Walking into music class, I hear something. "Please welcome Annie, Glimmer, Clove, and Finch. They're gonna sing a song." They all go up on the stage. "This is for you, Kat. We love you."
[Leigh-Anne/ Annie]
She captures her reflection then she throws the mirror to the floor,
Her image is distorted screaming is it worth it anymore?
[Jade/Finch]
No oh oh oh oh
[Jesy/Clove]
Are you scared of the things that they might put you through?
Does it make you wanna hide the inner you?
[Jade/Finch]
You're not the only one so let them criticize (ah ah ah ah)
You're untouchable when you realize oh oh oh~
[All]
Change change your life take it all,
We're gonna stick together ,
Know we'll get through it all,
Change change your life take it all, [Perrie/Glimmer](Take it all)
You gotta use it to become what you've always known
(become what you've always known)
[Leigh-Anne/Annie]
His body starts to flicker like nobody wants to know his name,
[Leigh-Anne/Annie & Jesy/Clove] Just another soul with feelings but nobody there to feel the pain
[Jade/Finch]
No no nooo
[Jesy/Clove]
They can rip you bring you down down to their size,
but they will never get to the heart you hold inside, mm mm mmm
[Jade/Finch]
You're not the only one so let them criticize (ah ah ah ah)
You're untouchable when you realize oh oh oh.
[All]
Change, change your life take it all, [Perrie/Glimmer](Take it all)

"Stay strong Kat."
They walk down the stage and I don't know what to think.
"We've heard about a girl named Katniss Everdeen. Which one is she?" I hear someone behind me say. I look behind me and see...
Little Mix?!
Is this some sort of joke?
"That's uh me." I say quietly. "Well we got a surprise for you." Perrie says. And music starts.
[Jade:]
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word,
Always talking but she can't be heard,
[Leigh- Anne:]
You can see there if you catch her eye,
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside,
Scared to talk but she don't know why,
Wish I knew back then
What I know now.
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see,
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
[Jesy:]
Little me
Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age,
You can't write a book from a single page,
Hands on the clock only turn one way,
(Yeah)
[Perrie:]
Run too fast and you'll risk it all,
Can't be afraid to take a fall,
Felt so big but she looks so small,
Wish I knew back then
What I know now.
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.
(Know that right here, right now)
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be, oh,
Little me
Little me, yeah
[Leigh-Anne:]
Tell you one thing I would say to her
[All:]
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.
(You got to) you gotta speak up, (You got to) you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
Little me

All my friends stand there, grinning widely. They knew about this didn't they? Finnick who goes up to Jade and asks if she wants a sugar cube. "Uh..." She says awkwardly. Jesy takes my hand and leads me out. Perrie, Leigh-Anne, and Jade follow. We sit down on a bench. "So tell us. Why so down?" Jesy asks. "My family is all dead." I mumble. I start to sob and Perrie wraps me in a hug as of she's known me all my life. I wipe my tears. "I'm sorry you had to see that." "No you have I let your emotions out at some point." Leigh-Anne says. "Hands on the clock only turn one way. And as the night, the end part of the clock, gets closer, the world becomes more beautiful. And so will yours." Jade says. "Thank you." I say. I really am thankful. "Can I see your phone?" Perrie asks. I take my phone out of my pocket and hand it to her. I see her type everyone's phone number in my contacts. "Why would Little Mix want to talk to someone like me? A depressed suicidal girl?" "Because deep down under that mask that's there lies a sweet, confident girl who just wants to shine. If you want the rainbow, you have to deal with the rain." Leigh-Anne says. "Leigh. This is not time for The Fault in Our Stars." Jade says. "I don't know who I am anymore. I used to know a girl with a rose in her cheeks. And twinkle on her eye. And a symphony in her lips. Now I know a girl who slices her wrists. Has a snow in her cheeks. And a secret the persists." I open up honestly. "Are you scared of the things that they might put you through? Does it make you wanna hide the inner you?" Jesy asks. "I really don't know who I am. All I know is my name is Katniss Holly Everdeen and I don't want to live." I say, tears pricking in my eyes. "If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses. Sink me in the river, at dawn, send me away with the words of a long song. The sharp knife of a short life. Well I had just enough time." I sing softly. "You have an amazing voice." Leigh-Anne compliments. I smile sadly. "What's with this? This world? This life? I mean what's my purpose here? I don't know. I don't. I don't want to stick around to find out."
