Song: Forever Young by Youth Group

2 Years later

It was something that was never meant to be broken. Unfortunately though, things never went the way you planned.

They were meant to be together forever. Life was going to pass by and they'd spend every second together. Nothing would tear them apart.

"Have I told you I love you today?" Daniella asked Joe.

"You've probably said it a couple hundred times but that's something I never get tired of hearing."

She wrapped her arms around Joe's neck and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I love you."

"I love you too angel."

Their plan was to live together; their plan was to die together.

"I never want to be without you," Joe said to Daniella.

"I never want to be without you either," Daniella said.

He kissed her hard making sure he got the passion and love across.

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

"Joe my mom took me to the doctor today."

"Really?" Joe asked, starting to get worried. "What happened?"

"It's back."

Joe's eyes watered as Daniella's did. He pulled her into a tight hug and held her. All she could do was cry and all he could do was wonder why this was happening to her.

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Flashback

"Forever young! Woo!" Daniella yelled, running through the sprinklers of the park.

It was almost midnight but she and Joe didn't care. They were celebrating Daniella's health. She was back to normal and stronger than ever.

"Nobody can take my baby away, she's a fighter," Joe said.

"Ha ha!" she smiled widely and he kissed her.

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men

Flashback

Daniella watched as Joe and his brothers rocked out to 'When you look me in the Eyes'. Every time Joe opened his mouth she closed her eyes and got lost. Every note was beautiful and she imagined the words sliding off his tongue and filling her ears. He was perfect and he was hers.

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? Forever young

Flashback

"Die young or live forever?" Daniella asked Joe.

"As long as you are there with me I don't care."

"No wonder you're a songwriter."

He grabbed her hand.

"I do everything for you."

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young

"I don't understand death," Joe said, picking at the grass around him.

Daniella sat in front of him, her extremely short hair popping out from under her beanie.

"It's another meant to be." She linked her fingers with his. "Kind of like we are."

"But why can't we all go at the same time?"

"We're all different. We were all put here for different reasons. At some point though we'll all be gone."

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever

"You're eighteen Daniella. This can't be happening. You're the strongest person I know. You can fight this, you can…"

"I've done all I can. You can't fight fate or destiny. The day you're born, is the day you start dying."

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

"But there was so much we didn't do."

"Joe we did everything. We met each other, we fell in love and we shared all that we could. You're the one person I never doubted and the only person I solely trusted. I love you and I need you to tell me you love me and promise me you'll move on."

Daniella sat up and kissed his forehead.

"I want you to be happy no matter what."

"Without you that's impossible."

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

"It wasn't supposed to be like this. We were going to be young forever… we're supposed to live forever," Joe said, gripping Daniella's hand tightly.

The smell of death was around him and he knew time was running out.

She looked at him, her eyes full of sadness and pain.

"We'll always be together. I'll always be in here." She put her hand over his heart. "Remember everything we did, all the fun we had together."

Her breaths were short and quick and Joe didn't want to let her go.

"I'm not going anywhere Joe. You've always been the reason I lived and breathed. You pushed me to go on and as long as you're walking this earth I will be too."

Joe couldn't fight the tears back anymore.

She closed her eyes for a second.

"No, Daniella you have to stay with me ok? You need to keep breathing and just stay with me."

She nodded and kept her eyes open and focused on his.

"You're so beautiful," she said to him.

This only made him cry more.

He picked up her limp body and hugged her. Daniella used all her strength to put her arms around him and she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I'll always be with you," she said into his ear.

She kissed his neck.

"I'll always love you."

He wrapped his arms tighter around her.

"I'll always love you too."

The grip around his body loosened and he knew she was gone. He clenched his teeth as he laid her back down. He laid down next to her and put his arm under her head.

"I know you're still here Daniella. We can't live forever, but I know you will."

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
