It almost felt abnormal to be laying in my own bed, again.
Nothing felt the same since Johnny and I had met in that alleyway. 

I had been up all night thinking about what had gone down outside Eddie's poolhouse; I had been a little groggy the next morning as I got up, shutting off my alarm clock before it went off. I looked at the time: 

8am.

I sighed, rubbing my face before heading to the bathroom to freshen up for the day; I had been getting ready to head downstairs when I heard a vibration coming from my room, and noticed that I had forgotten my phone. I went to grab it before heading down.

Then, I was interrupted again. Someone had called me. 

"Hello?" I answered, in the most non-tired-sounding voice I could muster up. 

"Uh...it's me." 

I could already feel my heart sink. 

"How are things at home?" 

"I could ask the same of you."

"I'm...not at home right now." 

"Where are you?" 

"I'm...somewhere you might recognize; remember our first dance?" 

....
I did what I could to rush to the park. 

---

Just as he said, Johnny had been standing in front of the park gates. 
Admittedly, my stomach twisted in a flash of what had happened merely days ago; he'd given up completely...on everything. 

Yet all of a sudden, he was doing this? 

It just...didn't feel right.

"...What's this about?" I softly inquired of him; he said nothing, only taking me by the h/p/h and leading me to the grassy center of a playground-less playground. 

Take my hand, 
I'll take the lead,
and every turn will be safe with me. 

I was hesitant as he pulled me close.

Don't be afraid,
afraid to fall. 
You know I'll catch you through it all. 

And you can't keep us apart.
(even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart), 
'cause my heart ('Cause my heart is) 
wherever you are. 

It's like catching lightning,
the chances of finding 
someone like you. 
It's one in a million,
the chances of feeling 
the way we do. 

And with every step together,
we just 
keep on getting better. 

So can I have this dance? 
(Can I have this dance?) 

As we waltzed in that park, I couldn't help but perk up. 

The theater crumbled to the ground, the show was possibly over with for good, and yet...here we were, two idiots dancing in broad daylight like nothing was ever wrong, and that thought of having so much hope and light in such a dark time...it made me feel like a burden was lifted off my shoulders. 

I hated how only he could do this to me. 

No mountains too high 
and no ocean's too wide, 
'cause together or not, 
our dance won't stop! 

Let it rain, let it pour! 
What we have is worth fighting for! 
You know I believe 
that we were meant to be! 

It's like catching lightning, 
the chances of finding someone like you! 
(Like you!)
