At the resort, Troy was struggling to cope with Grace's departure and his friendships were coming to an end. He realized that he had screwed up his relationship with Grace and he wanted to fix it. Later that day, Troy was approached by Will who had stayed behind to continue their stay along with Harry. Will cleared his throat, startling Troy, and said to him, "Is now a free time for me to speak with you?" Troy nodded and replied, "Of course, Your Highness." Will led Troy over to an sitting area where it was empty and secluded. Will took a seat at the table and motioned Troy to join him. Will said to Troy, "I want you to know that I am not here to go off, I believe that is what you Americans call it, on you for breaking Grace's heart. I'm only here to give you some advice and some explanations. *Troy nodded and continued to listen to Will* When we were young, Grace was always kept out of the spotlight by her parents. Aunt Katherine was very protective and weary of my younger cousins and my older cousins. It was hard for Grace to keep friendships and to find love. When my uncle got into an shooting incident from protecting my grandmother, he and my aunt decided to move to Albuquerque where they believe they would be safe from the press and the spotlight. When Grace met you, she talked about you nonstop. I can see why she was in love with you." Troy sighed and replied, "I never knew why Grace's parents moved their family here. Grace never explained to me why." Will said, "It was a traumatic event for them, Troy. They couldn't bear to bring it up." Troy replied, sighing, "I really screwed it up with Grace, haven't I?" Will said, "Well, as my aunt always say, it's not too late to change." Will stood up and clapped Troy on his shoulder. Troy watched as Will left, taking in what he had said. He decided there and then that he was going to change.

Everybody's always talkin' at me
Everybody's tryin' to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talkin'
I need to count on myself instead
(Did you ever) Lose yourself to get what you want?
(Did you ever) Get on a ride, then wanna get off?
(Did you ever) Push away the ones you shoulda held close?
Did you ever let go? Did you ever not know?
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
Will I find what I lost? You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it
How will I know if there's a path worth takin'?
Should I question every move I make?
With all I've lost, my heart is breakin'
I don't wanna make the same mistakes
(Did you ever) Doubt your dream will ever come true?
(Did you ever) Blame the world, but never blame you?
(I will never) Try to live a lie again
I don't wanna win this game if I can't play it my way
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am (Who I am)
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan (That's my plan)
Will I find what I lost? You know you can (You know you can)
Bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it
Oh, hold up
Gimme room to think
Bring it on down
Gotta work on my swing
Gotta do my own thing
Oh, hold up
It's no good at all to see yourself
And not recognize your face
Out on my own, it's such a scary place, ooh
The answers are all inside of me
All I gotta do is believe
I'm not gonna stop
Not gonna stop 'til I get my shot
That's who I am, that is my plan
We'll end up on top, you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on—
You can bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it (You can bet on me)
