Papa Gates P.O.V

The boys had been scrambling away in the studio lately it had been about two weeks since the girls had passed and the boys… were still not okay with them being gone… but things like this… well it takes time and I gotta say the new Self-Titled album was going pretty well, Jimmy had come back with amazing lyrics after running away for a long time and Brian was sitting there sipping his water while on his laptop.

“How are you all doing this fine morning?” I asked around the room and everyone groaned and I just set down the bagels that I had and walked over and sat down next to Johnny.

“So have they gotten over their little drinking binges yet?” I asked Johnny and he laughed and nodded.

“I think that they will be alright it is just unreal to them” He said and I just nodded and sighed and Jimmy ran through the doors and into the sound booth with Matt and we continued our sound session for the day.

Erin’s P.O.V

I gasped for air and I arched my back coughing from the sudden restart of my heart… things were blurry as I lifted the top half of my body and I flipped over clawing at the bed as I tried to get as much air into my lungs as I possibly could. When I looked around at the bedroom I realized that I was in the guest bedroom at Papa Gates house.

“Hello?” I said my voice dry and hoarse and came out barely as a whisper… nothing just quiet. I fell off the bed while rolling over not able to hold my own weight and when I looked into the mirror I saw myself and realized the blood and the now healing wound.

“Holy fuck… Jimmy what the hell did you do” I asked out loud and crawled towards the phone by the bed and I dialed Hannah’s number… it was disconnected. I shot up and looked around and grabbed one of the shirts in the drawer and I slowly removed mine limping to the bathroom running the shower. I took another look at myself and put bandages around my body.

“How in the hell am I alive?” I asked myself and wondering how the fuck Jimmy was able to do this. I threw on the shirt and I looked around the house and when I searched through the drawer in the table by the stairs I found a set of keys and walked into the garage finding a Mustang and it was amazing. I grabbed water taking it down and then I drove off from Papa Gates to make my way to my place.

Brian’s P.O.V

I was sitting around while the guys were shoving their face and I strummed the guitar trying to pull a solo out for Jimmy’s song Afterlife… it was a painful experience. There were two ballads killing us and one called Dear God I wished that Erin could be here to help with… her voice… it would have been perfect.

“Hey if you don’t mind I am gonna go home and sleep, I was up most of the night” I asked after walking outside where the guys were having a smoke and I realized that Matt wasn’t even here right now.

“Yeah we had a productive day so its all good” Jimmy said and I could tell that he was worried along with my father.

“Don’t worry I am just gonna catch up on some sleep and try to get some solos out, I just need to have some quiet, I swear that I will be back.. and sober in the morning” I said reassuring them that everything was okay…

“Well you go home and sleep and we will see you tomorrow” Johnny said and I drove home and I walked upstairs passing out on the bed needing some rest.

Erin’s P.O.V

I was speeding.. for good reason… I really wanted to see everyone and make sure that Hannah was okay… I literally pulled up the house only to find it empty and I realized that I needed to go to the new house. I sped over to the house and I took a deep breath and
I sat there just trying to breath and I jumped seeing Jimmy get in the car.

“Jesus fucking Christ JIMMY!” I screamed and he hugged me and I cried into his arm
and he just sat there embracing me knowing that I was probably going mental at the moment.

“You made it!” He said and I just pulled back and I raised my eyebrow at him.

“You knew?” I asked and he nodded and I was really really confused.

“I made the chemical compound myself Erin, I knew exactly what would happen, just not how long it would take for you to come back, I was the one who did the medical autopsy. But E… I don’t know about Hannah.. the chemical… it did show up when I swabbed for traces” He said and I just threw my head back and I just cried even though there were no tears from dehydration… I was nearly hyperventilating…

“Deep breaths” He said and realized that I was in my underwear and a t-shirt.

“What’s with the get up?” He asked and I just looked at how stupid I looked and just pulled the t-shirt off and Jimmy ran over to his SUV and he handed me a black fitted shirt and a pair of shorts.

“Erin… he really misses you… he is falling apart” Jimmy said taking me off guard before leaving the car. I sat there rubbing my now dry hair and I just wanted to slam my head against the seat. I reached into the pocket of my shorts realizing something was poking my leg and it was a set of keys.. to the house? I walked up the pathway and realized Jimmy was watching and he nodded and I unlocked the door. It was amazing to see what was done to it.. just like we talked about during the night when we just sat in each other’s arms. I walked around the living room and saw the single picture on the mantel piece and smiled and then looked at the magazines with me and him on them.

“What the hell do I do?” I whispered to myself and knew that he was home since his keys were lying on the table and his jacket was on the back of the couch. I silently walked upstairs and I saw Brian in the bed passed out shirtless and I didn’t know if I should come any closer since I was unprepared.

“Just do it” I said to myself and I walked to the room pushing the door open the rest of the way and stopping seeing him look so tired yet so peaceful… this couldn’t have been easy… me dying. I walked over to the bed holding the wooden post and looked at the music memorabilia and a photo of me on the wall along with my vanity from the old house. But I was freaking out… HOW WAS HE GOING TO TAKE THIS!? I looked over watching him stir a little and he lied on his back and I walked to the closet seeing my perfume and spraying a little smiling. I walked back over and ran my hand over his cheek and he reached up almost like it was a reflex and his eyes shot open and he backed up on the bed and I think he was trying to figure this out.

“Oh my god… I am seeing things” He said rubbing his face and I just stood there for a moment.

“Have you been watching Supernatural without me?” I asked and he just laughed despite the confusion but he came forward and then put his hand on my face and realized… I was really there. He just sat there for a moment and I just stood still and I started crying a little because who wouldn’t after dying and leaving their husband behind?

“Oh my fucking hell… how is this possible?” He asked and I just stepped back but before I could fully plant my foot to the ground he pulled me into his arms and I just smiled feeling him… his embrace exactly how I remembered. He pulled back and I smiled.

“Am I dreaming?” He asked and I just shook my head.

“Umm babe… this is real… I am really here” I said and he just stood up and paced and I walked over to him and slapped him on the face and I wiggled my eyebrows at him and he just started laughing and then planted his lips to mine and despite that I was totally into this… my body was completely weak and I dropped and he caught me and then pulled me to the bed.

“So you are really here?” He asked and lied down with me and I just nodded.

“I am really here Brian, I promised I would never leave you” I said to him and I quickly drifted off to sleep from his warm and loving embrace… I couldn’t believe that I was reunited with him. But my mind was on the fact that Hannah was not here… as of right now she was dead and I was still only partial without her.
