Chapter Nine

Like a small boat, On the ocean, Sending big waves, Into motion, Like how a single word, Can make a heart open, I might only have one match, But I can make an explosion

Tampa, Florida

**Ashley's POV**

Patricia, Summer, and I take our seats as the crowd files in. As the seats fill up, I look down at my phone screen. Pressing the power button, the time is displayed on the screen. With twenty minutes left until show time, I contemplate what I'm going to buy to eat. I run my hand over my ever growing belly.

A few thumps and I stand up. I slide past Patricia and make my way up the stairs toward concession. More people file down the stairs past me, as I slowly make my way up them.

**Patricia's POV**

I watch Ashlee walk up the stairs. The closer she gets to the top, the more I start to worry. I watch her pass through the curtains. That's when some movement catches my attention.

I turn toward it to spot a male in dark clothing move toward the curtain. I get up out of my seat. I head over to the stairs.

And all those things I didn't say, Wrecking balls inside my brain, I will scream them loud tonight, Can you hear my voice this time?

**Summer's POV**

A shuffling sound catches my attention. I turn to notice my mom going. I look around for her, before catching a glimpse of her rushing up the stairs. I sigh and get up.

I shift through the row causing people to groan and stand up. I rush up the stairs and push through the curtain.

**Patricia's POV**

I keep my distance as I follow the man through concession. He walks toward Ashlee, causing me to pick up my pace. The closer to her that he gets, the fast I walk merging into a sprint. As he reaches out for her arm, I tackle him to the ground causing Ashlee to turn around.

**Ashlee's POV**

I quickly turn around to see my future mother-in-law straddling someone in dark clothing. She threw a few punches at his face, receiving some groans. Her fist lands on the bridge of his nose, as blood flows out. He screams out in pain, as her fists connects with his eyes.

His eyes roll toward me, as she keeps punching his face.

This is my fight song, Take back my life song, Prove I'm alright song, My power's turned on, Starting right now I'll be strong, I'll play my fight song, And I don't really care if nobody else believes, 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep, Everybody's worried about me, In too deep, Say I'm in too deep (in too deep), And it's been two years I miss my home,But there's a fire burning in my bones, Still believe, Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say, Wrecking balls inside my brain, I will scream them loud tonight, Can you hear my voice this time?

Like a small boat, On the ocean, Sending big waves, Into motion, Like how a single word, Can make a heart open, I might only have one match, But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song, Take back my life song, Prove I'm alright song, My power's turned on, Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong), I'll play my fight song, And I don't really care if nobody else believes, 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me
