Nate's POV

Well you better start chasing me.

Those words ringed through my head the whole day. What did she mean by that? Was that a good thing? Was she serious? The thought was set aside quickly when I saw Carly walk in smiling brightly but her eyes read anger. She had a huge gift bag in her hands and she flung it around me when she attacked me with a hug.

"Mmm, I miss you so much." She said, giving my cheek a kiss.

I smiled weakly when she pulled away, trying to stop the urge to wipe my cheek from her rotten lips.

"So, you didn't bring Lindsay?" She asked, looking around.

I shrugged. "Eh, she's coming later. Why?"

She squinted her eyes for a moment and looked at me. "Oh, you know. I think it would be weird if she was here you know, since she knows I'm your girlfriend and she likes you almost as much as me."

I smirked and played along. "Oh, she likes me that much?"

She laughed weakly. "Oh, you know what I mean."

"Not really." I said, walking over to one of the guys at the studio, actually, Lindsay's crazy assistant who works with her dad.

"Hey Mike, when are we going to wrap this up?"

Mike tapped his pen on the desk and thought a bit, after awhile he shrugged.

"I don't know, we seem to have lost the CD. I think you might need to record the song again."

My eyes widened. "You seemed to have lost it? Dude! We've been working on that stupid song for weeks, and you're telling me we have to do it again?"

Mike threw his hands up in defense. "Hey, I don't know where it went Nate. It seemed to have disappear. I swear we like had it last week."

I looked at Carly and she was twirling her hair playing innocent. I marched right up over to her.

"What did you do with it?" I asked firmly.

She batted her eyes as she looked up at me.

"What are you talking about?"

I rolled my eyes. "I know you took it. Would you rather edit with me today or never ever see me again because I swear, I am not recording that song all over again... at least, not with you."

She stared at me and her smile quickly faded. She turned around and looked at the floor and I instantly felt bad. I mean, I knew I shouldn't have been that mean but I just really wanted Lindsay and only Lindsay. The fact that Carly was in the way sort of irritated me. I sighed and put a hand on her shoulder gently and I heard her sniff.

"Hey." I said softly. "I didn't mean to sound so mean... it's just that, we worked so hard on that song and I really don't want it to be lost. I mean, you and I both probably have better things to do then record this everyday."

She sniffled and looked at me. "I know. I am really sorry, I don't know why I'm acting like this. I mean, I guess I just really enjoy singing with you, it's so powerful, don't you ever feel it?"

I didn't really feel anything but I couldn't admit that, so I just nodded. She smiled and got up.

"I got you something." She said, pulling out the big bag.

"You shouldn't have." I said, smiling weakly.

"Oh, but I did." She said, pulling out a huge banner.

I studied the banner and had to admit, I was slightly impressed. It had my name written in the middle in gold and the out lines traced in gold as well. The background color was black ad\nd it had little pics of guitars on it. I smiled as I felt the silky fabric.

"Where did you get this?" I asked, holding it.

"I made it." She said shyly.

"Well, I'm impressed."

She smiled and then Mike walked back in, holding a template in his hand.

"I found the CD. You two are in luck." He said.

I looked at Carly who smiled widely and gave me a hug. I awkwardly hugged her back... feeling a bit weird. I knew it was just hugging but sometimes she could take it the wrong... oh boy. She is kissing me... and Lindsay just walked in.
