"So Bella. I've found us a little gig to play at tonight"

Liv says brushing through her hair.

"Wait really?"

"Yeah. It's not small but it's not huge. We get four songs which is perfect. You can do teenage mind and that one you won't tell me and I can do drivers license and we can both do Deja Vu"

"Uh yeah sounds good"

"It starts at seven so we need to be there at six"

"That's literally three hours away"

"So start getting ready!!"

7:00 PM

"Liv, I- I don't think I can do this" I say shakily, holding her hand.

"Of course you can"

"Wait. What's the order again"

"Deja Vu first. Then Teenage mind then Drivers licence and then what was it?"

"Remember that night"

"Yeah that"

"Okay. We'll be okay right?"

"We're gonna be fine Belle. Stop stressing"

I hug her before were lead onto the stage by a man. The stage is dark but the lights soon turn on. I don't even look through the crowd I look up at the ceiling and towards the microphone.

We sing all of the songs and it's time for me to sing Remember that night. I sit on the stool and start singing.

The day after you said goodbye...
All I did was lay in bed and cry,
But after one month, I started to move on
And after two, I felt alright
Then three months in, you were off my mind

And month four and five,
I was living my life,
I was better and didn't have to try,
Not to think of you,
'til you reached out
And said, "Remember that night?"

I scan the audience and see him. With her. He's been here this whole time. Watching me sing about him. His face looks sad. He's just staring at me from where he is and I can tell he's upset. I look over to Liv who's completely oblivious and is just smiling. I keep singing.

We went for a drive,
2:30 in the morning,
I kissed you, it was pouring.
We held each other tight,
before the night was over,
You looked over your shoulder.
Oh, I was doing fine,
You said, "Remember that night?
Remember that night?"
Oh, I was doing fine
You said, "Remember that night?
Remember that night?"

The day after you had reached out...
I was broken for the second time around,
I prayed on the third day,
that I would be okay,
That I'd forget you were ever mine,
Oh, I don't think you realise...

How long I had to fight,
to be living my life,
To get better and never have to try,
Not to think of you until you reached out
And said, "Remember that night?"

I look back over to where Joe is to see him talking with Sophie. I think they're arguing. She looks really angry and he has his head in his hands. I can't really see that well because it's so dark.

We went for a drive,
2:30 in the morning
I kissed you, it was pouring,
We held each other tight,
before the night was over
You looked over your shoulder
Oh, I was doing fine
You said, "Remember that night?
Remember that night?"
Oh, I was doing fine
You said, "Remember that night?
Remember that night?"

I see Sophie walk out whilst everyone is applauding. I look at Joe, whose looking at me and we make eye contact for a few seconds before he motions for me to follow him and walks away. I say thank you to the crowd and rush past Liv and off the stage.

I speed walk in the direction Joe went and bump into someone on the way.

"I'm so sorry"

I say looking up to the person. It's Sophie.

"No it's okay, It's on me. Oh hey your Joe's ex right?"

"Um yeah. You're his fiancé?"

"I am for now but I think I'm gonna end things"

"What? Why?"

"Let's go somewhere quieter and talk"

"Uh yeah okay"

I follow Sophie out of the crowd and into an empty room.

"So..." I say awkwardly

"So..."

"What did you want to talk about?"

"Okay. Hear me out. I love Joe, I do but I know he doesn't feel the same"

"He loves you Sophie. Anyone can see that"

"Yeah I guess. But he's not in love with me"

"How do you know?"

"I saw that way he was looking at you. And that day we saw you when we were in the car. He's not over you Bella"

"I- I don't know what to say"

"He's broken, I can see how much he misses you and I can't see him like that. I know you feel the same way so just give him a chance"

"It's not that simple. one, He proposed to you for a reason and two, we broke up for a reason, he's famous and I'm not. We wouldn't work in the long run. You're an actress, You're gorgeous and-"

"I'm not you. Why do you think he took me to all of the places you went to together. He wants me to be you. He never stopped loving you, I was just a distraction. Now I could either go through with the wedding and live the rest of our lives unhappy or I can go and find someone I love that loves me back and you and Joe can work things out"

"I'm so sorry Sophie, for everything. You shouldn't have to feel like a rebound"

"No I get it. I'm really sorry for the sarky comment I made when you first announced your relationship"

"What? that I was cute but you'd be better?" I laugh

"Oh god, I'm so sorry" She covers her face and laughs with me.

"What do I do now"

"Go talk to him"

"What now? Shouldn't you talk to him first?"

"I already did, go and get him back"

"Thank you. For all of this"

"It's okay, let me know how it goes"

"I will"

I hug her and run to where I saw Joe leave.

"Hey"

"Hey"
