Riley:cuz unlike you I like school (gets off her bed goes to her drawer and picks out her clothes)

Lucas:hey I like school

Riley:suree (goes in her bathroom and 20 minutes later comes out wearing a pink shirt that says love in bold letters jean shorts and heel wedges)

Lucas:you look amazing (goes over to her and grabs her hands)

Riley:(blushes) thanks

Shane:aww princess, you see if you don't break up with your little boyfriend and become my girlfriend me and some of my friends will best him until he's not breathing, so make your choice sweetheart (kisses her and walks away)

Riley:(slides down onto the floor and cries)

Lucas:(was walking to class but saw Riley crying and runs over to her) princess why are you crying (sits next to her)

Riley:(looks up tears streaming down her face) I'm, (chokes on her tears) breaking up with you

Lucas:what, (shocked) why

Riley:i just am (says quietly and gets up and walks away crying)

Lucas:(shakes his head still trying to process what just happened and walks away crying quietly)

~LATER THAT NIGHT~

Riley:(was in her room crying hard into a pillow she gets up off her bed and walks over to her piano sits down on it and stars playing a song she wrote that same night)

(Riley soon starts singing along with the music)

Breath again by SARA BAREILLES

🎶Car is parked, bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

(Riley stops singing and breaks down crying)
