Chapter 32

Peyton

"Ah Italy" Amir came into my dressing room, a smile on his face "you could at least pretend to enjoy the fact your on tour" he sighed, his face falling slightly

I shrugged "I will, just not today" I reply plainly "have you heard the new song?" He asked. I furrowed my eyebrows "it's been released?" I question

He nodded "yea she released it while we were on the flight over" he explained. I nodded, taking my phone out of my pocket, searching it up on Spotify. My eyes drifted back over to the door, sending him a 'get out' look

He catches on, closing the door behind him as he disappears backstage. I press play on the song, listening to the words as her voice sung all angel like,

"I can be needy..Way too damn needy, I can be needy, Tell me how good it feels to be needed..yea I can be needy, So hard to please me..I know it feels so good to be needed"

I press stop on the song as it finished, sucking in a deep breath. She isn't needy at all. But she's also right, it felt good to be needed..

"Pey!" Vanessa high pitched voice knocked on the door before opening it a few seconds later. I sighed, "yea" I mumble. She pouted, "what's wrong?..I'm so excited for tonight! I finally get to dance with you! Aren't you excited?" She jumped down beside me

I shrugged, "why are you acting like this? You're not really that clueless" I look to her with disbelief. She sighed, her fingers playing with each other "I'm sorry, okay? When I met you on the first day I thought you were really cute..I thought that maybe because you and Sabrina aren't dating, you might be open to something.." she trailed off

"So what was the whole calling her Serena and being rude to her, kissing me just before she opened the door" I question. "It's jealousy! How could I ever compare to her! She's talented, she's beautiful, she could have anything in the world if she wanted, and she had you! I felt insecure and I'm sorry that I may have been the reason she left the tour, I just really wanted to get to know you!" She pleaded

"And you couldn't get to know me by being my friend? By being nice to me? Nice to her? She didn't do anything to you, I didn't do anything to you. We had just released the song, we were on tour together, everything was going great!" I sigh

"I have bad timing! Horrible timing! But if I missed this opportunity then I will never get to again. Like I say, you two weren't ever officially dating, and neither of you told me you were" she responded

"But what's done is done. I'm here now, I'm your dancer, we're going to have to spend time with each other. I promise once you get to know me you'll like me, can we please start over?" She begged

I looked to her slightly annoyed, sighing deeply, "fine..but don't expect much out of me" I reply.
