In recent events, Lia took Ruby home away from the chaos and laughter roaming the schools; the laughter of course was solely on Ruby, there hadn't been any other fascinating news. However, for poor old Ruby, she now knows life at school will be worse. New rumours, new lies and well new everything.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Lia turned to a tear stained Ruby, she rapidly shook her head, "Are you mad? My parents, if they see me I'm dead." Lia bit her lip remembering what Ruby's parents were like.

"Well we can't go back to mine, my parents aren't home, so I wouldn't be able to get in. What do you want to do?" Lia sighed.

"Mall?" Ruby suggested, Lia's eyes brightened up. She squealed, "OMG! That is such a good idea! How come I didn't think of that!"

Ruby thought; I just want to go home, curl up in a ball and hide away from the world but I know I can't. simply my parents are more than likely home and I will be dead.

Lia grabbed on to Ruby's hand and dragged her to her car. "Lia! Slow down." But it was too late as both of them were there already.

"Quickly! I want to go shopping!" Ruby sighed and rushed to get inside the car, buckling up and letting Lia drive her to the only place she felt free.

Well that was a slight exaggeration, the only time she felt free was in her room away from the world.

Both Lia and Ruby arrived at the mere empty mall, Lia slightly sad due to not being able to drool over boys. However, Ruby she was practically over the moon.

"So where to first Jenson?" All Lia got in response was a shrug. She sighed, "Come on, you should have a favourite shop?" She gave a cheesy grin.

"Well there's this one shop." Lia edged on, with what Ruby was saying. "I'll show you." Ruby grabbed Lia's hand and dragged her to her favourite shop. Ever since Ruby was young, she has always loved –

"A music shop?!" Lia was stunned. Ruby nodded, "I've always adored music, but no one knew. Not even Olivia."

"Wow..." Ruby's mouth drew a thin line. "Well what do you do?" Confusion struck Ruby's face. "Excuse me?"

"Like what do you play?" She looked around and spotted the only instrument she has ever dreamed of using, "Piano, and vocals."

Lia's eyes went wide, "Do you think you could play me something?" Ruby's heart dropped, she has never performed anything in front of anyone before. "I-I..."

"It's okay you don't have too." Ruby shook her head, "No, I will." Ruby quietly walked over to the piano and cleared her throat.

She started playing the piano so elegantly, angelically pressing each key. So soft. She started to hum, beginning to sing, and closing her eyes...

"If there is a weight pushing me down, telling me no saying I'm not good enough to be..."

"Oh, I'm not good enough to be, what if I break and no ones around? They're telling me no; these voices make it hard to breath."

"Oh, they make it hard to breathe, the voices I wish there was a way to find a way out."

"I guess for now I'm just finding my feet, I just wish these voices, didn't start with me..." Ruby faded out the keys, ending softly. Opening her eyes, she looked at Lia and saw tears in her eyes.

Then clapping came out of nowhere, she snapped her head round to Cameron clapping outside the shop. "Wow..."

At this point Ruby's words were stuck in her throat, she felt like she couldn't move. "You're good Jenson." She cleared her throat, "Thank you Cameron."
