love don't run [tyler and carver]

[CHELSEA HOPE-ARTEMIS PAYNE,]

love don't run
love don't hide

it won't turn away or back down from a fight

Chelsea glanced across the stage, looking at Carver.  She felt terrible.  Her attitude on stage though never reflected it, the brunette continuing her routine smiling and goofing off with Tyler. But she avoided going towards Carver with her usual hug and kiss at the end of the set.  Instead, rather, she stepped forward, taking off her electric guitar and exchanging it for her acoustic guitar.  "Hey guys," she spoke into Tyler's mic, swallowing hard.  "I kinda blew up at Carver this week... So, I have a song that I wrote.  I hope y'all don't mind if it comes out a little country."

The crowd stared at her as she swallowed hard again, glancing over her shoulder and seeing Tyler giving her thumbs up.  She set her fingers in the beginning C chord.

"This is gonna hurt, this is gonna hurt like hell. This is gonna damn near kill me, sometimes the truth ain't easy. I know that you're scared of tellin' me something I don't wanna hear. But baby, believe that I'm not leavin', you couldn't give me one good reason

Love don't run, love don't hide. It won't turn away or back down from a fight. Baby, I'm right here and I ain't goin' anywhere. Love's too tough, it won't give up. No, not on us, baby, love don't run."

She strummed the last chord and looked down, swallowing back a sob. "Thank you," she choked out, before running off stage and taking off her guitar, putting it back with shaky hands.  She sank down besides the steps that lead off stage, allowing herself to release a sob that racked her entire body.  Chelsea heard footsteps and quickly tried to compose herself. "I'm fine," she mumbled rather than a greeting.

[CARVER DWAINE PAYNE,]

Carver definately wasn't acting like usual for the show. He avoided the others as much as possible for being on a stage with them. It wasn't easy though since the others were acting like normal, including Chelsea. He pushed it aside though, not letting it get to him. It was though. He hated fighting with her but her acting like nothing was wrong? Least she was happy.

At the end of the set he was ready to leave though stopped once she started talking, giving a slightly questioning look but staying in his spot to see what she had planned. He pushed his guitar to his back and put his hands in his pockets listening to her and looking down, smiling slightly. That quickly faded though. He felt bad for the whole thing after all that.

Once she finished and hurried off stage he sighed, shaking his head and heading off stage after her. After taking his guitar off and putting it down he walked over and sat behind her, wrapping his arms around her and shaking his head. "For some reason, I don't believe that." he said pulling her closer. "You know, you should take Ty's singing spot. You're much better at it." he said trying to cheer her up a bit, though doubting it'd work.
