RYELIS POV:

" I looked in my rear view mirror and, it seemed to make a lot more since than what I see ahead of us, ahead of us, yeah. I'm ready to make that turn, before we both crash and burn cause that could be the death of us, the death of us

And baby you know how to drive in rain and you decided for it not to make a change, stuck in the same old lane, going the wrong way home

I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper to bumper-"

So, here I am singing in front of about 30-50 people. I love this. I love having an audience and I love singing to the audience. This is the dream.

Every so often I would look at Evan and he would just smile, but not for long.

After I sang the song I said thank you as people put in their change and money. When they all left I picked up the hat the lady gave us.

"150?" I asked worried that wasn't enough. "That'll buy one." Evan said. Then he had the facial expression you get when you have an idea. "I can rap and you can sing! That might attract more people faster" he suggested, and I nodded in agreement.

"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars cause I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now. Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars cause I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now."

"Yeah, I could use a dream, a genie or a wish to go back to a place much simpler than this-"

(Evan) ^

I watched as more ad more people filled in and stood around to listen. Some people put in money and walked off.

We sang about 3-4 songs and I instantly felt bad. I've been to focused on everything else besides Benjamin! I'm set out to find him and I will find him. He's my baby. Even though I broke his heart and just walked away. But still.

BENJAMIN POV:

"If you love someone let them free. If they come back it was meant to be"

Baby, was it meant to be?

EVANS POV:

I picked up the hat and we had about $300 now.

"20 more dollars" Ryeli sighs, and I do too. "I have ten.." I say in hope, "4" Ryeli pulls out money from her pocket. She throws the money down in frustration. Ryeli immediately falls to her knees. "I'm never going to save him!" she cries out. I bend down to put my hand on her back. "Ryeli we'll get there, trust me" I say, she looks up and doesn't say a word. Ryeli gets up and starts to walk away. "Where are you going?" I ask, "STOP IT EVAN! Okay, you can't promise something like that! I don't want you to make up something to just comfort me. I want you to be truthful." A tear streams down her face. "I- I'm sorry...I just really like you" I admit. "I know Evan! And I like you too. But to be honest here, I don't want another relationship. It's just something I can't cope with. I want my old relationship and I want to go back in time for being so stupid for letting him go! And I broke his heart so many times Evan...an the worst part is...I can't even come to save him" she cries even more. I feel terrible.

I see her walk away in the corner of my eye. I shouldn't have done this, I shouldn't have been so forward and I shouldn't have tried to comfort her with lies. Worst thing you could ever do to a girl.

RYELIS POV:

Why?

Why does my life have to be filled with all these huge obstacles?

Why did God give me this life?

Why did my dad have to treat me so badly?

Why did I have to fall in love with Benjamin?

More and more questions ran through my mind as tears rushed down my face. Maybe I was over thinking everything. Maybe there's an easier way to get to Sweden and I just don't realize it.

TAXI!! Yes, I can do that. Maybe... Whatever. It's worth a shot.

I stand on the curb trying to signal a taxi. It wasn't the easiest thing in the world but I eventually got it. The driver stopped, but before I got in it dawned on me.

Evan.

I look back at the airport then straight ahead, an back again.

I jumped in the taxi and told the driver where to go. Off to Sweden.

I'm sorry Evan.
