Deleted memories.

Lyra-
“You promise to call every month to catch up in our lives?:
“Yes, Hayden. I'm not going to disappear, I promise.” My flight is called for the last time and I hug my best friend for the last time. “I'm really gonna miss you Hayden. Four years without you is gonna be painful.”
“Same here, Lyra. Best friends?”
“Forever.” we link pinkies and I walk to the terminal. I look back, where Hayden stood next to my parents. I wave goodbye and walk away from their sight.
------
I close the last suitcase before turning around to see the empty dorm room. After four years being in a total different state, I was finally going back home. All my things were taken down, put away and I was totally ready to go. Graduation was yesterday, and having no one cheering for you personally hurt the hell out of me, but back home, I knew what Hayden along with any one who knew me, was celebrating. Four long, painful years.
“Lyra Gladwell? Dorms are now closed, please make your way out of campus.” I nod at the dorm director, got my suitcase in my hands and walked out outside were the taxi was patiently waiting for me. I take one last deep breath, inhaling the humid Virginia weather and entered the car, making our way to the small airport that opened its door to me years ago.
“Destination to South Carolina now boarding” I grab my handbag and made sure my ticket was in my purse before walking to the terminal and getting inside the small plane. First flight down. One more to go.
---
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to San Diego, California, weather for today is 92, stay cool out there and thank you for choosing American Airlines. Enjoy your stay.” oh I plan to enjoy my stay for the rest if my life, once I saw the ground to the airport, I mentally couldn't wait to touch my feet back home and wrap my arms around Hayden. I miss my crazy friend. Once we were cleared to get off the plane, I quickly got my bags and walked to where I would be able to get the bigger bags I had packed. I looked everywhere as I walked, hoping I could spot my best friend, but I had no luck. Once I grabbed my bags, I take out my phone to call her.
“Where are you?” Were the first words Hayden said, answering the phone “Bitch, I've been standing here for three hours and I still can't find you.” I laugh.
“Hayden, I just got off the plane, I'm by where you grab the bags. Where are you?”
“where you checked in. Why?”
“Go down the stairs. I'm by number 5.” Hayden sighs, frustrated, tells someone to walk with her and she hangs up. I take a seat on the big bag and looked around, until I spot the girl I've missed for the past four years.
“HAYDEN!” I screamed and she turned around. My heart leaps in excitement and I run towards my best friend, jumping, wrapping my legs and arms around her. She laughs and spins me around. “Fuck, I missed you so much” I said, crying happy tears.
“Stop crying big baby.” She comments, while drying her own tears. I slightly push her and look at the tall guy next to her. “Oh, this is Mike, remember I told you about him.”
“That's right! Nice to finally meet you. She doesn't shut up about you.” Mike smiles widely and wraps his arms around Hayden. I look down at my shoes and Hayden clears her throat.
“Where are your bags?” Mike asked, letting go of my friend.
“Over there.” I said, pointing to the now fallen over bags. “Let me get a cart.” They nod, and followed me to grab a luggage cart and put my stuff there. I was just too lazy and super tired into carrying them to their car. Mike, kindly, offers to push the cart, and Hayden just tells me to let him. So I did. She links her arm with mine and we follow Mike to their car.
“How was graduation? I'm really sorry for not going. I was super busy with all the photo stuff.”
“It was alright actually. the dorm building threw a party so I got drunk for the last time with my roommate. We literally went to this thing, got the drinks, went back to our room and watched cheesy movies.” I told Hayden my last week of college and she listened, it was great to be back home, next to her and her prince, as I teased her about. The city lights began to shine and I looked out the window, falling asleep with my mind at ease.


Hayden's POV
I looked to the back seat to see Lyra fast asleep, “so are we going straight to Jaimes?” I said while looking out of the window. “Yeah, none of the girlfriends are coming though, because it's about the tour, and well you're our photographer” I laugh a little “I bet Danielle doesn't like that, I get to go and she doesn't” he smiles while keeping his eyes on the road “probably not”. “At Least Erin is nice” Erin is Tony's girlfriend she is really one of the only girls I have talked to since Lyra left which is really sad. We always had meetings at Jaimes house, because his house was the biggest, he always had someone over so he had a huge house, and a shit ton of spare bedrooms. “I will get the bags and wake Lyra up while you go and tell the guys that she is actually here, and you were not lying about an imaginary friend” I nodded and stepped out of the car. Mike did the same but went to the trunk. I jogged up the steps to the house and opened the door to see all of the boys on the floor playing video games “I told you she was imaginary!” Jaime said while he pointed at me. “She's outside you dick” I shook my head a little and saw Mike bringing up Lyras bags, with Lyra on his tracks. “Your imaginary friend doesn't travel light” Vic said while laughing. Lyra walked in behind Mike and waved. “Everyone this is my friend Lyra”
“I will show Lyra to one of the guest rooms” I said while grabbing her hand and running up the stairs. “How long are we staying here for?” She said while looking around the room in awe. I shrugged, “well they are going on tour in a few months so we need to talk about that kind of stuff, but most of the time we end up getting distracted anyway” she nodded in understanding and jumped onto the bed. “Who lives here?” She asked, I smiled back at my best friend “just jaime” I started trying to describe him and she nodded “why does he have so many rooms if it's just him who lives here?” I turned towards her crossing my legs on the bed “well basically, Jaime is one of those people who don't like to be lonely, and we know a shit ton of bands and people, so there is always At Least one person staying here at all times”. I looked at Lyra to see she was smiling widely at me “I missed you so much” I jumped onto her knocking her over on the bed hugging her tightly “ditto”.
We had been in the room for a couple hours talking about random stuff like me and Mike, the band, my photography business, how it was in her university, family. Even though we had rang each other every month it feels as if we can talk forever. “So have you had any girls replacing my role as best friend?” Lyra said while wiggling her eyebrows, I laughed “not really, Tony's girlfriend is really nice, but then there is vics girlfriend, who isn't exactly the nicest person” I shrugged. She made an O shape with her mouth, and we had decided to go downstairs to talk to the boys for a while before we go to bed.


Lyra-
Being use to the three hour advancement, I woke up at 5am, which would have been 8am in Virginia. I wonder how long it will take me to get back to pacific time. Hope not too long, I can't bare to wake up at 5 and not talk to anyone. I sigh and walk to my luggage and take out clothes for today (Link) . I walk outside the room and look at the hallway, wondering where the bathroom was. I softly close the door and walk towards the end of the hall, and opening a small door.
darn.
I close the door and continue to walk around the hall until I decided to give up and go back to my room.
“Lyra?” I look behind me and see one of the guys, rubbing his eyes.
“HI, good morning.” He smiles and I look away from his bare chest.
“You need something?”
“The bathroom.” I said, slightly embarrassed. He nods and points to the door in front of me.
“Thanks.” I enter the bathroom and lock it. I looked at myself and smile, as the sun slowly made its way to the shine on the small window.
----
“GOOD MORNING!” I yelled at I saw Hayden walk inside my room. She smiled widely and yawned, she must have just woken up. I had already put on my makeup, clothes, and ready for any plans for today. I wave at Mike as he makes his way inside as well. Mike followed my best friend like a lost puppy, it was pretty adorable.
“Hi Lyra, have you been up for long?” He asks me, and I simply nod, smiling. “Well I think breakfast is gonna be in a restaurant just for you today. But do help yourself to anything in the kitchen. Even though this ain't my house.”
“might as well be your house.” Hayden whispers and I laugh, as she just smiles at him, innocently. We walk out of my room and I make my way to the living room, where there was others enjoying some coffee.
“Coffee?”
“yes please” The girl smiles as she pours me a cup. I walk to the small bar the owner of the house had, taking a seat, next to the smaller guy. They all smiled at me and continued to talk.
“So where did you come from?” the one with ginger hair asked, taking a sip of her mug.
“I'm originally from here, but I left to Virginia for four years, and I'm back to hopefully finish my masters.”
“On what?”
“Music Therapy with children.” I said proudly. Music and children were two of my passions, and when I decided to major in therapy I knew where I belonged in life.
“That's awesome.”
“JAIME!” the guy with a spiked hair looked up and I look down, carefully not making eye contact.
“WHAT??”
“your dog is outside.” he sighs and walks away. I look at Hayden and she smiles, looking all refreshed.
“so we should be going! Me and this girl still have to talk.” Hayden said, putting her arms around my neck.
“You spent hours talking last night.”
“Vic, shut up” Mike says, making Vic roll his eyes. I remember Hayden telling me that those two were brothers so I didn't even bother on interfering. Everybody went back to the hallways to get ready, but I couldn't help but feel pretty bad for making them come to get some breakfast
“Don't even think about it, Lyra. We do eat out every Thursday, so shut up.”
I was probably talking out loud.
“Yup.” I shoot a narrowed eye glare at her, and she just blows me a kiss, making me roll my eyes, but smile. About fifteen minutes later, everybody was ready and we were out the door.


Hayden's POV
We were in the car with Mike driving, me sitting next to him and Lyra, Vic and Danielle in the back. Vic had been poking me for the past five minutes, the next time he poked me, I grabbed his finger and turned around to look at him, putting on my most serious face I could I look at him straight in the eyes and said “you poke me one more time that finger, will go straight up your ass and come straight out of your mouth” I smiled sweetly letting go of his finger and turned around “lovely” Vic said while rolling his eyes. Lyra was giggling a little and I saw Danielle roll her eyes. Mike knew that me and her didn't get along that well so he grabbed my hand and squeezed it, I looked up at him and smiled. When we arrived at the restaurant we all got out of the car and I pulled Lyra over to Erin who I saw stepping out of the other car with everyone else in, we stopped in front of Erin “this is legit the only girl I have made contact with in the past four years” Erin laughed and shook lyra's hand, “you must be Lyra?” She nodded and us three walked in together. Me, Erin and Lyra decided to sit on a separate table to have a conversation about the guys. “How come that other girl isn't sitting with us?” Lyra said looking confused. Erin looked at me and spoke up “well she has been dating Vic for a short time, she isn't exactly the kindest person, but we put up with her” Lyra nodded in understanding. “Mike follows you around a lot Hayden, it's really cute” Lyra said while nudging my arm. I shrug slightly “we enjoy each others company I guess” I smile down at the table. “They have always been like that since they first got together” Erin said smiling. Erin looked towards the table where the guys were sitting, so I looked aswell, “looks like someone has an admirer” we laughed a little. “Nah it's too soon, they barely know me”. “You can only really judge in looks first, then you have to get to know them” I said.
Erin and Danielle had to leave because Michelle our manager wanted is to talk more about the tour. “Wanna go visit my parents?” I said while smiling a little. Lyra nodded, and we told the boys where we were going. “Say hi for me” they all said I nodded and continued walking. It was still noon so it was light. “So they accepted the fact that your parents are not alive anymore” I nodded while driving. “Mike wanted to meet my parents after I met his, and I didn't really know how to tell him, so I just agreed and took him to their grave and he spoke to them as if they were still here” I smiled at the memory. “And the other guys” Lyra said obviously worried about what had happened “same with them, honestly I love the guys so much” I saw her smile as we parked outside of the cemetery. “I will grab 3 beers from the back” Lyra said knowing what my dad would've wanted to do. “Have fun and drink a beer with me”.
Lyra came back with the beers, and we made our way to their grave stone, they shared a grave because well my mum committed suicide, and then my dad did the same because he couldn't live without her, so he obviously wanted to be with her. We found the grave and sat down, Lyra placed the beer onto the soil by the gravestone, removing the old one that was placed there from the last visit. We sat by the grave having a conversation as if my mum and dad were still here, finishing our beer we stood up and said goodbye, we patted down our trousers incase they were dirty and made our way back to the house.
“We're back” I shouted as we walked into the house. I heard footsteps coming towards the door while me and Lyra were removing our shoes. A small Mexican was sliding towards us. “Michelle is here, so we are kind of doing some shit on the new album” he said with bags under his eyes. “I think he is leaving soon because it is late” he slowly walked back into the practice room. I was hungry so I went into the kitchen and Lyra had followed me. I jumped onto the kitchen counter and got an apple from the fruit bowl. “Want one?” I raised an eyebrow at her. “Yeah” I threw it at her and she caught it taking a bite. A couple of minutes later we saw a bunch of males and one female walking over to the door and saying goodbye. “See you later Michelle!” Jaime shouted out of the door, they closed the door and Vic slid down the door while Jaime and Tony jumped on the sofa, and Mike walked towards me and stood in between my legs while I was on the counter. “I'm tired” I yawned and put my head onto his shoulder. “Let's go to bed then”. I jumped off of the side and went over to Lyra who was now playing on her phone in the living room. “We are going to bed now, I will see you tomorrow love you” I smiled almost forgetting what was in my pocket. “Oh my god I almost forgot” I grabbed it from my pocket and handed it over to her (_http://www.polyvore.com/m/thing?.embedder=17413076&.svc=copypaste&id=170569118___) she looked up at me with tears in her eyes “thank you so much” k gave her a big hug before waving goodnight to the boys and walking upstairs into mine and mike's guest bedroom. I took off my trousers and he took off his shirt and we jumped into bed, switching the lamp off on the side desk I turned around and lay my head on his chest falling into a deep sleep.
