Eight days later,

They got on the plane and made their way back to London. When Dan and Phil got back from dropping the girls off Annabelle told them about Charlie and what happened. They gave her a hug and brought five pizzas for them to share. They then spent the rest of the holiday visiting other places and relaxing by the pool. They were now on the flight home, Annabelle got her headphones out and plugged them into her phone and looked for some music. She went onto muse's album drones and played dead inside. Without realizing she started to sing,

Revere a million prayers
And draw me into your holiness
But there's nothing there
Light only shines from those who share
Unleash a million drones
And confine me then erase me babe
Do you have no soul
It's like it died long ago
Your lips feel warm to the touch
You can bring me back to life
On the outside you're ablaze and alive
But you're dead inside
You're free to touch the sky
Whilst I am crushed and pulverised
Because you need control
Now I'm the one who's letting go
You like to give an inch
Whilst I am giving infinity
But now I've got nothing left
You have no cares and I'm bereft
Your skin feels warm to caress
I see magic in your eyes
On the outside you're ablaze and alive
But you're dead inside!
Feel me now
Hold me please
I need you to see who I am
Open up to me
Stop hiding from me
It's hurting babe
Only you can stop the pain
Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me out to die
I gave you everything
I can't give you anymore
Now I've become just like you
My lips feel warm to the touch
My words seem so alive
My skin is warm to caress
I'll control and hypnotise
You've taught me to lie
Without a trace
And to kill with no remorse
On the outside I'm the greatest guy
Now I'm dead inside!

Once the song was over she noticed that nearly all of the plane including the cabin crew were looking at her. She blushed deeply and slid into her chair.
"You have a great singing voice." The person behind said.
"I do?"
"Yeah." Phil said "You should make a channel of you singing covers of songs."
"What a amazing idea." Dan told her.

Dan fell asleep half an hour later, Phil said he could never sleep. Annabelle listened to more music and thought about what Phil had said. Was she really that good? Annabelle fell asleep two hours in.
