...

once we arrive to this beautiful western restaurant, i help her out of the truck and she leads me inside, once we walked inside there was multiple people who recognized us and ivy could tell that i was getting a little uncomfortable
"it's okay z, i got us a private table upstairs, it'll be just us" i smile and people take some pics of us, but i continue to walk up with her, it was much quiter with just us, and i liked it that way, once you looked down you saw the beautiful view of everyone else dancing and having a good time, you could see outside from where we were sitting and it was such a perfect night
"so, you have more shows coming up?" she asked me and my phone started buzzing, i ignored it at first
"yeah actually, in 3-" i got cut off by my phone blowing up
"i'm sorry, one minute v" i look and see a bunch of text from noah, my sister, reed and everyone else from the band
noah: "ZACH HOLY SHIT" "YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF THERE AND COME TO THE STADIUM RIGHT NOW" "YOU CANT BE OUT THERE" "ZACH!!" "SHIT DUDE"
mackenzie: "HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS" "GET OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW, GO FIND NOAH, AND DUDE YOU RECONNECTED WITH IVY? CALL ME WHEN U GET TO NOAH!"
reed: "ZACH! get back right now! the news is gonna' destroy you, zach you have to come back"
"holy shit!" i say dropping everything and grabbing the remote to look at the news
"what's wrong??" ivy ask
i see the news "FAMOUS COUNTRY SINGER SPOTED AT A RESTAURANT. HELICOPTERS, FANS AND EVERYONE ARE ON THERE WAY. AND IS THIS WOMAN ZACHS EX FIANCÉ IVY? HOW WILL HIS EX WIFE REACT TO THIS ONE WEEK AFTER FILING FOR DIVORCE? THIS RISING STAR GOT HIMSELF INTO A MESS, tune in for more news at 1"
"OH SHIT" ivy says as she grabs my hand and we go the back way into this dark aly and run to noah's truck, at this time it is pouring rain, i step on the gas and speed to the stadium, the car is so silent, once we get there i sprint to my trailer, leaving ivy behind and ivy follows slowly behind but ends up going to noah's instead since she couldn't see through all the rain

IVY'S POV

i accidentally walked into noah's trailer and could feel the panic rising throughout my body "oh shit, i'm sorry noah i'll leave" i say grabbing the door handle but he grabs my wrist and pulls me back
"no, stay, fans are crazy and if you leave they will know for sure that your here, it could ruin everything, just stay with me until everything calms down" he says with panic written on his face
"HOW COME NO ONE TOLD ME THEY FILIED FOR A DIVORCE LAST WEEK?!" i say yelling at noah even though i know it wasn't  his fault
"WE THOUGHT YOU KNEW! AND HIS WIFE IS THE WOMAN!!" he yells back at me
"WHAT WOMAN?" i yell to him
"THE WOMAN." anger arises in my face and i get so visibly upset
"SHIT THIS IS BAD, I RUINED EVERYTHING. AND HE WANTS ME BACK AFTER DIVORCING HIS WIFE WHO HE CHEATED ON ME WITH!" i throw my hat on the floor and fall onto the floor sobbing
"hey, come on ivy it wasn't you, you didn't know, but they got divorced because of you" i wanted to keep asking questions but i start having a panic attack and i start breathing heavy, but he grabs my leg and try's to calm me down, i look to him and felt a weird feeling inside
"thanks noah, but shit, what about zach? what do i do?" i say sobbing into his arms
"it's okay ivy, i'm here, we will see how this plays out" he wrapped his arms around me while we were both sitting on the floor of his trailer
after about 30 minutes of sitting there, zach busted through noah's trailer
"what the fuck?" he says as he sees noah's arms around me
"zach, it's nothing man" noah says backing up and standing up
"zach WHAT THE FUCK?" i say and i could tell zach knew that i knew EVERYTHING.
"ivy im so sorry, i'll handle them, and i'm sorry i didn't tell you about the divorce" he says letting out a breath
"if you did all this, and cared so much about me, why did you get married and not even try to fix what happened between me and you, you just said sorry and that was the last convo between us before last night zach." i could tell he was getting uncomfortable
"well i didn't feel like i had too." he said and that made me visibly angry
"really zach??" i yelled
"you didnt feel like you had to tell me that you got divorced a week ago, and had a WIFE and more than just 'im sorry' after you cheated on me with your ex wife???" i pick my hat up off the floor and throw it over my head, i push all my long blond hair behind my shoulders and tears start pouring from my eyes
"i appreciate the gesture and the kindness you showed me for one night, but i don't deserve this, so if you learn anything about how messed us this situation is, text me and we will talk. but if you care more about your music career, then say that to my face and lose my number" i pick up my stuff and walk close to him
"i had a reservation for us at the fanciest hotel in oklahoma, i thought we were gonna have fun, and look where that got us" i look to noah
"can you give me a ride home?" i ask him
"yea why not" we walk past zach and i slam the door
as soon as we get into his truck i start sobbing, noah pats my shoulder and drives me home

...

"thanks again noah" i smile to him and before i get out he stops me
"i'm so sorry this happened ivy, here's my number, call me when you get the chance and we can talk more" he smiles and i smile and walk inside
i saw liv sitting on the couch, it's like she knew what was gonna happen
"oh i'm so sorry liv" she pats the couch that is empty and i sit down next to her, i lay my head on her shoulder and  she puts a blanket around me
"i got the hot guitarist number" i say trying to make light of the situation, she high fives me and i smile and take a nap on her shoulder, i get rudely awoken by zach banging on our front door.
