“this is lovely” I sigh contently closing my eyes “sometimes I wonder why you have me” Laurence chuckles “huh?” I blink rapidly confused “I’ll never satisfy you as much as costa” he laughs “not sexually no!” I wink causing us to erupt into laughter. For a moment I forget the band and our commitments and it’s just us. As I gulp the last of my coffee though, reality comes crashing back down “when do we have sound check?” I sigh. Laurence looks at me somewhat worried before a mask falls over his face “a while” suddenly he’s smiling again “let’s go check this place out” he says excitedly placing his cup on the table and getting up quickly “hey wait up!” I shout dashing out of the shop after him.

Laurences P.O.V:
“theres a church nearby” I pause checking my phone “yeah lets go” I look up and Kier looks perplexed “whats wrong Kier?” “didn’t think you were a man of God is all Laurence” he replies “I’m not but churches are beautiful and interesting” Kier nods understanding “you should mention one in the sequel to Ruple & Evelyn” “I might” I smile.

The church isn’t very big and we’ve explored the graveyard within half an hour “what now?” Kier asks looking to me for direction “we could see if it’s open?” I suggest “I hate churches” Kier shivers “you can wait outside?” I smile “I won’t be long” Kier interjects quickly “no it’s okay I’ll come” he says grimly his face determined. He didn’t seem to have an issue with churches in that photo shoot, odd. We get to the entrance to the small church and the door is open so I walk in, I run my hands along the pews walking up to the alter “these places creep me out” Kier shudders behind me “want to light a candle?” I ask holding up a box of matches left by the candles, most of which are unlit “actually I’m going to wait outside” Kier says as his foot-steps echo behind me. I quickly light a candle “I still miss you Layla” I sigh before saying a quick prayer to a God I don’t believe in and turning my back on the alter briskly leaving the church. Kier sits on the bottom step of a monument to fallen soldiers “hey” I smile tapping his shoulder. Kier jumps “sorry” I mumble “it’s okay” he says his voice hollow as he gets up “can we leave?” he asks “I need to do something” I say quietly “okay well Is it okay If I wait on the road?” Kier asks shivering “yeah, sure” I frown watching him walk away, I really need to ask him about this later.

Kiers P.O.V:

I’m sitting outside the churchyard picking weeds which are growing in the cracks of the wall when a girl probably no older than seventeen gets out of a taxi a bouquet of flowers in her hand. I glance at her quickly before going back to pulling weeds before doing a double take. She looks familiar for some reason. I try to shake myself of the thought but can’t “excuse me?” I ask as she’s passing “yes?” she asks turning to face me. I quickly scan her face she looks vaguely familiar but I can’t place her and she doesn’t appear to recognise me “sorry I thought you were someone else” I say dismissively. She just nods looking down at her flowers sadly before scurrying off. I notice the name on the note attached to the flowers. I dismiss it as a coincidence grabbing my phone out of my pocket and beginning to text.

Laurence’s P.O.V:

I kneel before the grave my head bowed “I’m sorry” I say tears forming in my eyes “I never should have left”. I pull away the ivy from her grave revealing her name ‘Layla Fellows’. It’s odd the things the mind remembers. I’ve visited her grave once, for the funeral, and even with the name covered after all these years I can remember it’s exact location. I sit for a while crying and talking, which I know is odd because she’s not here anymore, but I do it all the same. A cough behind me makes me jump suddenly and I turn somehow expecting her to be there. For a moment I think my mind is playing tricks on me. The girl that stands before me looks exactly as Layla did before she died. “Laurence?” the girls voice asks small “L-Layla?” I ask confused. I’m going insane. The girl begins crying and I get up to comfort her forgetting my own tears for a moment “Laura” she sobs “I’m Laura”. Laylas sister. I restrain myself from hugging her. She must hate me. I’m the reason her sister died, If I’d stayed. “you’re not. No one blames you” she cries. I must have said all of that out loud. “d-do you want a hug?” I ask timidly. She just nods in response so I embrace her, her slender frame feeling much like Layla’s used to in my arms.

***

I say a final goodbye leaving Laura to mourn her sister in peace. As I leave the graveyard I feel sad but at peace, as if a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. I notice Kier sitting back against the wall headphones blaring head-banging. “I-Is that Aiden?!” I ask in disbelief. Kier doesn’t hear me. I yank one of his headphones out causing him to jump “Christ Laurence!” he exclaims before looking slightly shocked “not the place” he mutters “nope. Not really the place to be listening to Aiden either really” I sigh. Just as I finish speaking the lyrics ‘Fuck your God, Fuck your faith in the end, there’s no religion’ blast from the tiny headphones making my point. Kier quickly pulls them out stopping the music “case – and – point” I say raising my eyebrows. Kier just shakes his head “you are always right aren’t you Bevers” he says sarcastically “that I am now we have sound check” I grin “yippee” Kier groans “seriously what crawled up your ass and died there?” I deadpan grasping his hand as we walk away from the church towards the venue.

Lukes P.O.V:

My phone rings for the second time and I check the caller ID “barrone again” I mutter still pissed off at him for snapping at me earlier. I disconnect the call and a few seconds later my phone rings again. I sigh even more angry now. “What?!” I exclaim down the phone. Barrone’s just crying absolute nonsense at me “Shane? Shane calm down what’s happened?!” I ask all feelings of anger gone.

A/N: So guys I'm sorry if the title scared you! Actually I'm sorry about the ending too. I'm very sorry. Hope you guys liked it apart from the whole 'what the fuck did she do to Drew?' scenario. Luckily one more chapter left in the triple upload so you'll have answers immediately,
