Sodapop comes run out the front door as I sit outside on the porch as I think about my life and how it's gonna change, "Lucy, don't go!"

"I have to," I sigh.

"No, we can work this out," he pleads. "I love you."

"I'm staying with Claire and that's final!" I yell at him. "You ruined us Sodapop! You ruined everything for us! For me! I'll be back in a few months maybe weeks maybe days."

"Please," he begs. "Don't go. I love you."

"Sodapop, listen," I sigh.

Lucy
I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us
doesn't seem right these days
life keeps getting in the way
Whenever we try somehow the plan
is always rearranged

It's so hard to say
But I've gotta do what's best for me
You'll be ok...

I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
We might find our place 
in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way

Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
and I watch them fall every time
Another color turns to grey
and it's just too hard to watch it all
slowly fade away

I'm leaving today 'cause I've
gotta do what's best for me
you'll be okay...

I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
We might find our place in this
world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way

Sodapop
What about us?
What about everything we've been through?

Lucy
What about trust?

Sodapop
you know I never wanted to hurt you

Lucy
and what about me?

Sodapop
What am I supposed to do?

Lucy
I gotta leave but I'll miss you

Sodapop
I'll miss you

Lucy
so
I've got to move on and be who I am

Sodapop
Why do you have to go?

Lucy
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand

Sodapop
I'm trying to understand

Lucy
We might find our place in this
world someday
but at least for now

Sodapop
I want you to stay

Lucy
I wanna go my own way
I've got to move on and be who I am

Sodapop
What about us?

Lucy
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand

Sodapop
I'm trying to understand

Lucy
We might find our place in this
world someday
but at least for now
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way

"What are you saying?" Sodapop asks with this broken look on his face.

"I'm saying what we had, is over," I say as I let out a small sob.

"No, please don't do this," he begs as he starts to cry.

"I'm sorry," I peck his lips as Claire pulls up. "Goodbye Sodapop."

Soda's P.O.V.

I sit on the steps as the tears run down my cheeks. I ruined it. I ruined everything. I hate myself for doing this to her, to me, to us. The gang all joins me as we sit outside under the stars. "I'm sorry ya'll," I sigh as I look at them.

"It's okay man, she'll come back," Dally sighs.

"I hope," Pone looks away.

"I feel like shit!" I say as I cry. "She's living with Claire."

"The girl you cheated on her with?" Johnny asks.

"They both loved me and I broke both their hearts," I sigh.

Things are never gonna be the same without her.

Lucy's P.O.V.  

Things are never gonna be the same without him.

Is this the end of everything? Will Lucy come back? How long will she be gone? Does she hate Sodapop? Does she love him? Are they heartbroken? How does the gang feel? What are they gonna do with Lucy? What are Lucy and Claire now?  Stay gold. Do it for Johnny!
