Raven walked up to the stage and told the band that she wouldn't need any music tonight. She was doing this all a capella. The other students looked at her like she was crazy, but she had this. Raven cleared her throat and took a deep breath. Well, here goes nothing. No turning back now, Raven said to herself.
"This song's for Remy Peters."
You could hear a fucking pin drop. The entire Lounge had gone quiet at her announcement. Whatever. Fuck them.
"It's called I Just Want to Run Away, written by me."
Raven cleared her throat again and listened to the music in her head.
Look into the mirror, don’t like what I see
Why is it that people seem to always count on me
One foot out the doorway, I just want to run away
From the hurt
From the lies
From the tears I’ve cried inside
From all the pain
If it’s all the same
I’ll never love again
I just want to run away
I don’t want to fight today
This pain inside
I just want to hide away
I just want to run away
I want all this hurt to wash away
My tears
Time to face my deepest fears
Look into my heart, do you see the scars
Nothing you can do or say would make them go away
Picking up the pieces, wanting to start brand new
From the hurt
From the lies
From the screaming of my soul
Loud and clear
I just want you near
How do I make you hear?
I just want to run away
I don’t want to fight today
This pain inside
I just want to hide away
I just want to run away
I want all this hurt to wash away
My tears
Time to face my deepest fears
But when it’s all said and done
The damage has been done
All the loneliness has stolen my breath away
How to make you stay?
Still you walk away
From me
Never to return
The damage has been done
I just want to run away
I don’t want to fight today
This pain inside
I just want to hide away
I just want to run away
I want all this hurt to wash away
My tears
Time to face my deepest fears
I just want to run away
I don’t want to fight today
This pain inside
I just want to hide away
I just want to run away
I want all this hurt to wash away
My tears
Time to face my deepest fears
Raven was met with complete silence for five heartbeats before the room shook with applause.
