**Chapter 3: Unveiling the Past**

As the studio audience continued to buzz with excitement, Kelly Clarkson leaned forward, her eyes shining with curiosity. "Alright, let's get to the bottom of this. Sabrina, Nick, take us back to the beginning. What inspired this new song, and what happened between you two?" She gestured to the camera, her voice inviting the audience to join in on the conversation. Sabrina's eyes locked onto Nick's, her gaze searching for reassurance. Nick's smile softened, and he took a deep breath before speaking. "It was a few months ago, after we...parted ways. I reached out to Sabrina, and we had a long conversation about our past." He paused, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he recalled the memories. "I think that's when the idea for the song started to take shape." Sabrina's cheeks flushed again, and she looked down, her voice barely above a whisper. "I wrote the song during a difficult time, trying to process my emotions and figure out who I was outside of our relationship." Her eyes drifted back to Nick's, a hint of vulnerability shining through. "It was a hard time, but it was also a transformative one." The studio audience was on the edge of their seats, sensing a deeper story unfolding. Kelly Clarkson nodded encouragingly, her eyes sparkling with interest. "And the song, is it about your relationship with Nick?" she asked, her voice gentle. Sabrina hesitated, her gaze darting to Nick before responding. "It's about the emotions I felt during that time – the heartache, the uncertainty, and the growth that came from it." She smiled softly, a hint of defiance in her voice. "But it's also about finding my own voice and learning to love myself, flaws and all." Nick's eyes lit up with pride, and he reached out, his hand brushing against Sabrina's once more. "That's what I love about this song, Sab. It's raw, it's honest, and it's a testament to your strength and resilience." His voice was filled with admiration, and the audience could sense the deep affection between them. As the conversation flowed, the studio audience became more invested, their whispers and murmurs growing louder. Kelly Clarkson smiled, sensing the audience's enthusiasm. "Well, we're excited to hear this new song. Sabrina, are you ready to share it with us?" Sabrina took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling with a mix of nerves and determination. "I was born ready," she said with a smile, her voice firm. The studio lights dimmed slightly, and the sound system hummed to life. Sabrina's fingers began to strum the strings of her guitar, and the room fell silent, anticipation building as she began to sing. Her voice soared through the studio, a haunting melody that spoke of heartache and healing. The audience was captivated, their eyes locked on Sabrina as she poured her heart and soul into the performance. Nick watched, his eyes shining with pride and adoration, as Sabrina's voice wove a spell of emotions, drawing the audience into her world. As the song reached its climax, the studio audience erupted into applause, cheering and whistling for more. Kelly Clarkson beamed with excitement, her eyes shining with tears. "That was incredible, Sabrina. Thank you for sharing your gift with us." The camera panned out, capturing the electric atmosphere of the studio. Nick and Sabrina stood together, their hands touching, their eyes locked in a moment of pure connection. The question on everyone's mind was: what would happen next in this complicated, beautiful love story?
