~Mitchel's POV~

That night,I couldn't sleep,so I got out of bed,and went downstairs. I was surprised to see Ally at the island in the kitchen. I sat by her. "You too huh?" I asked softly. She nodded and closed her journal.

"You okay?" I asked. She only wrote when her mind wandered to unpleasant places. She softly smiled. "Honestly... I really wanted to punch you in the face at the shoot. I don't know why..." "but all that resentment I let go of... a long while ago... it's coming back.. and I just wish it'd go away.."
"It's just a lot happening at once... and I wish the noise would just... shut up." She sighed. She rested forehead in her palms.

I held her so her head rested on my chest,so she could listen to my heart. Back in school she told me it calmed her. I got up and walked over to the cabinet and grabbed the peppermint hot cocoa. I made us each a mug,and we sat on the couch.

"Do you hate me?" I asked her softly.
She looked up at me and kissed my forehead. "No. I could try with everything I've got.. and I could never.." she replied with a light chuckle. I softly smiled and sat her in my lap.

"I will tell you though... with my way too brutally honest heart.. that I am absolutely fearful... that we have both changed so much since the old days..." "that we'll never again... fit like the perfect puzzle pieces... we were meant to be... well,at least..." "inside my dreams... but I guess my lesson is... like the old proverb..." "we need to learn to get comfy,with being with... uncertainty." she told me.

She softly chuckled. "Well my sister was right.. I really do speak lie I'm song writing when I'm in a mood." She said to herself. "And that's one of the things that I've grown into... I used to be poor with feelings... but now I'm not..." "and you know what they say... if there's one.. there's a whole swarm.." she sighed.

I softly kissed her forehead. "It's okay. Whatever we face,we'll face it together. I won't ever lose you again. I promise." I told her. A smile peaked up on her lips. "There's that smile I adore." She nuzzled her face in the crook of my neck and shoulder. I picked her up and she pointed to the counter. I walked over and grabbed her journal and pen, then we went back to her room,and went to bed.

~The next morning~

I woke up and Ally was sat up beside me. She was writing in her journal with one hand and running her fingers through my hair with the other. I smiled and hugged her hips. She looked down and set her journal aside and set the pen in the nook of her ear. "Good mornin hun." She said with a warm smile. I kissed her hip. "Good mornin Love." I replied fondly.

"Whatcha writing?" I asked. "Just a little thank you letter in the back... this'll be my third book I'll have published... and it's dedicated to a very good friend of mine." "So I thought a nice thank you letter would be nice." She replied. I smiled at her. "That's my girl." I told her. "Can I come with you to the publishing place?" I asked. Her face lit up! "Sure!" She beamed.

"Now why don't you go shower? I know you probably want to since tour's finally done. I'll make your favorite breakfast okay?" She asked. I smiled and nodded. "You're always so considerate." I told her. She smiled. I got up and she kissed my forehead.

I walked to the bathroom and she went downstairs.

~later~

I went downstairs and Ally,Clinton, Kras,and Laura were enjoying breakfast. I grabbed my plate and hugged Ally. "Feel better?" She asked me. "Much,thank you." I replied. She stood on her tip toes and kissed my cheek. "Hey I gotta go publish this book y'all. Mitty's coming with. Cause he begged me to let him come with." Ally said. "Have fun!" Her sister called as we walked out,getting our shoes and jackets on. I grabbed my snapback and put it on Ally. She giggled,and we got in the car and took off.
