Y/N's POV:

It's been a couple of long and hard weeks of hard work and long nights. Hard work that's been put into making and completing the Stitches music video. Long nights filled with questions based on what the hell my love life and personal life has come to. I've been so involved with my work, that I haven't realized how alone I really am. Of course, I have Ariana, and Scott, and James, and all my other friends and co-workers, but I don't have someone to hold when I go to sleep at night. I don't have someone to love when I feel I have too much. I don't have someone to kiss when my hormones start acting up. And I don't have someone to touch when I feel so damn alone and lost that I don't understand what's happening anymore. 

Anyways, Stitches and the music video is out and it blew up like crazy. Currently, it's almost at one billion views, which is extremely insane. There's only about 5 days until I can release my album, so we're really just doing a shit ton of interviews. We ended up making a music video for Dusk Till Dawn as well and we plan to release that today. And currently, we're making another music video for my song 'Let Me Down Slowly' but with the feature, so Alec Benjamin will be in it. "Snap out of it Y/L/N! We've got to finish this mate." My director, Luke, says and I nod, shaking my head a little bit to clear my thoughts. "Are you alright?" He asks and I nod, giving him and Alec a small smile as he grabs my shoulder for comfort. "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's finish this!" I announce and everyone cheers as we continue shooting.

Eight hours later, the music video is complete and a yawn escapes my lips. "Good job Y/N. It was fun doing this with you." Alec says as he walks up to me. I turn around and smile at him. "It was great working with you too. Hopefully, we can work together again soon?" I ask and he immediately nods with a smile. "Of course. You have my number and I have yours. I'll see you soon, alright?" He asks and I nod with a wide grin. "Yep. See you soon." I say and friendly wink at him before walking over to Scott, who's calling me over. "What's up Scoot?" I ask and he nods at me with a grin. "I need to tell you the plans don't I?" He says playfully and I playfully roll my eyes, nodding. "Sure.." I say and he chuckles at my sarcastic tone.

"Well, good news. Since you and Alec finished the music video, we're basically done for today. The only thing left to do is go to the meeting with Monte to discuss what's gonna happen after the album is released and when we wanna release the DTD video and this video." He says and I nod, but look at him confused. "DTD?" I ask and he looks up from his phone. "Dusk Till Dawn? DTD?" He says and I chuckle, giving him a thumbs up and a nod before leaving the studio and heading down to the meeting room where Monte would be. Yes, we recorded the Let Me Down Slowly mv on a green screen in the Republic Records building, we didn't need to go to a fucking abandoned place so I wont. Less work, the better, sometimes. 

I walk into the office and Monte immediately stands up to greet me. "Y/NN! Only my favorite new artist currently. How's it going?" He asks, wrapping me in a hug as I wrap my arms around his torso. "Tired, but everything is going well currently thanks for asking. You?" I ask as I un-wrap my arms, him doing the same. 

"I'm splendid! Especially when I see that a hard worker like you is becoming extremely successful." He says and I give him a big smile. "Thanks Monte, I appreciate it." I say and he smiles, nodding as we take a seat. "Sorry I'm a little late, had to finalize some things with the music video." Scooter says as he walks in and I smile at him as Monte smiles and nods. "Of course. It's all good. Please, sit, let's get started." Monte says and Scooter takes his seat before we get started.

So, we talk about what we want done after the album, and we come to the conclusion that we're gonna go straight into another, smaller, album. There will be no deluxe, I'll just make another album with the other songs I've already written. I was just gonna say we can try for a tour but then I realized I could put together another album in the matter of a week. So as soon as the album comes out, I celebrate and then get right back to work. That way I'll have more songs to do on a huge tour, I'll have more popularity to make a higher profit out of the tour, and I'll have more time to chill back since I'll have to wait a couple weeks for them to setup the tour and for the album to get as much popularity as possible. 

"Alright, it's set. Before we get into anything else, Y/N, what do you want this upcoming album to be based around this time? Most of your songs currently are slow and a little sad, are you gonna go for a more upbeat little album this time?" Scooter asks and I sit back and think about it for a second. "Sure. That sounds like a plan mate." I say with a smile and he nods, writing it on his phone notes. "Now that I think about it, I have several songs that are a bit upbeat that I can use for the album. The question is, what should I call it?" I say and then ask the question to myself as I pull my lyric book out of my back pocket.

 "Well, first of all, this is a big step. I'm all for It, but the real question is, are you?" Monte says and leans onto the wooden table. "Of course. I'm always ready to work, been doing it all my life. I'm not worried about the extra songs I'll be rehearsing on tour. I'm a dancer, It'll be easier than you think." I say and give him a look, basically telling him to not doubt me. He nods and leans back. "Now, here's the songs. What should I name this album as?" I say, and once again whisper the question to myself.
