So i know i said that i wasn't going to post any chapters until October, but i decided that i was going to post the very first chapter so you all could get an idea of what this book is about and understand a small amount of the story from the blurb.Also i am kind of hoping that posting a chapter might help me gain some views! Anyway here's the first chapter! I hope you enjoy it!!

Arden's POV

"I can't believe he has the actual nerve to ask you to go on tour with him! After everything you two have been through" My best friend,Melissa, shouted frustrated whilst aggressively scratching horns ,with a red sharpie, on a picture she found of him from a gossip magazine. "Its like he's forgotten about all the freakin' terrible things he did to you" she continued 

I glance over at her face, trying to read her expression.She's mad at him. It's clear.And honestly i don't blame her. She is my best friend so it isn't hard to understand why she would be so pissed over this. I wouldn't be surprised if she is more angry than I am.

Looking at me from the corner of her eye, she glares at me.She's mad at me too." Don't think that I'm going to cut you some slack with this.I think your making a bad choice and that your stupid for agreeing to go" she says lowering her voice.

Sighing, I turn my body towards her and gently take the sharpie from her grasp." Lissa I understand why your mad but you have to understand that I still want him in my life despite of everything he has done in the past. I've known him for very long,so i have to suck it up and forgive him.Besides I think the best way to mend our relatio-friendship is to accept his offer and go with him on tour" Giving her a small smile I stand up from my position on the floor and walk towards the kitchen.

I place the marker on the counter then open my fridge and proceed to look for something to eat. As i begin to take out condiments to make a sandwich, I hear Lissa's footsteps make their way into the kitchen.She helps me by taking the foods from my arms as I close the fridge door with my bare foot.Getting everything set out, we begin to make our sandwich.Silence surrounds us as we lay ham , lettuce, tomatoes, and finally cheese on the bread.Before I can even put the second piece of bread to finish preparing my lunch, she speaks up.

" I'm sorry for being so harsh it's just-I just don't want to see you get hurt. I can't let you go through that pain for a second time.....Promise me that you'll be careful"

" I will. I promise"

Fidgeting,she looks at her hand then brings her eyes to meet mine again. " I don't know if you know this already but... he uh..there is a rumor going around that he's bringing her on tour with him too"

I swallow the lump that was beginning to form in my throat and quickly blink the tears away from my eyes.He would do something like that.I don't even have to question the rumor.I know its true.However I put on a smile and nod so she doesn't suspect that i didn't know about this fact. I don't need her thinking that he is a big enough douche to ask me to go on tour with him without telling me that he is bringing her along on the journey. Even though he did exactly that. He forgot to include that small but crucial detail.
