The lights gently illuminate Asha and Beans in the cozy living room. Asha, having just read the final page of "The Notebook," seeks solace next to Beans. He gazes at her, concern etched across his face.

ASHA: "And if, in some distant place in the future, we see each other in our new lives, I will smile at you with joy, and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love." (- Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook)

She smiles and rests her head softly on Beans' shoulder 

ASHA: Softly. The End.

Beans, absorbing the weight of those words, looks deep into Asha's eyes.

BEANS: Asha, look at me. You can't stay here, not with that woman.

Asha, with a heavy sigh, meets Beans' gaze, a silent acknowledgment of the shared turmoil.

ASHA: What can I do? We're both minors, still kids. Helpless. The adults, they control every aspect of our lives. No matter how much we want to break free, we can't. If I leave, she'll unleash the dogs, and they'll blame you for my disappearance.

Standing up, Asha paces, the weight of her words intensifying.

ASHA (CONT'D): It doesn't matter what I say; they'll side with her because she's the adult. And you'll end up in jail.

Emotion wells up in Asha's eyes as the harsh reality of their situation unfolds.

 Beans, Interrupting, Beans grab Asha's hands with determination.

BEANS: Look, Asha, on the day you turn 18, I'm getting you out of this home. I promise.

Asha locks eyes with Beans(They ballroom dance the entire song)

"No Matter"

Verse 1 (Asha): In the quiet of the night, under the starry light, We share a secret, just you and I, Through the storm, we'll weather the fight, Our love's a melody, soaring high.

Chorus(Asha & Beans): No matter what may come our way, I'll be by your side every night and day, Through the laughter, through the tears, In your arms, I'll conquer my fears.

No matter, I'll be by your side, In every twist and turn, we'll abide, Our love's a flame that won't subside, No matter what, together we'll glide.

Verse 2 (Beans): Like a novel, our story unfolds, Each chapter, a memory to hold, Through the seasons, through the years, In your laughter, I find no fears.

Chorus(Asha & Beans): No matter what may come our way, You'll be by my side every night and day, Through the laughter, through the tears, In your arms, I'll conquer my fears.

No matter, you'll be by my side, In every twist and turn, we'll abide, Our love's a flame that won't subside, No matter what, together we'll glide.

Verse 3 (Asha): In the echo of your voice, I find my song, In your eyes, where I truly belong, Through the echoes of time, our love will grow, In your embrace, forever I'll know.

Chorus(Asha & Beans): No matter what may come our way, I'll be by your side every night and day, Through the laughter, through the tears, In your arms, I'll conquer my fears.

No matter, I'll be by your side, In every twist and turn, we'll abide, Our love's a flame that won't subside, No matter what, together we'll glide.

Bridge (Asha & Beans): Through the echoes of "I love you," In every sunrise, in morning dew, In the quiet, let our hearts speak, Our love, an anthem, strong and unique.

Verse 4 (Beans): Hand in hand, let's face the unknown, In the symphony of love, we've grown, Through the valleys and over the hill, Our love, a promise, sealed and still.

Chorus (Asha & Beans): No matter what may come our way, You'll be by my side every night and day, Through the laughter, through the tears, In your arms, I'll conquer my fears.

No matter, you'll be by my side, In every twist and turn, we'll abide, Our love's a flame that won't subside, No matter what, together we'll glide.

Outro (Asha & Beans): Till the end, our love will endure, In every moment, in memories pure, In the canvas of time, our love will reside, No matter what, in love, we'll bide.
