Keep Holding On-Eddie's POV-To Patricia
What happened? Why did she deserve this? I keep texting her, it's hard to stay in touch over the summer! Her family has turned on her, and her summer is going to be long and rough. Her "Friends" started bullying her, and I'm here on the other side of the country. I can't do anything! The best I can do is just tell her to keep holding on. What does that do? Slowly, a song creeps into my head.
You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Keep holding on
Keep holding on
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
By the time this finishes playing through my head, I've actually listened to the whole song, and I'm almost crying. Yes, I'm crying. (Almost.) I feel so bad for her! I wish I could just walk up next to her, give her a big hug, kiss her on the head, and tell her to keep holding on.
A.N. Not a normal snapshot, and it won't apply to the rest of the stories, but this was written for one of my really good friends who's going through some hard stuff. Keep holding on, to her and to all!
