hey! Please check out the new trailer for this book (linked on the side)! I just made it and I worked really hard on it so it would be really cool if you checked it out! :) I also think the trailer helps tell Neil and Chandler's story a little better, so yeah! Anyway, thanks for reading. Enjoy!

Neil

My heart felt as if it fell out of my chest as I immediately turned around and dashed out of Chandler's bus.

I couldn't think. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't just believe I walked in on Chandler and Sam making out. I didn't even know they liked each other. How could I be so clueless?

Chandler

"What was that?!" I said as I pushed Sam off of me.

He gave me a funny look, "What do you mean?"

"I swear I heard the bus door, Sam."

"There's no one out there, Chan!" Sam reassured me while laughing a little.

I rolled my eyes. I had to be cautious though. I couldn't risk anybody finding out about this relationship yet.

"Whatever... Hey don't you have sound check?" I asked.

Sam looked at his phone and cursed, "I'm late! Oh my God!!"

I laughed as I watched him gather his things quickly and run out of my bus.

"Bye Chan! Love you!" He called as he ran out the door.

"Love you too." I responded, although Sam couldn't hear because he was already long gone.

Paisley

I walked out into the arena and took eveything in. I watched as the crew was finishing up the construction of the stage, the event staff setting up the floor chairs, and the band members milling about for sound check.

I watched from a distance as Sam and his tiny band took the stage to begin their soundcheck. I know the media and our label probably expected us to begin dating. But, if I wanted to get somewhere in this buisness quickly, I had to set my standards higher than that. I needed to go for someone who I could gain fame from quickly.

I looked around the arena and that's when I got a brillant idea.

I saw Reid sitting one of the third row seats watching Sam and his band play.

Reid was perfect. I could use him for extra media attention and to boost my career. He was even kind of hot.

Neil

It had been about an hour since my whole run in with Chandler and Sam and I still hadn't told anyone. I couldn't get the image out of my head. It was haunting me.

I walked through the arena hallways backstage, by myself. As I was walking, I ran into a person that came out of one of the many rooms.

"Oh sorry!" The woman apologized as we crashed into each other.

When I looked up it was the one person I least expected though. It was Chandler.

"Oh, hi Neil!" She said happily. She obviously didn't know that I knew. Standing here, face to face to her I couldn't not say anything. I had to not ask her.

"So how long have y'all been together?" I asked in a sour voice.

Her face completly changed. Chandler's eyes widened and the color immediatly drained from her face, "What are you talking about?"

"I saw you and Sam earlier in your bus Chandler!" I said a little louder this time.

That's when she lost and grabbed my arm and pulled me into the room she had previously come out of.

I watched as she slammed the door and turned around to face me, "How do you know about that Neil?!"

"I saw you!" I repeated, "How could you even do that to me? To us? I thought things were getting better between us?!" I yelled at her.

She walked towards me and I could see the anger and fear in her eyes, "Neil, STOP. TALKING. This is all your fault! You hurt me last year in Vegas! You started this!"

"Chandler, you know it was all a missunderstanding! It was all a mistake. How many times do I have to say, I'm sorry for that!" I begged.

I watched as her eyes became teary and her voice began to crack, "Breaking up with you was not a mistake."

Before I could react there was a knock on the door, "Chandler! They need you for sound check!" A man called to her inside the room.

And without giving it another thought, just like the day she left a year ago, she turned around and began to leave the room.

"Chandler..." I begged again for her to stay.

My attempt didn't work though because she didn't even hesitate as she walked out the door. And once again, left me alone. And here I was, once again, falling for the girl who was falling out of love with me. And there was absolutley nothing I could do about it.
