6 months later (flash forward)

"Dad?" I asked.

"Yes hunny?" He said, sitting on the bed.

"Will you sing me a song?"

"What song?" He grabbed his guitar and tuned it.

"The light behind your eyes by My Chemical Romance." I snuggled into my bed while he began to strum.

"So long to all my friends

Everyone of them met tragic ends

With every passing day

I'd be lying if I didn't say

That I miss them all tonight

And if only they knew what I would say

If I could be with you tonight

I'd sing you to sleep

And never let them take the light behind your eyes

One day I'll lose this fight

As we fade into the dark

Just remember you will always burn bright

Be strong and hold my hand

Time becomes for us, you'll understand

We'll say goodbye today

And were sorry how it ends today

If you promise not to cry

Then I'd tell you what I'd say

If I could be with you tonight

I'd sing you to sleep

And never let them take the light behind your eyes

One day I'll lose this fight

As we fade into the dark

Just remember you'll always burn bright

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your

You must grow stronger

But you can't be stronger in the dark

When I'm here, no longer

You must be stronger and

If I could be with you tonight

I'd sing you to sleep

And never let them take the light behind your eyes

One day I'll lose this fight

As we fade into the dark

Just remember you'll always burn just as bright

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes."

I started to cry. Gerard wiped them away and hugged me.

"It's okay baby." He said, stroking my hair. I held his hand.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" He asked. I nodded. He got under the duvet with me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around her neck and put my head on his chest.

"I love you." He stroked my hair out of my face and kissed the end of my nose. I smiled and closed my eyes, the song repeating in my head.
