Chapter 20:

Recording Studios;

| | Georgia's P.O.V | |

"Thank you, I'll see you there Mr.Edge." I said gratefully, turning off my phone. 

I kissed Grace's cheek and said goodbye to both her and Noah. I got into Grace's car and picked up Alice, who doesn't live far from my house, I drove us down to a recording studio in the city, which was half an hour away. Mr.Edge told me that today I was going to be recording the song and tomorrow will be the music video shooting.

------------------------

We walked in and I was immediately targeted by a woman called Fiona. 

"You're Georgia and Alice, right?" She said, checking her clipboard.

"Yeah, that's us" I smiled and she walked us down a long white corridor, that was filled with signed pictures of famous rock artists like Kiss, The Rolling Stones etc.

"Just through this door, Mr.Edge will greet you" She smiled and turned on her heels, walking back towards the door.

I opened the door slowly and we peeked inside. There was a black sofa pressed against red padding walls, a recording booth with a mic already set up and a team of people standing/sitting behind the control panel.

"Ah, Girls. You made it." Mr.Edge came up and shook our hands. I gave out a nervous laughter and he ran through our schedule. 

We walked into the recording booth and Alice took a seat on the wooden stool not far from the mic. I stood by the mic and got close.

"Georgia, the sheet of lyrics are in front of you, so you may stop to read them if you wish." He explained.

I took a deep breath in and began to shake. Alice held out her hand and I took it, she squeezed me hand lightly and I looked at her. 

"You're amazing, you don't need to be nervous you'll nail this" She reassured me and I smiled at her.

She pulled her hand back and started playing the tune on her guitar to which music started flowing into the booth.

I took a deep breath in and closed my eyes.

 "I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now-"

-----------------------

"Thank you for coming down girls" Mr.Edge spoke and then looked directly at me.

"You both did amazing and Georgia if you have any more master pieces you want to share then feel free" He smiled at me.

Alice turned on her heels heading for the door but I stayed still.

"Actually.." I started and she turned back around to face me. "I wrote a song the other night" I smiled nervously.

"Uh I don't know the chords?" Alice panicked.

"That's fine, Georgia how about you share the lyrics with us and you can work on the chords at home?" He asked, raising and eyebrow and I nodded, going back into the booth.

"Title of the song?" Mr.Edge asked, sitting down behind the panel.

"Tomorrow" I smiled and he nodded, pressing record.

I took a deep breath in and started;

 "And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
But I don't  

  When you say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...  

  I don't know how I'll feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day  

  It's always been up to you,
It's turning around,
It's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
just don't  

  Gimme a little time,
Leave me alone a little while,
Maybe it's not too late,
not today, today, today, today, today...  

  I don't know how I'll feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day  

  Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm not ready,
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow  

  Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm not ready,
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow

  And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Yeah I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...  

  Tomorrow it may change  

  Tomorrow it may change  

  Tomorrow it may change  

  Tomorrow it may change"

I stopped and opened my eyes and to my surprise I hadn't noticed that tears were flowing down my face until I reached up to move my fringe. I looked over to Mr.Edge and he was smiling at me with sympathy written all over his face. 

"Georgia, That was more than amazing how long did it take to come up with that?" Alice asked, running up to tackle me from behind.

"It took me all night but I couldn't sleep anyway" I smiled, she reached down and wiped away my tears.

At that very moment Grace walked through the door, she looked up with a smile then her face fell.

"Georgia?" she asked barely over a whisper. I turned around and looked at her.

"I knew this would happen" She cried, walking out of the room.

"Wait Grace!" I shouted, taking off my headphones and I ran after her.

She started running and she got into her car.

"Grace!" I shouted, banging on the windows. She turned her head to look at me and mascara stained her cheeks. She put her foot down and sped off.

"Fuck" I mumbled, I walked off the road and back into the recording studio. When I opened the door all of their heads snapped towards me and I just put my hands up in the air as a sign of defeat.

"She'll be fine" I lied to myself.

"And.. What about you?" Alice asked.

"Me?" I chuckled. "I don't even know how to feel anymore" I shook my head and walked into the booth with a piece of paper and pen.

I started writing and didn't stop for a good couple of hours.

-------------------------

I took off my shoes and shut the door behind me.

Silence filled the house.

I walked into the living room and saw all the power was off. I turned on the light and looked around, the place was spotless.

I walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the table.

'You're dinner is in the oven, when you get home we will all be in bed- Noah x'

I huffed and warmed my dinner up.

I sat eating pasta and thinking about the events that had happened today.

Grace actually thought I'd cheat on her. She's crazy. I'm going to have to pick up the pieces that I can't even find.

I stood up and put my cutlery and plate in the dishwasher, not turning it on. I turned off the lights and walked up the stairs. I walked along the corridor to each room and listened in. Everyone was silent so I tip-toed into my bedroom and got into my pajamas silently. I climbed in bed and staring at the wall until the tears started seeping from my eyes yet again. I had once again, cried myself to sleep.
