"So how are things with you and Ted?" John asked as we walked through the hotel lobby towards my SUV to drive to the recording studio. Eyeing him, he knew exactly what had happened. "Oh, so what about you and Randy?"
"What about us?"
"Are you together now?"
"No, I'm not ready for a relationship yet. I want to focus on my album and then a tour promoting it. I don't want to be so invested in something that will probably end up like the last one if I just jump into it." He nodded opening my door for me before climbing into the passenger seat. "Are you sure you want to go with me? I'll probably be pulling an all nighter."
"I can call Randy or someone to pick me up if I have to." I nodded in response before turning on the car and pulling away from the hotel. "You want breakfast, my treat."
"No I'm fine, thanks though. Do you want something? I can go through a drive thru. "
"Please and thank you."
Pulling into the recording studio he stuffed down the rest of his Egg McMuffin before taking a drink of his rather large orange juice. I chuckled turning off the car, his cheeks were full of food and he was having difficulty swallowing. "You don't have to scarf it down you know, I can wait."
"Nope, let's go!" he said swallowing the food.
Walking into the studio I took a deep breath, inhaling the smell of leather and a mixture of other things. Tony sat on the long leather couch reading Rolling Stones as he waited for us to arrive. "Johnny boy! It's good to see you," he exclaimed giving John a manly hug. I rolled my eyes and walked into the booth waiting on their love session to be over.
"Can we get started?" I shouted, though I knew that they wouldn't hear me. "Can we get started?" I repeated, opening the door. Tony agreed and turned on the mic before starting the music.
"It'd be easier if there was someone else, I might understand if we had had a fight. And we lying here, but you're somewhere else. I don't want to see what you don't feel. So just turn out the light. I know you're trying but you heart ain't gonna fake it; a faded love there's no way I can take it. So exposed, might as well be naked. But baby I've been prayin'…" Tony cut it and I looked up at him, a smile playing on his and John's lips.
"That was great Sara! That was the only part we had to do for that song, we should work on the new one that you just got done with." Nodding I pulled out the lyrics that I had just worked on for my newest song. "Ready?" I nodded and waited for the music to begin playing.
"You told me there's no, to talk it out 'cause it's too late to proceed & slowly I took your words and walked away. No looking back, I won't regret no I will find my way. I'm broken, but still I have to say… IT'S ALRIGHT ITS OKAY! IM SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU. I WONT BE SORRY. ALRIGHT OKAY SO DON'T YOU BOTHER WHAT I DO, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY I WONT RETURN OUR BRIDGE HAS BURNED DOWN. ALRIGHT OKAY, IM SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU. I won't be sorry…
You played me, betrayed me, your love was nothing but a game. Portrayed a role, you took control. I… I couldn't help but fall, so deep… IT'S ALRIGHT ITS OKAY! IM SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU. I WONT BE SORRY. ALRIGHT OKAY SO DON'T YOU BOTHER WHAT I DO, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY I WONT RETURN OUR BRIDGE HAS BURNED DOWN. ALRIGHT OKAY, IM SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU. I won't be sorry…
Don't waste you fake shed tears on me, just save them for someone in need. It's way too late, I'm closin' the door! IT'S ALRIGHT ITS OKAY! IM SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU. I WONT BE SORRY. ALRIGHT OKAY SO DON'T YOU BOTHER WHAT I DO, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY I WONT RETURN OUR BRIDGE HAS BURNED DOWN. ALRIGHT OKAY, IM SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU.
I won't be sorry…
It's alright okay, alright okay, without you.
No matter what you say, it's alright okay, alright okay, without you.
I won't be sorry."
I took deep breath finishing the song and stepping out of the booth. John was in shock, but a smile broke out on his face once he saw me. I sat next to him, waiting for Tony's response. "Well?" I asked.
"That was awesome! Honestly I think that we should just keep it like that, kind of like a raw version. You know?"
"That would be awesome! It should be an extra on the CD," John added, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "You alright kid?" he whispered, noticing that I wasn't joining in on their discussion. Nodding and smiling I grabbed a bottle of water before chugging it. "Well I think I'm going to go, I kind of want to go to the gym."
"You have fun with that," I responded sitting back down. "I'm not taking you."
"I'll call Randy."
XOXO
"Sara!" I turned to see Eve walking down the hallway towards me, I smiled and hugged her as we continued down the hallway towards the elevator. "What are you doing today?"
"Heading home, I have to add finishing touches on the album, and then start preparations for tour…"
"What? You can leave yet!" she exclaimed stopping in the middle of the hallway. "Why are you leaving so soon?"
"Because I have to start getting ready for my fall tour." A pout formed on her lips as we entered the elevator. "I'll visit I promise, and I'll send you passes and tickets."
"Yes! That's just what I wanted!" Laughing I stepped off the elevator, running into the person who had been trying my best to avoid. "Hey Teddy," Eve smiled trying to ease the tension.
"Hey Eve," he responded coldly.
"Where are you headed?"
"I'm going upstairs to grab my stuff before the show."
"Oh, okay, I'll see you around then?" He nodded before walking into the elevator. "You two can't just avoid one another…"
"Yes we can, and I will."
"Whatever Sar." I smirked before walking into the hotel restaurant. I saw John, Randy, Zach, and Morrison sitting at a table together. Eve and I headed towards the table, sitting next to the guys. Eve sat in between Zach and JoMo while I sat in between the other two. "Hey boys, how's your morning going?"
"Great, how about yours Miss Evelyn?" Zach asked.
"Good."
"So Andy, what are you up to today?" John questioned taking a bite of his omelet.
"I have to do finishing touches on the album, then heading home to work on tour arrangements."
"Tour arrangements?" JoMo asked.
"Yeah, I'm going on a tour this fall to promote my new album."
"That's awesome Sara! I can't wait, we're invited right?" Zach questioned. I nodded earning a smile from all of them.
"If you all will excuse me, I have to get to the studio before I head to the airport," I said sadly. I gave each of them a hug, stopping at Randy last.
"Do you need a ride to the airport?" he whispered in my ear as I leant down.
"Yeah, that would be great!" He smiled and bid everyone farewell before we left.
Think something is gonna happen on the way to the studio/airport? R&R
