"and we're wrapped!" the producer shouts, i turn to face him, to make sure i heard right, it had been a long day after all.

"we're wrapped?" i ask again, he nods and we all cheer, i embrace natalie in a hug and kiss the top of her head, she pulled away almost immediately after that, oh yeah, i forgot i need to speak to her about the situation we're in.

it was really dark at night, i didn't feel comfortable driving all the way to hidden hills this late, i'm sure natalie felt the same, i turn to her, she was talking to ally.

"hey, are you going back to your house or are you staying in a hotel for the night?" i ask, she turns round to face me and shakes her head at my question.

"i actually have an apartment downtown, me and ally are going to stay there for the night, do you want to stay with us? i have like three bedrooms." she says, i nod my head. i would much rather stay with her than in a hotel, they're so impersonal but i guess that's kind of the point of them.

"sure, maybe we can talk too?" i ask quietly, she nods and then turns back to face ally, continuing their conversation about whatever.

after we've all gotten our outfits taken off, natalie and ally hopped into my car and she put the address to her apartment in the gps system as i began the engine, once it was ready we drove off.

"shit i just realised we probably don't have any food in that apartment" natalie mumbled, rubbing her hands along her face, taking a deep inhale.

"well you have that whole foods nearby, so you guys can drop me off and then go grab stuff?" ally suggested.

natalie looked at me and i shrugged, "i don't mind, im fine either way." i mutter, natalie nods her head.

"alright, we can go there and grab some stuff." she says.

we arrived at her apartment complex, i took a quick look and man, it looked nice, she has taste, i watch natalie hand ally the keys and she walks in, taking the stuff that natalie brought from this morning with her, she waves her hand bye and walks in. "so whole foods is like two minutes away, you can either park your car here and we can walk it or we can drive." she tells me, i decide to park the car and walk, there was no point driving two minutes.

we walk out the garage and natalie holds my hand, immediately i feel shivers down my spine, "got to keep up appearances, i guess." i hear her mumble, i'm pretty sure she didn't mean for me to hear that, so i pretend that i didn't, i can't wait to tell her that the song is actually about her. today is the night, i can't have her ignoring me during tour, that would kill me so i'm telling her today.

"so what do we need to get?" i ask her and we walk into whole foods, she looks around, "uhm just something for dinner and like breakfast foods, i guess." she mumbles doing her best to avoid eye contact, i nod my head.
