Author's Note: Mama's home early so here is my update. I hope everyone likes this chapter. I am so proud of my readers. You got me to 25 and reviews and you actually got me more than I asked for. And Clovelyshannonigans, thanks for being the person who reviewed every chapter in my story and actually was the person who got me to 25 reviews. You made me laugh and smile. I just want to quickly answer Clatoforeverinmyheart's question.
Clatoforeverinmyheart: Obviously, you had to of had some inspiration to begin writing what or who was is it and when did it strike you?
My response: My inspiration for starting writing on fanfiction was when I discovered fanfiction and I started reading other peoples' fanfics. This specific story was inspired by an actually love triangle I witnessed. One of my friends likes I girl who likes a different person and that other person likes the girl back. In this story, Marvel and Cato are my friends that like the same girl and Clove is the girl they like. This story in almost their exact story.
So I'm home and here is your new update.

Chapter 9 - Confession That Could Change Lives
Clove POV
I was asked to preform to possibly get a contract. All I had to do is go to a recording studio and record a song for a demo. I saw Desiree in a recording booth. I listened to her. She was singing Catch Me If You Can by Jacqueline Emerson. (A/N I am aware the girl who plays Foxface in Jacqueline Emerson. It is a really good song though. I recommend listening to it.) I smiled as she closed the song and came out of the booth. She saw me and hugged me.
"Are you here to record a demo too?" she asked.
I nodded and I guy put his arm on my shoulder.
"Ready?" he asked.
I nodded. I went into the booth and decided to sing She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5. I grabbed my guitar out of the case and started the song.
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want, yeah.
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Yeah
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh.
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Yeah, yeah.
[softly:]
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
I finished the song. I put my guitar in the case. I stepped out of the booth. I was dismissed to go home. I decided to talk to Desiree before I left.
"Hey Desiree."
"Hey Clove. I know we haven't known each other very long but I feel like we could be friends."
"I agreed. So anything new?"
"Not really but I feel like I should let you in on a secret because of what happened while playing truth or dare."
"Go for it."
"Well once Marvel said he loved you, I felt upset because I sort of have a crush on Marvel."
I was taken back. "Aren't you and Thresh and item?"
"Not really. We are in a flirtmance though."
I nodded. My phone started ringing. It was Jett calling me. It was his way of telling me to get home. I told Desiree goodbye and took my guitar to my car. I put it in the front seat and went to the driver side.
I went home and went to my room. I pulled my guitar out and started playing music again. I hope Jett doesn't think I'm back to my music self that sung when I was mad.
Marvel POV
This afternoon I was going to Jett's to hang out with him and Cato. It was Saturday so we were going to hang out all night. I opened the door and Jett pushed past me. I grabbed his arm and demanded and explanation.
"Cato was in an accident so I'm going to go pick him up. Just so you know, Clove always used to sing when she got mad so I'm assuming she's mad because she came back to her music self. Just leave her alone."
I nodded and watched Jett drive off. I went inside and sat on the couch. Me ignoring Clove didn't last long. I snuck upstairs and sat outside her door while she sung Catch My Breath by Kelly Clarkson. Let me just say, she is amazing.
I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time
Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now
Addicted to the love I found
Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud
Making time for the ones that count
I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith, karma comes around
I will spend the rest of my life
Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now
You helped me see
The beauty in everything
Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Catch my breath
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now
It's all so simple now
Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
(Catch my breath)
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
(Catch my breath)
Catch my breath (catch my breath), won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now
I listened in awe. I peeked in the door and I was caught by Clove. I tried to hide but It didn't take long for her to grab me by my shirt collar.
"You listen to me. I don't like being stalked while I'm trying to practice for my possible record deal."
My eyes bulged out of my head. Did she just say she was on the verge of a record deal? I hugged her and picked her up. I sat her on her desk. I leaned in for a kiss but she leaned away. She stood up.
"Marvel. I can't kiss you. I can't love you. I'm sorry but I can't do that to my friend."
"Who can't you do that to?"
"I can't tell you. It would be breaking the girl code."
Clove pushed away and walked to the stairs. I followed her. She looked at me and sat on the railing. She slid down full speed. She turned and ran into the kitchen. I followed her but she disappeared. She dashed away and I heard her go upstairs. I heard a door lock so I went to the living room and sat down. Jett and Cato arrived shortly but I couldn't focus on this movie.
My mind was on this mystery girl that is preventing Clove from dating me. Who is she? Or is she even a real person?
Did Clove just make her up?
Chapter nine! Yay! I hope everyone is enjoying my story so far. Please review, favorite, and follow.
