Note: The song is called "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted". The version I'm listening to is the one by Vonda Shepard. Think Ally McBeal.
Chapter Thirteen
A return to karaoke…
Avery takes the stage confidently, although she feels about to vomit.
"This…this is for anyone who has been hurt beyond repair."
Avery is staring pointedly and unapologetically at Nathan.
As I walk this land of broken dreams/I have visions of many things/Love's happiness is just an illusion/filled with sadness and confusion
"Why is she looking at you like that?" asks Sam confused.
What becomes of the broken hearted? Who had love that's now departed/I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, maybe
"I'll tell you when we're outside."
The fruits of love grow all around/but for me they come a-tumbling down/everyday heartaches grows a little stronger/I can't stand this pain much longer
"Why can't you tell me now?"
I walk in shadows, searching for light/cold and alone, no comfort in sight/hoping and praying for someone who cares/always moving and going nowhere
"Do you want to know or not?"
What becomes of the broken hearted? Who had love that's now departed/I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, maybe
"Of course I do!"
I'm searching though I don't succeed/but someone look, there's a growing need/oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning/all that's left is an unhappy ending
"Avery looks unhappy," remarks Tristan.
Rory just glares. "I told you about this place in confidence. I can't believe that you would bring your son and his girlfriend here!"
Tristan sighs. "Her heart's really broken, isn't it?"
Rory cries. "It is, and I don't know how to help her through it."
Now, what becomes of the broken hearted? Who had love that's now departed/I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind/I'll be searching everywhere, just to find someone to care/I'll be looking everyday, I know I'm gonna find my way/nothings gonna stop me now, I'll find a way somehow
"Let's go outside," Nathan whispers to Sam.
"Okay," she replies and they stand up to leave.
They don't notice, but a single tear falls down Avery's face when she watches them leave.
What becomes of the broken hearted? Who had love that's now departed/I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind
In the parking lot, feeling like he is going to have a panic attack, he sits on the dirty ground.
"What are you doing?"
"I feel calming closer to the ground."
Sam sits down beside him. "So? Is she a crazy ex-girlfriend, or something?"
"Not really," he says sheepishly. "She's the mother of my daughter."
