"We'll give you guys some space." Noah said shoving Joe out into the hall and closing the door behind them.

"How did you know I was here?" Lee said. "Well, I got a call from Noah saying that he was on his way to the hospital with Joe because something had happened to you. I caught the first train out of Canada and came here to see if you were ok. And I know you probably don't want to see me right now but I" "No. It's ok. In some weird way, it's nice to see you. Here," she gestured to the chair next to her bed, "have a seat."

Finn took a seat, "Can I be honest with you for a minute?" "Yeah. I'm scared." Finn took a sharp breath, "You look like shit." "Thank you froggy boy." The two let out a laugh and they heard the door open. "Is it safe to come in now? Nobody's in tears or anything?" "Yes. Who is that?" Three people walked in and a smile crossed Lee's face, "Gaten, Caleb, and Sadie! I would get up to hug you but I am otherwise unable to do so." They walked in and took a seat on the couch and Noah joined them. "I'm going get Hannah Rose from Brit. I'll bring back Chic-fil-a." "Bye Joe." He closed he closed the door behind himself. "So, If you don't mind my asking, how did you get in here?" Sadie said. Lee and Noah looked at each other. "It's a long story." Lee said. "And we are all ears." Caleb responded shifting his position. "Well," Noah began.

After he had finished, there was a silence that seemed to last forever. "I swear if I ever see that little shit bag Chaz again I'm gonna rip his fucking face off." "Slow down there Gaten, nobody is ripping anyone's face off." "That bullshit though," Sadie said standing up, "Nobody hurts my best friend and gets away with out paying the price." "He will pay a price. As soon as the cops find him, he is going to jail." Noah said pushing Sadie back down on the couch.

The kids sat and talked about random stuff for a little while. "Damn, I missed this. Just like talking to you guys." "I missed it too." Caleb said. Joe opened the door and Hannah Rose followed behind. "Guys, Noah's mom is here to pick y'all up." Each kid said goodbye to Lee and she even gave Noah a small kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow Lee." He said as he closed the door. "Bye! Ok Joe. What are you hiding?" He pulled out a Chic-fil-A bag out from behind his back. "Oh praise the lord!"

Hannah got in Lee's bed next to her and Joe gave them their food. "What's on Disney?" Hannah Rose said hinting that she wanted to watch Disney Channel. "Let's look." Lee grabbed the remote and put the TV on Disney channel, "Rapunzel!" Hannah Rose squealed. "Oh not a princess movie." "Two out of three, majority rules." Lee said selecting the channel.

The movie ended and both Joe and Hannah had fallen asleep. But Lee wasn't tired. She reached under her pillow and grabbed a notebook and placed it on the tray in front of her. The inside of that notebook had only ever been seen by one person, Lee. It was song ideas. She looked around and let out a sigh. How could she had ever let this happen to herself? Why didn't she believe Noah when he said that she shouldn't have gotten back to with Chaz? Sometimes she wished she herself. That was it! She took a pen from the tray and started writing like she had never written before. After about 15 minutes she looked down at what she had done. "Oh yeah," she whispered, "this is gonna be good."
