* 1 Month Later *

          It's been a month since he's been back at school and for the most part everything seems like a normal high school experience.  The only thing that's not making it a normal one is the constant news stories on the lawsuit for my father and the doctor. As well as the video of his panic attack being spread around like wildfire.
          However he's learned to not really bother with them. He's instead making a song for Zee to sing and upload to his channel. it's almost finished. All that's left is for him to finish editing the music video they shot of him. They've decided to call it ' Always You '. The song is like a response to his song How You Feel.
          " You almost done editing it " Zee asked impatiently. Causing him to laugh. " Yes Hia. I just need to finish this last part " he says as he write the title of the song on YouTube. " Finished " he says excitedly before turning to Zee. " Ready Hia " he asked excitedly.
When Zee nods he takes a photo and post it on to his instagram story before posting it. As soon as he does the view count quickly goes up to over 100,000 views. He the. Looks at the comments and they are all filled with praises. " They love it Hia " he says excitedly. " That's good. I was really worried " Zee said. " Well I wasn't. I knew you would do great with your song Hia " he says. Zee smiles at him before slowly leaning in and kissing him. It's a long but sweet kiss. The same type of kiss that they do very often during the past month.
            " Have I ever told you how much I love you baby " Zee says making him laugh. " Only every day " he says teasing him slightly. " Well I love you baby. I love you a lot " Zee says with a smile before laughing. Which causes him to laugh as well as he says "I love you as well Hia ".

2 weeks later

            It's the day of graduation. Both him and Nat sit with everyone's parents in a stadium as they watch the others graduate. " I can't believe they won't be with us in school anymore " Nat says. He nods his head and says " at least during summer we can see them a lot since we have lots of plans together ". Nat nods his head. " Are we going to be ok next school year " Nat asked nervously. " I think we will. After all we are the jelly gang " he says with a smile as he wraps his arm around Nat,
            " Finally I would like to congratulate all of the seniors on graduating. You have all worked so hard for this. Have fun during the next chapter of your lives " the principal says. Signaling the end of the graduation. So him and Nat stand up before running down the stadium and to the others. " You guys did it! Congratulations " he shouts before jumping on Zee. Who catches him instantly as he laughs. " Thank you guys a lot. Will you all be ok next year though " Tommy says. He smiles and says " Mat asked the same thing. I told him I think that we will. Cause we aren't the jelly gang for nothing " he says with a smile as he gets off of Zee. " I'll miss teasing you guys " Net says as he ruffles his hair. " P'Net " he says pouting.
            " Well we won't be going to far from them. We are going to the university that's only a block away from the school " Max says. " Good. I wouldn't be able to handle you guys splitting up or going far from us " he says truthfully. " Which is why we didn't " James said. He smiles.

3 Days Later

            Him and Zee are both about to be on a talk show so they can preform and talk about their songs as well as how they are doing and feeling since the trial. He's incredibly nervous. " Don't worry. You'll do amazing. We both will do amazing " Zee says before giving him a quick kiss. " They're ready for you NuNew " a crew member says so he walks on to the stage. He stands in front of the microphone. When the lights turn blue and the song comes on he starts to sing. He can see the live audience swaying to his phone. Encouraging him even more to do his best.
            Once he's finished singing everyone applauds him. He then quickly exits the stage while Zee goes on it. This time the stage is lit with a bright white color. Zee starts singing and it brings a smile to his face. He has an incredible voice, he thinks to himself.
            Once he's done singing everyone claps before the talk show host calls him and Zee over to the couches next to the host. So they quickly make their way over to the couch and sit. " Welcome to XXXX talk show. We are glad to have you here "
" We are both glad to be here as well " he says with a smile. Zee sets his hand on his thigh.
" Both of your songs are beautiful and amazing. Can you tell us about them "
" How you feel is a song that's asking someone else how you feel about them. Whenever your with this person you are confused if they like you the same way. You want them to just say that they love you but they don't "
" That's a little sad NuNew, what were you thinking when writing this song. We're you thinking about someone here "
He laughs before saying " I wasn't thinking about him. I just thought about the feelings about wanting to know if someone liked you back and if they do can they say that they love you "
" Zee can you tell us about always you "
" Always You is like a response to How you feel. The song describes them wanting to say I love you to them. That they have never not loved that person. However they feel like they don't have the right to actually say I love you "
" That's sad as well. Did NuNew write this song as well "
" Yes I did. I wanted To have a song where it's a response to how you feel so I made a song for Hia Zee since he can sing as well "
" Do you plan on having a song together "
" I would love to but it depends on if NuNew wants to write one "
" I haven't told Hia this or even anyone else but I have started writing a song for the both of us to sing together "
" I'm excited to see how it'll turn out " says the host before they flip the page of their script.
" Tell me about how you guys have been recovering since the trial "
" We have been spending a lot of time together. Everyone in our group is trying to make NuNew have that normal teenager experience "
" They've done a good job at it. This past month or month and a half have been great "
" NuNew how is your recovery going "
He smiles before saying " It's going good. Although there are bad days where it's really hard there are good days as well. The good days even out number the bad ones. I no longer feel afraid or on edge. I also don't have many panic attacks anymore "
" Can I ask you questions about the video from the hospital that was released "
" Go ahead, thanks for asking "
" How did you feel when it was released "
" I was very upset at first. Such a private moment of mine was released. I had thought videos like that of me releasing were done with. However after time I slowly accepted it and it and now look at it as an example that there are anxiety attacks that can be a little set back. However you can continue recovering even after such a bad anxiety attack like I had "
" Zee, what are your plans now that you are done with high school "
" All the seniors in our group decided to go to the same university which is the one right near the high school so we could be close to each other. As for what my plans are I plan on studying psychology. So that I can better understand certain things that effect NuNew "
" He cares about you a lot "
" He really does. I scored with getting him as a boyfriend " he says laughing
" Well thank you guys for coming on our talk show. It was an honor having you both here "
" thank you for inviting us here "
            They say goodbye to everyone before exiting the set. He smiles at Zee as they leave. His first tv interview was a success. He knows that this is the start to being happy. He can't tell by how he feels right now. Like he's someone that's never experienced what he went through. And he wouldn't feel this way without any of his friends, Zee , his parents and Mrs.Betty.
