Summary: She was only trying to get away from the creepy stalker; she never could have imagined the consequences of banging her way into a random hotel room.
Chapter One
Destiny Chase wandered through the halls of the hotel in Los Angeles. She was there with her friends for a dance competition. She knew they were still back at the room partying it up but Destiny herself had needed to escape. She may have been on good terms with her ex Allison, but that did not mean she wanted to watch her ex make out with a guy right in front of her. Her wounds hadn't yet healed completely. Her heart ached as Allison had thoughtlessly moved on right in front of her. They had only broken up two months earlier; Destiny couldn't help but wonder if maybe in Allison's mind they had been broken up longer.
She almost tripped over a snag in the carpet which brought her tumbling out of her thoughts. Maybe that had been a good thing, because for the first time since her walk began she noticed that there was a man following her. She immediately recognized him as in the competition the men. Destiny increased her speed and the man behind her increased his as well. There was still a large distance between them as the man was trying to look subtle. Destiny tried her best to pretend to ignore him, but he was starting to creep her out.
She picked a random hotel room door and began to bang loudly hoping there was someone inside who would be willing to open the door to a stranger. She could only imagine the terror that was displayed over her features as the gap between her and the man kept closing. He was only three rooms away when the door opened and Destiny pushed herself inside not caring who was on the other side before slamming the door shut.
"Everything ok?"
It was then Destiny realized whose room she had carelessly forced herself into. She was standing in the room of the most popular Disney Star Alex Ruso. She stuttered out a reply to explain what had happened but what came out was a long ramble that made no sense. Selena placed her hand on Destiny's shoulder and tried to calm the poor girl down.
"What happened?" Alex asked, "But tell me slowly."
Destiny took a breath and composed herself. She couldn't help but smile when Alex told her to speak slower. She knew she had a habit to ramble incoherently. It was something she had never wanted to show if she had ever met someone famous.
"Sorry," Destiny apologized, "I was talking a walk through the hotel when I realized this guy was following me. I panicked and started banging on your door. Now here we are."
"Here we are," Alex agreed with a small smile.
She leaned over Destiny and stared out the peep hole into the hallway. She could see the man that Destiny had referred to pacing back and forth. It didn't look like he was going anywhere anytime soon.
"Is he still out there?" Density questioned.
"Yeah," Alex replied, as she took a step back, "You're more than welcome to chill here for a little while. My Mom won't be back for hours and I was getting kind of lonely."
Destiny nodded as she thanked Alex. She was thankful that the star hadn't sent her back out into the hallway to deal with her lurking stalker. She followed Alex into the kitchen. She couldn't help but chuckled. She hadn't realized that there were hotel rooms there that acted like apartments. But then again she figured the actress/singer spent a lot of times in hotels while filming on location.
"Want some?" Alex asked as she made herself a bowl of ice cream.
"Sure," Destiny replied, hoping that the sweet treat would soak up some of the alcohol in her stomach.
They were just about to dig into their respective bowls of ice cream when a loud bang caused both girls to flinch in their seats. With that someone began to bang on the hotel room door.
"Another visitor banging," Alex teased Destiny as she rose to her feet to check who was on the other side.
If it was the guy who had been following Destiny she couldn't help but wonder why the guy was getting so desperate. It wasn't as if she had paid him any attention in the last few days they had been there for the competition. She watched as Alex leaned forward to look through the peep hole. Then she watched as Alex's entire demeanor changed. She couldn't help but wonder who it was. Alex turned around and motioned for Destiny to go into one of the rooms. Destiny nodded and grabbed her bowl before disappearing into what she assumed was Alex's temporary bedroom. She closed the door just as Alex opened the door in the other room. Even though Destiny tried to block out what was going in the other room she could hear everything that was said.
"Hey Mitchie," Selena said.
"Hey Alex," Demi said.
Destiny heard the door close and she could only assume that the rock star had been invited in. She quickly decided this wasn't a conversation she was supposed to be listening to. Even though part of her wanted to know if the rumors were true and that they really were in love with each other Destiny didn't think it would be appropriate if that was how she found out. So instead of listening she grabbed Alex's IPOD off of her bed. She pulled the head phones over her ears and turned on one of Alex's playlists. She finished her ice cream while listening to the mix. She had to admit Alex had a good taste in music. She went through her IPOD while she waited looking to see what the young Disney star liked to listen too. While Alex had many songs from her friends she didn't have a single song that she recorded.
Destiny was brought out of her thoughts when she noticed Alex standing in the doorway. She quickly turned off the IPOD and was about to apologize for using it when she saw the expression on Alex's face. It was one of complete devastation. Destiny silently placed the IPOD on the bed and stepped toward Alex unsure of what to do.
Alex pulled out a bottle of jack from behind her back.
"Drink with me," Alex said with a shaky voice, "I don't ever want to remember this moment."
Destiny glanced from the bottle back to Alex. She saw the heart break in her eyes and she knew that feeling all too well. But what was Destiny going to do?
