****Ever's P.O.V****

After Lena showed me around she took me to my first class, which I sadly didn't have with her. I was first in class. So, I decided to find a seat at the very back of the class. My nerves haven't exactly calmed down yet.

As no one was in class yet, I put my headphones on and pressed play on my iPod and 'Broken Strings' started playing. I started silently singing along to the parts with my eves closed and my volume full on so that I can calm myself down a bit.

"Let me hold you

For the last time

It's the last chance to feel again

But you broke me

Now I can't feel anything

When I love you,

It's so untrue

I can't even convince myself

When I'm speaking,

It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up

I try to hold on, but it hurts too much

I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts

And lies worse

How can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing

We are turning into dust

Playing house in the ruins of us"

As I'm about to start singing the chorus, I hear a male voice singing along to it. I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me as if he was waiting for me to keep on singing. I guess he noticed that I wasn't going to continue so instead he started to sing to the chorus.

"Running back through the fire

When there's nothing left to save

It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late"

I noticed he wasn't going to give up anytime soon so, I started singing along, with him still looking straight at me.

"Oh it tears me up

I try to hold on, but it hurts too much

I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell something that ain't real

Well the truth hurts,

And lies worse

How can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
