-Song Writing-

(Olivia's POV)

The next morning I woke up lying on the floor. I let the entire memories flood back in my head. Yesterday was fun other than me falling over in a break down? That was just too much. Claustrophobia doesn't help in situations like that. I stood up and shut off my alarm. I walked to my closet and pulled out a crop top and shorts. I threw them on and went to the bathroom. I straightened my hair and put my bangs in a braid over to the side. I did my morning routine and then started my makeup. I put on some mascara, eyeliner, and glitter eye shadow. I walked out of the bathroom and over to Amanda's bed. I shook her slightly until she opened her eyes. "Get ready." Was all I said? I walked downstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed a glass and some bread. I poured some orange juice and put my bread in the toaster. I really hated toast but I wasn't in the mood to make anything. I put some butter on my toast and walked to the living room. I didn't see anyone in there so I turned around and walked back to Amanda and I's bedroom. She was in her bathroom. I walked over to my bed and sat down I ate my food and then watched her get ready. I watched her straightening her hair and then she put on the little makeup she puts on. She walked out of the bathroom and looked at me. I smile. "Want something to eat?" I ask her. She nodded. "In a little bit." She said. I nodded. I got up and took my dishes downstairs. I started to wash my glass and plate, when I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw Connor standing there. I smiled and he smiled back. "Do you want something?" I asked trying not to sound rude. He was silent for a minute and then spoke up. "Can you make coffee?" he asked. I laughed and nodded. I grabbed the coffee grinder and started to mix together the grounds. I added some things into it to make it taste better. "Do you want any spices in it?" I ask him. "Pumpkin?" he asks. I nod and go back to making the coffee. I add some pumpkin spice into it and mix everything together. I brew it up. (I sound like a witch) I grab the pitcher of it and pour a cup for him and me. I hand him the cup and he takes a sip. His eyes get big and he looks at me. "How'd you make this?" he asks stunned. "I don't know threw some of this and some of that in. Like every coffee I make." I say. He was still looking at me. "How many other kinds can you make?" he asks. "A lot. Hazelnut, Walnut, Caramel, Honey, and so many more." I say. I watch him as he drinks it never sopping, only for breaths. I laugh and grab the pitcher I pour him more. "I'll make you coffee every morning if you want." I tell him. He nodded vigorously. I set the pitcher down and drank mine. I put my glass in the sink and grabbed a water bottle filled with juice. "I'll be back." I yell to Connor. I walk out the front door and start to walk down the road. I get to the meadow and turn around. I walk back to the house and by the time I get back to the house it's been two hours. I walk back up to the house and straight up to my room. I go to my bathroom and peel from my clothes. I jump in the shower and take a quick one. When I'm done I walk back to my room with a towel and grab some different clothes. I grab a neon pink short skirt and a pink tank top. I throw them on and run downstairs with a towel around my hair. I walk past the living room and I see Trevor filming a video. I laugh and walk down the hallway. I run into someone as I'm looking down. "Oh jeez." I said as I fell to the ground. "Watch where you're going." Kian said while laughing. I laughed. "You should slow down." I tell him. "I'm taller than you. I walk faster." He said. "I'm not gonna win this fight am i?" I asked. He shook his head. I laughed and stood up with his help. As I was walking away a thought popped in my head. "Kian!" I yelled back to him. "Yeah?" "Where's Sam?" I asked. "Music room I think." He said. I didn't know they had a music room. I thanked him and walked down the hall looking in every room. As I kept opening doors I heard a noise. It sounded like singing. I walked down the hall following the sound. I finally stood in front of the door I heard the sound from. I slowly opened the door. There sat Sam with a guitar in his hands and he was strumming a few notes while singing some. I smiled watching him. I didn't know any of them played guitar or sang really other than Trevor. I walked up to him and put my hand on his shoulder. He stopped and quickly tuned around. "Sorry I didn't know you were there. I would've stopped sooner." He said. I laughed. "What do you mean stop sooner? That was great." I said. He smiled. I grabbed a stool nearby and pulled it closer. I sat on it. I grabbed a guitar nearby. I looked at the paper he had with notes on it. I started to play the first few. I looked at the lyrics and read them while playing the notes. "Can you sing for me while I play?" I asked him. He nodded. I started the intro and he started to sing.

(I know it's The Weight By: Shawn Mendes it just fit)
I want to go back,
Forget that it's over
Painted in black,
When you left me alone
I never knew, she was sleeping next door
With the kid I grew up with,
And I can't go back to her anymore, no more

You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
No, I can't lift the weight

I stopped playing the guitar where the notes stopped. I looked at him and smiled. "Do you wanna finish this song together?" he asked me. I nodded. Most of the day was spent in the music room building up our new song.

~4 hours later~

(Amanda's POV)

All day I've heard singing Olivia and Sam are making a song. It's a breakup song. It's gotta be from past relationships. Or a new relationship. I wonder...didn't Sam have a girlfriend? They must've broken up. "Jc does Sam have a girlfriend?" I asked. "They broke up a few weeks ago." He said. "That's it!" I yelled. All the guys looked at me. "Don't you guys see? Sam thought he still loved his old girlfriend. Olivia and I came along and he fell for Olivia. He's trying to write songs to see if he really still likes his old girlfriend. But the more he sings this song the more he's realizing he wants to be with Olivia. He's not waiting for the other girl to come back. He's moving on. He wants to be with Olivia!" I yell. They all look at me. They know it's true the looks on their faces say it all. I motion for them to follow me. I run down the hall quietly to the music room. I listen to Sam and Olivia duet together. They both play the guitar and sing. They're bonding. Olivia's gonna fall so hard once she realizes. Oh this is gonna be fun. I'm gonna get to tease her. I listen to them start the song over.

Sam: I want to go back,
Forget that it's over
Painted in black,
When you left me alone
I never knew, she was sleeping next door
With the kid I grew up with,
And I can't go back to her anymore, no more

Both: You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
No, I can't lift the weight

Olivia: Put you in the past,
Try to forget you 'cause it's over
And every time you ask
I pretend I'm okay
You're inside my head
In the middle of the night
When I don't feel right
I dream I can hold you,
And I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah

Both: You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time, but you push me away
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weightYou tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay And you tell me that you needed time but you, you push me away
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
You told me that you needed time but you, you push me away
And then you try to take me back
Say someday you will change, but I don't wanna wait

When they finished I busted through the door clapping. They both turned around and set down their guitars. They smiled. Olivia looked at Sam and started to laugh. He joined in and so did everyone else. Soon we were all laughing. Olivia looked at Sam and then hugged him. She kissed his cheek thanked him and walked up to our room. I followed behind her after seeing Sam go to bed with a smile across his face. He liked today. He liked spending the day with Olivia writing a song. I think we might have a new couple soon. Match Maker Time.
