"Faith. Please open the door." I heard Cole say.

"Go away."

"Come on. Please open the door. Gabe is really sorry."

"I don't care."

"Please open the door. For me."

"I-I just need some alone time." I reply quietly, but he must've heard me, because he replied with a solemn "Okay."

I sat on my bed, curled up, the scenes replaying endlessly in my mind against my will.

I decided to do the one thing that makes me truly happy, other than family and Cole.

I grabbed my headphones, and pressed shuffle. But apparently, my music taste decided it hated me when the familiar tweeting birds and piano chords struck my ear drums.

Broken bottles in the hotel lobby

Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again

I know it's crazy to believe in silly things

But it's not that easy

I remember it now, it takes me back to when it all first started

But I've only got myself to blame for it, and I accept it now

It's time to let it go, go out and start again

But it's not that easy

But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started

High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again

High hopes, when it all comes to an end

But the world keeps spinning around

And in my dreams, I meet the ghosts of all the people who have come and gone

Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon

Naïve I was just staring at the barrel of a gun

And I do believe that, yeah

But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started

High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again

High hopes, oh, when it all comes to an end

Now the world keeps spinning

Yeah, the world keeps spinning around

High hopes, it takes me back to when we started

High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again

High hopes, oh,

And the world keeps spinning

Ooh, yeah, this world keeps spinning

How this world keeps spinning around

The next song, however, gave me an idea.

It was time for my next appearance on stage, and I did fairly well at avoiding Gabe, which was pretty difficult considering we live on the same bus. I made my way to makeup, and greeted Jaycee and Danielle, who were forced to share a room due to the small size of this location.

"Hey, there's our favorite opening act!" Jaycee joked, nudging Danielle, who turned around and beamed at me.

"Hey! What's up?" She asked.

"Nothing, but I have one simple request." I tell them, both of them growing eager.

"Can you make me seem like a girl set on redemption and payback?"
