His fingers pass threw the guitar strings like angels passing threw the gates.

There were noises coming from the bushes.

"Jackson?" He asked. He appeared threw the busuhes.

"Hey, how's it goin?" He asked.

"Still doesn't feel right.." He said getting up.

"Stop worrying about it." He said sitting down. He was across from a terrified teen.
"Are you alright?" He asked. "You seem jumpy."
"Jackson...I..I'm beginning to have doubts." He said placing the guitar down.

"Doubts?" He asked.

"Yeah..about Melissa."
"What do you mean?" He asked moving up closer.

"Well um..." He started, finding himself looking straight at Jackson.

"What would you say if I..had doubts...about Melissa...living?" He asked. Jacksons eye browes went straight up.

"Well um..I think you need to give it another thought. I think the reason why she's been like this is because you believed in her." He said. "Everyone has."
Eric didn't have no emotion, just staring at Jackson was even to hard for him.

"Once she hears you play, if it does happen, she'll be happy you were the last thing she ever saw." he said grinning.

"Thanks.." He said smiling. They both stood up, Still directly at each other.
"Hey Jackson.." He said.

"Hmm?" He asked turning around.

Eric rapped his arms around the taller mans neck.
"Do you think she'll be alright?" He whispered. Jackson pulled away from him.
"Yeah...I do." He answered. And gave Eric a pat on the shoulder, and walked out of the bushes.

If this happens...I'll be ready for her He thought grabbing his guitar. And walked out to the shelter. He caught up with Jackson.
"I'm ready." He said smiling. Jackson smiled back at him.

"Okay. Let's go see Melissa." He said leading the way. Eric fallowed him, feeling little confidence.

I believe...

"Hey guys." Jackson greeted.

"Hey they all said. Jackson looked down seeing Melissa half awake.

"How're you feeling?" He asked facing her.

Melissa couldn't answer. She didn't have the strength. All she could do was see.

"Someones here to see you." He siad. Eric walked in. With the guitar by his side. Melissa was rather confused. So were the others.

Jacksons guitar? Taylor thought How did..

"Hey..Melissa." He said smiling. Melissa looked at him, just looking at her big beautiful eyes touched his heart. Feeling the aching on what could happen the next day.

"Melissa..." He said. He sat next to her. And ran his fingers threw the string. Melissa turned her head to Eric. He cleared his thoat and started singing with a low voice. Was not the best voice. But he did what he could.

"In this world you tried"

"Not leaving me alone behind"

"There's no other way"
"I'll pray to God let her stay"

"The memories ease the pain inside"

"Now I know why"

"All of my memories
"Keep you near"

"In silent moments"
"Imagine you'd be here"

"All of my memories keep you near"

"The silent whispers, silent tears"

"Made me promise I'd try"

"To find my way back in this life"
"I hope there is away"

"To give me a sign your okay"
"Reminds me again

It's worth it all"
"So I can go home"

"Together in all these memories"
"I see your smile"
"All the memories I hold dear"

"Darling you know I love you till the end of time"

"All of my memories keep you near"
"In silent moments"
"Imagine you'd be here"
"All of my memories keep you near"
"In silent whispers, silent tears"

"All of my memories..."

And with that part to the ending, he played one last note. Ran his fingers threw one last time. And slowly came to a stop.

Everyone stared at each other in amazment.
"Eric..that was..." Daley started.

"Beautiful." Taylor finished.

Melissa couldn't help but smile.

"Yes..it was." She said. Eric smiled looking down at her.

Jackson smiled at Nathan and Lex.
