Ugh...I know this chapter's so short...I'll update soon!
Ember
Ember had wandered around for a while, recognizing everything; she was in Dimsdale again! She passed by a huge poster, and stared at it in surprise; Chip Skylark live in concert, today at 10:00! She gasped, then practically assaulted the next passer-by; "Tell me the time!" she yelled. The woman was terrified and stuttered out that it was ten to ten. Ember gasped. When the woman had run off, Emebr floated through the wall of the concert hall and stared.
There was a huge mass of girls -and one man- who were all wearing Chip shirts and hats and waving Chip flags. They were all shouting, and then Chip appeared on stage. Ember gasped; he looked just the same as before. Her eyes filled as she made her way through the throng of insane girls. Life is just unfair. At that moment, she realized that the only thing she really wanted was to be with Chip forever...but that was impossible now...because she was dead.
When the concert ended, and the crowd all filed out, still cheering and waving their flags and autographed faces, Ember sat on a chair in the back row as everyone left. The lights switched off, and she was left in the darkenss with her glowing turquoise hair the only light. She began to cry silently, knowing that all she was now was part of Chip's past, and not of his future.
Chip
Chip was alone in the dark concert hall when he suddenly saw a turquoise light in the far corner of the auditorium. He squinted at it, and realized it was a ponytail...the same ponytail he'd seen on Ember on the TV...could she really be...? He made his way towards her, stumbling a little in the dark, still hearing her song echoing in his head...and the realized that she was singing...
Ember
Ember, still crying, began to sing. Her voice echoed all around the empty amphitheatre, sounding very haunting. Your life goes on without me...My life, a losing game... She wiped away her tears in frustration, and had just gotten up to leave when a warm hand fell on her cold shoulder. She whipped around to see Chip Skylark looking at her, partly with wonder and partly with confusion.
"Ember?" he asked uncertainly. Ember nodded and hugged him, tears spilling from her eyes and getting his sweater wet. She couldn't speak for crying. She felt like she was being crushed; the one person she'd ever really loved, her town, her past...she didn't belong anymore. His life was going on without her, and all she would ever be able to do is watch him live.
