Chapter16_Apologize
Hey guys, just wanna say that I love you! And I appreciate the support!
All the faves, and the follows, and reviews!
You R amazing!
Now let's get down to business:
_Why you called then? You want me to say I'm ok with it? Fuck no!
I hear Adam shout; holding his cellphone so hard I'm afraid it's gonna break anytime soon. I saw him leave the house nervously and I just had to follow him to make sure he was alright. Then I realized 'The Bitch' called him.
_I don't give a shit! Just stop the act already, yeah, cut the crap!
He shouts again and I cling to my sweater as I feel the coldness of his voice. I know I just have to leave him alone but I can't. I feel like if I leave him alone now, I would lose the chance of having him for myself forever.
He finally hangs up and takes a deep breath while rubbing his now shaved head. I'm hiding in the shadows and he can't see me, but I take a step towards him and then he notices me. There's something in his eyes; it wasn't surprise or fear, it was pure anger. What…?
_What are you doing here? You follow me or something?
_I… I was just…
I stutter nervously; scared of his reaction. I just wish I hadn't come to his sight.
_What?
Adam shouts again and I push my hair behind my ears. I gulp and whisper:
_I just wanted to make sure if you were ok…
Adam stares at me for what feels like a lifetime until he laughs out loud scarily. He throws his cellphone and it hits the hard wall right in front of him and breaks into pieces. He comes closer to me and I smell alcohol on him, so much of it…
_That's so sweet Star… You're so sweet… So sweet…
He starts mocking me and then all of a sudden his voice fades away. His eyes are red and tired and I feel like he's about to collapse anytime soon. Before I can do anything he whispers right into my face:
_Why you care so fucking much?
I open my mouth to say something but it just stays open and I don't make any sound. He smiles weakly and whispers again:
_I don't know why either…
After he's finished he turns to leave but he can't walk properly. I run to him and put my hand on his back and say clearly:
_I wanna help you, Adam. Just let me give your heart a break…
He looks at me confused and surprised at the same time. I just shrug and lead him to my car in the backyard. I have to take him to his home so he could rest for hours before the show starts tomorrow. He has to be sober for the first live episode.

I jump when I hear my phone ringing and grab it so it wouldn't make much noise. I hear Kat's angry voice:
_Where the hell you went last night without saying goodbye? Lucas was worried as hell! So was I!
I groan and answer calmly:
_I was drunk, what did you expect me to do? I drove home as soon as I could. Shit! I gotta go, talk to you tonight!
I hang up before she can argue and throw the phone on the couch. On his couch…
I yawn tiredly and sit on the couch trying to stay awake. I look at my phone's watch and I think it's time to wake him up. Last night was tough; Adam was so drunk he didn't realize he was in his own home. I made him sleep after an hour and I slept on the couch in front of TV.
I stand up to go to the kitchen and make some breakfast. As I walk to the kitchen I had breakfast in once I realize it's like I'm walking in my own home. I feel so calm and relaxed; it feels so weird but yet so normal…
I make some coffee and I find some toasts and whipped cream. I think it's time to wake him up so I leave for his room. I push the half-open door and I see him. His eyes are closed tightly and his face is almost peaceful. God, he looks like an angel… My angel…
I move to the bed and sit on it near his body. I'm tempted to kiss him but I fight it so hard. I bite my lip so the pain would kill my crazy thoughts. I shake him a little bit and call his name. He groans quietly and mumbles something I can't understand.
I call his name again and this time he opens his eyes; looking surprised. I smile kindly and say:
_Good morning coach!
He smiles back and then I guess he starts to remember last night. He suddenly sits on the bed and says:
_Damn, I'm sorry about last night. You didn't have to…
I interrupt him by saying calmly:
_I told you last night. I wanna give your heart a break…
Adam smiles sweetly; not sure what to say or do. I help him get off the bed and say:
_Breakfast's ready but I gotta go. I have lots of things to do before tonight's show. See you later!
I hear him shout 'See ya!' when I leave his room. I giggle to myself and open the front door leaving him alone, for now…

_Welcome to the voice! I'm Carson Daly. These are your coaches: Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton!
Carson shouts in his microphone whole-heartedly. The crowd doesn't stop screaming. I clap my hands so hard they're red!
_What a huge night tonight is. For the very first time this season, we are live…
Everyone goes mad at his words! Carson explains about voting process and then asks Christina and Blake what they expect from their artists tonight. Christina looks great and guys can't stop whistling when she starts talking:
_I could not be more thrilled about what's gonna happen tonight… My team's been in rehearsal, blood sweat and tears. I couldn't be more proud, they're so diverse and I'm really excited!
Everyone starts screaming and clapping again and then Blake starts talking about Team Blake going up against Team Christina:
_I think it's gonna be tough, I'm serious! We were talking earlier today about people that are on her team that I think they're really good. This is not gonna be easy. America's gonna know what it was like for us going through those battle rounds! It's hard to make a decision, it really is man…
After clapping Carson finally mentions us:
_Next Monday Team Adam and Team Cee Lo will take the stage but their teams are here in the audience. Give it up for Team Adam and Team Cee Lo right over here!
Cameras focus on us and all 12 of us start screaming and laughing. It just feels amazing to be there and feel that energy. I stare at Adam all the time and then I finally realize Cee Lo stops talking and everyone's laughing at what Adam says. They're joking about Cee Lo's wig, damn it's funny!
Carson then asks Adam to talk about the live shows and I zoom at him:
_I think this is a really good time to first of all just to enjoy ourselves because it's fun. We're fans, we love watching this whole process take place…
A bunch of girls scream "We Love You Adam!" and he laughs and then continues:
_I think it'd be fun to watch but it'd also be fun for everybody on my team to study and see what's going on so that we can kinda work our stuff out, you know as the process goes through… These are important and really cool opportunity for them to see what they're gonna be up against so I'm excited about that…

Lucas comes on the stage and starts singing slowly:
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
I look at Adam concentrating on his voice and smile. He seems so calm and relaxed but me, on the other hand am not. I'm wondering what if I'll screw it all up next week. What if I can't make it?
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say
I move my head around with the beat of the music and close my eyes. Kat whispers in my ears:
_Wonderful, huh?
I just nod and then think about him…
That it's too late to apologize
Yeah, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I open my eyes and see he's closed his eyes too. I smile again and look at Lucas; singing so beautifully…
I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turning blue and you say
Sorry like an angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid that it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
Too late…
Lucas is about to finish and everyone's silent. He finishes the song gracefully and I think Ryan Tedder would be proud…
I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground…
So, what did you think?!
I cannot wait for you guys to read the nxt chap! I don't wanna brag, but it's pretty good! hehe!
Love you,
S
