Chapter 21

Cole POV

It has been a few days since Liv and I called our break. I have a right to be mad at her, but I also know she's annoyed with this third album and finding the words for songs.

Liv and I have kept it quiet. She's away on tour right now so it helps us for now. It makes sense to keep telling everyone that she's busy or that we've been talking more in the middle of the night. When really all we've said to each other is good morning and good night.

I was in the living room playing with Onyx before I had to take him to the groomers.

"Onyx, let's go outside for a bit," I said as Onyx barked happily. I took him outside as he ran around the yard. I heard Liv's ringtone as I quickly grabbed my phone and answered it.

"Hello," I said.

"Hey Cole, so I am not coming back to LA," she said.

"What? Liv, I said I was sorry about what I sai-" I started to say before she cut me off.

"Not that, Nikki and I decided that it might be safer for me to just meet y'all in Detroit since I am only a couple hours away right now. Why backtrack when I am already nearby?" Liv asked.

I sighed. "Okay, that makes sense," I said running my hand through my hair. "So, how have you been?" I asked.

"I'm okay, and yourself?" Liv asked.

"I'm okay, I miss you," I said. There was silence before I started talking to her again. "I miss our conversations. I am sorry about what I said," I said.

"I don't want to do this over the phone," Liv said.

"Okay, I just want us to go back to the way we were before," I said.

"We will, I just need some time," Liv said.

"We are usually back together within two weeks, what is this?" I asked.

"You hurt my feelings," Liv said. "I know the direction I am going, and I am trying to still be me, but I have to show everyone that I am not the same girl as I was a few years ago. You have heard what IM5 is doing with their music, you, Dana and Gabe are getting older and making music that suits your age group. That's what I am trying to do with this album. I am trying to make this album more adult like, not childish like what you've heard on Disney," Liv said.

"Liv, I am sorry," I said.

"I am not ready yet," Liv said.

"Okay, I guess I will see you in a few days," I said.

"Yeah, I have to go," Liv said.

"Okay, I love you," I said. I hope I wasn't pushing it, I know she's mad at me still, but she is still my wife at the end of the day.

"I love you too, I will talk to you later, bye," Liv said as our call disconnected. I sighed.

Onyx barked happily as he ran over to me. "What do I have to do to get our girl back?" I asked. Onyx barked in response.

Dana and Gabe came over a little while later as we started rehearsing for our shows in London. We were going to perform two new songs, a song called, "Memory," and "Love Thang."

"I am going to be sad when it's all over," Dana said.

"Same, but we deserve this break," Gabe said.

"Liv said that we could do a reunion when we are ready," Dana said.

Gabe looked over at me. "Are you okay? Too much talk of Liv?" Gabe asked. I shrugged.
