I made some space so Cedric could sit on the bed next to me.He had rolled up Sven's long-sleeved shirt and you could only guess what kind of defined muscles were hidden underneath. He switched on the bedside lamp and it took me a few seconds to get used to the bright light.Cedric looked around my room, a slight smile on his lips."That's how I imagined your room," he said thoughtfully.I nervously kneaded the hem of my top.“Big window with a big desk in front of it, a small wardrobe for a girl. No dressing table, just a small mirror .. but countless pictures, that's exactly how I thought ”.He fixed his gaze on the photo wall behind my back.Pictures of Sven, Ella, my parents and friends at the time, but also places that inspired me in the past. That was all before the accident, but I never really felt like sorting out.These people, whose faces were depicted in the pictures, I had no contact with at all. "What d

"You have what?" Ella screamed angrily and looked at me with wide eyes. "Psht, don't be so loud," I snapped at her. A big grin crept into my best friend's face."Uuuuund?" She asked, wiggling her eyebrows.“What and?” “Ari, don't let everything pull out of your nose. The kiss, how was it? ”She asked interested."Good .. he was good," that was more than an understatement. That was the best thing I had done in my life."Well? So that's it? It was good? The whole damn woman world wants to kiss Cedric Wesley and you say it was good? "She raised her eyebrows in disbelief.I sighed. "It was more than good, satisfied?" "Say that you thought it was awesome!"I rolled my eyes.Why had I told Ella all this again?“It was damn perfect, okay? Better than the damned woman's world can imagine. And that's all I say, "I crossed my arms."Did that stick with the one kiss?" I felt like I was being interrogate

"So .. let's get to your new album. Which song do you like best personally? “, The comedian asked after the screaming girls calmed down a bit."Well, my favorite is Broken Strings," Mason said with a grin."And why?" George Willis continued.“Our songs aren't often about love, but Broken Strings are. It's something special, that's why ”. "Is Broken Strings your favorite song?""No," Cole interfered. “I'm not into love smacking. My absolute favorite is party all night ”.“We have already set up your instruments over there. Which song do you want to perform? "“Our fans can decide that”, Cedric winked cheekily at the audience.The screeching started again immediately."Well, let's do it like this. Now I'll give you the two songs to choose from and you have to shout, applaud, trample and the louder applause will be performed ”, Willis made an offer to the audience.I saw

There was a knock on the door."Ari, open the door," I heard Michael's voice say.I grumbled tiredly and buried my face under the oversized pillow.“Ariana. I'll talk to you ”, there was another knock on the door."Michael, shut up," I muttered and made no move to get up."I'm kicking the door in," I heard his amused voice.Annoyed, I got up with limp limbs and strolled to the door. "What?" I greeted him unfriendly.Michael's eyes widened. "What happened to you?" He asked."Don't ask," I wiped my face and ran back to my bed, where I buried myself under the covers. I felt the mattress sink."Do you want to talk?" I shook my head. "Is it because of Cedric?" He pulled the covers off my head."Let me. I don't want to talk, ”I said frustrated."Okay .. but if you want, you can tell me why black mascara graces your cheeks"."I'll come back to it," I let him know."I just came over

It was evening. The sky of Chicago was covered by a few scattered clouds, the cool wind blew colorful leaves.I pulled my jacket tighter around my body. I didn't want to go back in. Hospitals made me breathe. Nowhere did I feel more uncomfortable than in these bacteria-infested buildings.Someone sat quietly next to me.Cedric.I looked at him for a moment, but he made no move to say anything. Like me."Aren't you even talking to me now?" He asked after what felt like an eternity of silence."What do you think?""I would have expected you to scare me away, but punishing me with ignorance is the worst.""Am I exaggerating?" I asked in a whisper and bit my lower lip.He looked at me for a long time, then shrugged his shoulders. "I ... I don't know. That never happened to me before .. so .. that someone is so mad at me ”.I pressed my lips together. "Does that mean you are going second-track for the first time?
