Things went back to normal after all of the drama in early February and soon it was time for Lisa to do her performance in AL. Ericka had decided to go ahead and let Xavier come with them and she'd answer his questions when he asked them. Lisa was getting nervous about her performance and she had to be there early the morning of the concert to run through the song with Ludacris. Everything had been explained so he knew what to expect from her when he was introduced to her. Scott had flown in and Ericka was picking him up from the airport. Brandon and Nelson also flew in to be there for the concert. It finally came time for the concert to begin and Ludacris came out doing his thing. They didn't know when Lisa's song was so they had to wait. After the 3rd song, Ludacris started talking.

"Now on this next song, I had to call in a little bit of help. Of course y'all know Mary's out on tour doing her thing right now, so she's unable to be here. However, I did one better. Y'all remember the contest we had that led us to this song?"

Of course the fans screamed.

"I went and called in the girl who wrote this song herself. So, Montgomery, AL I want y'all to give it up for the one and only, definitely talented Lisa Myers!

The crowd cheered and Lisa made her way out on the stage standing right beside Ludacris.

" Now, we're gonna do this a bit different tonight than what you're used to hearing on the radio. We hope you enjoy."

When Lisa got her cue, she started singing. When it came time for the first verse, and every verse there after, she and Ludacris were facing each other singing them except for the chorus. They did the last line together and that's how they ended the song. The crowd cheered wildly and Ludacris bowed to her before she made her exit from the stage. Lisa had given them all passes to get them to a certain point backstage where she would meet them at. When she got over there, she was bombarded by hugs from the girls, Scott and Xavier.

"You did great sissy!"

"Yea Aunt Lisa, you did awesome!"

"Why thank you Playboy."

Ericka and Lisa locked eyes and Ericka knew her approval mattered to Lisa the most. It always had.

"You did great baby. I'm proud of you."

Then and only then would Lisa smile. She turned to look at Scott.

"Don't think I forgot about you over here mister."

"I knew you hadn't."

"No, but your patience is equal to my nephew's. What did you think?"

"I agree with Xavier, you were awesome."

He pulled her to him and kissed her gently. A resounding chorus of awes echoed through the group.

"Y'all should be used to this by now!"

"It's still fun to do it!"

"Mean people. I swear."

"Excuse me Ms. Myers?"

She turned and looked at the security guard who had called for her.

"Yes?"

"We have lady over here who says she's your mother. She wishes to see you."

She glanced past the guard and Scott saw her physically stiffen. She looked back over at him.

"You're coming with me."

"Whatever you want to do baby."

They made the short walk over to where the security guard had pointed.

"What do you want Connie?"

"Lisa, sweetheart. How have you been?"

"Like you give a damn."

"I've been trying to find you."

"I'm not giving you anything Connie."

"I just want to try and repair our relationship."

"We never had one. That was your fault and only yours."

"I know that. I want to fix that."

"It will be a cold day in hell before I have anything to do with you after the conclusion of this conversation. I hope you listened to every word of that first verse. I hope it kills you to know what you put me through. Oh I tried to tell you, but you chose not to believe me. Singing that song was the first time I've said the word home in 10 years because I couldn't say it without being reminded of the hell my life was then. I can't even let a man touch me without being in fear they're going to hurt me the way I was in your house. My family is right over there. I had a mother for two years of my life and you definitely weren't her. I hope you can live with what you did because when I walk back over there, you're officially dead to me. Oh and you need to get better at hiding your track marks Connie, a few are still showing. I would say have a nice life, but I wish upon you all the suffering you could bear times infinity. It wouldn't pale in comparison of what I've went through because of you."

Lisa turned and began to walk away when she suddenly stopped. She went to go after Connie when Scott grabbed her.

"Baby, you can't. Not if you want to move to Canada. You can't have a criminal record."

"I want to kill her Scott, but death wouldn't be good enough for the bitch."

"I know baby. I know."

Tears were rolling down her face when she cupped his.

"My baby, please take me home with you. Please."

"We'll get it started baby. We've got a few things to take care of, but you'll probably be able to move in with me right after your birthday okay?"

"That's four months away."

"I know baby, but the things we've gotta get done they take time. I wish I could snap my fingers for you. You know that."

"I wanna go home."

"I know baby. We'll move heaven and earth to get you there."

Scott pulled her tightly to him trying to not get emotional himself. She was using the word home to describe living with him and in a good way. Her heart was broken again by the woman who gave birth to her and he felt helpless on how to fix it. Ericka came over to them a minute later, just placing a hand on her shoulder to let her know she was there.

"She's still using Mom."

"Oh baby."

"How could she fix something when the same problems are still there?"

"I know hon. I know."

"She didn't hold back Ericka; she told her exactly how she felt about it."

"Good for you sweetie. I'm proud of you."

"We're gonna start putting in for the stuff she needs to move to Canada."

"I wanna go home. Sorry."

"It's okay baby. Right now, I think I could forgive you."

"I need to get my stuff and get out of here before I screw up my chance to go with him."

"She can't have a criminal record if she wants to move."

"Ah, I wondered why you grabbed her so quickly. I thought you'd at least let her get a few licks in."

They got her back to the hotel and Scott just held her.

"Scott?"

"Yea baby?"

"Make sure I never end up like that."

"I promise you baby. You'll never end up like that."

"Okay."

"I love you baby."

"I love you too."

That was all she spoke the rest of the night. Ericka had called to check on her, but Scott took the call letting her know what was going on. He told her they'd see them before they left for the airport tomorrow morning. Of course she asked him to take care of Lisa. The following morning, Lisa was still in pretty rough shape. She'd communicate but her voice was barely above a whisper and she was almost zombie like. She promised Xavier she'd explain when they met up in Orlando what was going on because she knew he was worried about her. When Lisa and Scott landed they went instantly to the hotel and to the room.

"Baby, you need anything?"

"You."

"You've got me."

"No, I need you Scott. It hurts."

Scott walked over to her crouching in front of her, his hand going to her cheek.

"I'll take the pain away baby."
