-ON HOLD- Afterwards

Part 6: Once In A Lifetime

This chapter is mostly Allison singing, but there are parts in-between songs, so you can just skip over the Italic to read them.

*Allison's POV* 

"Where is everyone?" I ask when the nurse and I come back to my room. I had gotten through therapy my last therapy session today, so I could walk on my own now.

"I'm not sure, stay here and I'll be right back." She tells me. After waiting for about three minutes, I walk out of the room and begin running.

I don't know where I was going, but at the same time it seemed as if I knew. I have no recollection of being at this hospital before, though, how could I possibly know the way anywhere? Was I remembering something?

A laugh escapes my mouth when I hear one of my doctors shouting my name as I continue to run. Why was I doing this? Don't I know how to obey the rules? Maybe not, but what if this is who I was? What if I played by my own rules 24-7?

"Allison!" He calls after me.

"There's a lightning in your eyes, I can't deny

Then there's me inside a sinking boat running out of time

Without you I'll never make it out alive

But I know, yes I know, we'll be alright." I sing, the lyrics in my head and throat coming out of no where. How did I learn these things?

"There's a devil in your smile, it's chasing me

And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed

There's a moment when you finally realize

There's no way you can change the rolling tide

But I know, yes I know, that I'll be fine

This time I'm ready to run

Escape from the city and follow the sun

'Cause I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine?

I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night

This time I'm ready to run

Wherever you are is the place I belong

'Cause I wanna be free, and I wanna be young

I will never look back now I'm ready to run

I'm ready to run

There's a future in my life I can't foresee

Unless, of course, I stay on course and keep you next to me

There will always be the kind that criticize

But I know, yes, I know we'll be alright

This time I'm ready to run

Escape from the city and follow the sun

'Cause I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine?

I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night

This time I'm ready to run

Wherever you are is the place I belong

'Cause I wanna be free, and I wanna be young

I will never look back now I'm ready to run

This time I'm ready to run

I'd give everything that I got for your love
