*Ariel's POV*

"Heyo!" Kiara shouts as she and becca are walking back with the camera and instruments. I take my guitar from her and she smiles at me and takes out her violin and Becca prepares her drum box. I set the camera up in the sand and pull a chair over for me to sit on.

"Guys, do you mind pressing the play button on the camera?" Ashton nodded and stood by the camera. Weirdly enough, the boys all shut up and stood behind the camera watching us. I guess it reminds them of when they did this.

"Ok, press it Ash." I say as I situate my fingers on the first guitar chord.

"Hey guys, welcome back to Virtual Distance! Today, Becca, Kiara, and I are covering 5 Seconds of Summer's Broken Home. This song has spoken to me and I am blessed to have this cover made today." I said into the camera and we started to play.

They would yell, they would scream, they were fighting it out

She would hope, she would pray, she was waiting it out

Holding onto a dream

While she watches these walls fall down

Sharp words like knives, they were cutting her down

Shattered glass like the past, it's a memory now

Holding onto a dream

While she watches these walls fall down

Hey mom, hey dad

When did this end?

Where did you lose your happiness?

I'm here alone inside of this broken home

Who's right, who's wrong

Who really cares?

The fault, the blame, the pain's still there

I'm here alone inside of this broken home, this broken home

Wrote it down on the walls, she was screaming it out

Made it clear, she's still here, are you listening now?

Just a ghost in the halls

Feeling empty, they're vacant now

All the battles, all the wars, all the times that you've fought

She's the scar, she's the bruises, she's the pain that you brought

There was life, there was love

Like a light and it's fading out

Hey mom, hey dad

When did this end?

Where did you lose your happiness?

I'm here alone inside of this broken home

Who's right, who's wrong

Who really cares?

The fault, the blame, the pain's still there

I'm here alone inside of this broken home, this broken home

You've gotta let it go, you're losing all your hope

Nothing left to hold, locked out in the cold

You painted memories then washed out all the scenes

I'm stuck in between a nightmare and lost dreams

Hey mom, hey dad

When did this end?

Where did you lose your happiness?

I'm here alone inside of this broken home

Hey mom, hey dad

When did this end?

Where did you lose your happiness?

I'm here alone inside of this broken home

Who's right, who's wrong

Who really cares?

The fault, the blame, the pain's still there

I'm here alone inside of this broken home

This broken home

When the song ended, I was misty eyed again. I wiped my eyes and Becca took over for me.

"We have some special guests with us but it won't be until the next video we will say who it is. We love you all and thanks for the 10,000 subs! Bye guys!"

With that, Ashton pressed the button and ended the video.  I took a deep breath and sighed. That song took a lot out of me, but everything was true.
