“Is she really about to out us to the world?” Liam questions in disbelief.
“I swear to god, I’m going to kill whoever gave her fucking coffee,” Nate growls.
I’m standing there, watching in disbelief.Is she really going to?
This is all so new. None of us has been able to process this yet.
Panic starts to fill me. I didn’t even think about being in the spotlight. I’m not ready for that.
“But unfortunately, that’s all I can say about the situation.” The whole crowd boos. “Sorry, sorry.” She raises her hands up. “All in good time. Good things come to those who wait. Trust me, I’d know. So, how about I make it up to you all for leaving you on that little bit of a cliffhanger, and sing you a never before released song?”
They chant,“New song! New song!”and I let out a breath of relief.
“I just lost five years off my life,” Nate groans, placing his hand on his heart.
“I’m going to kill her,” Liam growls. “Why does she like to fuck with us like that?” he growls.
“This song is for that person I mentioned. It’s their birthday today, by the way, so wish them a happy birthday!”
A surprised smile shifts my lips as tears form in my eyes. She remembered?
“I’m sure they thought I'd forgotten. But I could never. This is for you, you know who you are.”
Ally sits on a stool, taking an acoustic guitar from someone who brings it out to her.
She strums it a couple of times before she starts playing the song. It has this slow, haunting melody.
When she starts to sing, my soul ignites, her voice like a siren calling, putting me at the mercy of her spell.
––––––––
You're gone, but I’m here. With a broken heart and broken tears.
A life with regrets, you're not one. If I could go back, I’d have bitten my tongue.
Each and every day, the world goes round.
Leaving me behind, while I’m stuck here, with my feet on the ground.
I can’t move forward, I can’t go back.
My life in limbo, mind on display, with flashes of memories holding me in place.
Late night wonders, keeping me awake. The eyes that haunt me, any time I fade– into darkness. I can’t stop this.
Silent whispers, echoes in my mind. Your voice an imprint, tattooed on my spine– drag me under. Take me now.
I can’t breathe without you. I can’t think.
Surrounded by quicksand with the timer running out.
I’m screaming into the void, hoping you can hear me.
Because you're the only one who can save me. But will you save me?
Late night wonders, keeping me awake. The eyes that haunt me, any time I fade– into darkness. I can’t stop this.
Silent whispers, echoes in my mind. Your voice an imprint, tattooed on my spine– drag me under. Take me now.
