"Bring Me To Life"
Ellie and Paige sat down across from each other in the restaurant booth. Ellie looked at Paige. Ellie's eyes were thankful.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors? Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb, without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home.
"Thank you for helping me. Are you sure you have time to do this?" Ellie asked. Paige grinned. "I'll always have time for you, El." The waiter came and asked them what they wanted. Both said Coca-Cola and a burger with fries. Once the waiter left, they continued their conversation. "No, Paige. If it wasn't for you I might be dead. I would have committed suicide. You saved my life."
Wake me up inside, wake me up inside. Call my name and save me from the dark. Bid my blood to run, before I come undone. Save me from the nothing I've become.
"No, I didn't. You saved your own life." Paige replied. "How is that?" Ellie didn't understand. "In the school bathroom. You never would have done it in there if you didn't want someone to see you." "Oh Paige, and I'm so glad it was use that saw me." Ellie exclaimed. Paige smiled. "And why is that?"
Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me to life.
"Because, anyone else wouldn't have understood." Ellie answered. "That might not be true." Paige said. "I don't care. The point is, you're the only one who cares about me right now. Paige, you're such a great friend. I cannot thank you enough. I owe you everything." "I just did what anyone who cares would do."
Wake me up inside, wake me up inside. Call my name and save me from the dark. Bid my blood to run, before I come undone. Save me from the nothing I've become. Bring me to life.
Their food came, and they ate in silence. When they were done, Paige paid and they went back to Ellie's house. Ellie let Paige in, blushing shamefully. Ellie's mother was passed out on the floor. Again. Ellie let out a frustrated sob, and she turned away from Paige. Paige frowned sadly, wondering how she'd deal if her mother did that. "Let's go to your room," Paige whispered. "If that's okay." Ellie nodded and led Paige into her room. Paige walked towards the compass lying on the floor. She picked it up, and put it in her pocket. Ellie looked like she was about to protest. "Its for your own good." Paige said simply.
Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling. Only you are the life among the dead. Ellie sighed. "But-" Paige shook her head. "NO. I will NOT allow you to hurt yourself again. Let me be your compass. Call me. Talk to me. Don't cut. Don't bleed." Ellie picked up Paige's number off of the floor. She took a thumbtack and tacked Paige's number to the wall beside her bed. Ellie cleared her throat. "Are you spending the night?" she asked Paige. Paige considered. "Do you want me to?" Ellie nodded slowly.
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see. Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me. I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems. Got to open my eyes to everything.
"Ok. Since you want me to stay, I will stay. I promise you I'll always be here for you. You have my word." Paige solemnly swore. Ellie nodded. "And your word is the most powerful thing in the world."
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul. Don't let me die here, there must be something more. Bring me to life.
And they talked all night.
