Chapter 10

*Stevie POV*

I looked down at the floor and thought about it after she explained to me where she was going. I wanted to sleep but I know I'd probably miss Ally and not be able to, so I just agreed to go with her. I have no knowledge in music whatsoever but it wouldn't hurt to go and meet Danny properly. And besides, it'd be nice to hear Ally sing.

"Hey, it'll be fine." Ally said noticing the look on my face. "You can just sit in the lounge and watch." She gave me a small smile and went in the bathroom. I watched her through the doorway as she brushed her hair, it could be the fact that I'm just in love but her beauty was indeed impeccable. We made eye contact through the mirror and smiled at each other, I got up to get ready myself to avoid her seeing me blush. I don't think either of us are %100 comfortable with each other just yet but I'm sure we're both certain on what we feel. Seeing how vulnerable I am when it comes to her says a lot as well.

Danny was already waiting for us outside when we arrived at the studio. "Hey. Stevie, right?" He asked me while offering his hand to shake. "Hey Danny." I nodded and smiled back, shaking his hand. "Well hello to you to best friend of 8 years." Ally suddenly said sounding slightly offended. After we chuckled for a bit Danny led us inside.

Ally's voice was so angelic, I could feel the pupils in my eyes grow larger by the minute as I watched and listened to her through the window. Her concentration was intimidating, her face was so serious and involved with the lyrics but when she glanced back at me, she smiled. The sudden change of expression on her face from scary-serious to that warm look she gave me relaxed my heart and I felt at ease even though I was already pretty relaxed to begin with.

After they were done with the first recording Danny went to take a call and I met up with Ally at the door. "You are a hell of a distraction, lady, you know that?" She said as she wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss. "You are super hot when you sing." I gave her another kiss. She smirked and just as she was about to give me another kiss, Danny walked in.

"Ally, I need to talk to you." Danny said as he was re-entering the room. "Sorry, I need to borrow your girlfriend for a second." He said, giving me a friendly but short smile. I looked at Ally and saw that she was confused, I thought nothing of it though and sat back on the leather couch that was on the other side of the room to give them some privacy.

He glanced at me with concerned but somewhat still-friendly eyes as he was talking to Ally. Whatever it was they were talking about, I hope it wasn't about me.

*Ally POV*

"Danny, I'm fine. I promise she's not 'just one of those girls'." I whispered harshly to him after Stevie left. He's been super concerned with my well-being since I've been sleeping around a lot.

"It's not that, Ally." Danny said looking behind me to where Stevie was sitting. "Sam's here." I cringed as he finished his sentence. "W-why is she here?" were the only words I could find myself to say. "I invited Tyler over to help out and he said he's bringing her, you should seriously leave, now." He told me demandingly. Tyler and Sam are still pretty close friends, we were all pretty close friends until after junior year of college. I nodded in agreement not knowing what else to do. My ears were ringing due to nervousness and I knew I wasn't capable of keeping myself together if I saw her. I looked back at Stevie. "Shit Danny, I'm sorry, I'll finish this up with you later." He nodded understandingly. I walked up to Stevie and tried my hardest to keep my composure.

"Babe, we're done for the night." I said giving her a very small and forceful smile while taking her hand. "Ally, are you okay? You're shaking." Shit. I blinked twice to get rid of the tears that were starting to form in my eyes. I couldn't bother taking a second to say I'm fine, I don't even know if I'm able to talk with this huge lump in my throat. I was already panicking so I just pulled on her arm harder and rushed out the building. "Ally, fucking stop." Stevie said, stopping both our tracks as we were just at the door. I couldn't bare to look at a face, let alone Stevie's face. I tried my hardest to avoid eye contact. "Ally, look at me." She said as she grabbed my cheeks and turned my head forcefully to face her. Instead of bursting into tears like I expected myself to, I instantly felt calm looking into her eyes. My mind blanked out the anxiety and impatience that seemed to overwhelm me before, it was obvious that Stevie and I were in a moment. Without a word, she leaned into me. Just as our lips were about to touch, the door opened and I jumped.

"Sam?!" Stevie said with a lit up face, letting go of me. "Stevie! Hey!" Sam said back, opening her arms for a hug. "What are you doing here?" She continued. Their conversation faded into a faint ringing in my ears. There were too many thoughts to think, there were too many feelings to feel anything specific. "Ally." Stevie said, getting my attention. I looked at Sam and she looked back at me, giving me a small smile. I smiled back shortly and turned back to my girlfriend. "Sorry, I blanked out. How do you two know each other?" I asked in the fakest tone, not taking my eyes off Stevie. "Actually, you can tell me at home. Let's go." I interrupted her just as she was about to speak. She looked back at Sam as I was pulling her to the car and held her hand tightly.

*Flashback*

"Do you even know what you're fucking doing to Ally?" Danny said, screaming at Sam over the phone. I put my hands on my head and pressed my arms to my ears to keep the loud yelling to a minimum. I felt like a hopeless child who was in a position I didn't ask to be in, but I did. I shouldn't of told him everything, he's only making it worse. He was in no place to explain me to her but I knew he was only trying to be a good friend because he damn well knew I wasn't going to confront her myself.

He looked at me and with a final breath, he said; "Congratu-fucking-lations, Sam. You lost the only person who actually genuinely cared about you, the only person who was there for you during that shit phase of yours during freshman year – if you can even fucking remember. The only person who has ever tolerated, understood, and never questioned your bullshit over the years.. and me." He hung up the phone and tossed it.

*End of Flashback*

She never lost me. If anything, I've grown to respect her more as a person, making the memories I had with her and the 'promises' harder to move on from.
But seeing her talking to Stevie.. I did not feel jealous, I did not feel sorrow, nor did any of the grief come back. I was simply protective.

"Please Ally, explain yourself to me." Stevie said as she was leaning her back on the car, refusing to go anywhere. I sighed. I didn't know what to say to her. I knew I had to tell her everything sooner or later but right now I'm speechless. Everything happened too fast, just like it always has. Stevie's concerned eyes gazed around my face and before I knew it, I was crying in her embrace. "My poor baby." She said and kissed my head. I tried to say something but I couldn't, I only ended up crying harder. After a couple more minutes of hugging she lifted my head up. "Let's go home." She said and led me to the passenger's seat.

If there was anything I wanted to tell Stevie right now, it would be how much I appreciated her patience with me. I've fallen more and more in love with her every second I'm around her. I love her so much.
