I'm done. I really am. If this is what Lost and Found has come to, even I'm not sure this is where I wanna be.  The fact that the best songwriter in the studio is being accused of plagirising a song she clearly wrote shows that some people here are pretty low. And yeah, ok, so it looks bad but I have an intuiton that that's...intentional. Leia looking bad. Anyway, did anyone ever stop to think Leia's song was stolen? Exactly. It's a pretty radical idea, I know, but I feel as though someone set Leia up to get her out of the way. I don't know who would do that, though. Maggie's claiming it's her song but she would never do something as horrible as that, so I guess someone tried to get in the way and make them both think it's their song. It's like someone wants to get rid of Leia...

Y-You know what? Uh, never mind. I'm just thinking crazy thoughts. It's ridiculous. We've been back and forth for what feels like an eternity and we need to come to a decision. Leia. Needs. To stay. I don't know what I would do without her. She makes me smile even when I'm down and I love watching her perform. She's an amazing person and musician. That's why we can't kick her out.

"Alright, kids, I think we've had enough discussion for now," interrupts Parker. "We need to come to a decision."

"Uh, Parker?" asks a suddenly very quiet Rachel. She takes a deep breath as we all turn to look at her. "I-I just wanted to say tha-that all the evidence shows that Leia is guilty of stealing Maggie's song." I turned to watch Leia as Rachel spoke, hurt and sadness mixed on her face. "If you think about it, Leia had the exact same chords as Maggie and the same lyrics. Their songs were identical. I think that means that she must have stolen it. And although some of you are saying that she wasn't there during open stage, she could have snuck into the recording studio and learnt the song. Plus, she wasn't there that day so she didn't know Maggie performed the song, so she didn't know that we'd know it was Maggie's. If that makes sense. It just really seems that Leia is guilty," finishes Rachel, looking down to the floor.

Mr T sighs. "After that, Leia, I can't help but think Rachel is right. The evidence contradicts everything that you're saying, and the argument of those defending you. I'm sorry, Leia, but I have no choice but to ask you to leave Lost and Found."

My heart breaks. I want to cry. I feel lost and alone. I can't imagine how much it must hurt for Leia.

Her face crumples. She looks at Rachel, her expression one of hurt and betrayal and shock, tears streaming down her face. Then she runs. Off the stage. Out of the Rose Room. Out of Lost and Found.

"Leia!" I shout, taking off after her, leaving behind a room of silent, shocked people.

I run out into street, panting, and see a familiar car (that I'm usually so happy to see) pull away into the street, and I watch the black car fade into the distance, disappearing in the horizon.

That's it. Leia's gone. And I might never see her again.
