I was currently lying on the spare bed in Carson's room here at our house.  I was replaying what had happened earlier.  It killed me, seeing Hailey like that, like literally killed  me.

"Man, you don't have to leave." I told Carson who was messily stuffing a black suitcase with his belongings. "I have to." He said for the millionth time, before telling me that it was because he didn't want to put us in danger.

"You have your own problems and y'all deserve a break." He said and I sighed before remembering all the times Carson and my sister were in the same room.  I jumped up into a sitting position and looked at him.

"You like her." I whispered in realization and he stopped for a second before continuing and shaking his head,  "I don't know what you're talking about." He said, his back still to me.  "Michaela, you like Kayla." I said and he shook his head again. "You like her!" I said and he threw down a shirt,  "No I don't! Stop saying that!"

"You're afraid!" I told him and he sat down on his bed, looking up at me with tear stained cheeks. "I do, but I can't--"

"Look, if you really like her," I told him before sighing,  "Then---"

"Special family meeting!" Brad and I grinned at each other as everyone came and sat down in the lounge.

"Why a special family meeting?" Hailey asked and I smiled, winking at her.

We created a 'Special Family Meeting' for when we really needed to tell the others something or come clean about something.  It was basically just telling and showing our emotions in a song or two.

"Because I think some of you have some secrets." I said before looking at my closet sibling,  "Kayla why don't you come up?"

After a lot of coaxing, Kayla finally came up with her guitar.  "My role model wrote these two songs that I'm about to sing." She started before sighing,  "And I'd like it if she came up and sang with me."

Hailey bit her lip, grabbing her guitar and sitting next to Kayla, in front of everyone.  "Do I really have to do this?" They both asked and Brad and I chuckled, "Yes!"

Hailey closed her eyes for a brief moment before reopening them and strumming her guitar.  "You'll do the first verse. I'll do the second and we'll both come in for the third and the chorus." She told her younger sister who nodded and started strumming along.

(Hailey = BOLD Italic,  Michaela = Italic,  Both = BOLD)

" I don’t think that passenger seat. Has ever looked this good to me. He tells me about his night. And I count the colors in his eyes. He’ll never fall in love he swears, As he runs his fingers through his hair. I’m laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong. And I don't think it ever crossed his mind. He tells a joke, I fake a smile. But I know all his favorite songs.

And I could tell you his favorite color's green. He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth. His sister's beautiful, he has his father’s eyes. And if you asked me if I love him, I’d lie.

He looks around the room. Innocently overlooks the truth. Shouldn’t a light go on? Doesn’t he know that I’ve had him memorized for so long? He sees everything black and white. Never let nobody see him cry. I don’t let nobody see me wishing he was mine.

I could tell you his favorite color's green. He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth. His sister's beautiful, he has his father’s eyes. And if you asked me if I love him, I’d lie.

He stands there, then walks away. My god if I could only say, "I’m holding every breath for you..."

He’d never tell you but he can play guitar. I think he can see through everything but my heart. First thought when I wake up. Is "My god, he’s beautiful." So I put on my make-up, And pray for a miracle.

Yes, I could tell you his favorite color's green. He loves to argue, oh, and it kills me. His sister's beautiful, he has his father’s eyes. And if you asked me if I love him. If you asked me if I love him.

I’d lie. "

"Oh My God!" My siblings and I yelled.  "They said love! Hailey Victoria Blair actually said the 'L' word!" Brad shouted and Hailey gave him the finger before whispering into Kayla's ear and she nodded, before they started strumming again.  (Hailey = BOLD Italic,  Kayla = Italic,  BOTH = BOLD)

"The day I first met you. You told me you'd never fall in love. But now that I get you. I know fear is what it really was,

Now here we are, So close yet so far. Haven't I passed the test? When will you realize, Baby, I'm not like the rest?

Don't wanna break your heart. Wanna give your heart a break. I know you're scared it's wrong, Like you might make a mistake. There's just one life to live. And there's no time to wait, to wait. So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break. Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break. Oh yeah, yeah.

On Sunday you went home alone. There were tears in your eyes. I called your cell phone, my love. But you did not reply.

The world is ours. If we want it, We can take it if you just take my hand. There's no turning back now. Baby, try to understand

Don't wanna break your heart. Wanna give your heart a break. I know you're scared it's wrong. Like you might make a mistake. There's just one life to live. And there's no time to wait, to wait. So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break. Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break. There's just so much you can take. Give your heart a break. Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break. Oh yeah, yeah.

When your lips are on my lips. Then our hearts beat as one. But you slip out of my fingertips. Every time you run, whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh.

Don't wanna break your heart. So give your heart a break. I know you're scared it's wrong. (I know you're scared it's wrong) Like you might make a mistake. There's just one life to live. And there's no time to wait, to wait. So let me give your heart a break (Let me give your heart a break)."

Suddenly Hailey stood up and Blaze smiled, "Tori, look at me. Just me." He spoke. It was still weird hearing Blaze talk. Hailey let out a deep breath and looked right at Blaze.

" 'Cause you've been hurt before. I can see it in your eyes. You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise. Don't wanna break your heart. Baby, I can ease the ache, the ache. So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break. Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break. There's just so much you can take. Give your heart a break. Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break. Oh yeah, yeah.

The day I first met you. You told me you'd never fall in love."

Hailey then put her guitar down and walked outside the door.  "Carson went up to Kayla as she stood up. He cupped her face and kissed her. I whooped, along with Grayson, Lloyd and Brad.
 While Carrie, Rae, Rocky, Madison and Harmony cheered.

I put a hand on Hayden's shoulder,  "Go after her, bro." I said and he smiled at me before rushing out after Hailey, closing the door behind him.

Oh, young love.
