Jude settled on the stool, fiddling with her fingers. Screaming brought her back from her thoughts, as tears welled in her eyes.
"Okay…this is a new one…it's called Chasing Echoes…It." Her voice faltered, and she swallowed hard, looking out at the audience, which mostly consisted of pre and teenage girls. Girls who knew how she felt. Wait, no they didn't…Because normal humans aren't supposed to feel like they're lost, wondering endlessly, all awhile someone is stomping on their throat, expecting the littlest thing to make them break down…Because that's how she feels.
She looked down at one girl in the front row and smiled. The girl was dressed fully in black, just like Jude, tears full in her eyes.

Like a second thought
Always sliding, I just think a lot
I still wonder
Am I still stuck, I your head
In your head
Like I'm waiting
Like I'm straining to feel
I can't stand
I wanted you still
I still wonder
Am I still stuck in your head
In your head
Are you really gone
Are you moving on
Tell me tell me
Are you really gone
I sing you this song
Will you tell me
Where did we go wrong
I can't let go
I can't let go
Now I'm left here chasing echoes
Standing frozen in the memories
What you're taking is still lingering
Every promise
Every whispering
In my head
In my head
In the shadow of my reverie
A distraction to forget the need
Is there truth to what I perceive
In my head
In my head
Are you really gone
Are you moving on
Tell me tell me
Where did we go wrong
Are you really gone
I sing you this song
Will you tell me
Where did we go wrong
I can't
let go
I can't let go
Now I'm left here chasing echoes
Chasing echoes
Chasing echoes
I can't let go
I can't let go

Always siding

Will you tell me
Where did we go wrong
Are you really gone
Are you moving on
Tell me tell me
Where did we go wrong
Are you really gone

Will you tell me
Where did we go wrong
I can't let go
I can't let go
Now I'm left here chasing echoes
I'm left here chasing echoes…"
Jude opened her eyes as the tears dripped down her cheeks. There was no screaming…no applause. The stadium was filled with sobs. She lowered the mic as she choked on one of her own, causing everyone to cry harder.
"Thank you…" She dropped the mic on the stage and ran off. A dark-haired male caught her, and her hands crashed against his shoulders as she cried into his shoulder.
"Shh…" She clung to his shirt, crying harder at the sound of the audience still sobbing.
"He's not coming back…"
"Hey, look at me…" She looked up at her friend. "You don't need him…You've got me…" He kissed her softly, but she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, turning it into a real kiss.
"Everything's gonna be okay, girl…"
"I believe that…now…" She smiled, settling back down, flat on her feet.
"Jude…"
"Yeah?"
"I love you…"
"I love you too, Mas…"
