It's Not That Easy.

Chapter 6

Justin's POV

"Yo man, over here." I lifted up the empty cup in my hand.

The guy chuckled at me. "Damn man. take it easy over here." he said as he gave me another shot of alcohol.

I wasn't drunk. Not yet anyways. I ended up going to some bar that was a couple miles away from the house. I had to get rid of this pain and hurt I was feeling. All of this stress is just weighing me down and I can't take it anymore. This might be my first time drinking like this but it doesn't mean that Melanie won't find out. Besides, there weren't any of those stupid paparazzi following me. I think.

I was interrupted when someone grabbed my hand, "Hey there sexy."

I turned around to see a blonde wearing... nothing literally. I rolled my eyes and turned around on my sit to face the guy who handed me another drink. I may be upset with Melanie but I won't cheat on her.

"Oh come on, you know you want me." She purred in my ear, seductively.

I simply shrugged her off, "Fuck off." She was starting to annoy me.

She wouldn't go away and kept rubbing my arms and shoulders. "Let's go." She whispered in my ear, slightly tugging my arm.

I knew she wouldn't give up so I turned around with a smirk, "Alright fine." I saw her smirk as well. "I'll meet you in the bathroom, let me just finish my drink." She nodded and before she turned away, I grabbed her and whispered. "Be ready." I heard giggle and walk over to the bathrooms.

I turned back around and quickly drank the shot of alcohol before grabbing my keys and wallet. I did a slight wave at the guy who looked at me with a smirk, knowing what I had just did. "Persuasive." He said while chuckling. I grinned.With that, I walked out of the bar. Fuck no was I going to meet that whore in the bathroom. I'm not that kind of guy.

Jumping into my car, I can slowly feel the alcohol taking over. I shook my head, trying to get rid of the blur in my eyes and drove my ass over to the studio even though it was already 4 in the morning.

I closed the door behind me and grabbed one of the guitars that was hanging on the wall. I started messing around with a few strings, ending up with a sweet tune. Thinking back, I remembered how happy Melanie and I used to be. We used to perfect. No troubles. No tears. None of that. Just all smiles and enjoying each other's company. I missed that.

Then I remembered this whole distance between us. Everything is overwhelming. My family, fans, friends, wife and daughter. She doesn't know that there are so many reason why I love her. She doesn't know how one simple smile of hers can brighten my whole day. And Alana. My little girl. She doesn't know what's going on between her mom and dad. She doesn't know how hard it is for me to see her grow up without me. I try to make time for them but this career is too much sometimes.

Scooter doesn't understand sometimes. He doesn't understand that I just need to be with my family. But he's the reason why I'm here. I can't just disappoint him and cancel everything that he's planned for me. That's why I can't seem to man up and talk to him about giving me a break.

I ended up grabbing a notepad during the process of thinking and ended up with a song that matched with everything going on between Melanie and I. It was already 5:30 am but I didn't care. I grabbed the guitar and began singing, letting the music take me away.

Across the ocean, across the sea,

Starting to forget the way you look at me now
