Sorry for the long update...things have been hectic. Family problems are over, so I'll try to get updates as soon as possible. With everything finally coming together, I'm glad...my head is spinning and I'm glad I had time to write, it felt good. So thanks for sticking around...hopefully you'll stick around for more updates. Bye :)


Andie's POV:

It's been a month and still no perfect guy...countless dates and countless jerks. Maybe I should talk to him again.

He probably doesn't want to talk to me. He probably thinks it's over. Like I do...

Stupid, stupid, stupid! Ugh!

I am about to go to my refrigerator when the doorbell rings. I go to the door and open it.

"So, what's the feeling today, regretful?"

I look up and see that it's Chase. I give him a little smile before opening the door wider for him to come in.

"How have you been?" I ask nervously.

"Probably better than you."

"Is today 'Make Andie Feel Like Crap' Day?"

"I don't know how you could even say that when you put me through that."

"You were the one that wasn't being honest."

"Gosh, you're so naive. Honesty is the key to a successful relationship? Grow up."

"You're really a jerk, Chase. I'm glad I spotted out now before we even got further in our relationship."

"Yeah, I'm such a jerk...blame it all on me."

"No one's blaming you, but you're the one always making me feel like we have a great relationship and then you spring something like that on me."

"What am I supposed to say to that?"

"I don't know. I don't know why you're in Los Angeles. Just..." I'm about to tell him to leave, but he cuts me off.

"I missed you, happy now? I wanted to see you...I wanted to keep an eye on your little dates and beat the heck out of the guys who hurt you."

"Why? I don't know why you would even come over here to watch over me like an angel. You could've moved on by now, but you didn't...I really don't understand."

"You're the most oblivious person I've ever met...how many times do I have to say it before you finally get it imprinted in your head? I love you. You're the only person I've ever loved so much that I can't be away from you and I'll never let you go no matter what. When you cry, I want to be there to make you laugh. When you're happy, the only thing you'll notice on me is my goofy grin. When you're mad, I want to make it all better for you. I want to spend the rest of this life with you and the next and next and next life together."

I feel like ...crying. Before I know it, tears are pouring out of my eyes...gosh, this is embarrassing!

"What did I do wrong now, Andie?"

"Nothing." I say as my voice quavers. "I...I just..."

"You just what?"

"I just want to tell you how much I..."

"Andie, just spit it out!"

"I wanted to tell you how much I..." Before I was about to tell him, the phone rings. He looks at me with an annoyed look. "Sorry, this will just take a minute."

"Hello?"

"Sophie?"

"Andie, we need you down at the studio now. We have a crisis."

"What? Right now...I'm busy though."

"Andie, you better come or you won't have a job."

"Ok, ok I'll come in the next 30 minutes."

"Make it 20 minutes."

"Bye Sophie."

"So you have to go?" Chase asks. I can tell he's mad that we didn't talk much.

"Chase, I'm sorry...this is just really important."

"Is everything more important than me?"

"What? Just because I have to go now doesn't mean you're not important."

"You know what...call me when you're not busy."

"What's your problem?"

"I think you know the answer."

"How am I the problem? You're the one who started all this chaos."

"Your stupid ego let it go on for this long."

"Ugh! Why is it always my fault we messed up?"

"I came here from London to see you and all you can do is get pissed at me."

"I'm going, just lock the door on your way out."

"So you're leaving again?"

"You know I'll just tell you what I wanted to say before I got the phone call. I wanted to say how much I missed you and that I love you still. Satisfied?"

"No."

"What now? You are starting to piss me off even more."

"So you are pissed?"

"What's your point?"

"I don't know. What's yours?"

"Why are we having this conversation?"

"You brought it up..."

"I'm leaving, remember to lock the door."

"Then I'm coming too."

"Why?!"

"I'm your boyfriend and that's what boyfriends do."

"Ok, Collins. Lets get all of this cleared up. One, we're not dating. Two, I have no idea why I'm still here. Three, what do they do?"

"Support their girlfriends."

"We're not dating."

"Who says?"

"I do."

"Well, I don't."

"No one asked for your input."

"No one asked for yours."

"Are we fighting?"

"Our first big fight...this is fun."

"We are NOT together."

"Like I said, who says?"

"I do."

"Well, your opinion doesn't count. You don't like me, so you'll always say no."

"So?"

"Lets go...you're going to be late, honey."

"Honey?"

"Yeah, we have cute pet names for each other."

"Again, we are not together."

"Denial is the first step to admitting something, remember?"

I let out an exasperated sigh and get out of my apartment.

"So what freeway should we take?"

"We?"

"Which street should we get out on? Hollywood Blvd?"

"WE ARE NOT TOGETHER."

"You're right..."

"What?"

"We're united!"

Ugh, this is gonna be a long 25 minute trip...


On the freeway...

"Thanks a lot, now I'm late."

"Honey, calm down. I'm sure the producers aren't firing anybody."

"Who says?"

"Oh, are we using reverse psychology now?"

"We?! There is no we, how many times do I have to repeat?"

"Someone's moody today..."

"I'm gonna bash your head against the steering wheel if you say honey or we again, got it?"

"Oh, look...we're here."

"Did you not just hear what I said?"

"I said we're, not we."

"Whatever...woah, look at the smoke coming up from a nearby place." We get out of the freeway and I pull my compact mirror out to do my make up when Chase nudges me. "What?"

"Uhh...honey, stay calm when I tell you this."

"Honey again? What now?!"

"The smoke is coming from your studio..."

"Huh?"

"Fire in the studio."

I look out of my window and see a fire taking over the place I've called my second home.

"Honey, are you okay?"

I shake my head and that's when everything started getting all blurry and dark.


So what did you think? :)

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed the chapter!
