Allie's POV:

Allie

Don't blink, no I don't wanna miss it
One thing and it's back to the beginning

Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep going on, never look back

Cause it's one, two, three, four time
That I try for one more night
Light a fire in my eyes

I'm going outta my mind

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Whatever happens
Even when everything's down

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

I gasp as I hear drums to my left. I turn with tear filled eyes and smile as I see Alex grinning back. Then Reggie appears and my heart fills with joy. They can still crossover!

Right now I'm loving every minute
Hands down can't let myself forget it, no

Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep holding on, never look back

Luke flickers in then out again. Come on!

And it's one, two, three, four times

He flicker ms again, but doesn't stick.

That I try for one more night

He flickers once again. Come on! You got this! I put everything into the song.

Light a fire in my eyes

Finally he appears fully on stage.

Luke

I'm going outta my mind

Grinning I stop playing and grab my mic, going over to center stage, facing Luke, cheering him on as he sings. We make eye contact, grinning at each other. A fire in both of our eyes

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Allie and Luke

Whatever happens
Even when everything's down

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Reggie and I jam together and then start talking down the center strip of the stage

Allie

Like I'm glowing in the dark
I keep on going when it's all falling apart

Luke and Allie

Yeah I know it with all my heart

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Luke

Never look back!

We make our way back to the other guys and our normal spots.

Alex

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Reggie

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall!

Allie

Stand tall!

Luke and Alex

Stand tall!

All

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Whatever happens
Even when everything's down

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

I go over to Luke and offer my mic. He grins bigger than I have ever seen and immediate comes over to me. Together on one mic the two of us make our way back down the center strip.

I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling

Reggie joins us.

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

The drums pull out and Alex joins us as well.

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall!

When the music fades I look up at Luke and he nods to me, a reassurance that they're gonna be ok. I look next to Alex then Reggie, they both have grins on their faces. 'I love you guys.' I mouth to them as we raise out hands to bow.

They just smile back and then we take out final bow. When I come back up they're gone. They crossed over. I smile to the ceiling. "I'm going to miss you guys." I whisper to nothing. With a bow I walk off stage and Julie and Flynn tackle me in a hug. "That was amazing Allie!" Flynn exclaims.

I smile down at her sadly. "Hey, are you ok?" Julie asks. I shake my head. "No, but I will be, because just like mom, they'll always be with me." I tell her. She smiles and the three of us hug again.

With that the three friends retreat to the dressing room where I change and take off my makeup. Once ready we head to the front to watch Panic! at the Disco perform. After that we head home, singing at the top of our lungs the entire way. I don't care. I'll take this moment of happiness.

I know the boys would want that for me. We finally reach the front steps and we all stop singing finally. "You and your phantoms were unbelievable tonight! You know, I'd like to thank them for bringing music back into your life." Dad says. 

"Don't worry, I already have." I say, grinning, trying to hide my sadness over the fact that they're gone. Right now it's just a lot, but I know with time it'll get easier. I then smile wider at my father. "But I never thanked you Papi." I tell him. He just grins. 

I hand my flower to Julie and go over and hug him. "Hey Allie, uh, can I talk to you for a second?" Carlos asks as I turn to face him. "Uh, yeah. Just give me a minute, ok? I need to do something." I tell him. "Alright, I'll wait up. Don't ghost me." He says, winking. My eyes widen. 

Julie comes by and hugs me and then I turn to dad. "Just a minute." I tell him, hugging him. I then head down to the garage. I have to say goodbye...one more time. I open the doors wide and walk into the dark structure. Tears fill my eyes, but I hold them back. No more tears. 

I need to be celebrating. We beat Caleb. "Hey guys, I know I already said this, but thank you. For everything." I say into the darkness. I'm about to turn and head back to the house when something stops me. My eyes widen when I hear Reggie's voice call out. "No problem."
