I sat there like an impatient little child waiting for her to come over. What did she need to talk about? Was I gonna meet her parents? I smile at the thought. It then fades when I think of her confessing that she cheated.

"Shawn?" Eva asks softly as she opens the door.

I rush to her side bringing her to the couch. I tap my foot and rub her thigh nervously.

"What's wrong mama? Are you ok? Did someone hurt you?" I question her.

"Your making it harder Shawn." She states.

"What? Am I gonna meet your parents?"

"It has to do with my parents..."

"What is it? You can tell me anything." I assure her.

"I don't wanna be in this relationship anymore...." She says starting to cry.

"W-why? What did I do wrong?" I stutter.

"You were perfect Shawn. It's just me."

"Don't give me that 'it's you it's me crap'. I want the truth." I utter.

"No I just can't. What happens when when you go off to tour? Or when your in L.A. producing a new song? I can't just stay here and wait for you."

"I'll take you with me!" I compromise.

"No Shawn. I'm just not that type of person I can't settle down."

"But the other day you seemed fine!"

"I've changed my mind."

"What made you?"

"Well someone did... Kayla."

"That little bitch!" I scream.

"Shawn you never cuss!" She gasps.

I ignore her and run to my door trying to unlock it and go to Kayla's.

"Shawn she's not home! Come back let me tell you the story before you become hulk."

I frown at her, how could she be making jokes?
"TELL ME!"

(Eva's Flashback.)

"Bye honey!" Cassie calls to Eva.

"Bye!" She answers shutting the door.

As she makes her way down the parking lot to the gate. When she sees Kayla she remembers that she saw Tyler with another girl on her way home.

"Hey witch of the west! I saw Tyler with a girl way prettier than you! She probably does it better too huh?" Eva's shoots.

"How's the pretty boy?"

"Better than whatever disaster you have with that thing." Eva replies.

"For now at least. Just wait till he leaves."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"When his fans become the priority over you. What will you do then? Probably find the next thing to fulfill your needs... Oh wait then that will screw up what you and Shawn have! Oh shoot! So can you do it? Resist the urge to cheat, can you? Think about it do you love him that much, do you have the Will power?" She pushed.

Eva stood quiet and ran into the building heading over to Shawn's......

(End of Eva's flashback)

"So that's what happened.."

"Eva that's disgusting to taunt someone that way. I know she did it too but you shouldn't ever judge someone like that."

"Shawn! Did you hear the story?"

"Yes I did.... So you can't do it? You don't love me enough to try.."

"It's not that-"

I cut her off and spoke,
"Like my new song... " I go over to my backpack and pull out the pad flipping it the page with my song.

I toss the pad right onto her lap.
"Right there!" I point,
"You can't keep saying those three empty words, right?"

"Shawn they're not empty but I am. My mom abandoned me after I was born I'd rather leave you while your career can soften the blow, before you leave me."

I bite my lip trying to hold back tears.
"I didn't know that... You could've told me before."

"I didn't really think about it... Until Kayla opened my eyes." She confesses.

"But I made love to you because I thought we were in love! Now you're just gonna leave me after I felt that connection!"

"It was something I never really felt truly passionate about...but I don't wanna hurt you in the future. You have so much going for you!"
"Why are you trying so hard to stay with a girl like me?"

"It was never about that. I felt something. I wouldn't not date just because you did a certain thing I'm not that type of person. So why don't you understand?"

"Shawn I have to go.." She told me walking out the door.

"But-but!"

"I'm gonna go stay at my dads for the month..." She cries running out of the door.

My cheeks felt hot as tears rushed down my face. I curled up into a ball and just laid there. Feeling like I had no purpose. I forgot about my fans, forgot about my song, but I couldn't forget Eva. She said she wanted to leave before she hurt me but it was way too late...

As I felt my tears dry on my cheeks, I pull out my phone and tweet this:
'Feeling lonely now that your gone...'

Quickly I get responses from fans telling me I wasn't alone. All these people who loved me and appreciated me showing support warmed my heart.

'Even if you left. I still have these lovely fans. Muffin army!' I tweet back.

I smile as I see people who don't even know my actual trouble, jumping to action to cheer me up. My fans were amazing and sometimes I take them for granted. That stops from now on.

Once I heard key jingling and I was ready to stop crying I marched to Kayla's.

"Kayla! KAYLA!!!" I shouted banging on the door.

"Chill out why are acting like a maniac?" She answers.

"Why did you tell my girlfriend all that junk?!"

"I'm assuming she's an ex now?"

"That's not the point! Why did you tell her those things?"

"Because it was the truth and she needed to hear it."

"Where did you even come up with that?"

"From experience."

"What?"

"Shawn you left me.."

"What? No I didn't!" I protest.

"Yes you did. When you went off for your career you left me there."

"But you encouraged me to become what I am now. And I asked you if you would've liked to come along but you denied it."

"That's when Tyler came along..." She states.

"What's the deal with that? You always made a guy make time for you not vice versa."

"It was different I felt something it was way more wild then before... Way more exciting. But,"

"But what?"

"But....."
