Down Home Girl

Chapter 11:

*Aiden's POV*

I looked over at my beautiful girl, who was sleeping peacefully. I knew she was going through a lot, with having to tell her best friends she's leaving...but it's not like she hasn't done it before. I don't want to rush her, I just want her to be happy. But I honestly can't believe she chose to be with me. She knows I don't have a job, and she knows I'm low on money, but she doesn't care. She's got this amazing life...but she still chose me.

I felt her turn in her sleep, and cuddle into me. I wasn't sure if she was awake, so I didn't move.

"Hey." She said softly.

"Hey." I smiled. "Sleep well?"

"Yeah." She said, and got up. I watched her walk into the bathroom and I heard the sink run. She walked back out with clothes on and sat, cross-legged on the end of the bed. I pushed myself up on my elbows and looked at her. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing," I smiled.

"Alright." She giggled. She got up and opened the blinds, revealing a beach front view. I went into the bathroom and put on some clothes and went back into the bedroom.

She was grabbing her bag and phone. "Where are you going?" I asked her.

"To work." She sighed. "Want to come with me?"

"I...uh...I guess." I said.

"I'm gotta talk to them today. I really need you there." Sarah begged. I looked at her.

"Yeah, I'll go." I said. She smiled and grabbed my hand.

We pulled up at the studio and we went upstairs to the control room. The amount of technology in this room is insane!

"Hey guys," she said to them, softly.

"Hey!!!" They exclaimed. She pulled a chair from the back and told me to sit. She sat in an office chair next to me.

I looked around and wondered which one of the guys in here is Rob. I figured it was the guy with long hair, holding the drum sticks because he was staring at her.

"So this is the guy huh?" A man with flame tattoos on his wrist said. His hands were on her shoulders.

"Yeah," she smiled. "Guys, this is Aiden."

"Hey." I said.

"What's up, man?" The flame-tattooed guy said. "I'm Chester."

"Nice to meet you." I responded.

"I need to talk to y'all." She said.

*Sarah's POV*

Oh God...here I go..

"What's up?" Dave said.

"I...I'm leaving." I said softly. "I need to go home."

"What?!" Rob yelled. "What the hell wrong with you?! You're giving this up to go back to Louisiana?!"

Aiden stood up. "Shut the hell up and let her talk!" Aiden boomed.

"Babe, please don't." I begged Aiden. He sighed and sat down.

"Sarah...why?" Mike asked.

"Because I need to do what's best for me. And what's best for me is back home." I said.

"We...we can relocate." Chester offered.

"That's harder than you think." Joe warned.

"So?" Brad said. "We can't afford to lose our only female singer. We'll do what we have to do to keep her."
