[edit] Synopsis
A girl (Sara Beth) falls ill, and notices a "bruise that won't go away". After being taken to a hospital, she is informed that she has a form of cancer and must go under chemotherapy. She is afraid of the effects it may have on her (most notably, Alopecia), and holds onto the dream of dancing with her boyfriend at her high school prom.
When she wakes the morning before the dance, she notices that she is virtually hairless, and cries while being embraced by her mother. Sara thinks it would be a mistake for her boyfriend to take her to the prom in this condition.
Close to the prom, her boyfriend arrives, wearing a baseball cap. When he removes it, all are surprised to see that he shaved his head and is willing to accompany Sara to the dance. Sara realizes her dream came true when she arrived with him, and they danced.
The video was filmed in Orlando, Florida, and features a cast of Florida talent. Child actor, Johnny Maio, appears in the final scene as Sara Beth's little brother.
