Micah's point of view:

It was my 17th birthday, and it was a very hot sunny summer day.

We got ice cream to celebrate.

"I think Whitey has a friend!" Freddie whispered to Micah.

"I'm very happy that Whitey has someone to relate to!" Mo squealed in excitement.

"Look over there!" I yelled.

"They're holding hands!" Mo shouted in a mix of happiness and shock.

"Whitey's got a new significant other, and I'm really happy he finally found someone." Freddie expressed as I leaned on him grabbing his hand.

I think Mo's a little bit jealous and heartbroken because he got his heart broken by his first boyfriend.

"There's an assembly today, and I have a new song that I'm going to sing." I mentioned.

At the assembly:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I have a surprise for you! A fresh, hot song by our very own Micah Roberts!" Father Flanagan announced."

"It's my 17th birthday today, which means I'm leaving in a year. I just came up with a song about all of the hardships my friends and I have been through, and I hope at least some of you can relate..."

It's called Love Conquers All (by deep purple)

Feels like the end
When you're closer to losing your dreams


Than losing a friend
Flying blind


I'm shooting into the dark
Who will I find?


Oh girl
And if it takes me a lifetime


I swear I'll tear down every wall
Love conquers all


On my way
Tomorrow I rise with the sun


Soon I'll be gone


Words can't say
How the memories of feelings of love


They linger on


Oh girl
And if it takes me forever


I know it's worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all


Somewhere there's a place in your heartWhere the wounds never heal


Well you're not alone
That's just how I feel


Love conquers all
This one will last a lifetime


And if love conquers all
This one will last forever


Everybody was swaying to my song, and some boys were in tears as to how sad and relatable this is.

I know mine and my friends' times at Boys Town will end soon...
