Your P.O.V:

I am standing in front of 2,000 people with four women sitting behind me.

I smile while heart beats like crazy.

"Hi" I simply say and the crowd starts to scream my name. I laugh and smile wider.

"It's been a while" I say and laugh a little into the mic.

"As a lot of you know, I was involved in a car accident last year that left me in a coma for six months." I say and the stadium goes completely silent, all I hear is a faint cough from the back.

"During that time, in the coma, I was fully awake and  conscious in my mind. I could hear everything around me, but all I could see was darkness." I say.

"When I tried to open my eyes all I did was get frustrated and cause panic to everyone in the room when my heart rate would speed up." I say with a small giggle.

"It was a long, boring, scary six months, but the whole time I was screaming my name but my mouth wouldn't move."

"This song I made is what I was going through"

"Before I start singing, I'm going to have maintenance shut all the lights off in here, I want you to just listen and feel what I felt while I was in this darkness" I say.

Suddenly the lights shut off and memories start to flood my mind.

I calm myself down and start to sing.

Hello, hello
Anybody out there?
'Cause I don't hear a sound
Alone, alone
I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough
'Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have
Listen, listen
I would take a whisper if that's all you had to give
But it isn't, is it?
You could come and save me and try to chase the crazy right out of my head
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough
'Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have
I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again
I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again
But 'til then
Just my echo, my shadow
You're my only friend and I'm
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough
'Cause my echo, echo
Oh my shadow, shadow
Hello, hello
Anybody out there?

When I music stops and the lights fade back, on I hear everyone chanting my name.

I suddenly felt arms snake around my waist and I turn to see my Cuban girlfriend crying into my chest.

"Those where the scariest six months of my life" She sobs out and I hold her closely.

"It's okay baby, I'm hear now" I say and kiss her cheek softly while rubbing her back.

"You know, I was about to punch that doctor when he was about to pull the plug" she muffles into my chest and I giggle softly.

"I know, gladly I opened my eyes" I say and she nods.

"Thank the lord" I hear ally say as more arms surround us.

"I was about to join Lolo in giving that doctor a poly beat down"

"No one messes with our best friend and Lauren's love" say Normani and I laugh.

"Hey Y/n?" Lauren says as she looks up at me.

"Yeah?"

"It's time to wake up"

"What-"

Everything went dark and noiseless until I hear a voice beside me.

"Baby, please wake up" Says Lauren and when I go to open my eyes, my heart sinks.

It's just me and my echo again.
