Shay's POV

I took the ring off assuming what would happen. If he really wanted me that bad. He would've gotten on his knees or at least say something. The silence was almost unbearable, that I had to leave. Clearly we made a mistake. I can't live with these barriers.

I drove to Joe and Demi's and knocked on the door.
"I'll get it Babe," I heard Demi's voice say. Once she opened the door. Her mouth dropped at the sight of me. "Shay! Oh my gosh what happened? Please come in." She grabbed my bag as I walked in taking a seat on the couch across from Joe.

"I can see you two are still at it again from last night," he said softly. Demi came over and wrapped ourselves in a soft purple blanket.

"At it at what?" She asked.

"They got in a argument over something really stupid. Well I guess you can put it with him basically arguing with himself. You know he didn't mean anything towards you, right? I mean it's Nick." I lowered my head. I know he's right, but I'm not sure how much I could handle. It's like every three steps I take, Nick has to pull me five steps back.

"You left him didn't you?" Demi asked taking ahold of the hand that showed off my naked finger. Tears formed again as I got up and left to their room. Inside stood a small white grand piano. I took a seat and placed down my fingers.

Nick's POV

I found myself sitting on the edge of my bed with her ring in hand. Why couldn't I say anything? Why can't I run over and give her what she wants. Why do we always end this way? Why are these staying as thoughts and not words or actions?

I glanced up towards my keyboard. I gathered my strength and forced myself to it. Once I sat down, my chest felt like I just ran a mile. I ignored it and placed my fingers on the keys.

Shay's POV

"Drive my heart out through the night.
You can drop your keys off in the morning.
Cause I don't wanna leave home without your love
Without it."

Nick's POV

"I don't know what went wrong
I lost the key to our song
But we had it made for so long
Their were nights I would cry by your side cause the flame was gone.

No words, it hurts, way to much to speak."

Shay's POV

"You told me that you wanted this
You told me I was all yours
If your done with it
Then why'd you say forever for?
If forever's out the door
I'll ignore when you call."

Nick's POV

"It's time for me to break the silence
Cause we've been screaming so loud in the inside
It's time for me to break the silence
I wanna hold you so bad
But it ain't right
Cause I can't feel the love is dying
If you ain't about this girl
Kiss my soul while your still around
We might not miss this chance
To break the silence"

Shay's POV

"But if I fall for it again
I will be a foul
If our love is at an end
Then why do I still want you?

I was crazy to think you were mine
When it was all just a lie

Nick's POV

"Theirs a melody in my mind
As the memories of us fly away
And I can see it now
That you need to find
A new way to replace all the white noise in your life."

Shay's POV

"I always knew I never wanted this
Never thought it would happen
You acted like you wanted this
Then you led me on
I thought you would be there if I go
You promised you would be there if I go

But all the broken promises
I won't missed
I'm finished
All I know are the facts
That when you look me in the eyes
All I see are your lies
Been there
Done that.."

"You're not leaving him again, are you?" Joe's voice caused me to jump. I stopped my thoughts and looked at him. His eyes were full of remorse. "If you leave, I highly doubt he'll be coming back."

"But I already left," I told him quietly. He pulled me next to him on the bed.

"You know how I feel about all this. I think it's stupid."

"But I hate conflict." He placed a strand of my blonde hair be hide my ears.

"I know you do, but you can't keep running off every time you and Nick are at a peak. You'll have to learn how to express your feelings. And I know the best way for you is through song." I now know what I have to do. I have to go back and let myself be vulnerable. So I went back to the piano and wrote what I had to say to Nick.

Nick's POV

"If you could only hear my heart. We will make it through.
We wouldn't fall apart." I let my fingers slide off and fall on my knees. My knees ached as my unhelpful hands rubbed them. I counted down to three in my head before I got up. As I made my way towards my bed. I grabbed my guitar then collapsed before I could take another step; I sat myself up with guitar on my lap and wrote until I feel asleep.

My eyes twitched as I heard noise coming from outside the room. I lifted myself up to find Shannon walking in, papers in hand. She's fully aware I'm on the ground as she looked down at me.

"We need to talk," she finally whispered. I noticed the sheet music in her hands, so I showed her mine. We both let out a faint laugh. She sat hers on the bed, then helped me up. Once I got in my spot in the bed. She took hers at my keyboard. She smirked at me as I forgot to turn it off. I let out another faint laugh then a small smile. Maybe she's ready to come back.

I allowed the keys she played to fully wrap me in like a blanket. I let myself lean on her soon to be words like a pillow.

"Well, I don't know how to say this right.
While my words got me choking
We keep hitting this wall
It's never going to fall
And we're still broken
This mountain we've been trying to climb
It's never ending
We gotta do something
Can't do nothing
Cause if we don't open up our eyes
We're just pretending

You know there's a time for giving up.
I didn't want to have say this
All we're doing is building walls
And now there's too many barriers.

Chorus:
Here we are laying here
And it's our last final goodnight
Just because it feels so good
We're just pretending we're alright
Too many locks, too many cries
Too many tears, too many lies
Too many barriers

Now we've been dragging this whole this out
And I can't wait any longer
Our love's burning down
Creeping in the doubt
And we're not getting any stronger
I hear you say that we're doing okay
Buy baby I don't think so
We can't do nothing
Gotta do something
Cause if I don't get in my car
Then I won't go very far.

You knows theirs a time for giving up
I didn't want to have to say it
All we're doing are building walls
And nows theirs too many barriers

Chorus

Just too many barriers that we keep running into
We keep trying but we just can't break through
I know I'm going to keep wishing I was with you
But we just gotta stop

Here we are laying here
And it's our last final goodnight
Just because it feels so good
We're just pretending we're alright
Too many locks, too many cries
Too many tears, too many lies
Too many barriers."

She stopped playing and took her attention towards me, putting me on the spot. I'm not sure how to react. I've been feeling the exact opposite. I guess I should let her know and pray for the best.
