"...wake me up...when September ends," the voice continued to sing. Her angelic voice echoed in the dead air. I know that voice.
Aliyah...

A single spotlight shone upon her as if on cue. She looked like she got mauled by a bear but I was glad to see that she's alive.

I stopped playing. "Aliyah?"

"It's me, Billie!" She shouted back.

Without thinking, I jumped downstage and ran to her. Out of respect, the crowd made way for me.

I could see the people making way for Aliyah too as she ran.

As soon as I faced the girl I thought I've lost, I wrapped my arms around her as tight as I could for a glorious 10 second hug.

"You came back," I said happily.

"I'd do...anything...ANYTHING...just to get to you."

Tears of sorrow were quickly replaced by tears of joy.

Mike was right...it will be okay.
