Shawn's POV:

I slowly walked down the stairs drying my tears. I keep my head down so Mrs.Karp wouldn't see me cry.

"Shawn, where are you going?" Mrs. Karp asked.

"I-I um..my mom texted me that I have to come home." I lie.

"Oh..well come by anytime!" She says happily.

"Okay thank you." I say and walk out.

I finally break and start to cry as I walk to my car. I get in my car and lay my head on the steering wheel. I didn't mean to yell at Layla...I wasn't even mad at Layla! I let my feelings get the best of me. I was just sad that Layla probably won't be able to come along. I was gonna miss her.

(10 minutes)

I pull up into my drive way and walk to my front door. I open it and my whole family is on the couch watching a movie.

"Hey honey." My mum says with a smile.

"Hey." I say walking to my room.

"Wait!" I hear my mum yell but I shut my door and lay on my bed.

I then hear mumbling from my family.

"What's his problem?" I hear Aaliyah my sister, ask.

"I don't know...Manny will you please go ask your son what's wrong." I hear my mum say to my dad.

"Yeah." My dad says and I hear footsteps to my room.

I grunt as I put a pillow over my face. As I do my door opens.

"Shawn...what's the matter?" I hear my dad ask.

"I don't want to talk about it." I say trying not to cry.

"Son..you need to tell me." My dad says taking a seat on my bed.

I take in a deep breath and then let it out. He was right...it's bad to keep your feelings in too long.

"I-I got a call from Andrew, I'm going on tour." I say looking down.

"That's great news Shawn!" My dad says smiling.

"Yeah I guess it's good for my career and all..but not for my relationship." I say whispering the last part.

"You mean Layla?" He asks and I nod crying.

"Her career is starting up too! She is becoming a singer and...a-and I'm not gonna see her! So I got upset and yelled at her..even tho I wasn't mad at her." I say sobbing.

My dad pulls me into him and I cry. He pats my back and I look up at him.

"Shawn...relationships are hard..but I see you really care about Layla. So my advice is just to work it out. So you guys might not see face to face all the time but there is FaceTime, calling, texting and many other things! And if Layla is just getting started than she will have plenty of time to visit you." My dad says and I smile.

My dad was right! I was over reacting a little. I could call Andrew and work for her to maybe be an opening act before I come out! This could all work out perfectly. All I have to do is talk to Andrew before Layla's meeting tomorrow so he can talk to her manger.

(Monday)

Layla's POV:

(Beep,beep)

My eyes open to my phone alarm going off. I reach over and see "meeting in 10 minutes". I gasp and run out of bed and into the shower. I can't believe I woke up so late!

(5 minutes later)

I hop out of the shower and throw on some skinny jeans and a nice shirt. I then put on my black vans and run back to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. After that I applied my makeup and I was out the door.
