The Girl Who Worked In A Music Shop

Chapter 7

Phoenix PoV
I woke up on the window seat of the studio, at first I'm confused and then I remember...butterflies fill my stomach and I can't help but smile. I stumble my way down stairs and find my phone, 2 text messages.
The first is from my mum, I procrastinate weather to open it, I give in.
Phoenix Wolfe! How DARE you leave the house without telling me?!? Oh wait till you come home missy!
I regret opening the text as soon as I get to the first word, I decided I'm going to stay in the studio for a bit... I already have all my stuff here. The second text was from Lizzie,
Eyo I'm in town and ready for a rehearsal if you are! The others are here too! And I just picked up a rare Tyler as well! see you in the studio at 12:00 sharp!
It's 11:30, great I'm about to have a full truck load of company over.

I wake up on the window seat, again, for the 5000th time. I almost go back to sleep but then I remember last night, and how perfect it was. I smile and change my hoodie and head downstairs, when I get to the living room all the guys are sitting there waiting for me... Andy looks like he's about to punch someone. I guess there was one minor factor I forgot about, the brawl with Patrick.

"Good morning to you all" I say keeping it cool,
"You seem happier than normal" joe says
"Hmm must be that girl you met up with" Andy mumbles, he's a man of few words.
"Yeah the one he claimed to love after 2days of knowing" added Patrick, his arms where folded and he was looking at me like I had just kicked his dog.
"Woah calm down" I say, close to punching his glasses into his face. Patrick was a great friend he just knew how to hit the wrong buttons. I guess I'm the same with him.
"Why should I calm down when you didn't even finish your sentence last night?" He says,
"I'm pretty sure I did" I was getting annoyed again.
"Did you? Because all I remember is you saying you loved this girl" don't go there Patrick.
"So what if I do?" I say
"You met her 2 days ago how can you say you love her?" That's it.

I lurch forward bringing my first towards his face, he falls back into the sofa glasses cracked. Joe staring at me with wide eyes, Andy pushes In-between us arms outstretched.
"Get out" he says
"W-what?" I say more shocked than everyone else is.
"Leave before I kill you Pete" he says with his serious face on and fists clenched.

I run upstairs and shove some stuff in a back pack, I then return downstairs to see Joe tending to Patrick's nose and Andy by the door leading me out. As I walk past Patrick I can see the tears spilling down his face. What have I done?

Phoenix PoV
Rehearsals where good, Charlie aced the guitar, Cam killed the drums, and Lizzie perfected her bass. I had finally written a song that made sense to me but I didn't show it to any of them, we already had a couple of songs on the go any way.
"That was awesome!" Tyler says as he claps and stands up from his seat, he really was a great friend. Tell him about last night, I hear my brain coaxing me to tell him, it would be great to have someone that knows my situation. Maybe he can help with the whole "trust" thing?

Megan and cam went to go and get lunch while me, Lizzie and Tyler where still in the studio. Tell them, you can trust them. My brain is pushing me again, persuading me, I give in.
"Guys I have something to tell you!" As I say it I can't help but smile!
"What?" Says Lizzie with a sudden look of concern,
"No, no it's not bad! It's actually really awesome!" I say, my smile getting bigger,
"It's about him isn't it" says Tyler with an equal sized grin to me!
"Yes!" I say almost laughing,
"Who! What?!?" Says Lizzie almost falling off her stall. I sit on the window seat and tell them everything, it felt good letting it out.
"Eyy, Phee ha pulled" Lizzie says while winking
"What was his name again?" Tyler adds,
"Pete, Pete wentz" I say still smiling
"Huh, that sounds really familiar.." Lizzie walks over to the CD shelf,
"Huh maybe it's just me" she still looks confused, as if she's know who he is. Weird.

They are equally excited as me when I finish telling them all about it, cam and Charlie came back half way through so I had to explain it all twice, but I didn't mind. He made me happy.they left after an hour of talking after lunch, Lizzie was last to leave.
"Are you sure he's right for you?" She says still with the worried look,
"Lizzie, he makes me feel happier than anyone else I've met" I say blushing
"OK as long as you're happy" she leaves after giving me a concerned hug. She's so good to me!

I go back upstairs, I pick up the CDs cam picked up and left earlier, there was one that I hadn't seen before. I read it, fall out boy, huh I've never seen this band before the title was pretty long,from under the cork tree. The lyrics where incredible, but it sounded like the person writing them was hurt, really hurt. I especially liked the songs, A little less sixteen candles a little more "touch me" and XO. The record inspired me to write again.

I used to write all the time, sometimes the songs would be too happy and other times the would be too personal to use. But this one was different, I felt the words coming from my brain into the paper through the pen. I called it Dont you know who I think I am? The name just had a sarcastic ring to it, I liked it.

Just then he doorbell rang, no one ever rings the doorbell, they often just read the CLOSED sign! I drop my book onto the window seat and head towards the door ready to shout at whoever was there.

Pete PoV
I went to the only place that I felt safe in. Her studio. As I got close to the studio I could see her through the window, her dark hair flopping over her face, I fall for her again. I ring the bell and wait, why am I so nervous?
