Jack's POV
I've seen her instagram, she looks beautiful, but not happy. I made her happy, she made me happy. I don't know what happened that day, I didn't mean to hurt her, something took over me. I've been searching for months for answers, finally I've gotten a hold of the security footage from that day. I see us, that awful rat. She put something in my water. She drugged me. I ran downstairs and yelled for the boys, they all came in.
J- "she drugged me, I knew something was up"
C- "what?"
they all looked like they hadn't slept in months, none of us had.
I showed them the video and they looked shocked. Daniel ran into the kitchen and came back in with something. The tickets to her shows.
D- "we have to go to her"
We all agreed to go to her next show which was in Canada. We split and ran into our rooms and started packing. It was tomorrow night, we booked flights and now we just had to wait.

Marli's POV
The tour is almost finished, we have one more show in Canada and then it's back to the US. I loved touring, I had met so many amazing people, I had invited some people to perform with me, Jack&Jack, Harvey, Not3s and the Dolan Twins made an appearance. I was happy, but something was missing. I knew exactly what it was but I didn't want to admit it. Jack. He hasn't left my mind for the whole year.

Tonight is the show in Canada, i'm feeling good about this show, i'm ready. Pia had performed and I could sense something, a comfort, something I missed and knew. I shrugged it off and went out on stage.

Jack's POV
I saw her, she looked outstanding. Her hair was still grey, but with different colours bouncing off from previous dyes. She went up to the mic and started singing, I felt comfort, I looked at Dani, knowing he had something special with Marli when she sang.

Daniel's POV
She wasn't singing out of happiness, she was singing out of pain. I wish I could go up to her, save her, sit by her when she sang like when she first performed, but I can't. She doesn't want to see me.

Marli's POV
"Hey Vancouver!"
The crowd roared.
"This first song is called Home Alone, by Franke, my inspiration for music"
I sang and the crowd wanted more, I sang more of my music. Then, I decided to sing Liar, by Jack. I rarely did but i felt like I needed to.

Jack's POV
My song, she's singing my song. She remembers me.

Marli's POV
I finished and felt tears, I quickly wiped my eyes and continued, the two last songs, most important.
"Hey guys, so these last two songs are very important to me. This song, is for a guy, who changed my life, better and worse"

You promised you'd say goodbye
You promised you'd hold me one more time
But you didn't
You told me I'd always know
You told me to never let you go
So I didn't
But now it's far more complicated
You now think I'm overrated
Don't you? x2
And now my heart will be so broken
As it's like we've never spoken
It's so new
We're now like
Strangers
You blame it on the fact
That we're just stupid teenagers
We're now like
Strangers
But that's okay because
We're just innocent teenagers
I told you, told you it all
My weakness, how to make me fall
I trusted you
Turns out you loved to talk
You were nothing you said you were of
And that's true
Should've known you'd walk around
While someone else was on the ground
You think I would've tried
To bring you down
Now, what did it even mean
When you said you be there for me
Were you faking all that was between?
Cause you never said goodbye
You never held me one more time
And you promised
I will never know
Why you ever let me go
