I stood there, standing behind the curtain. My heart beating inside my chest. "Kristy Tompson to the stage." one of the crew said. That was my cue. I was about to sing infront of 30,ooo people. They all came to see me, and my new found friends, The Jonas Brothers. I adored them. They were like my brothers; except for Joe. I didn't think of him as a brother. I just liked him too much.
When I got off stage, I took a deep breath. Who knew running around on stage and trying to get the fans into the mood could be so exausting! It's hard, but worth it. When I stood back up, I was immediately shocked by who I saw. Joseph Adam Jonas was standing right infront of me. His eyes were lit up and his smile beaming. I had no choice but to smile back. "Hey Kristy, awesome show!" Joe said, congratulating me on my first big show. "Thanks Joe." I replied.
"So, whens your CD coming out? I've been wanting to get it." I asked Joe sweetly. "Oh, it comes out on June 16, but you can just have this one." he said and handed me one of the first copies ever made. I opened my mouth and words weren't coming out. "Oh Joe, I cant take this, it's yours. I can just buy the CD like everyone else." I said, trying to give the CD back. But he wouldn't take it. "No, keep it. We can always get another copy. It's our CD, remember?" Joe said jokingly. I laughed and smiled. He was the funny one. Then we heard the crew say, "Jonas Brothers to the stage." I turned to look at the curtain and looked back at him. "Well, there's your cue." I said and walked over to my dressing room. Nick and Kevin passed me. "Hey, good luck!" I told them and they ran out on stage. I laughed and walked into the dressing room. I sat down at my vanity and looked at my face. One of my bruises was starting to show. It was still tender from 3 days ago. I tried to cover it up, but it wasn't working. My make-up just made it look worse. Now I had no way to hide it. Then I heard their voices. I quickly stood up from the vanity chair and ran into the bathroom that was in my dressing room.
I heard a knock at the door and Joe walked in. "Kris? Are you here?" he called. I bit my lip and closed my eyes. "Yeah." I replied. Joe walked over to the bathroom and said, "Oh, okay. I just wanted to ask you if you want to grab a bite with us." he waited for my answer. "Oh, no thanks. I'm not feeling to good. You guys just go without me." I told him. I knew I was lying, but I didn't want to have to tell Joe, Nick and Kevin that I have an abusive boyfriend. "Okay, see ya later." he said and walked out the door. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the bathroom.
I rubbed my forehead and sat down in my bean-bag chair trying to think of a way to hide my boyfriends mark. But by the looks of it; my so called secret was not going to be a secret for much longer.
