Authors Note: Ah okay so first of all this chapter is pretty short compared to the others. It's a filler chapter really to get the ball rolling. Second i'm not going to be updating as frequently until after the 18th. My boyfriend is moving down to Purdue on the 18th and I've been planing a lot of things to do with him until then. So that's been taking a lot of my time up. I've also been pretty sad about it and I've kinda taken it out on my writing. So I'm taking a little break so that i can clear my head and figure out everything i want to do with this story. Thirdly, i thank the one person who has reviewed. You never leave your name so i cant thank you by it. Fourthly i've finally included the contest winner from my name that tune contest a few months ago. And Finally i've having another contest, name the song and the artist of the two song in this story.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter Seven: Stellar Misery Business

One Year Later:

"Today we are here with our special guest, Jackie Burkhart, and she is going to perform her new song, Misery Business for us." The VJ said as Jackie smiled, "Take it away Jackie."

Jackie took the stage as the band began to play behind her and she played her guitar.

I'm in the business of misery,

Let's take it from the top.

She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock.

It's a matter of time before we all run out,

When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

I waited eight long months,

She finally set him free.

I told him I can't lie he was the only one for me.

Two weeks and we had caught on fire,

She's got it out for me,

But I wear the biggest smile.

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But, I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now.

But god does it feel so good,

Cause I got him where I want him now.

And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so...

It just feels so good.

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.

Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.

And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.

I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way.

Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.

Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,

They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right.

Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But, I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now.

But god does it feel so good,

Cause I got him where I want him right now.

And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so...

It just feels so good.

I watched his wildest dreams come true

Not one of them involving you

Just watch my wildest dreams come true

Not one of them involving.

Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But, I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now.

But god does it feel so good,

Cause I got him where I want him now.

And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so...

It just feels so good.

The crowd cheered as the VJ went to a commercial break. "Jackie that was great," Donna said as Jackie walked off the stage.

"Thanks," Jackie said as they sat on the couch, "Hey thanks for coming with me today."

"Hey what are best friends for." Donna said as Jackie smiled at her.

"So how are things?" Jackie asked as Donna looked at her.

"Well Eric is fine. Samantha is getting so big. You should come see her soon."

"I'm planning on it."

"And Hyde and Monica broke up."

"Really? I didn't even know he was dating anyone." Jackie said as she stood up and looked at the pictures on the wall.

"Sure you didn't. Jackie we all know why you wrote half the music you wrote."

"Fine so I knew he was dating her. And I didn't write the music about him. I wrote it from my heart."

"And that's exactly where he is for you…in your heart."

Jackie turned around and looked at Donna with a sad smile on her face. "But I'm not in his anymore."

"Jackie, you know you still are. Most of the stuff he writes is about you. Even when he hated you, it was still always about you."

"I know I just…why did he tell me to leave. Why didn't he let me stay?"

"He didn't want you to give up on your dream. He wanted you to make something of yourself."

"But I could have been something with him."

"I know that. But he didn't want that for you. To have to depend on him for the rest of your life. He wanted you to be strong and independent."

"And I love him for that."

"I know you do." Donna said as she wrapped her arms around Jackie.

"Thank you for coming out tonight. This is our last stop on the Stellar Club Tour 2008. It's been a great tour and we've had a lot of fun with it. In a few months we've leaving for another tour through the U.S. We'll be announcing tour dates soon so come out and cheer us on. Alright here's the last song of the night…our headlining song, Stellar."

Meet me in outer space
WE could spend the night
Watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place
Won't you come with me?
We could start again

How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew

Meet me in outer space
I will hold you close
If you're afraid of heights
I need you to see this place
It might be the only way
That I can show you how
It feels to be inside of you

How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew

you are stellar

"Thank you, you guys have been wonderful. Good night." Hyde said as they walked off the stage.

"Guys that was awesome. I think that was the best show on this tour." Nick said as they walked into the back room.

"Yeah that was a good group." Hyde said as he put his guitar back in the case.

"So do we know who we're touring with yet?" Travis asked.

Hyde and Eric looked at each other as Eric nodded to his brother. "Alright listen guys, Eric and I didn't want to tell you guys this for fear that we might lose it but we're not touring with anyone. Well we are but they're going to our opening acts."

"You mean we're headlining our own tour?" Nick asked.

"Yeah man we're going to have our own opening acts instead of being someone else's."

"But wasn't the tour before, you the everything we had tour, wasn't that our own headlining one?" Travis asked.

"Nope remember we toured with Taking Back Sunday." Hyde said.

"Oh yeah that's right."

"Okay so we're meeting at the record studio tomorrow morning to talk about everything." Eric said as they gathered their things.

"Okay see you guys then." Nick said as he and Travis walked out.

"So are you coming over tonight?" Eric asked as Hyde nodded.

"Is Donna still out with Jackie?"

"Yeah she went to Jackie's performance on TRL today."

"Oh I forgot about that."

"You ever think about her?"

"All the time." Hyde said as Eric stared at him.

"Do you regret it?"

Hyde looked at the picture in his guitar case. "Not for a second." He said before he closed it.

"Hey guys," Trey, the tour manager, said when the guys walked in the door.

"Hey Trey," Hyde said as he shook the man's hand then sat next to the other guys.

"Alright so as you know this tour is all you guys. It's so you guys that we're only booking one opening act."

"Really? Well who is it?" Eric asked as the door opened.

"Hey Trey sorry I'm late." Jackie said as she walked in and looked at the guys.

"It's Jackie actually." Trey said as Hyde stared at Jackie.

"Hey guys." She said as she sat next to Trey.

"Well I'll let you guys talk." Trey said as he stood up.

"We'll go with you." Eric, Travis and Nick said as they got up and followed Trey out.

Once everyone was gone Hyde got up and walked over to the window.

"Steven," Jackie said as she watched him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Trey asked me to come on a tour. He said I was going to be the only opening act, so I took it. I didn't know it was for you guys."

"He didn't tell you?"

"Nope, Steven I didn't plan this if that's what you think."

"No I know you didn't." Hyde said as he smiled at her.

"I've missed you."

Hyde looked at her and nodded at her confession. "How's life Jackie?"

"Great, I mean I've been number one on the charts a few times, and I've gotten some pretty good awards."

"Yeah I know all that but I mean how's your life…your personal life?" Hyde said as he walked over and sat on the table next to her.

Jackie looked down. "Pretty boring actually."

"I've heard. You're not much of a partier."

"Nope…I saw what parting did to people and I don't want that to happen to me." She said as she looked at him.

"You mean you don't want to turn into what I was."
"Steven I never,"

"No it's fine. I did have a problem and rehab helped. I'm better now. I don't drink anymore or do drugs. I've been clean for a year now and I'm going to stay that way."

"That's really good Steven." Jackie said as she smiled at him.

"You know I like your new song." Hyde said as he walked over to the door.

"Thanks."

"You make me sound good." Hyde said before he walked out.

"Pig." She said with a smile as she got up and followed him out.
