Back Where I Belong

Chapter 37

Zoey's pov

"So a lot of your fans don't really believe that you and Travis are really dating. What do you have to say about the rumors about you and Peyton still being together?" Jake, the interviewer for today, asks me.

I try to hide my smile, "They can think whatever they want to believe." A few people in the audience that had shirts with me and Peyton on them squeal. I grin.

"Well, okay then. I believe that it's time for you to perform. You'll be singing one of your older songs, Good Life, correct?" Jake asks.

"There's been a slight change in plans. I'll actually be writing a song that I wrong recently. It's called Secret Love Song Part 2. Part 1 is a little personal. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy," I say happily, standing up and walking over to the piano that was on the stage.

"We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
As you drive me to my house
I can't stop these silent tears from rolling down
You and I both have to hide on the outside
Where I can't be yours and you can't be mine

But I know this, we got a love that is homeless

Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that? 'Cause I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that? 'Cause I'm yours

It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face

But we know this, we got a love that is hopeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? 'Cause I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? 'Cause I'm yours

I don't wanna live love this way
I don't wanna hide us away
I wonder if it ever will change
I'm living for that day, someday
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that? 'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that? 'Cause I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? 'Cause I'm yours

Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that"

I stop playing and look up, into the crowd. They all had their phone flash lights on. I let out a small, breathy laugh and wipe the tear from my eye.

"Zoey Noel!" An angry voice booms. I turn and see Jenn, who had broken through the barrier my brothers had created, stomping over to me.

"You disgusting little brat!" She yells, slapping me across the face. My brothers and security run out on stage. The security guards pull her away from me and hold her back. My brothers stand around me, ready on protect me if she broke free.

"What?" I ask, holding my cheek, "didn't like the song?"

Fire rages in her eyes, "You signed a contract! You are not allowed to tell anyone that you had to date Travis!"

I cough awkwardly, "I didn't. I just wrote a song about that situation in general. But you just told the entire world on live television."

"Zoey Noel, you've made a fool of me once, but never again. You are officially dropped from Hi or Hey Records!" Jenn screams. She pulls her arms free and yanks a contract from her bag. She rips it to shreds.

"What do you have to say now?" She asks smugly, thinking she's won.

I turn to Ashton, Michael, Luke, and Calum and high five them as we cheer and celebrate.

"What are you doing?" Jenn demands.

"Celebrating. I'm fired. I don't need to date Travis anymore!" I exclaim. Her eyes widen in rage. She lunges at me, but gets caught by the security guards, who drag her off of the set. I turn back around and continue celebrating with my brothers.

Just to clear it up, Zoey is only having one baby. Not twins or triplets or anything. And you guys will be finding out the gender and name within the next 5-7 chapters. I think.
