CHAPTER 7
~~~~~~~~~~
*Your POV*
"Hey Al!" I called and ran over to him and his friend. "Oh, hi (name)." He said, "Are you walking?" I nodded. "Cool dude! I'll walk with you." He smiled. "Wait what about Mattie?" I asked. "Naw. Matt got sick so he's at home." He told me. "Ok." I agreed and left the school with Alfred to walk home. "(name)? Can I hang out at your house today?" He asked. "Yeah sure!" I smiled. My (h/c) hair flew at my face in the cold air. We walked across the street to my house. "Hey mom!" I shouted. Then my little sister came walking out of her room with sleepy eyes. "Mama left so she wants you to babysit me." Giselle said. "Oh ok." I said then turned to Alfred, "Sorry Al, I don't think we could have some fun today." "No it's fine. I could help." He said. "Woah! Your Alfred F. Jones! (Name) is a huge fan of your's!" My sister shouted, "She kept talking about you and has a poster of you in her room and in her studio downstairs!" I started to blush a really deep red. "Really that's cool little dudette." He smiled to her. "You can look downstairs." Giselle told him. "Ok Giselle. That's enough." I said. Then dragged Alfred downstairs so he can't learn about the other embarrassing about me. "So this is your studio." He said in awe. I chuckled a little, "Yeah." I said. "It's pretty sweet!" Alfred said, "So you do have a poster of me~!" "Uh, yeah." I smiled. "Hey so what do you do here anyways?" He asked me. "I, uh do dance routines and write and compose my songs or do covers of songs I listen to." I tell him. He gleamed with delight, "Really awesome bro! Let's hear it." He cheered. "Uh, sure." I stuttered. Oh great, now his gonna find out it was me! Not good. I can sing a different tune. Yeah! I took a breath and pulled down the mic.

It's been said and done,
Every beautiful thoughts been already sung,
And I guess right now here's another one,
So your melody, can play on and on,
With the best of 'em, you are beautiful like a dream come a live
Incredible, a centerfold miracle, lyrical
You saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song baby
I, I love you like a love song baby
I, love you like a love song baby
And I keep hittin' repeat peat peat peat peat peat

I stop to see him stare at me with an applaud. "Thanks~!" I smiled.

*Alfred's POV*
(name) was really good. She sounded like the message was actually for someone. "You were really good." I told her, "Why haven't I heard you like this before?" "Because I don't sing in front of crowds anymore." (Name) told me. "Why not? You sound almost as good as Rockerella." I told her. "Come with me." She told me. I followed her to a picture at one side of her studio. "This is my grandmother." She told me. "So?" I asked. "So, she's the one who helped me build this with my dad." She explained, "She thought that I'll be a singer someday so she and my dad built this studio as a birthday when I was twelve. I gave her a concert when ever I saw her or whenever she would ask." "Ok I see. What happened to her." I asked. "That's what I wanted to tell you." (name) said, "When we lived on the bad side of town, grandma got sick. When we all moved here we had spent most of our family money. So even though she was better she became sick again." Then she let out a sad sigh that made me know what had happened to her. "She died, six months ago." She finally said, "Because we spent our money on this house we didn't have enough to take care of her, I never sang in front of people after that. Now I just study and try to find a way to earn money for my parents that's why I was at Alice's babysitting Peter." I never knew (name) had this type of life. Why didn't Matthew tell me? Why didn't she tell me? I want to help her. I want her to be happy. "Oh, I'm sorry (name) I shouldn't have asked." I apologized. "It's fine Alfred." She smiled weakly, "When I have time for singing I'll sign up for a competition."

*Your POV*
I know I shouldn't have told him. He might think of me as something else now. "(name) I can give you the money to help." He told me. "No. No it's fine I have enough charity to last for a life time." I said, "I don't want you to waste your money on me." "Ok alright." Alfred said to me. We walked up to see mom in the kitchen feeding Giselle."Hello (Name)." She smiled then she noticed Alfred, "You must be (Name) friend, Alfred. It's nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too Mrs. (last name)." Alfred said, "Well I got to go. Bye (name)." He said then went out the front door towards his house.

~~~BRIEF TIME SKIP (TO YOUR ROOM!)~~~
I jumped on my bed and grabbed out my macbook to see on my Deviantart account to see a note from someone. I clicked on it to see what it read:
                                                            hi (name)! u probably don't know "us" but we no u. Anyway check this
                                                            video out and see what your little popstar best friend has been saying about
                                                           u behind ur back---> [link]

I clicked it to see a video of him saying that I'm shy and stubborn and that he likes Alice more than me, even though he broke up with her. My feelings for him turned to angry and hate. Why did I even like him in the first place? He was just playing with me? Did he just feel sorry for me? I wanted to cry but I can I don't want to feel like I was a shame for liking him in the first place. I knew I had two friends I can truly count on and I know they can help. I grabbed the phone and dialed in Elizabeta's number. "Hello?" She answered. "Liz? Are you on you DA?" I asked "Yes. Why?" she wondered. "I'm going to send you a note someone sent me and it just hurt ok?" I told her while sending her the note. I didn't hear her for a moment but heard the video play. "Woah. He said that about you?" She said. I nodded, even though she can't see it she knew. "That's not right!" She shouted. "I know." I said glumly. "You should for get about him." Liz told me, "You should go for Arthur. He's really sweet~. " "Maybe." I said to her, "But I don't think I can be in a relationship right now." "Oh, I see. But I'm gonna send it to Mattie and Michelle, ok?" She asked. "Fine." I told her, "Bye." Then hung up. After I had brushed my teeth and went into my room without eating, I locked the room and climbed in under the covers and started to cry on my pillow as I fell asleep.

~~~TIME SKIP (NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL)~~~
The next day I saw Matthew without Alfred. I sighed in relief. "Matthew, hi!" I said. "Oh, uh hi (name)." He said, "I'm sorry about what my brother said." He apologized. "It's fine I knew this would happen if I fell in love with a singer like him." I told him, "I would just get hurt." Just then Alfred came by with Arthur talking about which was better hamburgers or scones. "Got to go." I told him then left. "Hey (name)!" Alfred called to me. I didn't respond. It was good it was loud and full of other students so I can have an excuse.

*Alfred's POV*
Today seemed as if (name) was back to her normal self, being shy and hating me. Whoa hold up, she hates me again? I thought we were friends what happened. She kept avoiding me, not dare to speak with me. Something was up. It seemed like (name) was acting like the first day we met. The strange thing is, is that BTT and Alice were hanging out a lot now. And she kept trying to flirt with me even though I have feelings for (Name). She's the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen with her mischievous (e/c) eyes and her beautiful (h/c) hair. I can't stand seeing her sad. I wonder if Alice had anything to do with her or BTT? I should ask them at lunch.
