I woke up, with Carlos sitting on my dresser. "How did you get in?" Monica let me in." He said. "We need to talk..you and I, this isn't working out. You ruining my career." He said, getting of my dresser. "W-what?" I asked, disbelief in my voice. "We. Are. Done. Everyone hates you. Me, the guys, everyone. Just leave me alone." He said, before turning and walking out of the room, leaving my heart in pieces.
I woke up screaming in crying. I pulled my knees to my chest and rocked back and forth. "I-it was just a dream. It was just a dream." I kept repeating over and over. I finally stopped crying and calmed down. I grabbed my phone and unlocked it. I had a new text from Carlos.
From Carlos <3: Good morning baby. Check my twitter ;)
Hm. I opened up twitter and went to his account.
@TheCarlosPena: Leave Rosalie alone. I love her and that's what matters. Just leave us alone.
I smiled down at my phone. He was defending me and that gave me strength. I jumped up and started writing one song, that I had thought about yesterday. I played it on my guitar and loved it. I've written to many slow songs. Its time for a change. I jumped up and rushed over to get more paper and started writing as the lyrics came to my mind.
If they wanna talk, let them talk
If they wanna whisper, then so what?
They don't know about us
They don't know about us
They don't know about u-u-u-u-us
If they wanna hate, let them hate 'Cause it don't matter what they say
They don't know about us They don't know about us They don't know about u-u-u-u-us
I sang, my fingers moving along the guitar and my voice ringing in the silence of my apartment. I finished the song and immediately packed everything up. I jumped in the shower and got dressed. I pulled my hair up in a bun and put on my glasses. I headed down to the lobby and started walking to Roque Records. I kept singing the song over and over in my head but it just didn't sound right. I'll just show Gustavo the first one. I'll have to wait on this.
I rushed into the studio and walked up to Gustavo where he was sitting, at the piano. I handed him the first song. "Here you go." I said. He raised an eyebrow at me but read them anyway. "It's amazing! Studio. Now." He said and I set my bags down. I walked into the booth, taking off my sunglasses and putting on the headphones. I closed my eyes and started singing.
Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel like, there's nothing left of me?
I sang, my voice sounding through the quiet studio.
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
I finished the song and opened my eyes, smiling. Gustavo and Kelly were clapping. "Looks like we have a new song for the album." He said and I cheered. I quickly packed up my things and walked back to the streets. I was walking, quietly singing the song. I groaned. It just wasn't working. I'll have to go back to the studio tomorrow, when Gustavo is going to San Francisco to meet up with Griffin. I went back to my apartment when my phone dinged.
From Carlos <3: There's a picnic in the park waiting for you :)
He set up a picnic? I rushed to the bathroom and took the bun down, my hair in waves. I brushed it out and added some cover up and eyeliner. I finished and put on my sunglasses. I walked to the park and saw Carlos standing by a blanket with a rose. "A rose for you, Rosalie." Carlos said, handing it to me and winking. I smiled as he sat down. I sat down next to him and he pulled out a basket. He handed me a turkey sandwich and we ate. When we finished we laid back and watched the clouds. "There's a duck!" Carlos said, pointing. I looked and my face scrunched up, confused. "No! It's a fishy! Bloop bloop!" I said and he laughed.
"It's a duck."
"Fish."
"Duck."
"Fish!"
"Duck!"
"Duck."
"Fish."
"Yay I win!" I said and Carlos laughed, rolling his eyes.
"So what have you been doing?" Carlos asked, playing with my fingers. "Nothing really, just some song writing. Gustavo approved one for the album but I have one that I'm not so sure about. I like it but it doesn't seem right." I said. "Want me to take a look at it?" He asked. "Sure." I said, standing up. He folded the blanket and we went up to my room. I grabbed my guitar and started playing it. I sang the first verse and chorus but then stopped. "I don't think this part sounds right." I said, and sang it. "Let me see." Carlos said, taking the paper.
No sound, truth cutting out
Like a game of Telephone
New found, talk of the town
They don't want to leave us alone
Carlos sang and I sang the next part.
Pay no attention to the ''he said, she said''
Yeah, you're the only one I hear in my head
[Carlos]
So let 'em think we're a tabloid crush;
in the end they don't know about us
[Both] If they wanna talk, let them talk (Hey!)
If they wanna whisper, then so what? (Hey!)
They don't know about us, they don't know about us
They don't know about a- a-a-a- a- us..
If they wanna hate, let them hate (Hey!)
'Cause it don't matter what they say (Hey!)
They don't know about us, they don't know about us
They don't know about a- a-a-a- a- us..
[Both] T-T-They don't know about us (hey!),
they don't know about us
T-T-They don't know about us (hey!),
they don't know about us
[Me]
Let them say what they say
Maybe they call night and day-ay
[Carlos]
Let them waste their time
Rumours ain't never gonna change my mind
[Me]
Cause when you're hold me tight
I know it's worth the fight
[Both]
They don't know the truth
They don't know it like we do
If they wanna talk, let them talk (Hey!)
If they wanna whisper, then so what? (Hey!)
They don't know about us,
they don't know about us
They don't know about a- a-a-a- a- us..
If they wanna hate, let them hate (Hey!)
'Cause it don't matter what they say (Hey!)
They don't know about us,
they don't know about us
They don't know about a- a-a-a- a- us..
They don't know about us
(They don't know, they don't know, they don't know)
They don't know about us
(They don't know, they don't know, they don't know)
They don't know about us
(They don't know, they don't know, they don't know)
They don't know about us (I like just right here )
(They don't know, they don't know, they don't know)
We finished singing and I froze while Carlos cheered. "T-This is it! It's a duet!" I said, jumping up and hugging Carlos. "That was great!" He said as I pulled back and gave him a kiss. "Let's go show Gustavo! He'll love it!" I said. Carlos and I grabbed the lyrics and rushed down to his car. We got in and were at RR in 5 minutes. We ran inside and I shoved the lyrics at Gustavo and hanging Kelly the CD as Carlos and I rushed into the booth. I put on my headphones, Carlos doing the same. I told Kelly to start the music. It started and I sang, looking at Carlos. He sang his part, and we both sang together, then we finished the song.
We looked at Kelly and Gustavo, their eyes wide with shock. "That was AMAZING! We're doing a music video for that in 2 days. Think of ideas! Now get out while I edit this awesome song!" Gustavo yelled at us. Carlos and I raised an eyebrow at each other and laughed. We got a copy of the song an walked out of Roque Records. "How about we walk home? I'll get my car tomorrow." Carlos said and I nodded. I grabbed his hand and we started walking. People were pointing and whispering and I knew it was about Carlos and I. "If they wanna talk, let them talk." Carlos said, smirking. I smiled at him and sang back, "If they wanna whisper, then so what?"

It was now November 30th. Griffin loved the songs and said I was "As good as warm pants", whatever that means. Today was the day I was filming my first music video, and Carlos was in it! He drove us to the museum they had closed down. They haven't told us how or what we'd be doing yet. When we got there they pulled me away from Carlos for hair and make up. They curled my hair and did my make up. Next was wardrobe. I tried on a few different outfits and they decided on a black strapless crop top, a peach/tan and black leather jacket, a tight black skirt that came to mid-thigh, black stockings, and a pair of black heels. They put on my sunglasses and I walked over to Gustavo. "Okay, in the first scene you arrive in a limo. Fans are outside (fake of course) and wave hello. You walk inside with some friends and see Carlos and run over to him." Gustavo said and I nodded. I went over it in my head and we started filming.
3 hours later we finished filming. There were wardrobe changes, a big dance scene, and another where we were singing in front of the paps. It was a lot cooler than it sounds. We watched the final video. I hugged Carlos. "That was amazing! We are totally going to get a million views!" Carlos said and I nodded. "Celebratory dinner?" Carlos asked. "Why not?" I said, intertwining our fingers and walking outside with him.
First, sorry for putting all the lyrics in there! I just felt like it. The music video is to the side, the real singers are Victoria Duffield and Cody Simpson soooo yeah, I dont own the song. The other song was Skyscraper by Demi Lovato :) But um, long-ish chapter so yay! 7 votes? and 7 comments with your favorite song/s and their singer? You can comment more than once :) xx
