He's Still Here For Me:' | part two - more tears... but they weren't all sad
my high school life - in one shots
here's part two of the one shot. oh - the reason for the main in this oneshot is that I wanted a person who doesn't always talk but doesn't need to say what he means. Minho just seemed perfect for this oneshot.
It's been a week since Vern had passed on. There were some good things that occured during that week. Kibum finally asked out Ana and they're happily dating. Carolyn and her mother finally talked out their problems and she's going to stay at our school. I started to talk to guys more to forget about Minho. Things seemed to be going okay... until the day my friend Yuki showed me a video on Youtube.
My friends, David, Wa and Ger, dedicated and wrote a song for Vern, who was also known as Lo. The minute I finished hearing the song - I quickly converted it and put it on my mp3 player. From then on, all I listened to was that song.
Every day after school, we would hang out by ROTC. We would joke around, eat,and laugh together. Today was different though - this time, I was the last one to go home. Everyone had made plans and left for them. I, unfortunately, had to wait another two hours because my house was too far for anyone to drop me off and my dad got out in about two hours.
All I could do was sit there and listen to "Lo The One and Only" on repeat. I thought, "Eh, I think I can handle being by myself today." Ha ha funny thing - my mp3 player died after ten minutes.
"! Did I forget to charge it last night?" I moaned. "Son of a !"
All I could do now is sit in silence. My eyes were still on my mp3 player. It was the last thing that Vern had given me before it happened. Tears were starting to form when a foreign sound played from not so far away:
"You okay?"
I looked up. It was Minho!
I told him in an indifferent voice, holding back the tears that were wanting to be set free, "Uh... yea? Why do you ask?"
He looked at my mp3 player and walked toward me. I felt really uncomfortable when he did that, but I couldn't move. He then sat next to me. I didn't expect what happened next. "Here."
He put his earphones around my ear, I don't like to put them in my ear if I'm going to blast the volume up - it hurts, his iPOD and played a familiar song. He then grabbed me, pulling me closer to him as the words spilled out of the earphones:
Remembering those days.
When things was okay
always have a smile on your face
you can't be replaced.
when someone is feeling down,
Hoping you’re around.
Coming to their aid at the speed of sound.
You’re a friend of a friend.
A bond that can’t be bend
You’re a hero in our hearts, that I cannot lie.
I wish I knew you more, before the day I die
Hope the kids carry on the family name
Without you, things will not be the same
As we maintain and continue to struggle.
We will try, to stay out of trouble
Just the thought, it’s driving me insane
Thinking back, there’s nothing to gain
all the memories wouldn't fade away
We will live it up, till this very day.
Tears shed, but life will go on.
Be proud of what you did, and stay strong

I was startled that he had this song. "Why of all songs -"
"Don't try to hide how you really feel."
"What?" My eyes widened.
"Did you already forget that we are friends? That you know me as much as I know you? I know you are still hurting after what happened to Vern so I got the song from my friend. His brother is David, you know?" Minho shared.
All of a sudden, I started to cry. I couldn't believe that he was talking to me or even holding me - it's been so long...
Minho then pulled me even closer so I could cry on his shoulder.
"Never bottle in your feelings, Jen. It's better to let it out."
I sat there crying until my dad came to pick me up. By then, my tears made my eyes heavy and I was fast asleep. Dad even told me that Minho stayed with me the whole time until I was safely in my bed. Dad then dropped Minho off home. I always wondered why I still loved him after so many years... now I remember why.
