"I'm going out of my mind

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Whatever happens
Even when everything's down
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall

At this point of the song Julie had the crying redhead on her feet dancing with her in the studio. Olivia just couldn't help it, this song was an anthem, a song that just made you want to get up and live every minute. It was just what her need in this moment. 

I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling
Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Like I'm glowing in the dark
I keep on going when it's all falling apart
Yeah I know it with all my heart
Ooh, ooh

As Olivia watched her friend live her best life, her happiest moment she couldn't help but wish she could do it too. She wished she had what Julie had, a belief that she could do it, and the ability to write something that didn't make people cry.

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall

As Reggie started sing he couldn't help make eye contact with the girl. He sung the words right to her. He felt like she needed it, like she needed someone to tell she could do it, she could stand tall.

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Stand tall
Stand tall

This did not go unnoticed by the redhead as she stared in to Reggie warm eyes, he felt like a safe place. A place that she needed. It also did not go unnoticed by the rest of the band who smirked at each other as they all joined back in.

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tallWhatever happens
Even when everything's down
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall

As the song came to a close Julie wanted to share her mic with Olivia. It may have been a few year but she hadn't for gotten the beautiful voice that the girl possessed. Hoping that some how the spirit of the boys would help. Would make make her want to.

But it didn't Olivia stock her head pushing the mic back toward Julie as the song came to an end.

I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feelingWhatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall"

"You guys really are amazing." Olivia said stepping back towards the couch playing with her fingers.

An act that didn't go unnoticed by Alex, as he looked her in the eyes he could also feel the pain the girl was holding on to.

"I better getting going or aunt Sarah will send out a search party, and I've got a big day tomorrow." She said sighing, giving Julie one more warm hug before making her way towards the studio doors. Before turning back to the group stood inside. "It was also great meeting you guys, even if I did panic a little too much." She chuckled a little trying to reassure the boys they where ok in her books.
