Rebecca’s POV

I sat in the chair and breathed out. I guess you could say I was stressed and you couldn’t really blame me. I came on this tour to spend time with my boyfriend who I truly loved…and instead I was faced with a bastard who ruined my teenage life. He made my own friends stop talking to me, and for what I don’t know why. I was in love with that boy and I thought he liked me back. I sigh shaking my head before lifting the lid on the instrument in front of me. I stroke up the keys of the piano, taking a deep breath before I began playing the first notes. I opened my mouth and let the lyrics escape…

Come on skinny love just last the year,
Pour a little salt you were never here,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer.

Tell my love to wreck it all,
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Right in the moment this order's tall.

I take a deep breath as the tears began to well in my eyes before opening my mouth again.

And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And in the morning I'll be with you,
But it will be a different kind,
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets,
And you'll be owning all the fines.

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split.

And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And now all your love is wasted,
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches,
And at the end of all your lies.

I continue to play, the tears spilling from my eyes, belting out the lyrics with my heart.

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?

Come on skinny love,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my.

I finish playing the last note, letting my hand rest on the piano, my breathing beginning to slow as the tears slowly and silently drip down my face.

“That was…wow.” Comes the voice from behind. I wipe my eyes and whip round coming face to face
with Jack. He looks at me sadly with his hands in his pockets and tears in his eyes.

“Jack…what are you doing here? Aren’t you meant to be at an interview?” I ask wiping away the last of the tears.

“It finished, I told Alex I would come back and get you, but when you wasn’t on the bus I started to look round the venue, didn’t think I’d find you in the practise room.” He mutters before coming and sitting on the piano seat next to me, wrapping an arm round my shoulder.

“I-err” I begin before being cut off.

“Don’t worry, you don’t need to explain everything, I already know. Josh told me, he was worried about you and knew he couldn’t go to Alex.” He explains shushing me.

“I just don’t know what to do, I-he ruined my life, stopped my own friends from talking the moment I needed them the most, I even loved him and he knew that.” I mutter wiping my eyes again.

“You don’t still love him do you?” he questions looking at me.

“No-no trust me, I love Alex with all my heart, I owe that boy my life, no one will ever come between me and him…its just-”

“Seeing Max again brings everything back.” Jack finishes for me. I give a brief nod before pulling myself together.

“Yeah.” I mutter looking at the piano.

“Do you hate him?” questions Jack.

“Who?” I question even though I know.

“Max.” he asks.

“I don’t know to be honest, I want to hate him but I can’t” I reply honestly.

“Whys that?” Jack asks.

“He was my best friend, that means something.” I mumble.

“Yeah, I understand.” Mutters Jack, leaving us in silence before he starts up again.

“How come I never knew you played the piano and sang.” He questions.

“No one does, when I moved here I stopped with my music, I even play the guitar.” I explain causing Jack to be even more surprised.

“Well you are fucking amazing and I don’t know why you stopped but I don’t want you to ever stop playing music again okay? You sounded like an angel.” He replies giving me a strong hug and a kiss

on the head.

“Okay.” I agree, smiling a bit.

“Now how about we go find your Alex, I expect he’s looking for you.” He proposes. I nod standing up and beginning to follow Jack out when I stop him.

“Errm Jack…don’t mention any of what just happened to Alex.” I mumble.

“I won’t…but you need to one day, you can’t keep secrets Becz.” He replies.

I nod back knowing he’s right, nothing can stay secret forever.

Max’s POV

I sat in silence outside the room as the tears poured down my face. I made her feel like that, the girl I love; I made her feel like absolute shit and for no reason what so ever. I was a piece of shit and I knew it. I took away all her friends and why? Because I loved her and didn’t want to admit it, even though she loved me! I heard every word she sang and every word of her conversation with Jack. When she sang she sounded like an angel, yet when she spoke her voice was cracked and filled with emotion. I made her feel like that. I wanted her, I loved her! But I knew I had no chance now, she was with Gaskarth and was happy. However…I gotta make it up to her.
