I woke up and decided I would change my clothing as if been wearing the same clothes for a few days now. I got dressed in ⬆️⬆️ and walked out of my room and upstairs into the cafe to see Lex complaining that Bray had done a runner. Salene started defending him saying he will be back.

"But how do we know the Locos won't be with him?"

"Actually, I know exactly where he has gone and that he will be back, but he won't have the Locos" I told them.

With that I went into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of fruit and started eating as I went downstairs into the music store. I decided I wanted to play something so I sat at the piano and started playing a song I remember the chords to.

We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you
I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough

As you drive me to my house
I can't stop these silent tears from rolling down
You and I both have to hide
On the outside
Where I can't be yours and you
Can't be mine

But I know this
We got a love that is hopeless

What I didn't realise as I was singing was that everyone had come to see what was happening and was standing there listening

Why can't I hold you
In the street
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't it be like that
Cause I'm yours

It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you
It just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought
I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face

But I know this
We got a love that is hopeless

Why can't I hold you in the street
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that
Cause I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that
Cause I'm yours

I don't wanna live life this way
I don't wanna hide us away
I wonder if it ever will change
I'm living for the day
Someday

When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that
Cause I'm yours
I'm yours

Oh why cant you hold me in the street
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love
I wanna shout it from the rooftop
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't it be like that
Cause I'm yours

Why can't we be like that
Wish we could be like
That

I was startled by everyone clapping.

"You guys heard that?" I said nervously. I hadn't sang or played since mine and Jacks parents died.

"Yeah, it was so good. You should do it more" what surprised me was that Lex said that. Everyone turned to him shocked.

"Thanks Lex" I said, stunned.

Everyone started walking off to do their own thing, but Lex stayed put.

"Did you want something?" I asked him.

"I was just wondering if you remember me from before the virus, we used to be neighbours?" Oh my god

"I didn't recognise you!" I exclaimed as I got up and hugged him. We sat down and started talking and catching up. In the inside, I was anxious for the moment that Bray arrives with Trudy.

"You okay, you look kind of distant? And where is Bray?" Lex asked me.

"You remember Trudy right? The girl who was known to start drama and lie, everything to be about her?" After he nodded, I continued, "Well she dug her claws into Bray after the virus hit. And at the school disco, she slept with Martin and now she's preggo. He is looking after her, but their not in a relationship, no matter how much she wants to be. Last night after you all went to bed he helped me clean up, and he told me that he regretted cheating on me and all of that. Lex, I think I still love him" I told him.

"Well, I think you should go for it, just make sure Trudy doesn't get there first. Does he like you back?" He replied.

"Doubt it. Can't see why he would" I said.

"I can. You're the most beautiful and talented person I know, besides me of course" classic Lex " and you're the kindest and most caring person in the world, he'd be crazy not to" he scolded me.

I hugged him as thanks and we just sat there for a while, before getting up and going into the cafe so that I could make lunch, since I seem to be the only responsible person here.
