ADELINE'S POV

"... Whenever youu rememberrr," my mother sang to me. 

"That was beautiful, mom," I grinned. We were in the same white landscape, and she'd appeared to me once again... this time, with a song for me. 

"I'm glad you like it. It's how I feel, sweetheart. This song is a message from me to you. I want you to be happy when you think of me... not sad," she caressed my arm. I smiled at her.

"Do you mind if I sing it at our shows?" I asked. She beamed at me, flashing her perfect teeth.

"Oh, of course not, baby! I would love that!" she hugged me. I squeezed her close, and she even smelled the same... like white gardenia. 

"You'll be watching, right?"

"Of course I will, sweetheart. For now, though, I have to go. I love you Adeline," she whispered. I sighed, and held tighter.

"Just a little longer... please, mama, just a little longer..." I begged.

"I'm sorry, baby. I love you..." she faded away completely, and I yelled out for her. The white landscape swirled into complete blackness, and I panicked. 

"Mom! Don't.. don't leave me!" I cried into the darkness. "Come back, mama! Come back!" I sobbed. 

"Adeline! Adeline, wake up! Adeline!" a male voice echoed loudly throughout the blackness. What? No! I can't wake up! I need to see my mama! I need to find her! 

"Mama!" I cried out once again. Suddenly, the ground began to shake. I trembled violently, and looked around, seeing nothing.

"Gah!" I awoke, being shaken by Ronnie. I lay there, gazing into his face, gasping for breath. 

"Adeline... are you ok?" he asked concernedly, pushing my hair from my face. I nodded slowly.

"Yeah...: I murmured, tears streaking my cheeks, leaving dry trails. I gazed into his deep eyes, and relaxed. My eyes trailed down to his full, parted lips, and the small black patch of hair underneath them. I swallowed, and licked my lips, imagining what it would taste like to kiss him... suddenly, my mom's song came flooding through my mind, and I gasped, sitting straight up.

"The song!" I whipped the covers off my bare legs, and raced to Alexx's room. I pulled out our songbooks, and grabbed Marissa's virtual keyboard. Ronnie followed me into the living area, where I hurriedly scribbled down the lyrics. Using the melody of the words, I started to form a piano part to complement it.

"Adeline... it's one in the morning. Come back to bed," Ronnie groaned groggily. I shook my head.

"No... I have to get this done. I have to..." I muttered, already absolutely consumed in the music. 

"Okaaay, well, don't stress yourself too bad," he told me, then his bedroom door shut. Once I finished the piano part- a good hour and a half later- I started on the drumbeat.
