Chapter 24

Lana's POV

I woke up the next morning, sighing to myself. I didn't get a good night's sleep. I can't believe Steven came to Grant's apartment last night. All I wanted to do was run to the door, hug him and tell him that I forgive him, when I heard his voice. But I didn't have the strength to do that. I couldn't bring myself to pretend that I'm okay with cheating.That fucking broke my heart. I didn't know how I was going to heal.

I sat up, and got out of the bed. I walked into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had dark circles starting to form under my eyes, my hair was lifeless, and my eyes were bloodshot from crying.I let out a breath, turning to the shower. Maybe a shower would do me good.I turned it on, and a couple minutes later I was stepping into it.

I had grabbed some clothes and stuff from my apartment after Steven had left the complex last night.I grabbed the pair of jeans, and tank top I packed, throwing it on.I put on some foundation, and a little mascara, at least to hide the dark circles forming.I didn't know what to do with my hair, and I didn't really care that much.I just threw it up into a messy bun.

I walked out of the bathroom about a minute later to find Grant still asleep.I smiled to myself, because the funny thing was, he sucked his thumb when he was in a deep sleep.I decided to go grab us some coffee.I grabbed my purse, and threw on my shoes.I walked out to my car and got in.~~~~~

I parked on the street, and turned my car off.I walked into the coffee shop, and there were a couple people in front of me, so I stood in the line.

A few minutes later, I made it to the front, and ordered our coffees.Grant and I liked the same thing. Vanilla frappe.

They were handing my coffees to me a few minutes later, and I paid, thanking them.I walked out to my car, and made my way back to the apartment.

~~~~~

I unlocked the door, and stepped inside to find Grant awake, and watching TV.I smiled. "Hey. I got us coffee." I walked into the living room, and stood at the couch."What are you watchin?" I asked.Grant looked nervous for a moment, and shut off the TV.I rose an eyebrow. "Why did you do that?" "Forget about it, Lana." He replied.I glared at him. "I don't like secrets, Grant."He sighed. "It's not a secret, it's just--"He didn't get to finish because I had snatched the remote out of his hand.I turned the TV back on, and my mouth dropped open.Steven was on an interview show.I started to talk, but no words were coming out."See, this is why.." Grant mumbled.I held up a hand, making him shut up.I turned up the TV."Lana, you don't have to watch this."I ignored him, and listened.***Interviewer: So Steven, it's been a while, hasn't it?

Steven: Yeah, it has. But I've just been busy.

Interviewer: I've heard, you and your band, Aerosmith, are starting to get in the studio to start another album, is that right?

Steven, with a chuckle: We're excited to get back in there, and start the magic again.

Interviewer: Well, we can't wait to hear the new music. Now, on a different subject, and I'm sure all the ladies out there want to know, what's going on in Mr. Tyler's dating life? Is there a girl? *smiles*

Steven: Well, there was. But I messed it up. It's the biggest regret of my life.... I still love her.

Interviewer: Wow, I see. And does this woman you're speaking of, does she still love you?

Steven, looking down, sighing: I'm not sure. But I will always be here for her. She's the only girl I think about, hell, she's the only thing I've been thinking about these days.

Interviewer: Aw, isn't that sweet. Well, if your girl is watching I think you made her smile.

Steven, smiling. I hope she's watching. So she'll know how I feel about her.

***I couldn't watch anymore after that. I shut it off, and just sat there, tears silently running down my face.Thoughts were running through my head a mile a minute.Steven still loves me? I'm the only thing he's thinking about? But then, why did he cheat on me? Did I want to find out? I didn't know what to do.All these feelings were mixing themselves inside my body, and I didn't know which one to follow.I was conflicted. "Grant..."He put an arm around me, and pulled me closer."It's up to you."

I wiped away a tear. "But what if I don't know what to do?"Grant let out a sigh. "You'll figure it out."

"And if I don't?" I replied.

Grant looked down at me, with a smile. "Oh, come on. You're Lana Rose Cooper. You will. You know what you want. You might be heartbroken right now, but everything will become clear soon. I promise."

I took a deep breath. "God, I really hope so."
