Lento

Chapter 4

You and Lauren spend a good few hours writing the song. You tell a dumb joke and it makes you two burst out laughing. After you calm down, you continue writing.

"How comes you have your hood up?"

"I like it up."

"But it's not even raining or cold?"

"I know. I like it up and plus i have bed head." You say.

"Come on kid."

The door opens.

"Have you two got anything?" Simon asks.

"Yeah. We're just finishing up the lyrics." Lauren says.

Simon leaves. Your phone rings. It's your mom.

"Fuck. One second."

You stand up and go outside.

"Mom? What's up?"

"You had any food today? You're account still has the same money as before."

"Oh i-uh-i wasn't hungry today. I probably wont have anything at lunch either."

"Y/n you need to eat to take your tablets."

"Can i not take them with water or something?"

"No. When you were diagnosed, the doctor said to take them specifically with food." Your mom says.

"But I'm not hungry." You say.

"Just a sandwich. At least a sandwich."

"Fine. Okay. A sandwich."

The call ends. Callie walks around the corner.

"Callie?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you go buy me a sandwich from my school? Mums making me take the tablets with food and she's gunna be a little suspicious."

"Fine. What's your pin?"

"Bitch please you know it." You say.

"You are lucky i love you."

She hugs you and leaves. You pull your hood back up and go inside. You see Lauren writing.

"Sorry about that."

"It's fine."

You sit down.

"You have anything?" You ask.

"Uh... yeah."

"Can i see?"

She passes the paper to you.

I'm sitting eyes wide open, and I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life, oh

Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?

You nod.

"That's really cool. I think we're really getting there with the song. I really appreciate this by the way."

"Honestly, dont worry about it. When i got the call, i was all in on it. I was looking forward to it."

You smile. You and Lauren continue working on the song until Callie turns up with your food.

"Thanks."

You put it in your bag and put your bag on the floor.

"Mum made me get it. It's so i can take the tablets the doctor gave me. I dont think i need them. They're pointless." You say.

"What are the tablets for?"

"I have adhd. I take them to keep me calm."

"You have adhd?"

"Yeah. It's not always obvious. Only when i dont take the tablets." You say.

"I do suggest you take the tablets. I'm talking to a friend who has adhd on twitter." Lauren says.

Your eyes widen. You just told Lauren that you have adhd. You told her on twitter. However she didn't realise anything.

"They're annoying." You say.

"I get they might be annoying but you have to take them."

"Fine. You want the second half?"

"Sure."

You two share the food. You take two tablets and swollow them.

"They fucking suck." You whisper.

You both start finishing the song.

"You have your parts?" You ask.

She nods. You two head to the recording studio and give the words to the song creator. You two then leave. Lauren goes home and you go back to your studio. Callie walks in.

"We have to tell mom about this."

"After the song comes out. I still have school to do." You say.

Callie nods.

"If mom asks, I'm at Lucy's house."

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow."

You fall asleep writing another song.

Okay. So, that was today's chapter. I apologise if things are going a little fast but it will work out in the long run. Bye guys :)
