~Sam's Point of View~

"You know man, this song is actually really good. I've got a question about it, though. Who is it about?" Brian asked. 

Brian, Tyler, Michael, and I were all gathered around a table at Applebees. It was where we had all decided to go to eat after Michael and I dropped off the song at the studio. I'll find out information in a few days on what my producer thinks and if it's album ready, and if not, I'll find out what needs to be changed and critiqued. 

"Brian, this is probably an iffy subject with you. Considering you and Tyler both seem to be close with Leila or at least you two talk a bit, but it's about her. I can't stand it, man. I miss her like crazy. She's the one, and always has been. I was too stupid to realize it before, but I guess with all of this crazy shit about being an artist now and producing music and everything, it made me realize that now the only thing that I actually need is Leila. I don't need the bars, the alcohol, or the one night stands. I just need Leila. To be honest, I think she was all I ever needed," I replied, truthfully. 

Don't get me wrong, I liked Brian and Tyler both. They were great, down to Earth people who knew how to have a good time but I knew what every thing was going to result in. Brian and Leila seem extremely close with what I've seen from Twitter and Instagram. They tag each other in a lot on Twitter, and seem to have public conversations quite often as well. The only thing on Instagram that proves they're friends is that they've tagged one another in little 'friendship' quotes. I knew they would end up communicating, because even though they had just met each other the first day that Leila was up here in Tennessee, they were rather friendly with one another and were talkative to each other. I can tell though. Something about Leila drives Brian crazy. You could tell by his sudden change in facial expressions once I said the song was about her. You can tell every time I ever talk about her. His whole personality and expressions change. 

He can't actually be with her, can he?

I wouldn't think so... 

Besides, wouldn't she be too busy with work plus college to worry about a significant other right now, anyways? 

That was always one of our issues. 

Her schedule was totally different from mine which caused lack of communication and lack of time spent together. During the day, I would be sleeping because I would be up all night long the previous night playing bars and stuff to promote my songs. During those times, Leila was asleep because of work and tiredness from school. She never worked around our arrangements. She claimed she was too busy.  But then again, I wouldn't work around the times either. We're both to blame in this. If she wouldn't have broken it off to begin with, though, this would have never happened. I still, partly, blame her for it though. 

Part of me hated the fact that her and Brian could, or already are, a couple. But then another part of me still held a grudge against Leila and was praying that they would get together only for her to be hurt again and realize I would be the only one that would ever want her... 

"Dude, it's been almost five months. Don't you think it's time to find a girl that you could actually be able to have a relationship with?" Brian replied. 

What the hell does he mean by that... 

"What is that supposed to mean? I've been with her before. I could get her back any chance I got." I replied, smugly. 

"Really, Sam? How? She's so screwed up, mentally and emotionally now. She's broken. She has trust issues now. She's scared to love someone again. All because you abandoned her and her unborn child, that she lost. You know why she lost it? Because of so much stress. Between college for her, work, and the stress that you put on her because you never wanted to grow up and settle down like a real man would do. She'll never be the same, Sam. She's fucked up. It's not temporary. That damage is permanent. Yeah, she may get better with support and love from those around her, but she'll never be over all that damage and hurt, completely. Okay? I don't dislike you. I don't blame you for what you did. If you hadn't have done everything the exact way that you did, you may not even have a career right now. What I'm saying is, I don't agree with what you did. There were other ways that you could have went about the things that happened. I don't know about the rest of the male population in this world, but if my future girlfriend, or even my ex came up to me and told me that she was pregnant with my child, or that her child was mine, I would do everything I could do to make sure that child has the best childhood and life that it could have. Whether it meant being with the child's mother, or working it out in another way. I would've never abandoned my child. Nor would I have shown literally no emotion when I found out that it was a miscarry."  Brian replied. 

What a fucking dick. 

"You act like I'm the bad guy. She didn't want to be with me. She didn't want to be with me until she found out she was pregnant with her kid." I replied, defending myself. 

"Also, how do you seem to know so much about her?" I added.

"Her and I've been talking. Tyler and her have talked quite a bit too. When we're on tour in Florida next month, we're gonna try and carve out time to hang out with her. She's freaking nice as hell, Sam. I can't believe you were too stupid to realize that. It's too late now. From experience, I honestly don't think you will be able to get her back. Not from what she said. She's trying to move on, Sam. Not bring back memories that she doesn't want," He replied. 

Fuck.

~ Brian's Point of View~

I can't believe this... I wish I would have never asked who the song was about. I should've known it was about Leila. That's what pisses me off. Leila is an amazing girl. She has the greatest personality, the best sense of humor, and this wild adventurous side. She's pretty much any ones dream girl. It just sucks that she's had to go through everything she has been through with Sam. She doesn't deserve it. 

Her and I talk a lot. It's rare if we don't at least text each other each day. If we aren't on the phone or texting, we're Snapchatting or FaceTiming one another. I guess you could consider us best friends. Tyler has noticed. He talks to her quite a bit, but no where near as much as what I do. 

I cannot wait until next month when we're on tour in Florida and we can meet her again. Hanging out with her for the two weeks that we're in Florida will be so much fun. Not only that, but it will be nice to be back in my home state for a while. 

Saying I'm 'excited' is the least that could be said. More like impatient as can be. 

I'm honestly really starting to like Leila. I haven't said anything to anyone yet about it, not even Tyler. I guess I kind of need to soon, though. At least before Sam wins her back, if he's able too.
