*Chrissy's PoV*
Natalia Lacunza
Why did I accept this? I do not like airports. At. All. It is filled with a sense of lost that you can't ignore. It's a place with way too many goodbyes for my taste.
But it's my job to meet this girl. Natalia. I haven't heard shit of her so I think it's one of those girls that came to build a career here.
"Hello..." greeted a girl with short black hair and her nose pierced.
"Natalia?" I asked looking at her.
"Yes... I'm guessing you are my producer." She inquired.
"Chrissy. It's a pleasure to meet you." I shook her hand and helped her with the bags.
"So... What's the plan?" She asked waling next to me with her guitar and hand bag.
"I'll drive you to the hotel, we have breakfast and then we go to the studio." I showed her my plan and smiled.
"Nice plan. I'm in." I like this girl... She is quite nice.
I opened the door and Natalia helped me to put all the bags inside my car.
"So... How do you define your style?" I asked igniting the engine.
"I don't know... I like to sing and write from what I feel... And what I feel only." She explained.
"Awesome so working with you is getting to know you." I commented.
"I guess you could say that." She muttered.
This will be a blast.

"So... We can pass then to a strings solo... Where the viola had the main melody... And finally we add the last chorus." I thought out loud looking at the studio.
"That should be great! We record it tomorrow?" She asked finishing her third cup of coffee.
"Sure. You should go get some rest... It's almost 9 pm..." I started.
"Yeah... Ehm... Would you drive me there?" She asked.
"Sorry princess. I'm a musician, NOT an Uber driver." I said putting my headphones off.
She put her arms around my back and took my headphones off.
"Come on... I need a ride." She begged.
I grinned. This kid looks so large and strong but she is insanely cute and small inside.
"Fine. Let me just shut everything down." I said getting up from my spot.

"Thanks for the drive." She said closing the hotel door behind me.
"It's cool. It's fun spending time with you." I shrugged.
"I agree... Even though you are a depressed fucker." She laughed.
"You are weird..." I said taking my place at the sofa.
"And you are an alcoholic." She said.
"You are quite an observer ass." I complained.
"Now tell me. Why are you depressed and an alcoholic?" She asked sitting next to me.
"Wow girl! That's a story I can only tell with a LOT of vodka in my blood. " I laughed and laid back on the couch.
"So it was a girl..." She said.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"I'm and observer. Life is easier when you understand people..." She started.
"But it's more fun with people. I have a feeling you are a loner." I ended.
"So you are also an observer." She commented with a grin.
That smooth fucker.
"So... Wanna catch a drink?" She asked after a while.
"Of fucking course." I said getting up from my seat.
"Do you have any favorite bar?" She asked putting her jacket on.
"Not really... There's this bar I worked at... It's chill." I said.
"Then that's where we are heading." She said opening the door and flying out.
I closed the hotel door when I saw her.
A cute small girl with long brown hair was entering the same hotel with a huge brown bag.
Her walk... I could recognize her anywhere. What the fuck is Kate doing here?!
"Natalia. Go and help her please." I ordered my singer.
She did as I asked while I took my phone and texted someone I haven't seen in 5 years.
Chrissy: WHY THE FUCK IS SHE HERE?!
Soph: Oh my god you do have my phone number!
Chrissy: ANSWER ME! WHY IS KATE HERE?!
Soph: She found you already? :o
Chrissy: WHY THE FUCK IS SHE HERE?! No. She hasn't found me. And after the last time we saw each other I doubt she wants to see me...
Soph: Her friends bought her a month of vacations after she graduated. I bet she does.
Chrissy: She was damn clear the last time I went to town. So what has changed?
Soph: I gave her one of the letters. The only one I could keep.
Chrissy: You are seriously stupid. WHY DID YOU DO IT?
Soph: She misses you. I'm sure of it. That's why.
Chrissy: She forgot about me. And it's the best for all of you if it stayed like that...
Soph: You are a coward.
Chrissy: I hurt her enough. Make sure she forgets about me.
Soph: Find her and grow a pair.
I locked my phone after that text.
"Fucking perfect." I muttered.
"Now. Who was she?" Asked Natalia returning to me.
"The girl." I just replied and opened my car door. "Hop in. I need a lot of vodka tonight."
She got in in silence. Thank god.
"So... What happened?" She asked after the third beer.
"I was her bully until I truly met her. I fell in love and I think she did too... But after a car accident she forgot everything about me... Except the part where I bullied her." I told roughly.
"That's hard." She commented ordering another round.
"When she told me to go... Worst day of my life..." I drank another beer.
"Don't lie. It was the last day of your life."
"You are fucking right. I went back home once to see her, maybe time made her remember... But I made it worse." I started crying.
"Hey... You couldn't have known." She put her hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah... Now. What's your story?" I asked changing the topic.
"Her name is Alba. She is from Spain too." She started.
"What's with her?" I asked.
"I've known her for a while now... And I've grown fond of her. I'm in love with her... But I'm too afraid or what would happen when I tell her the truth." She continued. "So I sing to her, without her knowing until one of us dies. Because I curse everyday not having the courage to just call her and tell her: "Hey Alba wanna go on a date?" and life is just a blur because of it." She told her story looking at the sky.
I lifted my beer.
"This is to us and not having enough balls to be honest with ourselves." I yelled.
She copied my gesture and we drank a little more.
"My place is close. We can spend the night there. In the morning we go to work." I offered.
She agreed and we went to my apartment.
"Classical depressed home." She said as she entered.
"Fuck you Spain. Come. We can sleep in my bed." I said showing her the way.
"No sex?" She asked jokingly looking at my bed.
"No. We sleep. Take from my closet something to wear and get into bed, I'll go for a drink." I ordered and left my bedroom.
I went to the kitchen and drank a glass of orange juice. When I got back in my bedroom she was already in bed, asleep. I put my pijamas on and did the same.
I looked at her as I fell asleep, she is beautiful. Alba is a lucky girl.
And I'm the unlucky bitch of the story.
"Kate." I whispered and fell asleep.

A/N: Yep I ship Albalia so what?! A small chapter to start this agony... enjoy.
Love ya 💜
