Chapter 4
The next day Avery woke up form a night with little sleep. Now that he knows that he wants to be with Juliette he spent the whole night trying to figure out how he was going to tell her. But first he needs to figure out how he's going to break the news to Scarlett. That was not going to be an easy job. After making his morning coffee he made a call to Scarlett.
"Hey Avery."
"Hey, how was your day yesterday?"
"Busy, I didn't get home till 1 tonight, and I need to be back at the studio in two hours"
"Yeah, I'm also going to the studio today."
"Really? Why that?"
"Juliette asked me to record a song with her, something we wrote together."
"That's great."
"Thank you. But Scarlett I actually called for a reason."
"Yeah?"
"Are you still coming over tonight?"
"Yes, I don't know what time, but I hope I will be there around 8."
"Okay, we need to talk about something tonight"
"What about?"
"Uhm.. I just want to talk about our relationship."
"Okay."
"I will see you tonight then?"
"Yes."
"Okay, but I need to go now, I'm meeting Juliette at her studio in half an hour"
"Then you should go, until tonight."
"Bye Scarlett"
"Bye."
Okay, that was step one Avery thought, now was he going to tell Juliette today or after he broke things off with Scarlett? The best thing he could do was wait. He was not the kind of guy who begins dating a girl when he is still with another girl.
After he grabbed his guitar he drove to the studio.
Meanwhile Juliette was nervous, she was going to spend the whole day with Avery, and he had the whole night to think about what she said yesterday. Normally she didn't spend a lot of time on picking out her clothes, but today she spend a lot of time picking out something nice. She drank her morning coffee grabbed her guitar, and went to her studio.
Glenn was already there.
"Hey Juliette, how are you today?"
"Fine. Just so you know, Avery is coming today and he's going to record a song with me that a want on the album."
"Why didn't you talk with me about that?"
"We talked about it yesterday and also Glenn, it is my album, I don't need to talk with you about such a thing. It is my decision."
"We'll see."
"No, it is going to happen no matter what."
"Fine, fine. Look there is Avery."
"Morning Glenn, hey Juliette."
"Hey Avery!" Juliette said with a big smile. "Are you ready for today."
"Off course."
They spend a few hours recording the song. Juliette couldn't remember the last time she had such a good time in the studio. Even Glenn saw that there was a good vibe in the studio. It surprised him. He saw that there was something different between them but he couldn't really tell what it was. Juliette seems happy but also a little bit nervous in a way and he never really saw that before. And he saw the Avery was always looking at her even when she was with her back to him, he was always looking. There was really something different between them. It was almost as if something changed between them. And then something happened that he never expected.
"Hey Avery, would you like to come over tonight and have dinner, I'll cook." Juliette asked.
"I'd love that, I really would. But Scarlett is coming over tonight."
And that was when Glenn saw it, there was disappointment in Juliettes eyes. And he was not the only one who saw it.
"I'm really sorry Juliette, but what about tomorrow, and you don't need to cook. I know it's something you don't like doing."
"Well, if you're not too busy with Scarlett." Juliette said sarcastic.
"No, I promise. Tomorrow I'm all yours, really." He said that with a small smile, hoping she got the deeper meaning of that.
"Well if you say so, fine. But I will cook." She didn't get it, he saw it in her eyes.
"Okay then, are you sure I don't need to help you cook?"
"Come on I can cook."
"If you say so"
"No really, I can cook."
"I believe you, but promise me something."
"What?"
"When the house starts burning down, go outside." He said with a hint of a smile but also a little bit serious not really trusting her cooking skills.
"Haha, very funny. But fine if it makes you feel better. I will go outside and call you when the house is burning down, which it won't!"
Glenn watched the conversation happening, and it really surprised him. Juliette went from being nervous, to disappointed and happy in a few minutes. And Avery he looked a little bit nervous, especially when he talked about Scarlett. But he also seems happy. Glenn really doesn't know what is happening here. He decided not to ask Juliette what was happening, he wouldn't get an answer anyways.
The worked some more on a few songs, and around six Avery went home.
"So that went well today Juliette" Glenn said.
"Yeah, it was a good day, we really have some good songs."
"I noticed."
"I'm going to work a little bit on a song now, so if you want you can go home Glenn."
"Okay, I will see you tomorrow."
"You know what, take the rest of the week of Glenn."
"Are you serious Juliette? This doesn't sound like you"
"No I mean it, I think I'm going to be inside all week to work a some songs and next week I'll see what I have and record some off it."
"Okay then. I will see you next week. Oh and Juliette?"
"Yeah?"
"I hope you know what you are doing." Glenn said a cryptic.
"Trust me when I say this is one of the first times I really know what I'm doing Glenn."
Glenn didn't really know if she meant the songs or Avery, but he took her word for it.
"Bye"
"Bye Glenn I will see you next week."
A little after eight Scarlett rang the doorbell at Averys apartment.
"Hey Scarlett, come on in."
" Thanks."
"How was your day in the studio?"
"Good, how was your day?"
"Really good, it's going to be a nice song."
"You said you wanted to talk about something."
"Yeah I do, come on we should sit down, do you want something to drink?"
"Water would be fine." Scarlett noticed Avery was nervous.
After grabbing the water Avery and Scarlett sat down on the couch.
"So what I want to talk about, well I want to talk about uhm.. I think we should talk about our relationship." Avery said nervously.
"Fine, what do you want to talk about."
Suddenly Avery knew what he wanted to say.
"Scarlett listen, I know this is not going to be nice to hear. But the last few days I was asking myself why I am with you. And I'm really sorry to say this, but I think I'm not really in love with you. Don't get me wrong I really like you, but I like you more as a friend."
"Wow, really, I, I don't really know what to say right now."
"I need to say something else."
"Okay"
"When Juliette came the other night, she was trying to say that she liked me. She loves me, and I think that I love her too. But I promise you nothing happened between us."
"I believe you, but wow I can't really say that I'm mad at you."
"No?"
"No, I realised something to the last few days. When is saw Gunner with Zoe, I think the reason why I was so mad at him and Zoe is more because I still like him."
"Really, that is great. Well not great, it's well… you know what I mean"
"I get it, I really want to still be friends with you, I like spending time with you. It's just we don't work as a couple."
"I know, I think after a few weeks it would be the fighting all over again. I'm just really happy you're taking this so well."
"Thanks."
"Do you want to stay for dinner?"
"Actually no, I had 2 long days and I really need some sleep if you don't mind."
"No off course not. I really thought this was going to be hard, but this was the best way to I don't know break up?"
"Yeah, I know what you mean."
"Thank you Scarlett."
"Oh and Avery, talk to Juliette, I think she really likes you and you shouldn't keep her waiting."
"You think?"
"Yes"
"I will"
"Bye, Avery. And good luck with Juliette!"
"Thank you, and hopefully it's going to be alright between you and Gunner and Zoe, because Scarlett she has been your friend your whole life, don't throw that away."
"I'll work on it."
"Bye Scarlett."
"Bye."
As Scarlett walked out of the door Avery was thinking about what he should do now, should he go to Juliette or wait till tomorrow.
