- Olivia -

I sat in class and I see no Lauren. I know she's still recovering, but I miss seeing her in class.

Baby: Babe I miss youuuuuu (and school lel)

Me: Shut up, greenie is talking.

Baby: JJ Green! My favorite teacher.

"Olivia!" Mr. Green yelled my name. He's our history teacher, funny, because he rarely knows anything about history. "Yes, sir?" I asked. "Put that thing away." He said. "Alright, sir, will do." I said. No I didn't.

Me: I have to go, babe. Greenie is not happy today.

Baby: Okay then. Love you.

Me: Love ya too, baby.

Lauren is so lucky to be stuck at home doing nothing. I wish I was there with her. I like our teacher Mr. Green a whole lot, but right now, I want to be in Lauren's arms cuddling. When I came back to school yesterday and this morning, people kept asking me shits about the church fire and things. I've heard enough.

I was bored at home yesterday so I made a random video of me covering Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud. Somehow, in over 15 hours, the video got over 5,000 views, I smiled. I just scrolled through the comment section.

@nothinglikeyou65: You're great.

@benicetopals2: What happened to your arm?

I replied.

@breathinginsnowflakes (A/N Lauren's Youtube Channel): @benicetopals2 You'll find out soon. :)

I just keep reading. Some haters, some nice ppl that likes this, some made me smile. I sat up at the edge of the bed and picked up my guitar. I had put my laptop on my studying table and start to record. "Hey guys! It's Lauren here!" I said. "Thank you for all of your support for the last video. Today, I am going to cover Headlights by Cimorelli. Enjoy." I said and played the first chord.

Flannels and ripped jeans and Friday nights

Now all I see is fields and fences

Remembering flickering lights on a Sunday

Just wanting to feel something

These memories won't let me be

So I'll just play them back

I see summer rain

And that autumn change

It all came so fast

Smell of wood burning

Sparks jumping around

I thought by now

I'd have it all figured out

With our hoods up

And our hearts out

I was fearless before I got let down

I wonder if I could

Get back to that place now

I got two headlights

And a thousand miles to go

Two hundred feet of light
