II // The Album Begins

I sit on our bed, my fingers tracing a circle on its white sheets. I was dressed in a purple champions jersey and my black jeans and white vans. My hair sat on my shoulders wavy and I had natural makeup apart from my red lips. 

"Dani," I mumble. He paces back and forth, his hands in ripped blue jean pockets. His camo shirt was hanging passed his belt. 

"I don't understand why you didn't tell me, Arthur isn't your problem to deal with, it is ours," he explains. His pacing stops in front of me. 

"See I don't think he is a problem anymore," I state. 

"Why didn't you say you went back for his graduation?" He asked. I look down to my fingers. I wanted to tell him everything but Dani didn't really need to know everything. 

"Well, I promised him last year. Cole and A are some of my oldest friends, I can't just forget about them," I tell half of the truth, I promised Arthur not to tell anyone about the second reason. 

"I know, it's the same with Angi," 

"Exactly so I am not gonna cuddle up to them, they are just friends,"

"You gonna tell me everything from now on?"

"Dani I would never lie to you unless its a secret I have been forbidden to say," I explain, that time it was the truth. He should understand the point of promises, the point of keeping one. 

"Noah," He sits down beside me and grabs my hand, holding it in his. "I trust you."

"You should because I trust you," I explain. He smiles and kisses me on the cheek. He pulls me by my hand towards the door.

We enter the studio, the red walls catching my eye instantly. Zach falls onto the couch, his feet resting on the coffee table in front of him. Jack rolls his eyes and walks to the empty seat beside him, pushing through Zach's legs in the process. I smile. 

"So boys, trust fund baby first??" A guy asked, seated in a spinning chair beside the soundboard. Daniel's hand was still rested in mine. 

"Yeah, so this is one of our first times in an actual studio," Jonah states. Jonah folded his arms as he leaned on the wall behind the couch. 

"Don't worry, should we start with Daniel and go through to cover the song," The guy says. The boys all nod, nearly in unsin. "My name is Kane by the way."

"Well Kane, it's a pleasure to meet you," Jack says. Daniel lets go of my hand and walks to Kane. Kane stands up and opens the door to the booth. He passes Daniel the sheet music and tells him the headphones are already there. 

Daniel turns to me, "Do your magic baby," I say. He winks before entering the booth. Kane shuts the door and slides back into his seat. Kelsey sits on Corbyns lap, sideways. Corbyn's hands rest on her legs. 

"Okay Daniel, can you hear me?" Kane says. I walk over to Jonah standing behind the couch and stand beside him. 

"Yeah," Daniel says. I smile as I see Daniel moves the mic to his height. 

"Wanna get something from the vending machine?" Jonah whispers. I turn to him and nod my head. I knew Daniel was going to be in the booth for awhile, today was going to be a long. Jonah walks ahead of me and out the door, I follow closely behind him. 

Jonah turns to me, "This is crazy, we are recording our song written by Ed Sheeran." He turns the corner and pulls out $3 dollars from his pocket. 

"You guys are going to be huge," I explain. He nods his head and stops at the vending machine. He presses 2 for Reese's Cups and places his money in the machine. "Jonah, can I ask you something?"

He bends down and grabs his Reese's Cup and then pops back up. He looks to me, unwrapping his cup at the same time. "Yeah of course."

"Do you think I could be a youtuber forever?" I asked. He passes me a cup and then places his one in his mouth. 

"Probably not forever, why?" He says after swallowing his first bite. I play with my Reese's cup. Circing my finger on the edges. My head down looking at it. 

"I think it's time to change my occupation, I can't gain money from youtuber until I am 30. I need a new career," I explain. His hand comes under my chin and he lifts my head up. 

"Why are you worrying about the future? If you wanna change career then go ahead but Noah your Noah Faith Lakeheart," He stops his sentence and finishes his Reese's Cup, "Youtube is your life," He says recreating the vine 'Chipotle is my life' 

I laugh, "Fine I will stay on youtube if you stop your impressions," I state. He laughs and places his hand out. I shake his hand firmly. 

"Now eat your Reese's Cup," He explains. I look down at my Reese's cup and then I place it in my mouth. I chew down on the peanut butter treat. 

I flick my head up and swallow. Jonah no longer stood in front of me. I look around, turning in a circle. No Jonah. "Hello?" Shit, I had no idea what studio they were in. 

I shut my eyes and try to remember the turns we took. I open my eyes and beginning walk straight until a left and right turn sat beside me. I sigh and go right, my eyes looking at each door. I place my hands in my back jean pockets, my phone in my right one. I pull it out and keep my eyes locked onto it. I press the home button and nothing turns up, great my phones dead. 

I stop walking and place my hand on a closed door, I breathe in. I turn my whole body and rest my back on the door. I look down the hallway, why in hell was a studio more like a maze than it was a studio. 

The door I was leaning on opens up suddenly making me fall down onto my back on the cold carpet. I squint my eyes from the pain. "You okay??" Someone mumbles. I open my eyes and see Charlie Puth leaning over me. I widen my eyes before jumping to my feet. 

"Yeah, sorry for interrupting," I explain. My words coming out fast due to the nerves rushing through my system. 

Charlie laughs, "Well I interrupted you really. You okay?" 

I place my hands in my back pockets again. "Yeah just got a little lost."

"Who you looking for?" He asked. He was a little taller than me. He smiled waiting for an answer. 

"Uh, Why Don't We," I explain. He nods and turns around to his studio. 

"Dave, where is Why Don't We?" He asked. Dave pops his head in the doorframe. 

"247," He smiles before rolling away on his spinning chair. Charlie flicks his head to me. 

"I'll walk you there, I was going to the vending machine," He states. I smile. Charlie exits the studio and stands beside me. He begins walking and I walk slowly behind him. 

"What's your name?" He asked. He stops before the turn towards the vending machine. I pull my hands from my pocket. 

"Noah Lakeheart," I say. He holds his hand out. I shake his hand. 

"Well Noah, just take that left and three doors down, it's a pleasure to meet you," He says. I smile and nod my head. I walk past him and turn left. Well getting lost isn't that bad if you run into Charlie Puth. I should get lost more often if I knew I was going to run into celebrities.
