So denied so I lied are you the now or never kind
In a day and a day love I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had are you cool with just tonight
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well

Allison's book bag sat at her feet. The hot sun was beating down on her exposed shoulders. She wore her jeans and pink tank top, the same outfit she had wore the first day she arrived at Camp Green Lake. She saw the familiar yellow bus coming down the dirt road. Allison turned around to see Squid, X-Ray and Stanley behind her. She walked up to Squid and handed him his black bandanna back.

"Keep it," he said smiling at her, he pulled her into a hug and then let her go. "I have a month left, so maybe I'll see ya around," he said.

"Maybe…" she said. She again hugged Squid one more time.

"I will miss," she said and then walked up to Stanley next. He looked down at her; he was always a head taller than her.

"Thank you for helping me dig my holes," she laughed and again was pulled into a hug. She handed him a piece of paper with her cell phone number written on it and kissed him on the cheek. "Keep in touch." A few tears began to form in her eyes.

"Allison, the bus is ready to leave," The Warden said.

"Ok, I'll be right there," she said walking over to X-Ray. They looked at each other and then he pulled her into a hug. She would miss him the most; he became her best friend at Camp Green Lake, and he was like a brother to Allison.

"I will miss you Cat," he whispered to her. A few more tears began to fall from her eyes and he brushed them away. "Be strong Cat, the world can be cruel," he said to her. She leaned on her tip of her toes and gave X-Ray a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't forget about me," Allison said.

"Allison, you must go now," The Warden yelled to her. Allison picked up her book bag and walked to the bus and climbed one of the steps. She turned around to look once more at the three boys who had changed her life.

"Hey Cat," X-Ray yelled. "You story will be told here for a long time…" She looked at him once more and then walked onto the bus sitting by a window looking at the boys. This time no handcuffs, she was going home…

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

X-Ray sat on the cot still talking to the girls. The one with the tattoos had a few tears in her eyes. Allison's story was over.

"Most of the people who where around the time she was here had left and gone home. But not me, we had become best friends. She changed my life and the future of Camp Green Lake. She was the toughest of all of us here, and her story will be told for years to come…"

All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
