Invisible String

Natalie's POV

"I'm sorry when were you going to tell me Servando went to look for you." Taylor says.

"Ummm I'm telling you now?" I say with a small shrug.

"Wait that was the person who knocked when we were at the bus?" Lizzie asks and I nod.

"What exactly happened?" Taylor asks.

"Well I'll tell you what he said." I say as I start repeating what had happened.

"We need to talk."

I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at him in confusion. I walked out of the bus closing the door.

"What are you doing here? Did Alex send you?" I spat.

"Alex doesn't know I'm here so no she didn't send me. Look you need to listen to me. I know Alex has been trying to get a hold of you for a while now and I can't blame you for not wanting to talk to her, but you should know that-."

"I don't want to know!"

"Look I can't tell you why this is happening but you should really talk to her. Talk to her before the wedding happens." Servando says with pleading eyes.

He looked as if he was scared, like if he wanted me to talk to her. Why would I do that? Why would he want me to talk to her? Why is he so desperate that I go talk to her. Does he not want to marry her?

I shook my thoughts away as I looked at Servando.

"I'm not stupid. I won't go talk to her. You're just playing games." I say as I cross my arms.

"I can assure you I'm not. Please I'm literally begging you to go talk to her. Alex." He says as he shuts his eyes and sighs. "Alex talks about you all the time. She's trying to get a hold of you, she wants to explain. Trust me I wish I could explain it to you but it would be better if she did."

"Then why don't you explain it to me?"

"Because I can't!"

"Why can't you? I don't get it."

"Damn it because she should be the one telling you!" He yells. "Just talk to her that's all I ask of you."

I sigh as I look down.

"Fine."

Lies.

"Thank you. I hope you give Alex the chance to tell you. She's desperate."

He turns away as he starts walking. He halts as he looks up and ahead.

"She just wants to clarify what happened. You should know it's not her fault but she should be the one to tell you what's going on."

"And that's it. But now that I'm going to be at the wedding and I now know everything. What the hell am I supposed to do? Nothing. That's what I'm going to do. Nothing." I say.

"You're out of your god damn mind!" Lizzie yells.

"Excuse me?" I ask.

"Forget the PR we have going on. Literally go for Alex."

"No. If she hasn't done anything to stop it why am I going to chase after a girl." I say with a shrug.

"I love you but you're seriously dumb." Taylor says.

"Anyway my first song drops tonight!" I say excitedly.

Alex's POV

"IT'S OUT! NO ONE FREAK OUT BUT THE SONG IS OUT." Tobin yells as she frantically runs around the hotel hallway.

I grab my phone as I lay next to Christen.

"We don't have to listen to it." Christen says.

"What kind of supporter would I be if I didn't listen to the song." I say.

Christen pulls up YouTube as she clicks on the music video.

Natalie comes into the screen with her ocean blue electric guitar. She starts plucking on the strings and the video transitions to her in the passenger seat of a car as the car drives past some trees.

It could change, but this feels like, like the calm before the storm
Not that I don't wanna try, but I've been here before
Friends in town, phone's at home, I tell myself it's fine
Can't remember how you taste, slept alone too many nights

The video transitioned to the sky as it was dark and it was a starry night. Natalie on the ground with her guitar as she looked up at the stars.

It transitioned again as it started to pour down on her. She sat on top of a rock as she looked up to the sky.

Where did we go wrong? I know we started out alright
Where did we go wrong? I swear I knew we'd last this time
Where did we go wrong? Oh did you, did you change your mind?
How could you change your mind?
Who got inside your mind?

Where did we go wrong? I know we started out alright
Where did we go wrong? I swear I knew we'd last this time
Where did we go wrong? Oh did you, did you change your mind?
How could you change your mind?
Who got inside your mind?

It transitioned again to the starry night. Her bright brown eyes shined through it all.

Half my clothes are at your house, and I don't want them back
The smell of you is way too much, not gonna put my heart through that
I don't know how much time we got, I don't know how much to say
I don't know, tell me what you want, I want you to want me to stay

A silhouette of two women appeared the one on the left staring at the one on the right who looked somewhere else instead of to the left. A smile on the one on the right as she hugged someone, while the one on the left only looked straight ahead then dropped her head down along with some flowers.

Where did we go wrong? I know we started out alright
Where did we go wrong? I swear I knew we'd last this time
Where did we go wrong? Oh did you, did you change your mind?
How could you change your mind?
Who got inside your mind?

Where did we go wrong? I know we started out alright
Where did we go wrong? I swear I knew we'd last this time
Where did we go wrong? Oh did you, did you change your mind?
How could you change your mind?
Who got inside your mind?

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la oh yeah
La la la la la la la la
Ooh ooh ooh

Where did we go wrong? I know we started out alright
Where did we go wrong? I swear I knew we'd last this time
Where did we go wrong? Oh did you, did you change your mind?
How could you change your mind?
Who got inside your mind?

Where did we go wrong? I know we started out alright
Where did we go wrong? I swear I knew we'd last this time
Where did we go wrong? Oh did you, did you change your mind?
How could you change your mind?
Who got inside your mind?

The song ended, the screen going black. Only the reflection of Christen and I through the black screen.

"There's already speculations." Tobin says as she munches on her fruit.

"Tobin now is not the time." Christen says and I sigh.

This could be about anything, but it hits.

"I didn't change my mind." I whisper.

"Did you say something?" Christen asks me and I shake my head.

"No. Nothing."
