Please Be Strong For Me

(~*~)
Hello,
   This was a dream I had when I was on my last day of recovery (from surgery); in the hospital in London a few years ago. I caught myself saying/singing this as I was waking up, and thankfully actually remembered the dream. I wrote it out right then and there, so as not to lose it. However some "holes" were present from the details, so I have written it out in story form. It could be a movie/ video/ song...
(~*~)
The words I was saying/singing as I awoke:
'Help me up baby, please be strong for me'
+
The dream:
Hold me up baby, please be strong for me
+
Scene starts:
   Two girls (Let's call them Sam & Alex) are in a group of friends, they are the best of friends. They go to school in a "street kid" kind of neighborhood; with bickering, fighting, and attitudes gone awry scenes throughout. The old abandoned buildings with the local cafe, is where they all like to gather and hang out. But this part of the neighborhood, they should never have hung out in. For they were seen by an influential individual - a well known "big shot" movie producer. (Let's call him Steve).
   This movie producer (Steve) started to come by often to watch them. And noticed how they like to do skate-boarding tricks both on the ground, and off the roof tops of those old abandoned shops and cafe. He thought some tricks were pretty crazy, so he had no problems with asking them to do more.
   Then one day, Steve told them that if they could do those tricks on film without being nervous, then they could make some good money from the movie/ videos. And that he would be back with a film crew in a few weeks.
   For two weeks the kids were all excited, and practiced what they might do. They were all for it! Sam & Alex saw all the crazy tricks, and how "hyped-out" everyone was. And decided it wasn't for them, they would just watch.
   The day of test filming came, and so did Steve - with his crew. He had those kids doing all kinds of crazy jumps, tricks, and flips off of those roof tops!! At first everything was fine, but then he brought out a swing, and some other equipment. The tricks got riskier, and some minor injuries started occurring. Sam & Alex got worried, and tried to warn their friends when the commotion of the day was over. But their friends just laughed, and carried on with their plans.
   As film day finally came, so did the heaviest rainy day this neighborhood ever saw. It made everything not just wet & slippery, but some things were down right slimy! As Sam and Alex sat on the nearby steps watching, they couldn't stop thinking of the possible fatal accidents that could happen. It was like an unstoppable dream being imposed upon them. They knew their friends wouldn't listen even now as some fatalities began to happen. Rendering the feelings of a broken heart and helplessness. And Sam said "Sprained wrists, ankles, and tail bones are the least of their worries now."
   Next was a fractured arm, a couple of broken legs, and a back/ tailbone problem; which sent them all to the hospital. But it was the sudden death of a girl, that startled them all! It was like a slow motion scene in the movies. Sam & Alex watched as a girl dressed in a yellow & black leopard-print leotard, miss the trick she was attempting. She landed head-first, into the concrete below.
   At first nobody really knew if she was okay or not.  Then one of them approached her body, and checked for consciousness and a pulse. Alex was so shocked that while trying to stand, she slipped on a slimy step and almost knocked the wind out of herself. As she tried to stand up again, she cried to Sam over the loss of their friend. And she said "Help me up baby, please be strong for me."

I remember the day it all started,
a sunny day filled with promise.
He told you he had all the answers,
for the questions you hide.

Didn't we try to warn you,
holding back our tears.
Help me up baby,
please be strong for me.

Then the dreaded day came,
it was raining so hard.
Your chances in his hands.

Many started to faulter,
with shaking limbs.

You did it anyway!
You did it anyway!

Didn't we try to warn you,
holding back our tears.
Help me up baby,
please be strong for me.

Now that you are gone,
never to return to us.
We cry openly,
and we say...

Didn't we try to warn you,
holding back our tears.
Help me up baby,
please be strong for me.

Help me up baby,
please be strong for me.
