What It Takes (Steven Tyler fanfiction)

Chapter 23

Lana's POV

I arrived home 20 minutes later, and I was still crying.
I raced up the steps of the apartment complex and over to Grant's door.
I knocked rapidly, trying to catch my breath.
He opened it and confusion filled his face.
"Lana, what--"
I walked inside and started pacing, with tears still falling down my face.
Grant grabbed my arms to stop me from pacing.
"Lana, what happened?!" He asked.
I looked up at him. "Steven cheated on me.."
"Wait, what? I thought things were going amazing! You're engaged!!"
I chuckled sarcastically, "Yeah, well, so did I! And I walk in, to surprise him, like I told you I was going to, and he's kissing Erin Brady. That fuckin little twat.."
I started crying again, and Grant pulled me in for a hug.
"I thought he loved me. He said I was the only one he wanted. How could he do this to me?!"
Grant rubbed me back comfortingly. "I'm sorry, Lana. That sucks, you don't deserve that."
I let out a chuckle, "Neither of us do."

I let out a breath, and looked up at Grant again.
"Can I stay here tonight? I don't wanna be alone."
Grant smiled genuinely, and gripped my hands.
"Anything for you, Lana. What are best friends for?"
I smiled, and wiped away some tears.
"What would I do without you?"
Grant laughed, "I don't know. Thank god you'll never have to find out. Anyways, you can sleep in my bed, and I'll sleep on the couch."
I smiled appreciatively. "Okay. Thanks, Grant."

Steven's POV

I cursed to myself as I walked to my car, and got inside.
A second later, I heard nails tapping on my driver side window.
"Steven?" Erin said.
I rolled down the window, and glared at her.
"What?"
"Are you okay, baby?" She asked, running her hand through my hair.
I pulled away, moving her hand off my head.
"No I'm not fucking okay. Look what you did."
Erin scowled. "I'm not the only one involved in this."
"YOU KISSED ME!" I shouted.
I let out a breath, to calm myself down, and looked back up at Erin.
"You know how I am, and you took advantage of that. Go the fuck home. This isn't happening ever. I don't know why the fuck you even came to the studio." I spoke after a second.
With a glare and a middle finger up, Erin stormed away, just as Joe was arriving.
He approached my car, and stuck his head in. "Sorry, I'm late. The traffic was fucking nuts. Joey, Tom, and Brad are almost here."
I sighed. "We have to postpone til another time."
Joe gave me a confused look. "Why?"
"I fucked up, man."
Joe chuckled, "And how did you do that?"
"Erin practically fucking broke in to the studio while I was waiting for you guys, because I thought I was the one running late. I asked her to leave and she just ignored what I fucking said, and just gets on me and straddles my lap and fucking kisses me. That's when Lana walked in."
I ran my hands down my face, and let out another breath.
"Shit, Steven. That's fucking bad. What did she do then?"
"She smacked me right across my fucking face." I replied.
Joe's eyes widened. "Wow, I didn't think a chick that tiny had it in her."
I sighed. "I have to go try and fix this. Tell the guys what happened. I'll talk to you later."

1 hour later
Lana's POV

I was sitting on the couch in Grant's apartment watching TV when Grant came in.
"What do you want for dinner?"
I rose an eyebrow. "You're going to cook?"
"No. What kind of takeout you want?"
I laughed, "Just order a pizza."
Grant dialed the phone, and placed the order.
I sat back on the couch, and when he hung up, Grant joined me.

20 minutes later

We were just about to start a movie, when the doorbell rang.
I looked at Grant.
"Wow, that was faster than 30 minutes. I suppose you better tip the guy."
Grant laughed, rolling his eyes playfully, as he got up to answer the door.

When he opened it, I heard a voice.
"I need to speak to Lana."
My heart froze in my chest.
Steven.
"She doesn't wanna talk to you." I heard Grant say.
There was a pause before Steven spoke again.
"Okay. I understand. Just tell her that I'm sorry. And that I love her to the moon and back."
"I will." I heard Grant reply.
Steven said goodbye, and I heard the door close.
I felt tears fill my eyes as Grant came back in the room.
"I heard it all." I muttered before I broke down into uncontrollable sobs.
Grant sat down next to me, pulling me into his arms like the perfect best friend he is, and let me cry on him.
My heart was broken, and I didn't know how long it would take to heal. How could I ever get over Steven?
