at night,

And it still breaks my heart

Now I'm gone, and you're still here.

And I've grown, And I've grown,

And I can no longer pretend

No more lies, no more lies

It seemed like we'd never end,

You and I, you and I

Running around with our own lives,

Hope you know how I miss you

Crazy how our worlds collide

Please just know I miss you.

And I still believe that this could be us.

Just hold on for another day,

But can I still believe that this will work out?

Just know I miss you.

And maybe I can catch a plane,

Get back to you

It doesn't matter where we are

It's not that far back to you.

Running around with our own lives,

Hope you know how I miss you

Crazy how our worlds collide

Please just know I miss you.

And I still believe that this could be us.

Just hold on for another day,

But can I still believe that this will work out?

Just know I miss you.

And I still believe that this could be us.

Just hold on for another day,

But can I still believe that this will work out?

Just know I miss you.

Towards the end of the concert, people in the crowd started asking for song requests, to which I happily obliged, wanting to make my fans happy. Even if we weren't able to meet one on one, I hoped that doing these requests that it would make up for it. Towards 11:00 pm, T.J. and I had made it back to the bus. 

One final stop. One more show to do, and then I could come back home and be reunited with Aidan. My phone was dead by the time the concert had wrapped up. T.J had been taking pictures and filming videos for my Instagram. And she told me that most of the comments she had seen were very positive.

I sat at the counter next to the plug, waiting for my phone to charge to at least 15% so I could text Aidan and let him know I was okay. "You excited for tomorrow?" T.J. asked, bringing me out of my daze and making me look over my shoulder at her. "Hmm?" I asked. She repeated what she had said, and I instantly thought about the last concert at Danforth. Even though I was being harassed while on this tour, I still had fun performing. Granted that this was the first full-length tour, but I had never had so much fun in my life.

But at the same time, I was homesick. I wanted this tour to last forever, but I also wanted to go back home. "Yeah. But, it's sure going to feel weird when this whole thing is over," I slightly chuckled before looking back at my phone, staring at the screen as the percentage bar slowly but surely climbed in battery life. By the time it had reached 13%, the phone turned on, allowing me to scroll through the apps again.

I had a few unread texts. One was from Mom, a few from some of the Umbrella Academy cast, and three from Aidan.

Mom (Lauren)

Mom: Hey, Serena! I hope the concert in Brampton went well! I can't wait to have you back home with us tomorrow night! Love you! 💖

Serena: Can't wait to be back! I love you too! 😊💖

Emmy

Emmy: Saw your stories! Keep up with the singing girl!

Serena: Hehe! Thanks, Em! We should grab lunch sometime when I get back!

Emmy: Definitely! Talk to you then!

Aidan

Aidan: Hey spoop, I don't know if you'll be reading this when it gets sent out, but I wanted to let you know that I contacted a detective who specializes in stalking cases. He's doing his best to get the problem taken care of. We'll talk more about it when you get back.

I also wanted to tell you that I love you so much. No matter what happens throughout this investigation, we will get through this together. I'll be dreaming of holding you in my arms tonight. Text me when you can. I'll probably be up till 12:30 tonight. Later call time tomorrow.

Serena: Aww, I love you so much too, baby. That's amazing he's getting things taken care of. Hopefully, things can go back to the way they were.

Aidan: They will, I promise.

Serena: Well, I'm going to hit the hay. So I'll text you before Danforth tomorrow.

Aidan: Okay. Sweet dreams, princess.

Serena: Sweet dreams, Aidy bear!
