Becca's P.O.V.
I won. Shawn will be happy with Ashley, even though she doesn't deserve him. But hey, neither did I.
Chad will mess with some more girls' reputations. Natalie will be with Jack. They will all forget about me. Good.
That's what I want to be forgotten. To forget. I decided to keep running. I'm free. I run away from the school. I run by Natalie's house. I run by Ashley's house. I run by Shawn's house. I run by my house. I run by the ludge.
I run by some more houses but one stands out. I know this house. I have some business to take care of here .
I decide to just walk in. "Ben?" I call walking around the small house, "In here!" he shouts over the sound of a piano. I follow the music.
As I get closer, I start to recognize the song, the memories flow through my mind. This is our song. I start to tear up.
"That sounds really good" I say leaning on the door frame trying to stay strong while he is turned the opposite way facing his piano.
"Yeah, well you two made it sound good" I sniffle at the thought of us two. He turns around obviously hearing me as tear roles down my cheek. It hurts. It all hurts.
"What's wrong?" he says concerned, "Oh nothing, just allergies" I lie trying to stop from crying. "Mhm well maybe you can think of a better excuse out here, let's go talk" he says motioning to the living room.
Ben's P.O.V.
Once we get there she sits on the couch and I sit in the chair across from her. "So what's really bothering you?" I ask. I haven't seen her sad like this in awhile. Last night she was so happy. She doesn't reply to my question.
"Is it Shawn?" I question a tear streams down her cheek once again, bringing knees up and pulling them against her chest, she then hides he face behind them. I hate seeing her this way.
"What did he do?" I ask she sighs attempting to speak, she looks up at me "He didn't do anything... I did" she speaks, "tell me more sweetheart" I plead
"Ben I- I "she stutters "I let him go" she finally admits. I knew from the minute her eyes met his last night while they were singing, she loves him.
"I just gave him away" she says with more tears falling from her eyes. She looks back down to the ground
"I think you've fallen in love" I speak the truth. She looks up at me and slowly shakes her head "I will never fall in love" she whimpers.
"Tell me what happened after that" I command. "I ran" she spoke softly, "I left everything behind and ran" she lowers her voice disappointed in herself. .
"Sometimes we run in life just to see who will come after us" I speak "But what if no one comes after you" she comebacks
"Then you walk" I joke trying to lighten the mood. I move to sit next to her and place my hand on top over her as she rests her head on my shoulder.
"Listen, sometimes we have to run away from the people we love, not because we don't want them to realize their worth, But for us to realize our own worth." I quote. We sit there in silence and listen to one of my favorite songs, 'Vienna' play on the radio
"Slow down you crazy child" The first line plays, with a lot of meaning behind it towards Becca. I see the sun shining through the window.
I instantly know whats happening. Debra. I look over at Becca and she is smiling because here we are. One big family.

Becca's P.O.V.
After awhile I decide to leave, I don't want to over stay. "Hey Ben?" I ask, "Yeah?"
"Can I go open up the bar a little early?" I begged. It opens in a half an hour anyway.
"Sure but give these back to me as soon as I get up there" he said handing me the keys. "I will. Thanks" just as I opened the door.

I had no trouble getting their it was only across the street. We live in a small town. I unlock the doors and turn on the light. I know where everything is at; I'm here all the time.
I walk to the stage and messed with the DJ equipment. There is a lot. I managed to set up the karaoke machine and I chose my song.
'Who You Are' by Jessie J., I thought it fit the situation appropriately. So I'm gonna do what i always do, sing through my problems.
"I stare at my reflection in the mirror
why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
No, no, no, noDon't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are(Who you are, who you are, who you are)
(Who you are, who you are, who you are)(Who you are, who you are, who you are)
(Who you are, who you are)
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
The more I try the less it's working, yeah,
'Cause everything inside me screams, no, no, no, no, yeahDon't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
There's nothing wrong with who you areYes, no's, egos, fake shows
Like woo, just go, and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight
With a smile , that's my own
That's my own, no, no, no, no, noDon't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are, yeah, yeah, yeah"I sang my heart out and walked around the whole stage emphasizing every word. I put everything I had into that song and let it all go.
