Happy Ending (A Monchele Story)

What happened?

Cory
"Is she ok?!" Ryan says walking in the room well, more like running. "Ryan?" She smiles. "Is she ok?" He asks us. "Bear help?" Ryan blinks, as I speak up. "She OD'D" I say as she lays on me. "How?" He asks. "Jordan Lynx, the guy who basically was Riley's dealer at one point." She says and we all know him. "He broke in to the bathroom as I was on the toilet and says; "Take this or I will drown you." I hug her tight. "Then I felt an arm grab me and jab me with a full syringe of coke or some shit." I hug her. "Get some rest Jazzy." I say and she falls asleep kissing my arm. Ryan looks at Lea and me. "Don't worry we called the police already." She says giving him a smile, he takes a seat. "How has she been?" I smile. "She's been doing good." I say as she puts her arms around my neck, hugging me as she snores in my ear. "You know I always pictured you two together." He says, I just smile politely. "We get  that a lot." Lea laughs. "They're just adopted siblings." She kisses our heads. "You wanna go grab some food for them?" Lea says, he nods and they walk out. "Lee?" I call and she comes back, kissing me, and then heads back out to the cafeteria. "In the basement of an empty house
I slept on the floor like a vagrant
I braved a Minnesota winter night
And drove to a movie feeling lonely
And as I thawed my heart out by the light
Of the silver screen
I was unaware that you were there
In the dark, a silhouette
Was climbing up the stairs
And what I thought
In the parking lot
Was like, I just wanna know your name
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words
Be brave
Wildflower knew I wasn't well
But on the kitchen floor I got better again
I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
And there, I was understood for the first time in my life
'Cause that's when I was introduced to true
Serendipity
I knew it when
You showed up again
In the snow, I was always told
Your heart is where you're home
And what I thought
In the coffee shop
Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Okay, I'll be brave
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Okay, I'll be brave
And in my mind
After all this time
I think, ain't life beautiful and strange
I'm blown away
With no words to say
'Cause I, I'll forever be amazed
How I learned the meaning of the phrase
Be brave
Be brave
Be brave." I sing softly watching Jasmine sleep. "I saw the autumn leaves peel up off the street,
Take wing on the balmy breeze and sweep you off your feet.
And you blushed as they scooped you up on sugar maple wings,
To gaze down on the city below, ablaze with wondrous things.
Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere.
Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't want to live there.
I wouldn't wanna live there.
Weighed down by heavy lids and lunar lullabies,
I knew you were wide awake because you smile with your eyes.
Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere.
Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't want to live there.
From the green belt balcony, the wildfires look so pretty.
Ponderosa canopy, I'd never leave if it were up to me.
To the ruby redwood tree, and to the velvet climbing ivy:
Painted all mahogany, I'd never leave if it were up to me.
With a starry brush, paint the dusk Venetian blue,
Because in the evening hush, you'll never believe the view.
And when the leaves return and their whisperings fill the night,
They'll freeze and burn where fire and ice collide.
Where fire and ice collide.
Can you feel a silk embrace in the satin air?
If we dissolve without a trace, will the real world even care?
Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere.
Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't want to live there.
I wouldn't want to live there.
I saw the autumn leaves peel up off the street,
Take wing on the balmy breeze and sweep you off your feet." I smile falling asleep. When Lea and Ryan arrive, I wake up followed by Jasmine groaning and sitting up. She softly sings. "I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
Picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud nine
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
But I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake." We all smile.
