Matt's POV:

A week later, i'm in Los Angles recording a song.

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh oh oh oh ohh oh [x5]
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

I hear a piano and a female voice singing the song.

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh ooh
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes.
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again.
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this, ooh, whoa
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, oh, oh, oh.
If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Ashley's POV:

As I leave the booth, Matt stops me and we talk. I tell him that Zack and I broke up. It hurts to think about the way things ended but we go into the studio and I record a song.

[Ashley:]
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you til it hurts
I know you hurt, too, but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know
Doesn't really know
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long, lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too?
Does the feeling seem oh-so right?
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on?
There's no easy way
It gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
 Believing for so long
I'm all out of love All out of love
What am I without you?
I can't be too late
I know I was so wrong
I'm all out of love All out of love
I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I'm all out of love All out of love
What am I without you?
I can't be too late
I know I was so wrong
I'm all out of love 
I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long 
I'm all out of love
What am I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

Ashley's POV:

As Matt and I leave, I get a text message from an unknown number.

I know you had your <3 broken by Zack but I want to right that wrong. I want to see you before Raw.

I look at Matt confused and a little bit worried at the message that was sent. Looks like an admirer who wants to remain secret. Who would want to see me before Raw? Matt and I head to Staples Center to crack this mystery. I look at the card and I see a mixed tag team match I get a text from the unknown number.

Look to your right and you'll see me.

Wade's POV:

Ashley looks to the right and we see each other. I ask the rookie diva who we're facing in the match and we find Vanessa and Randy walking backstage. The friends look at us and smile.
