Olivia's POV-

After we sent off the three songs, Stella and I had to go meet with these people who said they wanted us on the red carpet for a new movie premier. Our first ever red carpet walk. And it seems I've got the job as temporary assistant manager, and Stella leading until we get an actual manager, we are all Lemonade Mouth has.
So after a long night of discussion, we decided on Somebody first, Here We Go second, and Determinate as the semifinal song. And in the finals, we have Livin On A Highwire, which we still have to perfect with Scott who is never here. So we have a huge schedule ahead of us.

"Who are you texting?" Stella said nudging me.

"No one." I said keeping my eyes on the phone.

"Are you texting Wen?" I could tell now she's teasing me. But she's wrong.

"No I'm not actually." My eyes still on my phone as I felt heat rush to my face. She grabbed it out of my hand and scanned down the screen.

"Oh you're not, who's this Mike kid?"

"Just someone I met at Dominoes the other night."

She gasped at me. "Why I'm offended! How come didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know, didn't seem like big news."

"Not big news! You said it yourself, it's like we're in a movie or a story, and it's always big news when one of the protagonist gets a love interest."

"Yeah, but it's not like I like him or anything-"

"Well you could've fooled me, you're texting him every five seconds, never keeping your eyes off the screen like he's actually there." She said smirking. My face was burning now and butterflies were fighting in my stomach.

"Yeah well."

"Yeah well," She said mocking me. "How are you planning on telling Wen?"

"Why do I have to tell him anything?"

"Because, it's the rules, rules of dating, if you have two love interests you have to tell the other one, the first one you had, that you have another. It will come out some way, it could be just telling him. It can come in a fit of rage at your first, who knows, but it comes out somehow."

"Sure Stella." I said trying to cover up what she just said. She was right though, it always happens, somehow, just got to keep it under control, and make a decision. I'll tell him when we get back.

"So what does Mike do?"

"Huh? Oh, he plays guitar."

"Oh yeah, that's good maybe when can get him to replace Scott when he leaves."

"Yeah," I chuckled. "I doubt that can happen."

"Why not?"

"Well, he plays in Lime Cart?"

She turned around and stared at me. "Lime Cart, the same Lime Cart we are competing against?"

"That would be it."

"Wow, not so on board anymore, how could you do this?"

"Look, it's fine; I have it under control ok Stella? Don't worry." I did have it under control right?

Mo's POV-

"See that's your problem." Charlie said. We were at the hotel eating our breakfast while Charlie was trying to pump me up to go talk to Scott. "You never do anything on impulse, something just because you want to know what it's like. Take a chance for once. I promise you won't regret it. And it will be fun, you'll enjoy it, but you can't do anything if you're stuck in this room." I stood up to his comment.

"You're right, I'll be right back." I felt bad just leaving him hanging but he smiled as I walked off. I went and knocked on the boy's room door. Wen opened it up.

"Hey."

"Is Scott there?"

"Yeah, one sec, I'll leave you guys alone." He called Scott and walked out the room. Scott came and looked disappointed to see me.

"We need to talk."

"I know." He waved me in and I closed the door and sat on one of the beds. "So, where are we supposed to be going?"

"Scott, you're going off to shoot a movie, in a country across the world. And it doesn't seem we can stay on the same page when you're in the same country. I think it's time to end it, maybe, maybe we just need a break from each other for a while."

"Nine months long enough?"

"I guess so, but I hope this doesn't affect our friendship, or the band-"

"No, of course not, I've caused enough damage to the band, I won't cause anymore, friends?" He stuck his hands out. My stomach was in knots, did I want this? This was probably the last chance for us. There's two ways I can go with this. We shake hands it's over, or I could react on impulse and keep it alive.

"Friends." I shook his hands and my heart ripped apart, that was it.

As I left the room and went back to mine Charlie was still sitting in the same chair taking a bite out of his Egg McMuffin.

"So?" He said with food in his mouth. All I could do was let the tears fall down my face and reach out for a hug. He swallowed his food quickly and got up and gave me a warm embrace. Right now, I'm thanking my lucky stars I have Charlie.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Wen's POV-

I was sitting on a table outside a nice little restaurant waiting for Olivia because she said she had something to talk to me about.

"Hi." She said walking up slowly.

"What's up?" I asked her.

"Listen Wen, I've got some news."

"Ok."

"Um, well I met this guy, and um, we've been talking for a while, we aren't like together or anything, but, we're talking, a lot and, yeah," I felt my jealousy rising but I had to keep it cool, keep my top from blowing. "And I thought you might want to know so you wouldn't have to find out another way."

I paused for a while.

"Well, alright." I said trying to smile.

She looked a little disappointed. "Wait, that's it? 'Well, alright' is all you got from this?"

I blinked at her confused. "What do you want my reaction to be?"

"Well, I don't know, I just expected it different from, 'Well, alright' I mean, I went on that kind of nerve-racking speech for that?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"Just add some emotion to your response or something, come on it's like you don't even care!"

"Well of course I care-"

"Then show it!"

"Alright, I'm angry ok! I'm jealous but I don't want to show it because it might hurt you! That enough emotion Olivia?"

"Well I don't know Wen, I never know with you because you're so oblivious to every little thing that goes on around you!"

"What does that mean?"

"See, you're such an idiot you don't even get that I like you! Since this whole thing started I've had the biggest crush on you but you would never get that would you because you're so oblivious to everything around you!"

"Well, that's-"

"No, you don't even deserve to say anything you want to know why? I gave you every single clue you needed to know, I gave you so many I can't even count, and I told you before, what do you think 'I did it for you' means Wen? It means I did it to make you happy! I didn't care about everyone else, I didn't care about the revolution, I cared about you!"

She walked off angry with tears in her eyes because of me. I felt like the biggest idiot on the planet right now. I should've known, I should've done something, but I didn't. Now I have one goal, make this right.


Wow. Ok, you guys have no idea how many rewrites that scene went through before you got this right here. So yeah, there we go guys. Hope you enjoyed. See you next chapter people.
