The Moment I Knew. // Chandler Riggs Fanfiction.

Chapter 45

The dancers were dancing and then there came a video of me talking. I looked like I came straight outta the 40s/50s.
"Isn't it strange how it all happens? All my life I dreamt about bright lights, big city. You know, they tell you it's gonna be glamorous and they tell you that you have got everything. And no one tells you how it's gonna be. And they don't tell you when you're twirling in front of the mirror as a child what papers are gonna say about you someday. Cause they don't tell you they're building you up just to try to knock you down. But they haven't yet." The video stopped playing. The music started singing and I sat on this beautiful couch thingy, and with the dancers IT LOOKED SO PERFECT.

"New to town with a made up name in the angel's city,
Chasing fortune and fame.
And the camera flashes, make it look like a dream.

You had it figured out since you were in school.
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool.
So overnight you look like a sixties' queen.

Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky.

And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one.
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one.
But can you tell me now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh...

Now it's big black cars, and Riviera views,
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page.

And they tell you that you're lucky.
But you're so confused,
'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used.
And all the young things line up to take your place.

Another name goes up in lights. You wonder if you'll make it out alive.

And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one.
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one.
Can you tell me now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.

It was a few years later, I showed up here.
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared,
How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out.
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere,
Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square,
And it took some time, but I understand it now.

'Cause now my name is up in lights, but I think you got it right,

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one.
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one.
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.

Yeah they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one.
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one.
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, whoa, oh, oh."
I finished singing. The loudest noise of screaming I heard, it was unbelievable. I went down with the elevator to get dressed again.
