The song in the media box is Heartbeat by the brilliant Carrie Underwood.

A/N: Before you start the chapter check out this beautiful poem by Winter_Ballerina. Thank you, hon!

Poor ballerina
All broken inside
Only the devil sees through her lies

Traumatised devil
With something to hide
Will he let the ballerina inside

With Lies to their friends
and lies to themselves
How to get out of your personal hell

Both broken
Both lost
Both trying to dance
How to dance when there isn't a song

Cause when your trapped in a personal hell
Don't stop. Don't cry. Don't carry on.
For nothing can fix them
They're already broken

The ballerina and the devil
Both broken in song

The song is life
And the dance is love

But can you really  not carry on?
We all have our reasons
Whatever we do
They just have more reasons than you

Not being perfect
Forever alone

All things come to an end I suppose

But nothing will save them
They're already saved
They both saved each other

In a way

The ballerina and the devil
Only time will tell
Did they get fixed?
Or did they break each other as well?

"Megan Fox or Mila Kunis?"

"Easy, Kunis."

"What? Are yo- Tell me you're not serious."

"Of course I'm serious. Mila Kunis is hot."

"Not as hot as Megan Fox."

"Megan Fox is overrated."

"You're overrated."

"Because that made sense, Demi."

I shook my head slowly and stared out at the dark road stretched ahead of us. The light from passing cars flashing around us

"You're crazy," I scoffed. "Absolutely crazy. That's the only explanation for this. There is nobody hotter than Megan Fox."

"Rihanna," Aidan challenged.

"Rihanna isn't a mortal, she's a goddess, therefore she doesn't count," I explained rationally. "And we're talking about actresses, Aidan! Not goddesses/singers."

"Whatever you say, scout. Moving on...," he paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts. "Emma Stone or Charlize Theron?"

Silence settled between us for a moment before we briefly met each other's eyes and nodded simultaneously.

"Charlize Theron," we said in harmony.

I smiled and leaned back in my seat. "How long have we been driving?"

"Little over an hour," he said, checking the time on the clock near the radio.

"So is the plan to cross over a couple of state lines? Are we headed for Canada...?"
