*IS NOT IN BEN'S POV. THIS IS EVERLY'S POV*

When I woke up, a lot of people were there. I couldn't recognize those people but when the doctor and them came back, they had news.

News that a person named Ben tried to commit suicide. For a second, I didn't know who Ben was. Until it flooded in. Everything about us. I had freaked out and begged to see him. They told me not until both of us recover more.

I didn't agree to this. Why would they keep me from him? Didn't he miss me?

He had written 2 songs and I wanted to hear them soon. The guys said the studio version would be way different for The Black but Gone was likely to stay the same.

I wanted to see him and I cried many times for him. What if he had successfully done it? What could I possibly have done without him?

Missing him hits harder than death ever could. The silence that remains is deafening. Without him here I am empty and colorless. I am nothing without Benjamin Paul Bruce.

So why did I ever leave him in the first place? Even I would never know.

This world hurts without him and I'd need him back soon.
