Chapter 2

"How?" Finn asked.

"His tank went over a landmine," Mrs. James said.

"No!" I said. "You're lying!"

Mr. James shook his head. Will hugged me. I ran out of his arms and the office. I ran into the auditorium. I sat at the edge of the stage. Finn and Puck came in and sat wit me.

"His letter said he was coming home," I said. "Now he's not."

I started crying. I laid my head on Finn's shoulder while Puck held my hand.

"We are going to get through this," Puck said. Finn and I agreed.

I started singing. Finn and Puck followed.

Addie: Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

A,P,F :And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Eventually, I'll see you in heaven

Darling I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

A,P,F :And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Picture a scene in heavean

Finn :Although the sun will never shine the same again
I'll always look to a brighter day
Puck :Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

A,P,F :And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Addie:Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
