in front of a microphone

Nine

Friday morning I wake up in realization that I had to be in studio in 15 minutes and Charlie isn't even awake.

"Charles get up now" I scream as loud as I could.

"Don't call me that I hate Charles"

"Well I love it not get up we've gotta be in the stupid in 15 minutes"

"Let's skip"

"No I'm not skipping"

"Please babe for me I don't feel good but I'm sure you feel amazing due to last night" Charlie joked.

"No your actually really bad" I play around with him.

"That explains why you kept telling me keep going sureeee" he says stepping out of the bed and walking to the bathroom.

"What are you doing"

"Well if you wanna go in today I'm obligated to go in with you, and at 1 I have to go to an interview"

"With who"

"Ryan Seacrest"

"Oh okay so I have to stay till 9 tonight by myself"

"No were being let out at 12, Derek texted me last night, he said he has to go to the doctors for his daughter and son to get a check up"

"K" I say a little mad because I feel like I'm the only one putting work into this album and Charlie's not even trying to finish nine track mind.

"Babe don't be mad I told you I wouldn't be able to focus on you as much when I started to get know more, your just a friend" he said about to shut the bathroom door.

I look down at the ground with tears on the brim of my eyes. Is that all he thinks of me as, a friend. I stand up and grab my phone walking to the door and slamming it behind me.

"Tori I didn't mean it like that" i heard Charlie scream as I shut the door.

I'm just a friend.

"Tori I didn't mean it like that"

I can't believe I said that. I quickly hop in the shower and made sure I took a fast one. Once I got out I threw on a flannel and ripped jeans (Charlie's obsession with ripped jeans is ligit) and headed towards Tori's room. I took Tori's second room key that she gave me and opened her room. She wasn't there, I walked to her bathroom, not there, I walked to the kitchen/living room, not there. I quickly dialed he number but it didn't go threw. Shit!

Tori's pov
I couldn't go into the studio today. I'm already pissed as it is and if I got in I know I'll start I worst fight. As I walk down the streets of sourthern California I look to my left and see a little vintage store, as I walk in a see beautiful dresses and whatnot. I look through there selection and pick out 4 different dresses and a light pink fur coat. I walked to the front and payed for them so I could wear them for our tour that's coming up, especially the fur coat. I walk out of the store and as I'm walking I bump into a tall figure. I fall backwards but he caught my arm and brought me up.

"Are you okay beautiful" the tall figure asks, me recognizing that voice from anywhere.

"Oh my goodness G eazy"

"That's me and you must be the one and on Tori, I've heard your music before, your amazing at hitting really high notes"

"Wow thank you it's such an honor to meet you I've been wanting to collab with you for as long as I can remember" I say still in shock.

"Well are busy, if not we should go get something to eat and sit down"

We ended up going to Rita's and just getting ice cream. We talked for what seemed like honors. We were switching faces on snapchat and posting different snapchats of eachother and I think that was the first day I've felt happiness without Charlie around. Charlie was the only one that made me happy and now Gerald's here. He wasn't like one of those guys you want there as a boyfriend but there as a friend. He ended up walking me back to the apartment and met a few fans on the way. We took pictures with them and by 12 there were already tumors out that me and Gerald were dating. He walked me back to my apartment and my phone started to buzz.

"Give me one second please"

"Hello" I say through the phone.

"Where are you missy" Charlie asked.

"Outside the condo"

"Stay there I'm coming down"

After about 30 seconds Charlie was done in the lobby and walking threw the doors.

"Oh my goodness baby I missed you, you scared me half to death" Charlie said running into me hugging me, I hugged back and Charlie pulled away and look to my left and saw Gerald.

"Oh hi I'm Charlie Tori's boyfriend" Charlie said getting defensive and jealous.

"C it's okay he's just a friend meet Gerald"

"I know who he is Tori but why are you with him" Charlie asks.

"Because he's my friend" I say making t clear to him.

We walk over to gerald.

"Okay baby doll I've gotta go back to the studio and meet up with some boys, call you tonight" he asked.

"Bye see ya tonight"

Charlie looked at me with tears in his eyes and turned away.

"Baby no what he's just a friend come here now let's get inside"

Once we get to his room and he opens the door I walk in with him and slam the door shut. I crawl onto the bed and kiss him from his lips down.

"He's just a friend in the business I love you baby"
