What an amazing time
What a family
How did the years go by?
Now it's only me
Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Na na na na na na na
Like a cat in heat stuck in a moving car
A scary conversation
shut my eyes can't find the brake
What if they say that you're a climber?
Naturally I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares cause it's your life you never know it could be great
Take a chance cause you might grow
What you waiting for?
Take a chance you stupid ho
Like an echo pedal you're repeating yourself
You know it all by heart, why are you standing in one place?
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
your moment will run out cause of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up how our society all thinks
Life is short, you're capable
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track
What you waiting for?
I can't wait to go back and do Japan
Get me lots of brand new fans
Osaka, Tokyo
You Harajuku girls, damn you've got some wicked style.
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You go your million-dollar contract.
And they're all waiting for your hot track
What you waiting for?
Take a chance you stupid ho

Chapter 1:Promise Me
Beep! Beeeeep! BEEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEE- Annika's arm lashed out and hit the alarm clock, stopping it in mid-beep. She sat up in bed and cracked her neck.
Tick Tock
"Annika!" Came a voice from the kitchen. She smiled thinking of the french toast she would find waiting for her downstairs. She streched her arms, and arched her back, getting rid of some of the kinks.
Tick Tock
"Coming!" She could aready taste the flavor in her mouth. Slipping on her robe, she truged to the stairs, yawning.
Tick Tock
She took her first step down the stairs, followed by another. She looked down to see her cat looking up at her from the bottom of the stairs.
Tick Tock
"Hey kitty, pretty, witty!" she cood. She pursed her lips and made a kissing noise. "Come on kitty!" The cat stared.
Tick Tock
"Have it your way then." she shrugged. She took another step, but before she could finish her journey kitty had a hyper attack. She rushed up the stairs right underneath Annika's foot, pushing it backwards.
Tick Tock
The floor rushed to her face. She took another step, attempting to regain her balance. She flaialed her arms, but with no avail. Her step launched her down the stairs, flying toward the radiator at the bottom of the stairs.
Tick Tock
She let out a peircing scream, as her head cracked on the corner. Blood streamed down her face, clouding her vision. She put her hands to her head, feeling the dent there, causing pain to erupt harder than before. She cried out, as her mother came to her, to comfort her. The room swirled from underneath her. "Shhhh. Annika." Her mother cried. "No. Don't go." Annika twiched as agony shot up her spine. "I've called 911. Just hold on. DAMMIT DON'T DIE! PROMISE ME!" Annika cried harded, cause she knew she could not keep that promise.

She looked down to see her cat looking up at her from the bottom of the stairs.
She gasped. "No!" She screamed and clutched the handrail. Kitty dashed up the stairs, brushing against her leg. "No." She whispered.
"What's wrong?"
"I-I- slipped." She stammered. She closed her eyes.
"Well, are you Ok?"
Annika nodded.
"Well come and eat. And don't forget to do your homework after school today. Remember, you promised me!"
The girl's eyes widened. "Y-Yes I-I pr-romised you."
