December 5

Josh walks into his house and sees his mom sitting in a chair. She's just staring into nothingness. She has tears in her eyes and her hair isn't brushed. She is still in her Pjs. 

"Mom, you okay?" he asks her. She's there but yet she's not. She's been like this since they found the body. It's like she's sleep walking her way through her life. She hasn't gone to work in weeks. 

"Yeah," she says as she gets up. 

"What do you want for dinner?" she asks. 

"I can just make myself something," he says. 

"No, I'll make you something," she says.

She opens the cabinet and pulls out a box of pasta. She drops it and it spills all over the floor. Josh goes over to her and helps her pick it up. 

"Do you need help?" he asks. She frantically puts the pasta back in the box. 

"No, I can do it," she says as she pushes Josh away. Her hands shake. Josh crawls over to her and puts his hands over hers. 

"It's okay," he says. She shakes her head. He hugs her and she cries into his arms.

Justin sits at the Detroit plaza. 

"This next song, really explains what I'm going through right now, so here is it." He strums his guitar and starts singing.

"Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I'll set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Ooooohhhhhhh [4x]"

Justin looks up to see Olivia in the audience. She walks up to Justin. 

"What are you going to do?" she asks him. 

"I'm going to find out who killed her, and when I do, I will make sure that they suffer the way I suffered."
