     He walks me to the door of our hotel room and we just stand there awkwardly. My eyes flicker down to his lips and he obviously noticed because he smiled.
    "Okay well look at the time I better get going." I'm pretty sure I was sweating. He nods slowly before waving and turning around and walking away.
    I open the door and the four girls were standing there smiling.
   "I'm not telling you. Move, I have a song to write." I say and shove through them, taking out a piece of paper and I start to write.

Morgan's POV

After thirty minutes I decide to walk over to her and read over her shoulder.

"[Verse 1]
It sounded so much better in my mind, mind
I guess I messed it up again this time, time, time
There's something else that I wanted to say, say
But my twisted tongue got in the way, way, way

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
My mouth is moving without thinking
Ooh
My brain and mouth on different systems
Why can't you see my side of things
I've been thinking 'bout it ever since

[Chorus]
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
But I kinda froze in my tracks
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
But I kinda had a panic attack

I wish I could talk good
I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk
I wish I could talk good

[Verse 2]
Rerun the conversation in my head, head
Think of all the things that I should have said instead"

  Wow. "It's not finished Morgan, go away." At that second the other girls came over.
   "Don't you think we should be able to help? We are going to sing it too." Bre stood up slowly and looked at Mackenzie.
    "You are definitely not singing this song. This song is mine. Not yours. Mine. You will never sing it on stage, Kenzie."
     She raises her eyebrows before rolling her eyes and walking away.
    "Don't roll your eyes at me when you're the ones trying to invade my privacy. Don't roll your eyes at me at all." Emma, Ella and I just stand there staring.
     "Huh, weird. Especially when you let Zach roll his eyes at you in your car. What's up with that?" Emma takes a deep breath.
     "How the hell would you know about that?" Ella and Emma are in pure shock. They've never heard Bre cuss before.
    "Oh and you let him call you Breanna huh? Because last time I checked, you didn't let anyone call you Breanna."
    "Well maybe things change." Bre says and Emma tries to leave because she knows what's about to happen but Ella grabs her.
    "Emma hacked into your car's camera. We know everything."
    Bre paused and looked at Emma then to me. I looked down and she scoffed.
   "Wow." She said. "Okay." We all looked at her and she just sat down.
   "You don't have to be here, ya know." Mackenzie said and Ella, Emma and I looked at her in shock.
     "Fine. I'll leave. But," she paused, grabbing the stack of papers she had made the copies of her song on so we could memorize it and ripped them into little tiny pieces.
     "Have fun writing a song in-" she looked at her phone to see what day it was. "2 days." Then she walked to the door and slammed it behind her.
     "You're an idiot, you know that Mackenzie?"
