Radiance
Chapter 12: Next To You
First POV (Skyler)
I stood on the roof and looked at the city of Detroit as it continued to rain. I started quietly singing to myself.
Nature, nurture heaven and home
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
But I've never crossed the river
Braved the forests, braved the stone
Braved the icy winds and fire
Braved and beat them on my own
Yet I'm helpless by the river
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, and the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?
I thought about Tyler and all that's happened…between us.
Angel, angel, what have I done?

Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river
He's out there, feeling cold and alone.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
I want to help him, so badly. But he rejects my help, saying that I'm helpless along with the others.

It's true. We're all helpless without him.
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
Tears slowly streamed down my face as I recited the final lyric.
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
I fell to my knees and buried my face in my hands. I miss Tyler so much that it hurts. We need to help him. I ran downstairs, wiping the tears away.
"We have to help Tyler."
"Skyler, we're not going. That's final." Ken answered.
"We need him. We're helpless without him." I explained.
"We can take of ourselves." Mickia stated.
"We've survived this long." Drew added.
"We don't need him." Lauren said as I looked at her. I walked up to her and got into her face.
"If it weren't for Ty, we wouldn't have been cured."
Lauren backed up in agreement as I smirked.
"That's what I thought."
