If you had one night to live
(What would you give for the one you loved?
 How far would you go for them?
 If you had one night to live
 Who would you spend it with?)
 
 
 She loved him
 
 He loved her
 
 It was the basic twisted fairy tale
 Anyone could ask for
 
 They avoided their feelings
 They even went as far as
 Avoiding each other in school
 Yet everyone knew both
 Hid some kind of secret
 That would change everything
 
 In legal sense
 They could be together
 Nothing by law holding them back
 It was true love
 There was no law in stopping that
 But in 'click' wise
 It was hell
 Mainly forbidden
 
 It was not so
 That a baseball player
 Could fall in love with
 A girl part of the science club
 It was unbelievable
 It basically wasn't practical
 
 But what if
 Being practical wasn't everything?
 Or even
 Just letting go gave you what you desired?
 Or simply
 Following your heart
 Instead of what people chose for you'. was right?
 How far would you go?
 
 It was the night of the ball.
 Everyone in the school was going
 Including violet and James.
 Dates were not a requirement
 But most had
 
 Nate of course was going with Amy
 (The star lacrosse player and the star soccer player)
 Lauren was going with Adam
 (The star of the drama program and the other star of it too)
 And Veronica was defiantly going with Chad
 (The captain of the football team and the cheerleader captain)
 
 As everyone saw
 No one went to the ball
 With people outside there click
 Just as expected
 
 No one knew who was going to the ball with James
 (The captain of the baseball team)
 It always was a surprise every year
 Everyone thought that he would probably be going with Julia
 (The captain of the volley ball team)
 As suspected
 Everyone was right
 He went with Julia
 
 But what happened to him going with Violet?
 They were the ones meant to be together at the ball
 Not James with Julia
 Or violet with Dan
 In love matters
 It was supposed to be James and violet
 But no
 They hid their love for each other
 They protected everything
 They didn't make their love obvious
 That's why this happened
 
 The tension at the ball between them grew
 They both weren't happy
 They wanted to be together
 But they knew they couldn't be
 
 They continued to dance with their dates
 Unhappy
 Until something they never thought would happen
 Something unbelievable
 Something horrifying
 
 Violet and her date Dan were ready to leave
 He was gonna drive her home
 Violet left without saying goodbye to her true love James
 She shed a single tear
 And quickly wiped it away
 
 
 They got into the
 And were ready to to go
 He shifted into drive and pulled away
 Not expecting what was to happen next
 As he made a u-turn
 A speeding car hit them on the side
 Sending the car into a 5 flips
 Not to mention right in front of the place where the ball was being held
 
 Everyone rushed outside to see what happen
 James pushed strait to the front
 No one knew who was in the car'..
 Except for James
 He knew that car any where
 It was Dan's
 
 He rushed into the middle of street
 Uncertain if violet was in the car
 He discovered she was
 Her life less body lied on they floor
 So delicate and peaceful
 With her beautiful brown hair still shining.
 
 He was in total shock
 He started to tear
 He never imagined that this would happen
 At least to her
 She was the love of his life
 And he let her slip away do to some stupid thing
 About staying within your click
 
 He held her lifeless body in her arms
 And kept saying no'why'I loved you
 Everyone's face was just so stoic
 They never knew that James loved violet so much
 They just hung there head in mourning
 For the sake of James
 
 All James could remember was that one night
 Under the stars
 Him and her sat there telling there true feelings
 For each other
 It was amazing
 Breathe taking.
 It was the first and last time they kissed
 But the one part he thought about
 The most was when
 Violet had to go
 
 He kissed her on the lips
 And said 'I love you
 And I always will
 You're the girl of my dreams
 And I finally have found you
 Ill never let you.'
 And in return she got up
 And whispered to him
 'I love you too.'
 He snapped back into reality suddenly.
 He watched them
 Meaning the ambulance
 Take her away.
 
 Dan survived
 And went to jail for drunk driving
 And the murder of Violet Woodsmen.
 He was sentenced 3 years in jail.
 Life for James
 Was never the same
 
 Everyday he'd open his locker
 And stare at the picture of violet at the ball
 And think of
 How beautiful she looked
 How he never said goodbye.
 How he was an idiot for keeping their love a secret
 And how he loved her
 Truly loved her.
 
 If he could redo that night
 He would.
 He would have spent every second with her
 If he had known the out come
 Keeping their love a secret
 Was defiantly not worth her life.
 It never was.
 But that's how it ended
 and it will never change
