Slowly, I sat up. I miss her so much. But why in the hell does she have to haunt my dreams!? I can't even stop thinking about her…I sighed softly, and started making my way through the thick bundle of trees. Somehow, someway, I'm going to find my way back; Back to her. I will try my hardest to make her forgive me; Even if it took an eternity; an eternity without her. My worst nightmare.

2 years later
Slowly, I approached the stage. I can't even believe I am going to do this. I glance at the cheering crowd. Posters, signs, and people are the only things I could see in this place. They really like me. What a great feeling. But you have to do this Abby you have to.
I took the microphone off the stand, and flashed a quick smile at the audience. "Hey everyone!"
The crowd cheered. I took another deep breath, and began my speech…
"Everyone, I am very glad you could make it here tonight. It means a lot to me. This has been the best two years of my life, and I wouldn't trade anything in for it. It was an awesome experience, which makes this even harder for me…to do this. Like I said, these past two years have been one big, exciting roller coaster ride for me, but…there are certain things people have to give up in life…
"I wasn't even expecting for my career to go this far…I wasn't even planning on having a career! It was just luck. And it really did take me by surprise. But…before this life, I had another one: one that I really, really loved. I was a nurse at Cook County General Hospital. And at the beginning of my career, I swore to myself that I wouldn't be away from it for long. That is why I am planning to quit." The entire crowd gasped, and began sharing their confusion all at once. Slowly, a tear slid down my cheek as I began to finish.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
Wow. I have finally made it back. Back at the hospital, everyone was happy to see me, thank god. They don't hate me. Why on earth would Abby be here? On second thought, maybe Jerry was pulling my leg…I don't know. I'll just wait here and see if I see…
No One's POV
John was cut short when he saw Abby up on stage. His breath was caught in his throat, and stumbled back in surprise. He waited in the crowd, as he tried to figure out this whole situation. Maybe she will explain if she ever talks to me again…he thought.

"If you think about it, this isn't that bad. I have two very successful albums out that you can buy anytime. I just won't be showing up anywhere fancy for a while, that's all. And I'm sure most of my fans out there know, that most of my songs are inspired by grief, and anguish. I lost someone I loved very much a long time ago. But he is out of my life now, and I have moved on with the rest of my life. Somehow this whole period has been a period of sadness and loneliness for me, and I want to get on with my life."
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
"Well that explains a lot…" I said aloud. I can't believe I hurt her like that.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
"Sing for us!!" I heard someone yell to me from the crowd. I laughed.
"It seems as though someone from the crowd wants me to sing a final song…I think I'll do the one that got me started…" The crowd cheered. I cued someone behind stage to put on the music. "Track 2…" I whispered back to him. He nodded, and within seconds my song was playing.
