I can't believe his gramma died and here they are talking about how she and his grandfather met and fell in love. Syd's explanation as to why Vaughn was in her room was hilarious. Thanks for the pm. Update again soon.

Chapter 22: Too Perfect
Vaughn stomped down the stairs. This week at been rough, especially on him
*Flashback*
“Syd” Vaughn smiled and pulled out his phone. “Hello…yeah…mom…calm down…what…are you…oh my god” Vaughn just stared blankly, “yeah, I’ll be right there” and he hung up. “We have to go” he told her.
“What’s wrong Vaughn?” Sydney swallowed hard.
“My…my” Vaughn couldn’t even let the words come out.
“Michael what is it?” Sydney kneeled in front of him.
“My grandmother died” Vaughn looked at her with tears in his eyes.
*End of Flashback*
I should have known the right answer was the simplest
I should have trusted in the things I've always known
I was unprepared for feeling like I do
And I was unprepared for all the things that came along with you
*Flashback*
Vaughn rushed home, probably breaking about thirty laws. Fortunately for him, the police were nowhere in sight. He got home, in about half the time. He ran through the door, to find his mother in a fetal position on the couch, his father holding her. Anne Vaughn had become like a second mother to her after her mom, Emily, passed away.
“What happened?” Vaughn asked as a tear rolled down his cheek.
His father looked up, “Son, she went to lie down for a nap. Next thing we know… she-she went peacefully.”
*End of Flashback*
Vaughn was now sitting on his bed, after the funeral, Sydney had her arms wrapped him, trying to get him to calm down.
“Why? Why now?” he said getting up and grabbing a baseball. He threw it across the room.
So I'm sorry
That I couldn't save you
That I couldn't be what you needed
Please forgive me
Oh you know I tried
Cause I'm still on my hands and knees
You'd better believe
That I'd stay here till you could pull us up
“Vaughn, everything happens for a reason,” she said getting up to hold him again.
Vaughn felt a tear run down his cheek, “But-but we just started to get close again…I mean after gramps died…”
Sydney held him tighter, “Yeah, I remember that.”
“It just-just-just wasn’t supposed to happen,” he said screaming.
Sydney had never seen this side of him before. She had never seen him cry, never seen him been so hurt, so broken. There was nothing for her to do to heal his pain; her words were only words, “It hurts me too. I remember when we-well I-was little, you’d invite me over for dinner. She’d tell me stories. I miss that. And I know you do too. But we can’t change the past, Michael. We can only work with our present. So work with yours…”
“You-you say things perfectly,” he commented as he looked up and stroked her cheek.
“I love you,” she said smiling.
“I love you too,” he replied leaning in for a kiss. “Don’t you ever forget that.”
Waiting for the answer,
remembering times we would share,
somehow I feel you here beside me,
even though your not there.
And it's a leap of faith,
when you believe there's someone out there,
it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
and when I call out to you,
will you be right there, right there
---***---
Sydney walked into Old Navy, her hands deep in her dark hoodie, sunglasses on. She passed the registers and looked for the one Vaughn was at. She saw him monotonously putting some clothes in a back and handing back some change. She walked in a circle, carefully watching him, seeing when he’d leave to go on break. He finally walked away, in the opposite direction. She stealthily caught up to him and placed her hands over his eyes.
“Guess who,” she said in a tone that didn’t sound like her.
“Someone I know?” he guessed.
Sydney scoffed, “That hurt.”
Vaughn turned around, “Oh sweetie, I knew it was you…”
“Of course you did,” she smiled. “I was wondering, since it was your lunch break, if you wanted to go out to lunch with me.”
“Of course, I’d love to go out to lunch with you,” he agreed smiling. “I’ll be right out.”
Sydney stood near the employee’s only room and looked around the store. They weren’t that many people in the store, so Sydney could see all of them. But her expression fell when she looked out and saw Logan.
I should have known the right answer was the simplest
I should have trusted in the things I've always known
I was unprepared for feeling like I do
And I was unprepared for all the things that came along with you
“Hey, ready to go,” Michael said out of the room with his coat on. He noticed her expression. “What’s wrong?”
“Over there,” she pointed. “Is that who I think it is?”
Vaughn looked in the direction of her finger, and his face fell too, “I think so. Francie and Logan…gosh, what nerve she has.”
“Let’s go,” Sydney said angrily and pulled Vaughn toward the exit.
“So, where do you want to eat?” he asked when they got out of the store.
Sydney opened her side of Vaughn’s car, “I don’t really care.”
“Gumby, he’s a scumbag. Forget him,” he assured.
“It’s not him, it’s her. I mean, I thought she was my friend. I thought she had sense! She knows what he did to me. I told her; but obviously she has no common sense!” she ranted.
“Chinese it is,” he said heading in the direction of ‘Kang’s Garden’.
Sydney smiled, “Thank you.”
“Anything for my Gumby,” he said stopping at a stoplight.
“You’re too perfect,” she flattered leaning in for kiss.

Chapter 23
The Truth about Forever
I swear that I can go on forever again
Please let me know that my one bad day will end
“Truth” Sydney smiled as she sat back on that block of cement from before.
“You know how crazy I think you are for making me do this?” Vaughn laughed.
“Yes, I do” Sydney smiled, “but it’s my turn…so…ask a REAL question”
“Do you have any regrets?” Vaughn asked her.
“About what?” Sydney looked at him.
“Us” Vaughn told her.
“No, none, never” Sydney shook her head.
Vaughn smiled and nodded before taking her hands and kissing them gently.
“Do you ever think about him?” Sydney asked, she knew that he knew whom she was referring to.
“All the time” Vaughn nodded.
I will go down as your lover, your friend
Give me your lips and with one kiss we begin
“You know, I think we play the vaguest form of this game possible” Sydney laughed.
“Yeah, probably…um…what is the biggest mistake you have ever made?” Vaughn asked.
“I don’t really think of anything as a mistake. It’s more of an opportunity to not do the same thing twice. I mean… if I had to choose, I guess I’d choose the Logan ordeal, but good things did come out of that” Sydney paused and Vaughn raised his eyebrow, “We came out of that”
“Okay, good point” Vaughn nodded as he continued to hold her hand.
“What’s your craziest dream?” Sydney asked him.
“I never remember my dreams” Vaughn winked.
“Fine- don’t tell me” Sydney laughed.
Are you afraid of being alone
Cause I am
“Sydney I don’t remember my dreams” Vaughn told her.
“mhmmm” Sydney rolled her eyes.
“You are SO difficult. My question…um…was it all bad, with Logan?” Vaughn asked.
Sydney sighed, “I knew one day we were actually going to talk about this…and no…it wasn’t…in fact... a lot of it; most of it was great. It just went bad near the end” Sydney told him.
“ok” Vaughn nodded.
“How many times did you want to kill him?” Sydney laughed.
“Every single time I saw him” Vaughn smiled.
“Lovely” Sydney shook her head.
“Did he ever hit you…other than that one time I saw it…” Vaughn asked her.
I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of leaving tonight
“No, he didn’t” Sydney shook her head.
“Are you lying to me?” Vaughn asked.
“Michael, let’s not have this conversation ok? He only hit me that once, and that was one time too many” Sydney told him.
“Alright” Vaughn nodded; not wanting to pick a fight after all they had been through recently.
“Thanks” Sydney smiled, “what’s your biggest fear?” Sydney asked him.
“Failure” Vaughn nodded.
Cause I am
I'm lost without you
“You could never fail” Sydney smiled.
“I’m pretty sure I could” Vaughn laughed.
“No, I’m positive that you couldn’t; you’re too perfect” Sydney smiled.
“I’ll trust you on that” Vaughn laughed.
I'll leave my room open till sunrise for you
I'll keep my eyes patiently focused on you
Where are you now I can hear footsteps I'm dreaming
“What’s your biggest fear?” Vaughn asked her.
“I don’t know” Sydney shrugged.
“Yes you do” Vaughn laughed.
“Nuhuh” Sydney shook her head.
“Syd please tell me?” Vaughn began to pout.
“MICHAEL!” Sydney laughed.
“Tell me” Vaughn poked his lip out further.
“Fine, you really want to know?” Sydney asked him.
“Yes” Vaughn nodded.
“My biggest fear, on top of anything else in the world” Sydney took a deep breath, “is living my life without you”
And if you will
Keep me from waking to believe this
