(Ryan’s P.O.V.)

I reach for my phone and dial my brother. Him and I were close, he also grew close to Lillian. His voice says "Ryan, what's up?" I stammer "L-Lil." He says "What about my Lillian?" 

I say "She's working with me, my songwriter, my assigned songwriter." He says "Oh, lord, that's great. Ry babe and Lillian baby." My eyes swell with tears as I yell "I broke her!" He says "What?" 

I say "Colby, I broke her. I broke up with her, her freshman year of college and left her broken in Lincoln Street." He says "Oh, god. How's she?" I say "Broken, more than I know."
