Hand In Hand

Green Ending

She opened her eyes and wiped away the tears. Without asking is Bon-bon knew the next song, Lyra began to play and within a moment of doing so her right hand’s keystrokes were joined. They played the song. And the next. And the next...

They played all of her songs. Even those she’d never performed on stage and one she’d written herself. They played song after song until she Lyra finally got tired. Hours had passed by now and Lyra looked down at her arm and stretched her hand. She wiggled her fingers before stretching them to full extension then wiggling them once more before putting her hands together and cracking her knuckles.

That’s when she realised… she turned to Bon-bon beside her in shock only to not find her. She’d always felt her arm before but she’d never actually seen it. Was she going mad? “Bon-bon?!” she shouted both wanting to get her attention and wondering where she’d gone. When she turned to her right she saw her brother and parents both standing off to the side. Smiling. “Where’d Bon-bon go. Did you see her?” she asked them.

“Isn’t she right beside you?” her mother asked. Lyra looked back to her left but no one was there.

“Um… no? She was just here though where’d she… go…” Lyra trailed off as she looked down at her arm. They’d just played the piano together after so much internal fighting with herself over whether she could or not. Her arm had returned and the person who had helped her regain her lost dream had disappeared. There was one thing in particular that she remembered Bon-bon had told her...

You can. The only thing holding you back is you. Nothing else.

The End?
