Mac was in his car after processing the crime scene with Stella.

He really loved her it was just to hard for him to come out with his feelings he was afraid he might be rejected. So Mac to calm down his emotions a bit he turned on his CD player. When he pressed the play button instead of his favorite song playing he heard " that's what get when you let your heart win" By Paramore

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.And why do we like to hurt so much?

He was going to have to give Livia her CD back next time he saw her. But it really wasn't a bad song it just got him thinking about him and his feeling for Stella.

I can't decideYou have made it harder just to go onAnd why, all the possibilities where I was wrongThat's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now Mac was starting to tear up this song was getting to him. It felt like the song knew exactly where his heart was coming from. He would have to thank Livia the next time he saw her. But it still hurt a little that maybe Stella might not have the same feelings for him as he does for her. He was also afraid that if he told her his true feelings that she might Quit and he would never see her beautiful face ever again. He was ok looking from afar.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Mac couldn't help his feelings for but he had too he still wanted to be friends if that's all they were going to be then that was fine with. But it just still hurt every time She talked about a new boyfriend or how she look at him with her beautiful smile it just hurt to know that he wouldn't wake up one morning to that smile. He wouldn't wake up to see her beautiful curls that kinda reminded him of noodles that you get in those ramen noodles packets. Why was he thinking again ohh yeah because of her.

"I hear she's a good cook he thought." he said to himself

Pain make your way to me, to me.And I'll always be just so inviting.If I ever start to think straight,This heart will start a riot in me,Let's start, start, hey!Why do we like to hurt so much?Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

As the song was coming to an end so were Mac's ride home back to his apartment. Maybe he'll ask Livia if he can borrow her CD for a little while.

Mac arrived at his apartment to see his daughter outside waiting for him looks like she forgot her house keys again. " wow liv can be a real forgetful sometimes." Mac thought to himself.

That's what you get when you let your heart win!Whoa.That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
