After Sydney and Broots left for Blue Cove to finish up some business, Jarod takes his family to start their new lives. They boarded the next flight out to Jamaica. On their way Jarod placed the earphones on his ears and listened to the music while his wife and daughter rested.
The music began as he stared out the window.
I've been running from the truth
I've been running since my youth
Tired of running
I will stand here till you see
I am you and you are me
tired of running
Jarod turned to his wife. Resting peacefully, he took her hand. She moved to the touch of his skin but doesn't wake up.
There is really is no difference
when you look beneath the skin
someday I know we'll go beyond
this world we;re living in
Jarod closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew deep down inside he was doing what was best for his family but, hoped she felt the same.
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in mt dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing...ummmm
Dancing in my dreams
He difted off to sleep, picturing himself free from the Centre, far, far, away. He saw himself walking hand in hand with his wife on the beach. He can't wait to get there. He knows they all need a new beginning. He continued listening before a deep sleep about his future took over.
There's no hiding in the dark
from the beating of my heart it's getting louder
All that really mattersis the light on your face
In you I see the longing of the whole human race
He squeezed her hand harder not realizing what he had done. She turned to face him, seeing his eyes closed, she placed her lips on his and kissed him. He woke up and looked into her eyes, took the headphones off and said, "Listen to this song."
He handed them to her and put them on. listening to the end of the song and the beginning of the next one.
Tears will leave no stains
We've living in world, stars and dust
Time will earse the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains
Between heaven 'n all that surrounds us
We're travellers here, spirits passing through
And love we give, is all that will endure
Hey now, what we had is gone
But I still remember you
Just like the rose after the rain
Something beautiful remains
She listened to the song and thought about how she was leaving wverything behind. A tear began to form in the corner in her eye.
Tears will leave no stain
Now the darkness falls sun's going down
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains
one by one, the stars are coming out
tide comes in, washes footprints from the sand
one day ends, a new day must begin
A tear fell down her cheek and Jarod wiped it from her face. She took the headphones off, "Promise me we will always be together."
"I promise." he answered softly.
"Jarod, do you think we are doing the right thing?"
"Yes."
She held his hand tighter and closed her eyes. She thought about her past, her father, her daughter, her husband, and of course, dreams of her future.
The plane landed and they they stepped off to a new beginning.
The End!
