Chapter 2 (Reem's POV)
I finished taking a shower and quickly dried off with a fluffy white towel. I slowly slipped on my clothes, frowning when I saw that my pants were sliding off my hips. I sighed and walked back into the room. I quietly searched for a belt, quickly pulling it through the belt loops on my blue jeans. I grabbed a brush, pulling it through my hair before tying my hair in a high pony tail, brushing my bangs to the side so that they slightly covered my left eye.
I stood up and walked around the room before slipping on my shoes and walking out of the room. I quietly explored the empty white hallways. It felt as if I was walking with ghosts, my pulse racing as I struggled to keep the nauseating fear away. I took a deep breath and continued wandering around in the creepy hallways. I soon came upon an open door and peeked in silently. The scene I saw was heart wrenching.
I saw a young couple, who looked like they were still in their twenties, with tears streaming down their face. They were standing next to a bed in which laid a boy, looking as if he was no older than five. His eyes were slightly closed, his face pale and thin-looking. His heart rate monitor beeped faster, trying to keep up with his frantic pulse. I watched as his forehead broke in a sweat, a small whimper sounding from his thin lips. "Mommy!" he whisper-screamed as his eyes widened, "Pwease don't weave me daddy!" He reached forward with both hands, trying to grab onto his parents, but instead, his hand fell limp on the bed, his eyes shut close and a loud, long beep sounded.
I staggered backwards until my back hit the wall and I slowly slid down. I knew that I probably will never forget this, but part of me was desperatly tried to scratch away the last few minutes from my brain. I sighed and stood up, wandering around until I heard singing. I slowly walked to the end of the hallway and pressed my ear against the door, trying to hear more.
When it
falls apart
And your feeling lost
All your hope is gone
don't
forget to hold on, hold on
Cause an empty room can be so
loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on
When you love someone
And they break your
heart
don't give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold
on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Cause an empty room can be so
loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on
When you love someone
And they break your
heart
don't give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold
on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I waited patiently as they got ready to play their next song.
Got the
news today,
but they said I had to stay
a little bit longer
and I'll be fine.
When I thought it'd all been done,
when I
thought it'd all been said,
a little bit longer and I'll be fine.
But you don't know what you got till it's gone
and you don't
know what it's like to feel so low
and every time you smile or
laugh you glow.
You don't even know, know, know.
You don't
even know.
All this time goes by
still no reason why
a
little bit longer and I'll be fine.
Waiting on a cure
but
none of them are sure.
A little bit longer and I'll be fine.
But
you don't know what you got till it's gone
and you don't know
what it's like to feel so low.
And every time you smile or laugh
you glow.
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even
know, know, know
You don't even know, know, know
(2, 3!)
And you don't what you got till it's gone,
and you don't
know what it's like to feel so low, yeah!
And every time you
smile you laugh you glow,
you don't even know! No!
So
I'll wait till kingdom come,
all the highs and lows are gone.
A
little bit longer and I'll be fine.
I'll be...fine.
The song brought tears to my eyes, but I kept on listening silently.
Looking
at a picture of you in my hands
Wondering if I'm ever gonna see
you again
Without you I don't know how my life will be
But
I believe
It's not goodbye
Cause I will remember you
And
I will see you again
When I rise
Cause I know and I believe
I will see you in eternity
So close yet so far
But in
my heart you're here with me
You did not leave
You just went
to live in eternity
Without you I don't know how my life will
be
But I believe
It's not goodbye
Cause I will remember
you
And I will see you again
When I rise
Cause I know and
I believe
I will see you in eternity
We will live in the
light of the sun again
Dancing in the river of life and
Knowing
that'll never end
Forever by your side
We'll never have to
say goodbye
Cause I will remember you
And I will see you
again
When I rise
Cause I know and I believe
I will see
you in eternity
It's not goodbye
Cause I will remember
you
And I will see you again
When I rise
Cause I know and
I believe
I will see you in eternity
I sighed, getting frustrated. I had to know who was singing. I knew that it was a couple of guys but I just had to know. Their voices sounded somewhat familiar but I just couldn't grasp it. I stood up before gently pushing the door open; blushing slightly when I saw that one of the guys had turned his attention to me. I slowly closed the door behind me and nonchalantly slipped into the small audience.
I looked around for a while, staring at the simple posters that girls were waving around me. I then realized that they were called The Jonas Brothers. I turned my attention back to the tiny stage set up in the front of the room. That's when I noticed the curly-haired boy staring at me. We both blushed and looked away, a small smile tugging at my lips. I had to admit, he was really sort of cute.
Told you
I made dinner plans
For you and me and no one else
That don't
include your crazy friends
Well I'm done
With awkward
situations empty conversations
Ooh! This is an S.O.S.
Don't
want a second guess,
This is the bottom line
It's true!
I
gave my all for you,
now my heart's in two
And I can't find the
other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass,
better
believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get
So this is where
the story ends
A conversation on IM
Well I'm done
with
Texting,
Sorry for the miscommunication
Ooh! This is an
S.O.S.
Don't want a second guess,
This is the bottom
line
It's true!
I gave my all for you,
now my heart's in
two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on
broken glass,
better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never
get
Next time I see you
I'm giving you a high five
cause
hugs are over rated, just FYI
Ooh! This is an S.O.S.
Don't
want a second guess,
This is the bottom line
It's true.
I
gave my all for you,
now my heart's in two
(yeah)
Ooh
This is an S.O.S.
Don't want a second guess,
This is the bottom
line
It's true!
I gave my all for you,
now my heart's in
two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on
