15. Make Amends
"All I want to know is how long this has been going on for?" Brea asked me as we sat in the car. This was going to be our conversation. I wouldn't even be able to leave this car park.
"It went on before you even left. I didn't think that any of this would happen." I said to her and she looked at me.
"It went on for all that time. You didn't think once to tell me." She said to me and I looked at her. This was going to be hard to tell her.
"No because I didn't even know what we were doing. The only people that knew were Jay and Brooke. Because he came to the exhibition and bought everything." I said to her and she looked at me. She was puzzled now. Trying to think everything though.
"He bought everything? Like every single piece?" She asked me and I nodded. Every single thing.
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter anymore. I ended things with him ten days ago." I said to her and this time she was shaking her head but in a different way.
"You broke up with Hayes Campbell? That gorgeous guy? What happened?" She asked me and I looked at her and shrugged.
"I got scared things went too quickly but god I wish I didn't do that. I was finally making art that I love." I said to her and she looked at me. She was no longer mad. She was sad for me.
"Where is he now?" She asked me and I looked at her. I knew what she would say.
"He's here. In LA at the moment." I said to her and she looked at me. She was giving me that look.
"So, why aren't with him?" She asked me and I looked at her.
"Because how am I meant to find him." I said to her and she looked at me. As if she knew.
"Well, he's most likely going to be recording music and I know what his studio is. I'll text you it. Go after you've dropped me off." She said to me and I looked at her with a smile.
"You actually approve of the two of us?" I asked her and she looked at me and nodded.
"If he makes you happy. I will always approve." She said to me and I smiled at her. She then noticed the box. "What's that?" She asked me and I gave it to her.
"Present from Mateo." I said and she opened her window dropping it.
"I don't need that energy. Now let's go. You've got a guy to see." She said to me and that's when I took her home. I then drove to the studio where I knew Hayes would be. He was in the booth currently.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I took a little time to breathe
Yo
I'm living in the new normal lately
Oh, whoa, whoa
I used to need to catch the beat
Oh, oh
Now I know what to do to keep it
We gonna dance before we walk
Took a shot, and I'm putting it right in the pocket
We gonna dance before we walk
No, oh, oh, oh" He sang and that's when he saw me. Stopping everything. He was just looking at me. In shock that I was here. "Hey, guys, you think you can give me the room for a bit?" He asked and that's when the producers started to leave. Hayes then started walking out the booth. He then made his way before me. "Hi." He said to me and I looked at him.
"Hi." I said to him and he looked at me.
"You okay?" He asked me and I looked at him.
"I hated it but things seem to be better. Look, how I acted and treated you. That wasn't ok at all. I regret it everyday. I'm so sorry. And when you said that this is the part where I was supposed to say that I felt all those things, too. I was scared, nervous. You should know that I do, and I don't think I'll ever stop. I will always feel all of those things. With you, I'm more myself and I feel my alive. I know that nothing I say could make you feel the same. But if you still feel the same then maybe. Just maybe, things won't need to come to an end." I said to him and he looked at me.
"I'm sorry, Y/n. I, um...I wasn't expecting this." He said to me and I nodded at him.
"I completely get that." I said to him and he looked at me.
"I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now with everything that's going on, you know?" He said to me and I nodded at him.
"I can completely understand." I said to him and I nodded at him.
"I just need a moment. You know." He said and it went silent. "All right, I've had a moment." He said and he approached me. Kissing me. I was finally safe again. Back with him. After we pulled away I looked at him.
"We probably need to talk to Brea and the others." I said to him and he looked at me. Taking my hand.
"What about your parents?" He asked me and I looked at him. I couldn't say to them just yet.
"Not yet. My mom went back to Deadwood to see my grandparents and my Papa is still in Tulum. So just the three of them." I said to him and he looked at me and kissed my forehead.
"At least we have a good starting point. I guess we just have to sort things out." He said to me and I looked at him. Taking his other hand.
"How does tomorrow sound? I'll drop you the address." I said to him and he looked down at me and smiled.
"Tomorrow sounds perfect." He said to me as I looked up at him and kissed him.
"Perfect. I shall see you there. But for now, music man get back to recording the song I've heard before everyone else." I said to him and he wrapped his arms around me.
"I guess you do have that privilege." He said to me and I looked at him with a smile.
"And I shall treasure it forever. Now I've got to get back to the studio. But call me." I said to him and he kissed me one more time before letting me go.
"I will. You know I will." He said to me and that's when I left to go back to the studio. Finish off my artwork I'd started. The Hayes Campbell piece that I'd started.
