How can I, hold a mirror up to your eyes,

Speak the way, you can understand what's inside,

You've been broken down in a thousand different ways,

I've been looking over pictures and you hardly look the same,

I can see it from a mile that the way you smile has changed,

But you don't know.

It's hard for me to sit and watch you getting sick when all I do is try,

Only you can dig yourself out just before you break down,

Only you can lift yourself up just before you get stuck,

All of this pain spread all over your face,

All I want to do is help you out of this place,

Only you, so hurry up now just before you run out of time,

Before you run out of time.

Beautiful that's the only way I see you,

Nobody else can love you in the way that I do,

Sometimes I get worried that you're taking up too much,

And it's crazy where we're living doesn't give a fuck,

If only we could paddle to a place that was you and I.

Before you run out of time,

You could run out of time.

[la la la x 1000]

You could run out of time

***Time Lapse: The Weekend***

Everyone showed up to Tom's and Kelsey's wedding. Max, Jay, Nath, and Seev were all best men while Sara, China, Nareesha, and Audrey were all brides' maids.

After the small ceremony in the park, the men (aside from Tom) went out for drinks while the women (aside from Kelsey) and children spent time chatting together. Soon however, it began raining.

"Shit! Guess we'll be going. Got a good drive ahead of us." Nareesha stated, rounding her children up.

The other women agreed, and gathered their families together and piled into their cars to drive home.

***Time Lapse: A Week***

Nareesha's POV

The rain started pouring harder, distorting my vision and ability to drive. I slowed down to allow time for the rain to pass. A clap of thunder sounded and an eerie flash of lightning lit up the sky. Hopefully everyone else was being safe.

Emergency Worker's POV

"911, what's your emergency?"

"Yeah, there's been a multi-vehicle accident! I think someone might be dead!"

"Alright calm down sir, now you said someone might be dead?"

"Y-yeah. Some chick's been thrown from her car! There's three kids in the car that look pretty banged up and there's a semi laying in a ditch…oh God it's a mess. Got his face all smashed in. Hurry up and send help!"

"Alright sir, I need you to tell us where you are and we'll send help…"

Jay's POV

I came home around midnight. Surprisingly, I didn't get as wasted as I thought I would, but I still came home and crashed.
