Mara Pov
Today is the day my boyfriend Luke is meeting my parents I met his parents last night and he is meeting my parents tonight than later on during the week everyone will get a chance to meet each other I am worried about what my parents will think of him but I shouldn't be worried my parents are amazing and they know I am a good girl,they do know I have already lost my virginity to him they met him over FaceTime but not in person and I am on birth control and its going to stay that way until we get married. Right now we just pulled up to my parents mansion and I see that Tyson and his girlfriend are here they met her last week and her name is London my parents told us we can date until we turn 18 years old because they want us to focus in school which is understandable but that didnt stop us from going to parties and football games and having fun, Luke gets out and opens my car door and gives me a kiss and I grab his hand and we walk inside of course I still have my key to my parents place.

Inside
Mara: Mama we are here.
Tasia: Coming! And Tasia comes into the living.
Mara: Hey mama.

Luke: Nice to meet you. You have a lovely home.
Tasia: Nice to meet you Luke and thank you.

Mara: Baby I will be right back.
Luke: Okay. And Mara goes and climbs upstairs to see her mommy.

Upstairs
Mara climbs the stairs and she looks for her mommy and she notice the green light is on and she slowly opens the door and sees her mother in the studio booth about to start singing and she sits down and listens.

Lion and Tigers and Bears
[Chorus]
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears (Oh my)
But I'm scared of (Loving you)
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair (That's right)
But I'm scared of (Loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Why it don't last, is that too much to ask? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Why do we love, love?
When love seems to hate us, uh, uh? (Ah, ah)

[Verse 1]
Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom
You say you care, and I know you do
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense
Pre-Chorus]
Just 'cause I love you and you love me
It doesn't mean that we're meant to be
I can climb mountains, swim across the seas
But the most frightening thing is you and me, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears (No, I'm not)
But I'm scared of, hey (Loving you)
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair (That's right)
But I'm scared of (Loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Why it don't last, is that too much to ask? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Why do we love, love?
When love seems to hate us, uh, uh? (Ah, ah)
Verse 2]
Most circumstances, I know my fate
But in this love thing, I don't get the game
Why does it feel like, those who give in
They only wind up losing a friend?

[Pre-Chorus]
Just 'cause I love you, and you love me
It doesn't mean that we'll ever be
Fly across the ocean, sing for the queen
But the most frightening thing is you and me, oh
[Chorus]
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears (No, I'm not)
But I'm scared of, hey (Loving you)
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair (That's right)
But I'm scared of (Loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Why it don't last, is that too much to ask? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Why do we love, love?
When love seems to hate us, uh, uh? (Ah, ah)

[Bridge]
I'm not sure, though (No)
I'm not sure (No)
But if we never try, we'll never know
It's better to have loved than not to loved at all
Not trying is worse than to stumble and fall
And if we do, I'd rather it be with you
'Cause at least there will be sweet memories
Oh, I'm not scared, oh

[Chorus]
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears (No, I'm not)
But I'm scared of, oh-ooh (Loving you)
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair (That's right)
But I'm scared of (Loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Why it don't last, is that too much to ask? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Hey, hey)
Why do we love, love?
When love seems to hate us, ooh, ooh? (Ah, ah
