Faults, Scars, and Guitar Strings

Chapter 56

Note: Sorry for such a delay in updating lately. I've been pretty busy with school and now that there's a month left there's a lot to do. My summer class is also online so there will hopefully be plenty of time to write and I've got stories planned that I hope you will enjoy. :) 

Chapter 56

Today is the day. Today is my year anniversary with Dylan. We have gone to five schools so far, all of them being in different states involving hours of riding in a vehicle. We kept supplies and snacks in the vehicle and we each had our computers that we used to watch movies. The group finished talking to a school yesterday so I made sure our managers kept today free, giving Dylan and I all day to celebrate our anniversary.

"Has he told you anything yet?" Maria walked into the living room area of the hotel we were staying at. She sat next to me with her computer in her lap.

I shook my head, "It's sweet though."

"A year is a pretty big deal I wonder what he's planning," she replied.

"I've been wondering too. I still can't believe we've been together for a year."

Maria nodded, "Time flies doesn't it?"

"Definitely," I nodded back. "It feels like yesterday I was getting to know all of you. Now we're best friends." Lolita walked in and tossed us a couple of apples. "And these are for?" I questioned.

"I went with David to the market right? Turns out there was a farmer's market going on and I LOVE getting fresh fruit and vegetables so I bought everybody some apples, bananas, oranges, and a variety of vegetables I am making tonight for dinner."

I laughed and shook my head, "I wish I could join you for the dinner, but Dylan and I have plans."

"Oh I know," she smirked.

"He told you didn't he?" She nodded. "Then why won't he tell me?"

"Oh trust me, he has his reasons. You are going to love it though! I'll save you some dinner. You two can have it tomorrow."

I groaned, "You're lucky I love you."

"I love you too. You couldn't get it out of me if you tried."

"I figured," I bit into the apple, "I'll just eat the apple."

"Good girl," she laughed, "What are you two doing?"

We both shrugged. "Not much," Maria admitted. "Any ideas?"

"How long until your performance?" Lolita asked me.

I looked at the clock, "I have to be there tomorrow at 8:30."

"Did you and your manager decide on the next single?"

"It's the last song I wrote for the album," I nodded, "It's called Change."

"I like that one!" Maria exclaimed.

"Me too," I nodded, "It has a good beat and a good meaning behind it. I figured it would be the perfect second single. I thought about a couple others and my manager wanted Stand Up. I think I want that to be my third single though."

"How many singles are you getting out of this album?"

"As many as I can hopefully. I still have another year of high school after this. I can't have a crazy year like the beginning of this one. Maybe sometime next year I'll start working on another album, but I was thinking about taking a break instead. It is senior year and I will want to enjoy it. I can see my music changing a lot after I graduate. I'll finally be an adult and trying to figure out how I want to spend my time. It'll change too much to try to release anything too soon I think."
