It's feeling like a permanent December, so much colder than I can remember – miley cyrus

Chapter 1

3 years later

You continued college in New York. You graduated.

You found your success on your own. It took a while. Along the way you felt lost, empty, depressed, but you found it and you have it. It's all about keeping yourself busy, so that your mind doesn't settle on the fact that you're still alone. Everytime you have nothing to do; it scares you. It scares you because then you have time to think about your life and you don't like that. At all.

You're a songwriter for major record labels. You love it. More than anything. You just wish you were the one who was out on the stage singing them.

You grab your bag from the overhead compartment and walk off the plane into the airport.

As soon as you hit the LA weather you feel relieved in a way. Moving your bag on your shoulder so it's in a more comfortable position you look around.

"Michie! Over here!" you turn around to a brown curly haired boy. "Nate! Hey." You say as you approach him, handing him your computer bag. "You're late." He says taking it from you.

"I know my flight was delayed in New York, the snow is heavy. I tried calling you, no answer, ass." You say helping him put your stuff in the back of his car.

"Okay well we have a new artist in the studio. She needs songs. She is taking up a lot of studio time and we need this next record out as soon as possible." Says a worried, irritated Nate.

"Okay, first, chill. Second, I have a demo of songs she can listen to if she's lost. There are songs that are relatable to teens on this demo" you say taking out the demo. "This should work, we can get her into your office and have her listen to some songs and see if she likes any and if she does then 'boom' in the studio recording them." You say.

"In the studio tomorrow at noon. You need to be there. And on time, Mitchie."

"Oh my god, Nate you act like I'm never on time."

"Well..just be on time, that's all I ask."

"I'll be there." Turning you face him while he concentrates on the road, "How are you doing Nate? I mean with not talking to Shane. How are you doing?" you ask.

He looks over for a second confused, "fine? Better than you are without him."

"Woah, I am completely fine! Thank you very much." You saying, trying to figure out if you were trying to convince him or yourself more.

"In all honesty, you are the farthest from okay, Mitch. You hide yourself in work and I think everyone who knows you knows that, including yourself."

"I do not hide in my work!"

"Ha. That's funny. When was the last time you hung out with Caitlyn, or me without it being work related? When was the last time we went out for drinks and just let go?"

You remain silent.

"That's what I thought." He says. "You need to move on, Mitch. As much as I hate to say it, you need to. He's married now. You can't mess with that."

You know he's right. It's just really hard for you. Really hard for you.

So that was the first chapter. Tell me what you think! Review Review Review!
