"You really shouldn't but i need to kiss you once more," she says.
I cup her face with my hands and I kiss her. I take my time and I kiss her, taking in every second of it.
Billie pulls away and rests her head on mine.
"I love you," I say.

present day
Just one problem.
WE STILL HAVENT RECORDED THE LAST TWO SONGS.
"Get Bry down to the studio right now. I'll start texting artists to send me the clip of them singing that lyric," I tell Lauren.
I text Finneas, Conan, Matt, and a few other artists to send me an audio file of them singing a lyric which I also send them. They all sent the files within minutes of the text.
Lauren and I get to the studio where Bry was standing outside.
We go inside and get to our room.
"So all you want to do for this is strip Thirsty?" I ask. Lauren nods. She and Bry get into the booth and so do I with an acoustic guitar. I start strumming the chords while Lauren and Bry smile at each other and sing together.
After we finish, we listen back to it to make sure you could actually hear it.
"Perfect! Now the most complicated song," Lauren says.
"Let's go back to my apartment. I'm more comfortable there," I say.

I take an electric guitar and start strumming it. Eventually I turn on the distortion setting in my amp and continue strumming.
I record the guitar and add drums. I add some bass and Lauren and I started working on lyrics.

"Let's start recording!" Lauren says, jumping up from my bed. I turn around in my chair and start recording.
I got nowhere to go Just me and myself and the static on the radio I got nowhere to be I been lookin for a place since I was 17 I been shot down Dragged around Looking high and low for my identity But even when it hurts Know I'll end up where I'm meant to be Call me when you're depressed Real stressed Catch a break like recess, reset Popping pills going off the deep end All I wanted was to be myself And she's the reason Watch some anime And make some motherfuckin pizza Why do I get in my own head? Then she said, she'll never love herself again No no no I got nowhere to go Just me and myself and the static on the radio I got nowhere to be I been lookin for a place since I was 17 I been shot down Dragged around Looking high and low for my identity But even when it hurts Know I'll end up where i'm meant to be Conversations with my inner self I take my feelings and I put them on the highest shelf Saving everybody else getting draining as hell People tell you that you're selfish when you love yourself Cause they don't love themselves But I hope you love yourself I hope you to take this to the heart I hope you're doing well Manifest your best self every second If you're worried bout tomorrow stay present Yeah
I quickly put on headphones and Lauren and I sing the chorus.
We got nowhere to go Just us in the car now our song's on the radio We got nowhere to be We been looking for a place since we were 17 We been shot down Dragged around Looking high and low for our identity But even when it hurts Know we'll end up where we're meant to be
"This song is for anyone trying to find themselves, including myself. Cause let's be honest, we're all trying to fuckin find ourselves, and never forget, you're not alone" Lauren says.
I stop the recording and add the audio files of all the singers who I texted into the chorus that Lauren and I sang. I faded it and started the song from the beginning.
"I love it!" Lauren says.
"Me too," I say.
Lauren sends it to Grace, her manager.
Grace gives us the go ahead and Lauren announces the deluxe album.
