Chapter 8

Alana’s POV

Okay let’s see. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I have a crush on Louis. I read a book where when the girl came to realize she liked the guy, they got together and lived happily ever after. Okay that was my mom’s story, and happily ever after lasted for her, but not for us. I just hope that happily ever after runs in the family.

We were driving around town trying to find the meeting place for, well, a meeting. I was singing quietly to the radio, not as loud as I usually would, but just enough so I could hear myself, and maybe the others could hear me, but I wasn’t sure.

The song changed on the radio and the one that came on was one of my favorites.

Long live the reckless and the brave

I don't think I want to be saved

My song has not been sung

So long live us

I sang my heart out as loud as I could and did so with the rest of the song.

Looking out at a town called Suburbia

Everybody's just fighting to fit in

Little rats running mazes, having babies

It's a vicious little world that we live in

Looking back at a life on the other side

I realize that I didn't fit in

Didn't hate it, but I didn't quite relate it

To my precious little world.

Chorus

So long live the reckless and the brave

I don't think I want to be saved

My song has not been sung

And long live the fast times, so come what may.

I don't think I'll ever be saved

Our song has not been sung

Long live us

Breaking out of a town called Suburbia

I remember everybody always saying:

"Little brat must be crazy, never make it, in our vicious little world."

Still I'm leaving

Got a van, got a chance, got my dignity

Got a dream, got a spark, got somewhere to be

Take a breath , say goodbye

To their precious little world

Chorus

So long live the reckless and the brave

I don't think I want to be saved

My song has not been sung

And long live the fast times, so come what may.

I don't think I'll ever be saved

Our song has not been sung

Long live us

Long live us

Chorus
