Lento

Chapter 11

The next morning, you wake up to your phone ringing. You yawn and sit up.

"What?"

"Morning to you too." Camila says.

"You just woke me up Camila." You say.

She laughs.

"What do you want?" You ask.

"I was wondering if we could record that song today." Camila says.

"Yeah. Check with Ally if this song is alright cos there's some interesting things in it." You say.

"I have. She said it's okay and that's why we're doing it today." Camila says.

"Yeah okay. See you soon." You say

You get dressed and sit with your book.

"You take all my inhibitions." You mutter.

You write it down and start building off of it. A good 30 minutes pass and there's a knock.

"Come in!" You shout while writing the lyrics to your song.

"Hey Y/n."

You turn your head and see Camila.

"Hey. You ready?" You ask.

"Yeah. Lets do this." You say.

You grab your book and go to the booth. Camila goes in first and records her part. Then you go in and do your part. Camila records a little of the song.

"We dance for hours in the same, tequila sunrise
Her body feels right in my hands.
La la la."

Then snaps a few pictures. The music stops so Camila can come in. She puts on headphones and the music starts. You both sing the chrous. Then Camila records her part.

"Out in the hotel,
there's just somethings that never change
You say we're just friends,
but friends don't know the way you taste.
Cause you know it's been a long time coming dont you let me fall."

You come back in and you two record your part together that leads into the chorus. When the song finishes, you two listen to the song before agreeing on it. You two go back to your room and wait while the song is finishing up.

You two talk about songs. You both wonder how the fans are gunna react to the song because it's an interesting song. It wouldn't have happened if Ally hadn't have agreed so it's not all that bad.

"I got a little teaser of the song while you were in there." Camila says.

"Lemme see."

She shows you the photos and the video.

"Put them up. As a little treat." You say.

She laughs and puts them up. Ally calls to say she has to leave because they're doing something.

"I'll text you when it goes up." You say.

She nods and hugs you.

"See you later." She says.

Your phone rings not a second after she leaves. It's Lauren.

"Hey." You say.

"Camila cannot come home." Ally says.

"Why?" You ask.

"It's not safe." She says.

You stand up and run after Camila.

"Camila wait."

"What?"

"Ally said you cant go home yet."

"Why?" Camila asks.

"She said it isn't safe."

"Okay?"

You two go back to your studio room. Camila takes your phone.

"Ally?"

Ally and Camila talk for a while until it's safe for her to go home. You get your phone back and start writing a new song. You scrapped the idea of 'nothing holding me back' for now. Your phone rings again. Unknown number. You dont answer it. They leave a voicemail. You play it.

"You were warned. You're done now."

You frown. You leave your room and look around.

"Bobby?!"

Bobby pops his head around the corner.

"Can you take this voicemail to Simon please? It's on my phone."

He nods and takes your phone. You go back into the room and sit down at your desk. A few minutes pass and someone knocks on your door. You stand and open it to see Brad with a knife.

"You were warned." He says before ramming the knife into your stomach and running.

You drop to the floor. Simon and Bobby are listening to the voicemail. Simon soon figures it out.

"Y/n."

He stands up and runs to your room followed by Bobby to see you with a knife in your stomach on the floor.

"Go call 911!" Simon shouts.

You open your eyes slowly.

"Simon?"

"Hang in there kid. We're getting an ambulance."

"Can you bring my song book please? It's on my desk." You say.

He nods and grabs the book. He passes you the book. Soon the ambulance arrives and you had already passed out from the pain. When you wake up, you're in a hospital room. Your mom and your sister pacing.

"This is why i dont want her in the music industry." Your mom says.

The door opens revealing Lauren.

"Is she okay?" Lauren asks.

"She's still out." Callie states.

"I'm awake." You say.

They whip their heads around to you and immediately crowd you. After a few hours, you're in your bedroom at home writing a new song. You spot an old guitar in the corner of your bedroom. You grab it and dust it off. Then you tune it. It still plays good. Correction, you still play good.

You hear a tapping noise on your window. You look out your window to see Lauren throwing tiny stones. You open the window.

"You know, there is a front door."

"I know but this is important." Lauren says.

"Again, front door. I'll let you in." You say.

Lauren nods. You go downstairs and open the front door.

"How'd you find out where i lived?"

"Long story."

You nod. You both go into your bedroom. She sits on your bed and you sit at your swivel chair.

"So what important thing do you need to talk to me about?" You ask.

What's it gunna be? I wonder. Lemme know what u think.
