Sad to say this book is almost over but, on a better note,

I meant to put this in last chapter, but anyways! Happy New Year y'all!! How's your 2021 been so far?

"Welcome to live at the Orpheum." The announcer speaks, "Now give it up for JV and the Phantoms!" 

The crowd cheers.

Julie and Violet sustain their walk to the stage. Julie places the dahlia onto the piano before talking into the mic, "Hi, I'm Julie"

"And I'm Violet." 

"um, tonight, we'd like to dedicate our performance to my mom who's been there every time I've played. And thank her for not giving up on me." Julie looks up.

"We'd also like to dedicate this performance to three special friends. Who have changed our lives completely. Who have brought music back to us. It was their dream to play here and this is for them." Violet sadly smiled.

"This song is for anyone whose lost their way. Step back into your greatness. Don't give up. Stand tall." Julie introduces the song. 

She places the microphone back into the stand and began playing the piano.

Violet:

Don't blink, no, I don't want to miss it
One thing, and it's back to the beginning
'Cause everything is rushing in fast

Keep going on, never look back

Julie:

And it's one, two, three, four times
That I'll try for one more night
Light a fire in my eyes

I'm going out of my mind

Violet and Julie:

Whatever happens, even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall, I'ma stand tall
Whatever happens, even when everything's down
I'ma stand tall, I'ma stand tall
I gotta keep on dreaming
'Cause I gotta catch that feeling
Whatever happens, even if I'm the last standing

I'ma stand tall, I'ma stand tall.

 Alex then appears with his drums making the girls smile.

Julie:

Right now, I'm loving every minute

Reggie also appears right as Julie starts.

Hands down, can't let myself forget it, no
'Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep holding on, never look back

Violet:

And it's one, two, three, four times

Violets voice slightly wavers but goes unnoticed by the audience as Luke flickers. 

That I'll try for one more night
Light a fire in my eyes

She stares with hopeful eyes, just waiting for him to stay.

Violet and Luke:

I'm going out of my mind. 

A giant grin spreads on both of their faces.
