Chapter 14

The Next Day

Lauren POV

I arrive at work, once again, early. I'm actually really grateful that I've come early - that way I get to avoid Demi as much as I can. However, I still have to sit next to her on the panel. 

There's barely anyone here; it's like an abandoned ghost place. With a coffee in hand, I make my way from my car to the recording studio I used the other day. Now that I had finally finished 'Somebody To You', I can start on another song.

Recently, my emotions have been wild and I stayed up all night last night thinking of lyrics. All I need now is the melody.

I gently push my glasses that had fallen to the bridge of my nose back. Oh yeah, I have glasses. Not many people actually know this because I always wear contacts but I had run out. I'll have to find a pharmacy somewhere.

I walk into the studio to find it's empty - nothing out of the ordinary. I grab the closest guitar, sit at a stool, and start to work out some chords which could fit with each other.

After about an hour of strumming, I finally came up with a good tune. I decided to try the notes with the lyrics.

In real life I'm waking up alone
It's one more night you didn't make it home
And one more time you won't pick up the phone
In real life you never bring me flowers
When you're here it's only for an hour
I'm getting used to being on my own

Because in real life you're not what I thought
Real life, this isn't what I want
Guess things aren't always what they seem

But in my dreams, I'm waking up to roses
Champagne, kisses and I know it's always, always
Gonna be, gonna be this way
In my dreams, you're standing right beside me
Two hearts finally colliding
Then I wake up and realise, realise this is real life
Real life, this is real life
Real life, real life
Real life, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh
Real life

In real life it doesn't always work out
People fall in love and then they fall out
Hearts can break and never make a sound

Because in real life you're not what I thought
Real life, this isn't what I want
Guess things aren't always what they seem

But in my dreams, I'm waking up to roses
Champagne, kisses and I know it's always, always
Gonna be, gonna be this way
In my dreams, you're standing right beside me
Two hearts finally colliding
Then I wake up and realise, realise this is real life

Just when I thought this was all real life could be
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Somebody came along and made my dream reality

And now in real life, waking up to roses
Champagne, kisses and I know it's always, always
Gonna be, gonna be this way
In my dreams, he's standing right beside me
Two hearts finally colliding
When I wake up, I realise, realise this is real life

I strum the last chord and take my glasses off quickly before rubbing my eyes, trying to keep the tears from falling. I breathe a shaky breath and return the glasses to my face. I guess I know what song will be on my album next.

Just as I was about to place the guitar down, my phone rang. Sighing at the unknown number, I accept the call.

"Hello, is this Ms Lauren Evans?"

"Yes, who is asking?"

"This is Private Investigator Hamond, you contacted my associate, Benny?"
