Story Notes:
This story is so much fiction, it's not even funny, completely a figment of my imagination.
R for strong language, some sexual content from Chapter 9 forward.
There is a sequel to this story- Let's Start Over (Again).
1. Chapter 1 by MissM [Comments - 3] (5162 words)
Callie learns that the label is none to pleased with her new songs, and unless she can come up with something new, her album is in danger of being pushed back, or worse, shelved.
Probably my favorite chapter, because she is SUCH a brat!

2. Chapter 2 by MissM [Comments - 2] (4704 words)
Much to her dismay and against her general nature, she's starting to like JC and thinks this might just work out, after all.

Curtis is an ass, and throws her into a very vulnerable state. Thankfully her friend JC is there to remind her of what she's there to do.
4. Chapter 4 by MissM [Comments - 2] (4323 words)
Paula senses something happening, something Callie can't (or won't) see.
5. Chapter 5 by MissM [Comments - 0] (4531 words)
Nothing's really happening--- and though she didn't really want anything to happen, the fact that nothing's happening is pissing her off!
6. Chapter 6 by MissM [Comments - 0] (4334 words)
Callie and JC are in Chicago to record. She views a slice of his life that makes her jealous.
7. Chapter 7 by MissM [Comments - 1] (3738 words)
Too little, too late, Callie's willing to admit to herself there's something happening. But now what?
8. Chapter 8 by MissM [Comments - 4] (4380 words)
Good news for Callie at her label meeting. And, much to her horror, she's unable to fight her urges toward JC.
9. Chapter 9 by MissM [Comments - 2] (3059 words)
FINALLY, Callie and JC get to know each other a little better.
Slightly explicit toward the end.
10. Chapter 10 by MissM [Comments - 1] (4635 words)
11. Chapter 11 by MissM [Comments - 1] (6498 words)
Thanks to JC's help, Callie has hit the big time! This chapter is wordy, but a lot of what is said is referred to in Ch.12.
12. Chapter 12 by MissM [Comments - 0] (5358 words)
The return of Curtis, who knows how to get under her skin, and Callie deals with a long-festering problem in her life.
12/30- cleaned up the spacing and some of the dialogue. Just an edit.
****
13. Chapter 13 by MissM [Comments - 6] (3571 words)
The final chapter.
Three words send Callie running, but she's miserable. Will she take the leap, or keep running?
12/30- Did an edit and fixed the spacing.
