Olivia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to sing. Not for herself, but for the memory that lived inside her chest like a quiet bruise.
The opening chords were soft, the melody slow and aching.
(Olivia)
I can't presume
To know what you think
I can't assume
How you feel.
I can’t begin to think
What you might have gone through
But do know that
I am here
Always for you.
A sudden shift in the crowd made her open her eyes.
Zack was walking toward the stage.
Without hesitation, he joined her.
(Zack)
Let people say
Whatever they want
If you want
Fight back
Or don’t retaliate at all
Stella stepped forward and took her place beside him, her voice sliding into the harmony as she moved to the synthesizer. Zack took his place behind the drums.
(Stella)
Because I am not going to stand still
And not react at all
Come forward
Or don’t move at all
Cause I will walk towards you
And move forward with you.
Take hold of my hand
Clasp onto it tightly
Don’t let it go
Cause I won’t let you go
Never let you go
Just be with me
Just be around us
Because your presence is just not enough
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You being with us
Means everything to us
You are the world to us
(Olivia)
Your memories will be forever us
Embraced in our heart
Remembered by us
Cherished by all
(Zack)
Go where ever you want
A sky, moon, or mars
Be who you want
A sun, light, or star
(All)
Just know that
You will always be
A shining star to us
A brightening light to us
Cause you are not just a friend
As our friendship has no real end
(Stella)
