"No! I won't do it!" I snapped sitting in a boardroom at my record label and they sighed.

"Come on Carmen, he asked for you. He said he wrote it for you and he said he won't do it with anyone else." My manager Larry said.

I huffed a laugh, "He wrote the song about? Really? Is it call I was a dumbass?"

Everyone groaned and rolled their eyes.

"No, it's called Sad Song." Nancy one of the record label executives said and I laughed hysterically.

"Seriously?!" I asked.

"Yes, like we said he doesn't want to do it with anyone else. He said you and only you or he won't release it.

"THEN HE DOESN'T RELEASE IT!" I yelled slamming my hands on the table. "He is just trying to manipulate me to get me back." I snapped.

Colin Shea was a popular musician, he and his band. Colin and I were both in the industry and when we met a few years ago at his bands album launch party that I was invited to since we were on the same label we hit it off and fast.

When I say fast I mean fast, I spent the next week after the party in Colins apartment and bed. We couldn't deny the connection we had. It was like a fairytale with Colin. We both had our careers and we both knew what we wanted out of life.

But all fairytales come to end, especially when after 2 years together someone who wants marriage and kids offers to take a break from her career to do so and the person she wants to do it with tells her he isn't ready and he isn't sure it's what he wants anymore...what future do they have? They don't have one.

Colin broke my heart when he told me he didn't want anything like he told me he did. When we decided to end it I heard he had another girl in his bed that same night. I kept him tied down and he couldn't play out the "rockstar" fantasy of having bunches of women.

I had heard from some mutual friends that Colin was talking about me a lot more, about how his life was so much better with me in it and he was missing me. He kept talking about how he was going to win me back he just had to find the right way. Looks like he was finally trying.

"Can you please just listen to his demo he made? If you still aren't feeling it afterward we will tell him it's a no go."

I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose, "Fine." I grumbled.

I heard the demo start playing and I had to admit it wasn't a horrible song. It was a love song, not like it was going to be anything else.

I hated even hearing his voice on the demo my heart clenched. I had steered clear of his music since we broke up a year and a half ago because hearing his voice killed me.

Once the demo was over I looked at everyone and they were looking at me as I subtly wiped some tears away that had escaped without my knowledge.

"What can we tell him?" Nancy asked.
