He's the One///Aj Mitchell

Chapter 25

<Amanda Paul's POV>

I looked around and sighed. I picked up my phone and dialed Atlantic Records number. I heard it ring two times before I heard someone say hello. I cleared my throat and said "I have decided to sign with you guys." I heard the guys go crazy, cheering. "Welcome to the team, Miss Paul. Come in with Taylor tomorrow." I smiled and looked at the boys. "Okay. Thank you. Bye." I hung up and looked at my phone. I sighed in relief as the boys couldn't contain their excitement any longer. "Go ahead and celebrate. I'm gonna go call Logan to let him know the news." I said and walked outside. I sat on the lawn chair and just started off into space. I sigh and look at my phone. My breathe starts to get shaky and tears start to form in my eyes. That stress is finally lifted off my shoulders. I did it. I'm finally going to be able to do what I love with my best friend. I'm finally happy.

<AJ Mitchell's POV>

I watched as Amanda walked outside. I sighed and looked over at the guys and saw how happy they were for her. I'm happy for her too but I don't think they know the amount of stress that finding a record label to work with has been on her. I cleared my throat and the guys stopped what they were doing. "Guys do y'all not realize that she's been so stressed out and worried she wasn't gonna find a record label that would take her?" I asked them. They looked at me and sat down. "What do you mean?" Taylor asked. I sighed. Of course they didn't know. "All of the record labels she has sent her work to have denied her because they didn't think she had a chance to make it big or wasn't even worth trying to make famous." I told them. They stopped and sat back down. "AJ, what do you mean?" Taylor asked. I sighed and shook my head. "Why don't you ask her yourself?" I said and walked outside to where Amanda was. I sat down on the lounge chair she was standing by. "You okay?" I asked her. She jumped back a little and looked at me and sighed. She wiped her tears and just nodded. I sighed and grabbed her hands and intertwined them with mine. I looked at her in the eyes. "Don't lie to me Amanda." I said. "I'm fine AJ. I just.. what if they end up doing what every other label as done to me. I'm not ready for that." She said and let go of my hands. I quickly stood up and got a grip of her shoulders. She looked at me in the eyes and quickly looked away. "Hey. Look at me. Amanda. They would not do that to you. They've wanted you for the longest time. You can't think about the what ifs. Let this plan itself out. You can't control or change every in your life. You can't overthink every little thing. Breathe and relax. Be fucking happy that you finally got signed and that you are going to be able to work with your best friend." I told her. She exhaled and nodded. "You're right. Ugh. Okay. I'm gonna go back in the house and go celebrate with the guys." She said and hugged me. I kissed her forehead and put my head on top of hers and sighed. She let go and looked at me. She pushed her hair behind her ears. "I'll see you around AJ." she said and walked into the house. I sighed and walked back inside. I said bye to everyone and drove off. 

<Corbyn Besson's POV> 

I saw Amanda hug AJ and walk back inside with nothing to say. She sat on the couch next to Zach and laid her head on his shoulder. I sighed, knowing there was something bothering her. Then I saw AJ walk in and start saying bye to everyone and walked through the front door. Once he walked out the door everyone got quiet and looked over at Amanda. She just stayed quiet. I looked at her and she locked eyes with me. I saw her eyes get watery. I signed to her to ask if she was okay. She just nodded and shut her eyes to let the tears run down her face. She quickly wiped them and hid her pain behind a smile. She looked back at me and pointed to go upstairs. I nodded and we both got up and walked to our shared room. "Amanda, what is going on?" I asked. As soon as I asked that, she started crying. "I..I..I miss him, Corbs. I miss hanging out with him and being able to just be around him. But I can't be with him. I can't fall for his smile and sweet talk all over again cause I'm gonna get hurt again." She said. I sighed and pulled her into a hug. "Listen to me. When I called him over here to talk to you, he answered that phone call after one ring. He literally was fucking racing over here to see if you were okay. He literally yelled at us cause we weren't doing shit when we knew you were stressing out. He literally yelled at us for not understanding why it was so hard for you to find a label to sign with. He would literally do anything for you in a heart beat. Jake literally told me that every song that kid writes it's about you. He says that the only person that kid talks about is you. You are the only he wants to be with and wants to be seen with Amanda. He literally wants to protect you. He is in love with you." I told her. She just sat there and looked at me. She then lies back in her bed and twirls her hair. I could tell that she didn't know what to say. I can tell that she wants to go talk to him but she can't bring herself to do it. "I think you should go see him." I said, hoping I don't get yelled at or get a bad reaction from her. She sat up, still playing with her hair. "I can't though Corbyn. I literally told him that I never wanted to talk or see him again." She said. "I know but that could change if you talk to him. It could change if you just tell him how you feel." I told her. "I'll think about it." She said and just laid back down on her bed.
