Caitlins POV

I am back.

My surgery went very well. I am 98% tumor free.

Because the surgery was quite non-invasive, my recovery time went very quick. I was only out for about a month and then everything after that sky-rocked.

I started going on tour with Young Money and having performances of my own.

Tonight I will be performing at my old high school. And to say that I am nervous is an understatement.

I'm shaking in my boots.

I am currently standing on stage waiting for the announcement for me to go out there and sing.

From where I am standing, I can see him sitting with his friends but he seems to be zoned out on everything.

I wonder what will happen when he sees me.

Oh God. Now I am freaking out even more.

I hear my stage name Jojo being called and I know this is it.

I take one deep breath and head out onto the stage.

Show time.

I walk onto the stage with my mic in one hand and wave with my other hand as people that recognize me go crazy. I see his friends jumping up and down seeing me again.

Looks like they missed me. It warms my heart.

I see him sitting there with wide eyes and open mouth gawking at me.

I stare straight at him as I start singing

Come with me
Stay the night
Just say the words but, boy, it don't feel right
What do ya expect me to say?
(You know it's just too little, too late)
You take my hand
And you say you've changed
But, boy, you know your begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game
(You know it's just too little, too late)

So let me go now
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know

I stare straight at him while singing my heart out

It's just too little, too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
(You know it's just too little, too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase to be real
It doesn't matter anyway
(You know it's just too little, too late)

Yeah, yeah, it's just too little, too late, mhm

I close my eyes while singing the next verse. Images and moments of us together flashing thru my mind while singing this.

I was young
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn't good enough
And now you wanna communicate
(You know it's just too little, too late)

Go find someone else
In letting you go
I'm loving myself
You got a problem
But don't come asking me for help
'Cause you know

It's just too little, too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
(You know it's just too little, too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase to be real
It doesn't matter anyway
(You know it's just too little, too late)

I start crying while looking directly in his eyes. I see many emotions passing through his eyes as well.

I can love with all of my heart, baby
I know I have so much to give
(I have so much to give)
With a player like you, I don't have a prayer
That's no way to live
Oh, mmm, no
It's just too little, too late
Yeah!

It's just too little, too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
(You know it's just too little, too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase to be real
It doesn't matter anyway
(You know it's just too little, too late)

You know it's just too little, too late
(I can't wait, no)

It's just too little, too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
(You know it's just too little, too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase to be real
It doesn't matter anyway
(You know it's just too little, too late)

"Thank you everybody and have a great night." I say once I am done and walk off the stage and straight into some warm comforting arm.

Arms which I have missed dearly. I wrap my arms around his muscular form and inhale his musky scent and cologne.

"Hello love. Are you ok?" He says kissing the top of my head.

I look up from his chest and stare into those beautiful eyes of his. I stand on my tippy toes and place a deep, passionate kiss to his mouth.

"I am so much better, now that you are here, Stephen." I tell my boyfriend.

" I tell my boyfriend
