Freddie's P.O.V:

It has been a couple of weeks since me and Sweetpea last talked. I missed him a lot, but I know I had to give him this time alone to figure his feelings out. Even if it hurt me.

Today was the day I'd be performing lifeboat for the first time, I was beyond nervous. Kevin called me up to the stage to perform.

The music began playing and I begin singing.

I float in a boat, in a raging black ocean low on the water with no where to go. The tiniest lifeboat. With people I know.

I looked out to the audience.

Cold, clammy and crowded. The people smell desperate, we'll sink any minute. So someone must go. The tiniest lifeboat, with the people I know.

I think about Sweetpea and the anger/ sadness builds up inside of me.

Everyone's pushing! Everyone's fighting! Storms are approaching there's no where to hide! If I say the wrong thing, or wear the wrong outfit they'll throw me right over the side!

The tears start rolling down my face.

I'm hugging my knees and the captain is pointing. Well who made her captain?!

My eyes meet sweetpea's

Still, the weakest must go.
The tiniest lifeboat, full of people I know. The tiniest lifeboat, full of people I know.

Everyone claps. I don't care though I run out of the auditorium crying and run to my car driving off. As I look in the mirror I faintly see Sweetpea running after me. But I've already drove off.

Sweetpea's P.O.V:

God I'm so stupid! I've ruined things with the best thing that's ever happened to me! All because of Josie. That day in the auditorium when I told freddie I still had feelings for Josie I instantly regretted it the second it came out my mouth. I knew I made a mistake. I don't like Josie, I can't believe I was stupid enough to think I did. I need to make it up to Freddie, and soon!
