It's time
Kirstie's POV
I was frozen. I couldn't breathe. My mind was blank. My vision was blurry. I was caught and it was in front of my best friend. I sat down on the curb of the perk path and just cried. I didn't care if Scott saw. I didn't care if anyone saw. I just needed to release my emotions. Scott sat next to me, tears also seemed to be threatening his eyes.

"Why?" He asked looking down at the ground, "just why?" I shrugged my shoulders also looking down at the ground.

"I guess it was just a way of sticking with the only people that love me." I sighed putting my head in my hands. Scott looked at me confused. "I lost everything after you guys kicked me out," I said as a few more tears began to roll down my face, "Jeremy, my friends, and my job." Scott put his arm around me and I just sobbed. I sobbed until every single bad thought I ever had was out of my mind and gone. Scott turned to me a wiped a tear away from my face.

"I have to tell Mitch," he said looking me straight in the eye, "he has to know too Kirstie. Especially since you guys are dating." I nodded my head. He was right. We have to tell Mitch. I took out my actual phone and texted him to meet me at the park with Scott.

He said, "sure. Scott has already left with Taylor to go to the park so it'll just be you and I." I just shut off my phone and sighed deeply.  "It will be okay," Scott said pulling me into a hug, "I promise."

Mitch's POV
I don't get why Kirstie was being so cool about inviting me to the park. She hasn't talked to me in days, she didn't show up to our concert. But there was something very intriguing about her text so I decided to go. I texted her back and got ready. She better have a good explanation for these past few days.

"Where are you off to Mitch?" Avi said emerging from the front lounge. He looked worried. Probably because I never go out of the tour bus this early in the morning.

"I'm meeting Kirstie. We just need to talk." I said grabbing my leather jacket and my phone. "Good luck." Avi waved as I exited the tour bus. I nodded and waved back. I had no idea where in the park Kirstie was, but I was going to find her as soon as possible. Soon I spotted Scott on the ground with Kirstie and I ran towards them. Kirstie was sitting there with tears in her eyes. Scott was sitting there obviously worried.

"Kirstie what happened?" I asked sitting next to her and facing her.

"Mitch I have something to tell you." She said facing me. "You have to promise that no matter what happens we'll still be friends" I nodded my head confused. She sighed slowly and grabbed my hand. "This whole time, Taylor never really existed." Confusion. What does she mean? "It was really me the whole time. I only did it because I wanted my life back somehow." Anger and more confusion began to flare up in my mind. Why would she do this to me? I thought we were friends. I didn't have anything to say. I was legitimately speechless. I just had to get out of here. So I left. I ran. It was the only thing I could think of. When I got to the tour bus I immediately went to my bunk and shut the whole world out. I then decided to text Kirstie five words. Those five words said, "I thought we were friends." I then shut off my phone and sighed. Soon I heard the tour bus slam and Scott threw open the curtains of my bunk. He looked angry and anxious.

"Explain Grassi." He said holding up the text I sent Kirstie. I rolled my eyes and turned away to face the wall. "Mitchell Coby Michael Grassi if you don't answer I will physically pull you out of there!" I faced him. My body felt numb.

"What did you expect Scott? She lied to me this whole time. She used me. She betrayed me. How am I supposed to be okay so that?" I was now angry again. "Mitch her whole life was crumbling. She just wanted her old life back." Scott said tears threatening his eyes. "I understand Scott. But she was being selfish. She wasn't herself. I could tell." Scott and I stared at each other angrily. We've never fought this hard before.

"I only did it because I wanted you back." Kirstie then stepped onto the bus. "I wanted everything back. I wanted to prove to you all that I was worthy." I got down from my bunk and faced her. Her face looked dull and dead.  She grabbed her phone from Scott hands quickly and took a step back.

"Why couldn't you just audition as yourself?" Scott asked stupidly. I looked at him and shook my head. He understood very quickly. "I didn't audition as myself because I thought that you guys would see me as needy," she said. I didn't have anything to say. I was still fiery with anger. So I said words I never thought I'd say to my own best friend, "Kirstie I think you need to go." She nodded her head and ran out of the tour bus fast. I ignored all the talking and went back into my bunk. I had regain myself.

Kirstie's POV
This is all my fault. Everything is now my fault. So I just ran. I then found an alley and just sat down and cried. I hate my life were the only four words in my mind. Soon I saw a dark figure approach me. I sat back scared.

"Just forget about it Kirstie. Move on, enjoy your life. Because no ones going to do it for you." It then disappeared. It's right. It's time to move on.
