    "I'm so proud of you!!" Naomi and Kim smiled taking Lyric and O'shea's graduation pictures.

Lyric sighed and tried her best to smile. "Let me see some teeth Lyric, smile!" Naomi yelled. Lyric kept the same fake smile plastered on her face.

Naomi gave up and snapped the picture anyway. "So what are y'all doing tonight huh? We were thinking of taking y'all out to dinner and after y'all can go out with your friends or something." Kim shrugged.

"Yea, you wanna go?" O'shea asked. Lyric shrugged. "Sure, I'll wait in the car." She mumbled walking away.

Naomi sighed. "Does she ever talk to you?" She asked. O'shea shrugged.

"Barely,she doesn't talk much anymore.. all she does is play basketball and she doesn't eat like she used to."

"Maybe you could just take her out." Naomi said. "Yea cheer her up." Kim agreed.

"Taylor's funeral is tomorrow..I don't think there's anything I can do to cheer her up." O'shea said. He tried everything and he couldn't get her to smile once.

"Well you gotta try."

"The mail came for you.. you want me to get it?" O'shea asked picking up a stack of mail with Lyrics name on it.

She shrugged and poured herself another glass of wine. O'shea licked his lips. "You sure you want to drink all of that?" He asked.

Lyric kept her mouth shut and placed the glass between her lips. "Ookay." He shook his head and saw some letters from multiple college's including OU.

He looked up at Lyric and she wasn't even paying attention. O'shea stuffed it in his pocket then opened USC's letter.

He smiled when he read her acceptance letter. "You got into USC." He said. Lyric shrugged. "Great." She said sarcastically.

She grabbed the wine bottle and Erin walked downstairs. "Are you supposed to be drinking that?" She asked.

Lyric ignored her and walked upstairs to her room. Erin rolled her eyes while O'shea read the rest of the acceptance letters.

He then opened Oklahoma University's and sighed. "Owe she got into OU?" Erin asked. O'shea folded it back up. "Nah she didn't." He lied.

Erin shook her head. "Too  bad, that would've made her atleast a little better." She shrugged and walked into the living room.

O'shea thought about it and sighed. He didn't know what to do. Maybe she'd still have a hard time, this letter wouldn't make any difference. 

He ran a hand down his face. "Now I just sound selfish." He mumbled to himself. "O'shea!" He jumped when he heard Lyric calling him.

He ripped the letter up and threw it away along with newspaper. "I'm coming!" He called back. He stood up and walked up to her room.

Lyric wrapped her arms around his neck and smashed their lips together.

O'shea kissed back for a second until he could taste the wine on her lips. He pushed away and frowned.
