I woke up and got dressed. I thought i should change it up today, so I put on a black turtleneck and a grey dress with vertical stripes on it and the same black heels as yesterday. It looked cute. I did some volume stuff into my hair and it looked so good. I applied some makeup and then I walked to Chandler's room. He was still laying in bed.
I opened the door and jumped on his bed.
"Good morning!" I said.
"Good morning." Chan said.
"You know that we have to be there in 30 minutes?" I said.
"Is it that late?! I still need to shower.." He said while jumping out of his bed. I stand up and grabbed his arms.
"Relax, you shower I'll pick your clothes and I'll get some breakfast." I said.
"Thank you." Chan said. I kissed him.
"Now go take a shower." I said.
I walked to his suitcase and grabbed black jeans and a blue t-shirt. I also grabbed a grey flannel for if it was cold. I laid his clothes down on his bed, and put some shoes down at the end of the end of his bed. I walked outside, I put on my sunglasses and walked to the sandwich store across the street. I got us some sandwiches and some hot chocolate. I walked back to the hotel and to Chans room I saw he was already dressed.
"Yum." He said.
"I know right." I replied.
We sat down at a table in his hotel room. We were eating.
"I don't want this weekend to end." Chan said.
"Me neither." I replied.
"I'll only see you twice a week😕" He said.
"Until the filming is done, or until my character dies." I said.
"I wanna be with you, you make me happy, you make me a better person." He said. I smiled.
"I know😂" I said. We finished our sandwiches, I walked back to my room to brush my teeth and to do the finishing touches. I walked to Chan's room and picked him up. We walked to the convention center.
When we arrived I had to go to the stage immediately. I was going to switch things up today. I walked onto the stage.
-after playing the first 5 songs-
"So tomorrow is my parents 10th year anniversary. And yesterday I wrote a song about it, and I'd love to play it for ya'll." Everybody screamed.
"So when I say silence, you say silence. When I say way home, you say way home. And when I say lights out, you say lights out." I said.
I played a little part, "You can hear it in the Silence (silence) Silence (silence)." I sang and the public sang with me.
"That was great!" Is aid.
"So this song is called You Are In love." I looked at Chandler he was watching too.

"One look, dark room
Meant just for you
Time moved too fast
You play it back
Buttons on a coat
Lighthearted joke
No proof, not much
But you saw enough
Small talk, he drives
Coffee at midnight
The light reflects
The chain on your neck
He says look up
And your shoulders brush
No proof, one touch
You felt enough

You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you...
You can feel it on the way home (way home), way home (way home), you...
You can see it with the lights out (lights out), lights out (lights out)
You are in love, true love
You are in love

Morning, his place
Burn toast, Sunday
You keep his shirt
He keeps his word
And for once you let go
Of your fears and your ghosts
One step, not much
But it said enough
You kiss on sidewalks
You fight and you talk
One night he wakes
Strange look on his face
Pauses, then says
You're my best friend
And you knew what it was
He is in love

You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you...
You can feel it on the way home (way home), way home (way home), you...
You can see it with the lights out (lights out), lights out (lights out)
You are in love, true love

And so it goes
You two are dancing in a snow globe round and round
And he keeps the picture of you in his office downtown
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words

'Cause you can hear it in the silence
You can feel it on the way home
You can see it with the lights out
You are in love, true love
You're in love

You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you...
You can feel it on the way home (way home), way home (way home), you...
You can see it with the lights out (lights out), lights out (lights out)
You are in love, true love
You're in love

You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you...
You can feel it on the way home (way home), way home (way home), you...
You can see it with the lights out (lights out), lights out (lights out)
You are in love, true love
You're in love"
Everyone applauded.
"You made it sound much more better!" I said.
-after performing-
I walked to my parents.
"So how as it?" I asked.
"Karlie, we couldn't ask for a better daughter." They said.
"I know." I hugged them.
"I gotta go to the panel, but I see you after that." I said.
"Bye." They said.
I walked to the panel and I stood behind Chandler.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Never been more ready." He said.
Chandlers name got called and he walked up on the stage.
After a few minutes my name got called.
"Hello." I said.
"Hello Karlie, sit down." Derek said.(I just made up a name for the dude) I sat down next to Chan.
"So how is everything going on the show?" He asked.
"It goes great, actually I feel like it is going better than ever. I feel like I used to be very shy and my character kinda made me stronger." I said. I grabbed Chan's hand we started blushing.
"So you like your character?" He asked.
"Yes, I really do. Noa is a strong and confident girl. And I actually always really liked that name." I said.
"Why?" He then asked again.
"One, it's because I have always been team Noah, and when he died I had to cry😂. And two, I know some other people whose name is Noa / Noah, and they are strong people. They fight for their dreams. They have a goal and they go try to reach that goal no matter what. That's just something I noticed with the Noa / Noah named people."
People started applauding.
-start audience questions-
"I have a question for Karlie." The girl said.
"Go ahead." I said.
"One I really like hair and two, are you releasing an album or single soon?" She asked.
"One Thank you! And two, a single very soon and an album, I'll try to bring one out in November or December. So yeah, that's like 1-2 months." I said.
-after the panel-
I ran backstage and grabbed my songbook. I started writing on the two songs I was still working on. I both finished them. One is in a 80s movie soundtrack style and the other one is more country. I grabbed my phone, for the melody.
"Track one, I wish you would come back, wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did. I wish you know that I never forget you as long as I live." And I just started sining into my phone people looked at me like I was crazy, writer in progress.
"Track two, Come back, come back, come back to me like you would, you would if this was a movie. Stand in the rain outside until I came out. Come back, come back, come back to me like you could, you could if you just said you're sorry. I know that we could work it out somehow. But if this was a movie you'd be here by now..." I noticed they really have the same concept.
-after WSC Philly-
I walked with Chan back to the hotel. I packed my stuff, and walked to Chan's room.
"I am really going to miss you." He said.
"I'll miss you more." I said.
I pushed Chandler on his bed and I got on top of him. I started kissing him.
We stopped after a minute.
"Your really going to miss me." He said.
"Yes I am." I stood up and grabbed my suitcase.
"Bye." I said and I walked out of the door.
I walked to the car and then we drove back home.
In the car I started writing a song about what Ian and I had. Okay yes, he is a dushbag, but we had something, I don't just date guys I date guys when I feel good with them. And I felt good with Ian, and because I know he is going to buy the album I'd better write a song about how much he's hurt me. When I finished the last word I fell asleep.
