Not in the same way - 5 seconds of summer 

-A

"Ok so I think the beginning should go 

Drink all night, never sleep
You say go, I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way" 

Luke says with his feet kicked up on Julie's legs and his six string on his arms.

"Yes that sounds perfect and then I think Reggie should should have a solo sing the mascara verse that we wrote last night the one that goes, 

Not today, mascara's running down your face again
I can feel it coming it down on me
Hurricane insert name
We're good at this game, game"

Julie says singing to the three boys and Reggie nods his head in agreeing with them and repeating the verse.

"Sounds good Reg what do you think Alex?" Luke says

"Ummm ya sounds good." Alex says staring at the wall that he hasn't looked away from for the past 2 hours.

"Hey Lex you good?" Julie asks and Alex turns his head to Julie.

"Ya I'm fine." Alex says as he gets up and heads into the bunk room sitting down on the bottom bunk.

Luke swings his legs off of Julie and hands her his six string and then follows Alex into the bunk room.

"Hey Alex. I know your not good what's going on?" Luke says now sitting next to Alex.

"It's just it's been a year since I meet Willie and I haven't seen him since Caleb's stamps disappeared. I- I- I- I- can't help but think that when Caleb disappeared he took Willie's soul with him." Alex says crying.

"Alex don't think like that Willie is probably fine." Luke says now holding Alex's head that rests on his shoulder.

"They why wouldn't he see me. He would've tried to talk to me by now." Alex says now looking up at Luke and a tear falls down his face staining Luke's shirt.

"Don't lose hope Lex you will see him again ok." Luke says now standing up and pulling Alex in for a hug.

The boys take 5 more minutes to calm down then they head into the main area of the bus.

"Is everything ok?" Julie says

"Ya it's all good." Alex says returning to his seat that he was in earlier and then band begins to write again.

"Ok so me and Reg wrote this next part and I think it fits Alex's voice perfectly and my dad would kill me if I sang it. Umm it goes,

We fuck, then we fight, then you call me a psycho
I walk out the door, but you won't let me let go
Turn right around, throw rocks at your window
But I can't forget you and I'll always let you."

Julie sings to the two boys that now have their jaws on the floor. 

"We do what now." Luke says with wide eyes.

Julie and Reggie just laugh and they continue to write after that. 

"Ok so we will sing the course and then in the 2nd verse Julie you'll sing,

Not today, I'm waking up to my mistakes again
I know you love to point them out
Baby, I'm sick of sadness and you're sick of Xanax
We're good at this game, game.
