No one's in sight It's just you and me

'That's how is always was. How it always used to be. Just us two, no one else.'

Let's get back to who we used to be

'I wish things would just go back to normal. Before the sleepover, before the failed stunt.'

Don't let them tell you that you're not worth the time

'She was amazing. Anyone who thought otherwise was stupid.'

You are mine

'I loved her. So much. I still do.'

Hold me too tight I don't wanna breathe

'The only person who could make me happy.'

I can't live if you decide to leave

'She's gone now. Chess is gone now.'

Don't let them tell you that you're gonna be fine You are mine

Kate laid down on her bed, staring at the ceiling.

We've gone too far to go back now

She just felt numb.

We are lost and delirious

And empty.

And can't be found

Kate thought of everything that happened That Night. The things she should've said instead of what she actually said.

To all those ghosts

From the corner of her eye, Kate could see a figure that flickered in and out of existenc. Not fully there but not fully gone.

That follow you around

Kate started seeing her after That Night.

Say we're lost and delirious

She couldn't think properly.

And can't be found we are lost and delirious

Her friend was gone.

And alone now

Kate was alone. Again.

Say that you'll hear me

Nothing new, really. She was used to it.

Say I'm still in your heart

After all, everyone leaves at some point. Right?

Don't let demons tear your world apart

Kate felt tears prick at her eyes.

They're just jealous of the way we shine

From the corner of her room, a ghost watched her friend.

You are mine

Chess watched Kate with sad eyes. Wanting so badly to go up to her friend and hold her.

And every pain that tries to come our way

To apologies to her.

We won't hurt if we're standing tall

To tell her that everything's going to be okay.

We'll run away

But she can't do that.

I'll catch you when you fall

Chess wishes she could. So badly.

Spread my wings and soar

But she can't.

I am your's

Kate was right.

I am your's

Promises always break.

We've gone too far to go back now

Atleast, this one did.

We are lost and delirious and can't be found

Kate continued to stare at the ceiling.

To all those ghosts

She wanter to get up. To do something. Maybe talk to the ghost in the corner of her room but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

To all those ghosts that follow you around

Kate wondered if Annleigh saw them too.

Say we're lost and delirious and can't be found

Thinking about that just made her want to cry more.

We are lost and delirious and alone now

Kate sometimes wishes she could drown herself in drugs like Chess did. It would make her feel happier, right?

To all those ghosts that follow you around

But Chess wouldn't want that.

Say we're lost and delirious

Kate missed her friend. So much. She'd even thought of joining her at times.

We've gone too far to go back now

But

We are lost and delirious and can't be found

Chess wouldn't want that.

To all those ghosts that follow you around

Four months later, Kate finds herself at Riley's doorstep for the second sleepover. She didn't want to go.

Say we're lost and delirious

But she needed to get Mattie out of prison.

And can't be found

For Mattie and Chess.

We are lost and delirious

Kate takes a deep breath and steps inside the house.

And alone now

"This was so not a good idea."
