A New Dauntless Legend

Chapter 9

It's been ten years since Taren and I broke. Ten years to this day. All I know about him is that he is married to a women named Alexis, and he has a six year old daughter.

A few years ago I became a professional singer. I do concerts all over the city and I love it. Kristen helps me with my outfits, makeup, and hair.

Raylan and Madison are married and have a seven year old son and a five year old daughter.

Lindsay and Shawn got married three years ago and are expecting their first born.

Urina and Wade are engaged.

Zander and Kristen have been married for eight years and have a five year old daughter and a two year old son.

Then there's me. I'm not married, but I have a boyfriend. It took me a while to start dating again. We have been together for one year.

I'm getting ready for a concert and Kristen is doing my hair. She puts my hair in a nice side braid, I have my hair parted in the middle, and I have a very small section of my hair, that frames my face, curled and it is just hangs there.

"It's time." One of the stage managers says

Once everything is set and ready I step out on stage.

The lights are off and the music starts. I see Taren and his wife. His little girl is on top of his shoulders and she is smiling.

"I heard you laughing in a crowd outside a restaurant we used to go to.

I caught a glimpse that stopped me in my tracks. It took me back.

You looked happy with that little girl up on your shoulders, happy. I know where she got those crystal eyes of blue. Time's been sweet to you.

As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt. I thank God I didn't get what I though that I deserved.

Sometimes life leads you down a different road. When you're holding onto someone that you gotta let go.

Someday you'll see the reason why. Sometimes, yeah sometimes, there's good in goodbye." I start, when I sing this song I start to get teary eyed.

"I don't regret it, the time we had together. I won't forget it.

But we both ended up where we belonged. I guess goodbye made us strong.

And yeah, I'm happy. I found someone too who makes me happy. And I knew one day I'd see you on the street. And it'd be bittersweet.

But as bad as it was, as bad as it hurt. I thank God I didn't get what I though I deserved.

Sometimes life leads you down a different road. When you're holding onto someone that you gotta let go.

Someday you'll see the reason why. Yeah, sometimes, yeah sometimes, there's good in goodbye. Yeah, yeah, yeah." I continue

There's a section of vocalization.

"As bad as it was, yeah as bad as it hurt. I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved. Sometimes life leads you down a different road. When you're holding onto someone that you got to let go. Someday you'll see the reason why. Yeah someday you'll see the reason why.
