Keep Holding On
A/n: once again, I own nothing but the plot… (sigh) but it's a good plot right? Right? Tell meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee……….. haha, here it goes!
A blonde girl entered dorm 101 along with a girl with long brown hair, they were both caught up in their conversations they didn't see three suitcases by what used to be an empty bed.
"Did you see that guy?!" The brown haired girl said. "He was sooo hot! Did you think he was hot? Coz I totally thought he was hot! But wait, if you think he's hot I got dibs, okay?"
"Okay, Nicole. Sheesh, calm down, will ya?" the blonde haired girl said in a cute western accent.
"Looks like someone remembered to take their regular dosage of sugar this morning, right Zoey?" Dana said from the used to be empty bed. She had been sitting there waiting for the two to arrive.
"Dana!" both girls exclaimed, running over to give Dana a hug.
After a few minutes, Dana's bones started to complain about the newly acquired weight on her shoulders.
"Alright, the two of you? Off of me, NOW!" she said in a sweet yet obviously menacing voice.
The two girls yelped and quickly got off of her.
"What are you doing here?" Nicole started saying before she was interrupted by Zoey.
"Yeah, I thought you were offered another scholarship?"
"Well, I kinda, said no…" Dana said, unsure of how her friends would react. "I felt like I didn't belong there… it was way too weird for me."
"So, you're staying, for good?" Nicole asked excitedly.
"Oh my god Nicole! You can speak using just a sentence?! I'm so proud of you!" Dana couldn't help retorting sarcastically. "Yes, I am staying, for good."
"Yes!" the three girls pulled each other into another, more comfortable, group hug.
The three girls kept talking about their lives, what had been happening. They had lost touch the last two of months. They only stopped talking when Chase Matthews walked into the room, followed by Michael (a/n: what's his family name?).
"Hey guys!" Dana said smiling at them.
"Oh hey, Dana," Chase said distractedly, "Wait a minute! Dana, is that you?"
"Of course it's me! Who else would it be?" she replied, rolling her eyes at him jokingly.
"What's up, girl?" Michael said giving her a high five, "Or should I say bon jour?"
"'What's up' works over 'bon jour' anytime." Dana said shaking her head.
"Uhm, so where's Logan?" Dana said casually.
"Ohmygod!WecompletelyforgottotellyouthatLogan'sbeenreallysickforthepasttwoweekscozhestayedoutintherainforhoursandhours!" Nicole said in a super fast voice.
"Say it again so normal human beings without sugar high can understand, Nicole." Dana said, wondering why everyone seemed to get uncomfortable.
"I said: We completely forgot to tell you that Logan's been really sick for the past two weeks coz he stayed out in the rain for hours and hours!" Nicole said slowly.
"He's what?! Where is he?" Dana said worriedly.
"In our dorm, but he's knocked out most of…" Michael trailed off when he realized Dana had already left.
Dana walked into the boys' dorm room without knocking. What she saw nearly broke her heart.
Logan was wrapped up in at least five blankets with a towel on his forehead. He was asleep but it seemed like a drug-induced sleep coz he looked worried instead of peaceful.
"Logan?" she whispered as she got closer.
"Dana?" he replied, looking at her with heavily-lidded eyes.
"Hey, babe…" she said mustering up a small smile.
"I love you." He said to her loudly.
"Logan, I…" she couldn't thin of anything to say.
"Please don't leave me anymore." He said weakly. "You always left me…"
"What are you talking about, Logan?" she asked confusedly.
"In my dreams, like this one… you always left after I would say that I loved you. I don't think I can stand to watch you leave anymore." He said in a low voice.
"I won't leave, I love you too!" she said hugging him tightly.
"I know this is just a dream, and when I wake up you won't be here anymore but please stay as long as you can?" he pleaded.
"I will, I promise. Just don't forget this dream okay?" she said in return.
"I don't think I will… this has been the best one." He said a small smile playing on his lips.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because you stayed," He replied simply.
As he drifted off to sleep, she started singing to him:
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
"Please, be okay…" she said as tears started sliding down her face. "I need you, Reese. It's not that I can't live without you, because I can, it's just that I don't WANT to."
Keep holdin' 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 can say (nothin' you can say)
Nothing you can do (nothin' you can 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
Logan heard every word she said; too bad it was just a dream. He would give anything just to hear her say those words to him, heck! He would give anything just to see her, Even if she did end up leaving.
But at least, he had this to hang on to. Just a dream but dreams always seemed halfway off of reality anyway.
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 (ah ah)
I'll fight and defend (ah ah) yeah yeah
Keep holdin' 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 can say
Nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
nothing you can 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 destiny
Whatever's meant to be
Will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
La da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Keep holdin' 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 can say
nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
nothing you can 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
Dana quickly snuggled under the blankets covering Logan. She felt his temperature go a few notches lower. She smiled before wrapping her arms around him.
