Matt’s P.O.V
Brian decided to go home and get an early night, in the hopes of actually sleeping for once, but I was determined to get this song finished, it was dedicated to both of our girls. I’d called it Dear God. I made the guys get their parts for this song down today, I knew that if I waited any longer I’d never get the vocals done.

I made it through the first verse and chorus without any tears or chokes, but I was shaking like a cell phone on vibrate.

“… Pictures and some memories will have help me through, oh yeah.
Dear God, the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I’m not around, when I’m much too far away, we all need, that person, who can be true to you and I left her when I found her and now I wish I’d stayed, cause I’m lonely and I’m tired, I’m missing you again, oh no, once again…”

The track continued to play but I stopped my shaking hands coming up to my eyes to press the tears back in that were threatening to spill.

“Matt-“ Papa Gates voice came through the intercom and I lost it. I ripped the headphones off of my head and threw them across the booth before collapsing on the floor in a blubbering heap of man.

“Please!” I cried “Hannah! Please come back to me!”

Hannah’s P.O.V
As my lungs filled with air in a huge gasp, my top half shot up and my eyes popped open while my mouth hung open. I looked around, taking in my surroundings, but all I saw were rows and rows of metal doors surrounding me, the white tile flooring. Confused, I turned my body and hung my legs off the side of the table and slid of, my hopes of standing gone to shit when I collapsed onto the cold floor, that’s when I realised I was naked.

I grabbed the side of whatever I’d been lying on and grabbed the white sheet that was draped over it, wrapping it around my body. After regaining some strength in my legs, I moved myself across the room, where there was a mirror and a sink, the mirror was full length and when I got close enough to see the detail of my face my heart almost stopped.

I looked… dead! My eyes were sunk in, my cheekbones prominent, my lips were pale, and my collar bone was more visible than ever. I lifted my hands and they were almost blue, my nails looked disgusting and then I took a leap of faith and dropped the sheet, the sight before me caused me to scream bloody murder, which was followed by the sound of two running pairs of feet.

“Holy shit,” A voice said “Jimmy was right,”

“She’s back,” Said the second.

I grabbed the sheet and whirled around while covering myself with it, and came face to face with Matt and Jason Berry.

“What the fuck is going on?” I asked with a shaky voice and tears slowly sliding down my face.

“Look,” Jason smiled, walking over to me and turning me back to face the mirror by my shoulders where… my disgusting paleness was running away “It’s makeup,”

That’s when it hit me. Where I was and why.

“I’M IN THE MORGUE?!” I screamed in horror “I WAS FUCKING DEAD, OH MY GOD!”

“I’ll call Jimmy,” Matt said “He can explain all of this better than us.

“Can I call Erin?” I asked, but they denied me that because I had to get cleaned up and ready… to go home.

Matt’s P.O.V
I couldn’t believe it. Erin was back. She wasn’t dead and she had returned to live her life with Brian. But she had explained to me about the capsules, I remember Hannah telling me about that a while ago, but I wasn’t convinced she used it in time.

Erin and Brian had come over to the house to spend time together but with me too. Erin sat on the sofa beside me and was rubbing my back while I cried silently into my half empty glass, but
Brian just sat across from her, staring at her, I couldn’t believe it either.

“She’ll come back to us…” Erin whispered, more to herself than to me.

The front door opened slowly and then closed, but I couldn’t hear which guy was coming in, the footsteps weren’t heavy enough.

“Matt? Erin?” A soft voice asked from the entrance to the living room. We both shot up when we realized who that voice belonged to.

“Hannah?” I breathed. Was this really happening? She was standing there, all on her own, smiling at us.

“It’s me,”

I ran to her and scooped her up in my arms, before I started crying into her shoulder as I gripped onto her with everything that I had, as though if I let her go she’d leave me again.

“I can’t believe you made it back,” Erin cried, walking over to us. I let go of Hannah, passing her to Erin, where they grabbed each other and held onto one another before the tears started to fall

“I didn’t think you bit it in time,” She cried.

“I didn’t think you did, either,” Hannah chuckled, pulling away and looking into Erin’s eyes “We’re back,”

“We’re back,” Erin repeated.

That’s right… they’re back.

Hannah’s P.O.V
We all agreed that Erin and Brian should be alone tonight and so should Matt and I.
Matt and I were changed into our pyjamas which consisted of boxers and a shirt for me and just boxers for Matt, we lay on the sofa together, the TV on in the background but we did nothing but stare at each other, between long passionate kisses of course.

“I have something for you,” Matt said suddenly, making me jump and laugh. He reached behind him and grabbed something off of the little table, returning to me with my ring.

“I was looking for that,” I chuckled, holding out my hand so he could put it back on my finger.

“Third time lucky,” He smiled widely “Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?”

“I don’t have any plans as of yet,” I laughed loudly “Why?”

“Come to the studio with me, we have so much to show you two,”

“Of course,” I smiled softly, leaning up to kiss him again. We had a lot of time to make up for after all. But I also had time with Erin to make up for.
