Sals POV:

"What have I done?" I asked myself for what seemed like the millionth time, I hadn't gotten any sleep last night my eyes felt heavy and my mouth was sticky from crying and not speaking for several hours, "I can't just throw something I've wanted this long away because she got a little crazy, I think I need that in my life a spark" my voice sounded weird inside my small empty apartment. I turned over and played with my bracelets before sitting up "I gotta make things right, I can't lose this angel" I said to myself before kicking the covers into a pile at the foot of my bed.

Kayanna's POV:

"Mikey what the fuck was that last night!?" I demanded

"I found DJ's booze stash" he laughed but when he saw my face the smile quickly vanished

"Yes I believe I'm able to put two and two together" I sassed him, Mikey looked down

"I'm sorry I ruined DJ's date" he mumbled

"Ruined her date!? You might have ruined the only chance I'd ever be able to see her in a happy relationship again!!" I screamed in his face clearly forgetting that this was my idol

"She likes Calum" he whispered

"Oh no, Calum is just a fling and he's way too much of a player for my best friend" Mikey stared at me his chin shaking

"I'm sorry!" he cried tears starting to slide down his face

"Ugh, crying isn't gonna make me forgive you, DJ mops around the house now and barely mutters a word thanks to you! She loves him she actually loves someone that isn't me, herself or the band, do you not understand how important this is?" I asked, Mikey stared at me more tears spilling out of him then DJ when she finally loses it

"I need to go for a walk!" I screamed slamming the door behind me leaving Mikey alone on the couch crying into a pillow.

I walked quick thinking about the how fuck I was gonna get Sal to forgive DJ, this may sound crazy but I'd stop at nothing until she was happy again when you're on stage you become a different you become the happy role model your fans look up too but when you live with each other you can finally see the true colors of your band mates and sometimes its unbelievably painful to see what they're hiding underneath. I remember those nights where I'd here DJ bang her fists against the head board, wailing like a wolf pup who'd just lost it mama, all those practices and sound checks she missed or came late too because it was too hard to get up. What was the worst was when I caught the gashes on her wrists, that's when I started protecting her and doing everything I can to make her happy again. I sighed and watched as the cloud of my warm breath against the cold air evaporate into nothing "what ll happen to DJ if she keeps pushing the sadness aside, it'll eat her up into oblivion" I thought and sighed again. "Dammit DJ" I huffed.

DJ'S POV:

I looked over at Mikey who was hunched over a pillow rocking back and forth while sniffling
"Uh, Mikey? What's wrong?"
"KK got mad at me" he whispered
"Oh" was all I could manage, I swallowed the lump that had  formed in my throat down as I remembered the disaster of last night
"She told me I ruined everything" he said picking a loose thread off of the throw pillow
"You didn't, Mikey I'm going to see him right now actually" I said grabbing the keys to my car
"Hope everything goes well, D"
"I hope so too" I thought.

As I pulled up in front of the apartment I realized Sal mustn't have much money, the windows on the building were either broken or boarded up (also quite dirty), the door to the lobby was ripped off its hinges and lay abandoned in between the outside and inside and the whole place just looked dirty and gross. I stepped out of the car and looked up at the buliding I had texted Sal before leaving and he had given me the number of his apartment. I shut the car door and pressed the lock button, then started making my way to the buliding my battlejacket collar flipped up, I avoided the broken door the best I could only half tripping. The inside was worse the the outside! A chandler lay in the middle of the lobby with broken light bulbs and chains, dust covered the entire floor like a thick gray carpet I started up the stairs which were half rotted and decaying beneath my heavy boots I got up to the third floor and looked at the door numbers 20, 21 finally I found 22. The door had been pulled off and the apartment was only one small room I entered and glanced around, kitchen a small square that contained a small counter, a hot plate and, a mini fridge. To my left was a small bathroom with a shower and a toliet. And against the only window was a metal bed with a worn down mattress and a single sheet upon that sat Sal sitting with his back away from me.
"Now do you understand why I didn't want you over?" He asked without turning around
"No, because this doesn't change the way I think of you" I choked out
Sal spun around and got up
"How!? You must've thought I was some sixteen year old rich kid who lived in a modern house with his parents!" His voice echoing throughout the barely furnished apartment, I shook my head
"No, Sal I knew about the situation you're in"
"How?" He asked quietly
"Don't you remember me?"
"Course I do I just thought you forgot about me"
I laughed "forget someone as amazing as you!? I don't think so" he smiled the smile I love so much "I came to aplogize about last night" and then I began ranting.

Sals POV:

I stared at her and that's when I realized something: I love her

Mikey POV:

Just then I realized that the feelings I was having was because I was in love with KK.

Sals POV :

"Um, D?" I asked making her stop her rant
"Yeah Sal? What's up?" She asked me with a quiver in her voice
"I love you" I squeaked, DJ's face was red and she was picking at her nails
"I love you too, I've loved you since I first spoke to you"
Her head remained down and I stared at her this perfect women sitting so close to me I could smell her cologne she was different and I loved it, I loved everything about her. DJ looked up "be my Sallycat forever?" She asked me blushing I reached over and laced my hand into hers
"Yes" I responded, we stared at each other for what seemed like hours until I finally reached over and brushed hair away from her face, then started to lean in DJ followed wrapping one of her arms around my neck and one lay as gentle as a feather at the back of my head. Our noses were touching until she finally placed her lips upon mine. She licked my lips until I finally granted her wish my tongue felt her stud while exploring her mouth, she did the same tasting every inch of my mouth. I didn't want this to end I opened my eyes and stated at her closed eyes, looking so peaceful I closed mine again and wrapped her tightly in my arms not braking the kiss.
