Abby and I have our music presentation today and I'm nervous. Abby's convinced me to sing a song that I've written. I'm also sining.

"Mia and Luke" the teacher smiles at them. We where supposed to be boy girl partnered but There are two more girls then there are boys, hence why Abby and I are together.

Mia stands by the piano whilst Luke strokes the keys. I feel sorry for him, he plays beautifully and with so much emotion until he stops and Mia opens her mouth and he tenses up squeezing his eyes shut.

"Come on skinny love!" She a howls.

She's awful! Oh my god this is amazing! Abby and I sit gigging as I film her sining. That will show Brad how perfect she is. I send the video to him feeling rather sly and I get a quick response.

(B: Bradley L: Lauren)
'B: I know... Leave her alone. She's happy.
L: Are you happy?
B: Lauren I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I've deleted the video.
L: Thats cute. Bye Bradley'

Ugh I hate being mad with him but I have to. He shouldn't of posted that video. He has no right.

"Lauren and Abby" the teacher calls. My heart starts to pound against my chest. Abby touches my hand and I slowly stand up with shaking legs. They've all heard me sing, thanks to Bradley.

I sit with my guitar and Abby sits at the microphone.

"What are you sining?" Miss asks us as she begins to record.

"A song I wrote in Tribute to my best friend I lost some time ago" I shake into the microphone. I look over to Abby who has the lyrics in front of her. Abby's rapping, because that's what she does and I sing the course because thus harder to sing.

"It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again" I sing with my eyes closed.

"Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
About another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride" Abby raps as I back her up. The other students in the class clap and sway until we finish and Miss congrats us.

I sigh, loudly, as Abby and I sit back down and Mia gives us a dirty look. Awh isn't she sweet.
