Song: Thinking Out Loud by Lesley Roy

I've been losing my mind

I've been living a lie

I've been running away

For so long

I try to put on a face

And cover my heart

But I'm needing it now

So bad

Cole know he was stupid for writing that letter. But, he couldn't bring himself to tell her in person. He knew that after everything he'd done not just this last month but in her past, he knew that Starr would never forgive him.

But, he looked at himself hard in the mirror that hung in the back of his locker and he sighed. He searched for his next classes books and shut the door.

I don't know

How I feel

Maybe I'm mad

Or maybe I'm proud

Can't find the truth

Can't speak my mind

Don't know what Ill say

I'm just thinking out loud

Thinking out loud

Starr looked at the letter in Cole's handwriting, and wondered what he had to say. After their conversation in the graveyard a few nights before things felt different between them.

She'd really felt it when Cole put Hope's locket around her neck. She felt is finger graze her neck and she knew he still loved her.

She'd tried to hide, and she threw everything she had into trying to love Schuylar when she was so obviously just burying the feelings that she still felt for Cole. But, she sighed and opened the letter.

No, no I cant explain

What's happened to me

I feel like I'm right

And wrong

Inside everything's upside down

Everything's spinning around

And it's freaking me out

Dear Starr,

I know that I should be saying this in person but, I can't.

After everything I have done I don't feel like I deserve you anymore. I just don't.

But, I still love you. I always have, and I always will. I don't know what I can do or say to make you believe in me again but, I promise you that I WILL be sober before summer starts.

I promise we will find out what happened to our daughter.

I promise that I will love you forever and always.

Love,

Cole

I don't know

How I feel

Maybe I'm mad

Or maybe I'm proud

Can't find the truth

Can't speak my mind

Don't know what Ill say

I'm just thinking out loud

Starr shut her locker and ran down the hallway towards Cole. She threw everything aside and she saw him fixing to leave his lock but, something stopped him.

Cole turned to se Starr not three feet away from him and he dropped his books on the floor and ran towards her.

Starrs book fell, an crashed on the floor. He arms wrapped around Cole's neck and their lips met.

He pulled her closer to him, their bodies melding together and her back arched as his had rested on the small of her back.

If only for a day

I could be free

I bet you'd feel the same

If you were me

I'm gonna spit it out

Just let go.

I've been losing my mind

I've been living a lie

I've been running away

For so long

"Forever and always Starr." He whispered into her ear, not wanting to let her go.

"Forever and always." She whispered back to him.

They pulled apart a few seconds later and each picked up their books ignoring the tardy bell. Cole took Starr's hand and he led her out of the school.

"Where are we going?" She asked him and she smiled.

"Away from this place, at least just for a day." He said to her.
