Valerie paced from her window sill from her chair. She needed a bit of fresh air and instead, she watched her neighbor and his friends play basketball in their front yard. It been two hours since she opened the last letter.
She was now ready.
She inhaled and exhaled. She sat on the edge of the bed, and held the last envelope, Envelope Twenty-Eight, in between her fingers and put it to her face. She closed her eyes and goes to rip the flap open and pulls out the pink index card. She places the ear buds in her ear, pressed track twenty-six and read what was on the index card.
Track Twenty-Six: And this is the break-up playlist and how, sadly, we broke up
Said goodbye, turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone
Faded into the setting sun, slipped away
But I won't cry
'cause I know I'll never be lonely
For you are the stars to me
You are the light I follow
I will see you again, oh
This is not where it ends

Another Carrie Underwood song, and this song always made Valerie cry every time she'll listen to it. But for some reason, she didn't cry, because she knew she wouldn't be lonely.
This sad song turned out to be bittersweet, and she can finally call Tony, to set up a time for them to talk, to hatch things out.
Valerie smiled, taking out the ear buds from her ear, and setting the iPod Nano to on her nightstand. She grabs her iPhone 5S from her bed, and went to dial Tony.
But, an idea popped up.
Valerie gasped, and pushes her phone to the bed. She thought about the idea for a couple of seconds, and she thinks it's a good one.
She goes to her windowsill again and grabs her 5-subject notebook from her book bag, along with a Bic blue pen. She went back to her bed, and unlocked her phone. She didn't have much songs on her phone, because Taylor Swift doesn't have a Spotify account, so she only pays for Swiftie's song.
She goes to her Spotify app and plays the first song she found: Fifth Harmony's Going Nowhere. Besides being a Lovatic, Valerie was a huge Harmonizer and Going Nowhere was her ultimate favorite song off the 'Reflection' album.
She smiled and wrote on the top of the lined paper, in blue ink:
