~*Crista's Hope*~

Chapter 5

"And I knew I wouldn't be the same oh yea-ah," Crista sang totally off key. "Okay Crista I don't know what's wrong, but this isn't working," her producer Steven said in a frustrated voice as she had tried to sing this part for a half an hour in the studio. "I know, I'm just not in a good mood today. I'll try harder," she said dropping her hands to her sides. "Why dont you take a lunch break and we'll pick it back up in a hour," he said with a friendly smile. She thanked him and walked out the door. She began walking down the streets of Times Square and then a strange feeling came over her. Here she was in a huge city full of people yet she felt so alone. She had made new friends with the guys' girlfriends, but she didn't have the special connection like with Chris. She thought she wouldn't get depressed till mid-month but this was only the first day without him, maybe it was just the fact she was thinking about it to much so she tried to brush it off. She grabbed something to eat and went back into the studio to finish. "Alright here's the other song you have to sing, its called, For You," he said playing it. It was a corny soda pop Britney-style song that Crista wasn't quite fond of. She noticed they didnt have much slow songs on her cd. "Hey Steven," she asked. "Yes," he said. "Well, truth is, this song," she began. "Sucks?" he added. "Yeah basically," she said. "Yeah I know, but we have no other options," he said with a helpless look shrugging. "What if I wrote a song?" she asked with eagerness in her voice. "I dunno Crista, can you finish it within 2 days?" he asked. "Of course! Yeah that's simple, I already got my inspiration...thats all I need," she said smiling. "Alright!" Steven said, he was one to be open to artists writing their own songs wich didn't happen much anymore.

After crista finished for the day, she went back to the house and got on Chris' computer.

Chris signed off and then Crista's new cell rang.

Crista: Hello?
Chris: Hey baby!
Crista: Hey! How did you get this number?
Chris: I have my ways
Crista: Knowing you Chris, I'm sure you do
Chris: So wassup??
Crista: Nothing much, I have to write this song for my cd and...oh shoot, I should really get started on that!
Chris: You're writing a song for the cd, wow that's awesome. I'll be sure to be first in line when it comes out!
Crista: *laughs* thank you
Chris: Well, I'll let you go, you probably wanna go write that great hit song of yours
Crista: Alright.....bye
Chris: Bye

Crista hung up the phone and couldn't help but notice the smile she now had. She sat down at her desk in her room and began to write.
