Chapter 2

Ren smiled as she listened to Hailey try to quiet the room. "Ok guys, we have an amazing performance from our very own Kira Ford! Let's give her an awesome welcome and get her up here!"

Ren smiled as the girl from earlier walked on stage and stood in front of the audience and began to sing.

"I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.

What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs."

Ren froze. Ren just sat and stared at Kira. It wasn't possible.

"She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside."

She knew this story.

"Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs."

Ren just sat there and felt her jaw drop.

"Good isn't she?" Trent asked as he pulled up a chair.

"I'm speechless." Ren said trying not to give away just how shocked she was as the lyrics of the song. This song told the story of her life.

She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Ren closed her eyes and swayed to the song. She could see Kay and Shelly punch kick and dive through the masses of enemies. Ari lay un-moving on the ground. Danny moved her med kit trying to revive Ari.

Ren had been cut off from the group, fighting the big bad herself. She attacked and dodged with no hope of ever winning let alone ending the fight.

Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
Yeah,oh

A new scene played before her. Ren was serving tables in a fancy resturaunt and a group of five brightly colored people sat laughing and quieted when she came over.

"Why are you guys always in the same colors?" Ren asked.

"We all want to be power rangers." The one in blue replied.

She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

"Me too! I think the red ranger is awesome." Ren gushed.

"The Red ranger sucks, he's never there until the end." Blue spoke again.

"If red were a real ranger, he would be there at the start of the fight, and not wait till the end just to make an entrance." Ren's face fell as the girl in yellow ridiculed the red ranger.

She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah"

Ren felt her body jerk and her eyes snapped open.

"Whoa! It's ok." The well dressed man from earlier said. "We wanted to make sure you were ok. None of us knew you and looked like you were in pain."

"No, just a little flashback. The song reminded me of a friend I had. That's all." Ren stood and closed her laptop. "I've got to go; do you know how to get to Coral Reef Apartments? I just moved here and I got lost."

"Just go straight for two blocks and turn left. You can't miss it." Hailey said.

"Thank you and I'll try to come back some time, but first I have to get a job." Ren said.

"I'm looking for a waitress if you're interested." Hailey offered.

"Actually that sounds good. When can I start or do you need my resume?" Ren asked curiously.

"No, how about you start tomorrow, after school is always a rush?"

"Sure." Ren said as she quickly began walking out to her car.

"Something is not right about her." Kira said after Ren left.

"Can't we just relax and be happy? We defeated Messogog last week, aren't we done?" Conner asked no one in particular.

"Just be aware Conner." Dr. Thomas Oliver said. "You must always be aware."
