Thorns and Needles : ON HOLD

Chapter Eight- Pitch Perfect

Rey was sitting down in her new apartment, the city of New York alive outside and her feet hanging off the couch in pain , wearing heels all day wasn't fun .

She tied her red hair into a ponytail and yawned. Tired from the show and then the early minding radio interview .

Her phone began to ring and she picked it up.

"Hello ?" She asked , voice soft trying to keep it from going wacko from the amount of signing she had done lately.

"Rey? It's me Ben... Woah , your voice sounds like crap... I'll be right over bye-"

"Ben I -" then he hung the phone up and then she sighed .

About 30 minutes later there was a knock at her door , she opened it to see Ben with bags of food , some box and a movie .

"You sound like your dying -"

"Vocal rest" she sighed "what's all this ?"

"Chinese food , a steamer for your dying throat and the best movie of all time ..." He said .

"Which is ?" Rey asked closing the door behind him and following him to her kitchen.

"Pitch Perfect... Dude ... Like ... My mom like loves Anna Kendrick and made me watch this ... You will no regret this !" He said putting the movie down.

"Okay... Do you want something to drink or -"

"You sit down on the couch and start the movie I'll get some tea for you and get the food on the plates" he said walking to to the kitchen.

About five minutes later the movie had started and Rey was under some blankets , Chinese food on her lap and tea on the coffee table in front of her .

"I could so see you as Becca" Rey laughed as she took a sip of her herbal tea.

"Me ? Becca ? Why ?" Ben asked using his chopsticks and failing as he tried to ear fried rice .

"The whole ... Emo thing"

"Why ? Just because I own tons of beanies , listen to My Chemical Romance and enjoy being the family disappointment ?" He joked.

"A little" she smiled and then they went back to watching the film.

Rey and Ben had finished their Chinese food and the movie and we're currently playing an intense game of candy land .

"Why music ? Why did you pick music as your outlet ?" Rey asked as she was shuffling the game cards.

"I guess ... It's because you don't have to be normal ... You can be yourself ... Depending on your record label of course " he smiled . "Why flower shop ?"

"I like flowers ... And it's natural ... I grew up in Santa Fe , where the word flower doesn't exist ... It rained once or twice a year and it was hot nonstop ... The only thing I could keep alive was my pet rock"

"Rey? Are you happy here ?"

"What do you mean Ben ?" She asked .

"I mean ... I kinda guilted you into this ... I feel bad and all...-"

"Ben" she grabbed ahold of his firm hand "I'm happy... I'm in New York City , I have a record deal ... I have great friends and ... Never did I think I would be someone people look up to ..." She rubbed his hand with her thumb .

"I know it's just ... What if you didn't want this life ?"

"Did you ?" Rey raised an eyebrow.

"I wanted the music ... Maybe not a band like this ... But I wouldn't have it any other way ... Would you ?" He asked taking his hand from her and brushing the loose piece of red hair back .

"No ... I wouldn't" she smiled . "Ben can I ask you do me a big favor ?" She asked close to him .

"Sure "

"Ben will you - design me a tattoo? Something really meaningful... "

"Something really meaningful?" He asked grabbing ahold of her hand again.

"Yeah... Please ?"

"Anything for you Rey" he kissed the top of her head "I should be going ... It's getting late ... By Rey"

"Bye Ben"
