This chapter is longer, so no worries. I hope you enjoy it. I don't own any famous people. I also doing minor plot changes and typo fixes in this story.
The Surprise
We barely made it in time for our first concert. We had to leave all our stuff on the bus to make it in time. In one of our songs I have a solo and have had many compliments before. But I was surprised when a music manager came up to me.
"That was a fabulous solo." the music manager said.
"Thank you. Are you one of the music managers?" I said.
"Yes, my name is Josh. I might have a bright future in store for you." Josh said.
"My name is Rebecca. Really, what does my future have in store?" I said coyly.
"Yes, I would love to have you work with a certain client of mine. This could lead you to fame and fortune. Here is my card, if you decide that you would be interested. I would love if you called." Josh said.
"Ok, I'll check this out. Do you mind telling me who I might be working with?" I said.
"He is a surprise. I'm sorry, I have to go." Josh said.
On the way to the hotel I went through all the possibilities of who it could be. The only problem was that there is too many. I was terrified of one that might happen.
Once Madison and I were settled in our room, I told her about Josh. "Oh my gosh, Becca, this is so perfect. When are you going to call him?" Madison said.
"Tomorrow, before I go to my dance audition. I'll tell him that I will see him after it." I said.
"Where is your dance audition?" Madison asked.
"The Deane Dance Center and you can't come." I said
"Why not!?" Madison argued
"Because Josh will probably want to come and that gives me enough pressure." I said.
"Ok, fine. Good luck!" Madison said.
"Thanks, but the audition is tomorrow." I said
"I know but if I don't tell you now I'll forget." Madison said, laughing. Then I got ready for bed.
THE NEXT DAY
After I got up and dressed, I called Josh:
"Hey, Josh, I decided to accept your offer. What time do you want to meet?" I said
"Now would be great. My other client is with me." He said.
"I can't I have a dance audition at the Deane Dance Center until 10:00 am." I said.
"Well, we'll come and watch. I was going to see if you could dance for the music video." Josh said.
"Ok, so I'll see you there." I said, running my fingers through my hair.
"Yep, can't wait." Josh said.
When I got there, I saw Josh arguing with someone. I got close enough to hear what they were saying. The other voice sent me back into a memory.
Start Flashback
"Rebecca, Joe is going to find me. I have to go." Mystery person said.
"No, please don't. This is our last night together. Please stay with me, Jesse." I said.
"We can't keep hiding from my manager or your parents any more. We can't be together because of them." Jesse said.
"Why should it matter what they think? If we are in love, we can fight to be together no matter what. You do me love, right?" I said.
"Yes, I love you more than anything." Jesse said.
"Promise to call me." I said.
"I promise." Jesse said, in a low voice, bending down to kiss me.
End Flashback
That was two years ago, I was sixteen, and thought I was in love. I still am, but it wouldn't have worked. I never heard from Jesse again. I was heart broken when he never returned my calls. I eventually gave up. Never thinking I would be back in Hollywood. I've dreaded this day every since I found out that we would come. Now I have to face my fears. I don't think I'm ready. Oh well here goes nothing.
"Hey, Josh, glad that you could make it. It is nice to see you again Jesse." I said, with a frown on my face.
"Rebecca! You startled me. You know Jesse?" Josh asked.
"Yeah, we go way back." I said.
"Becca, it wasn't my fault. Joe…" Jesse tried to explain.
"I don't care right now, Jesse, right know all I care about is my audition. We will talk later." I said.
"Okay." Jesse said.
"Josh, I can't talk for long I have to go warm up." I said.
"All right, we'll let you get ready and see you afterwards." Josh said.
"Thank you." I said.
After I warmed up, I called Madison: "Mad, you have to get over here now. No time to explain but hurry. I let you in the stage door" I said, having trouble breathing. It was like I was under water.
"Ok, see you in five." Madison said, in a concerned voice.
When Madison got there I told her to look in the crowd. "Oh my gosh, is that Jesse?" Madison asked.
"Yes, Madison. I made the mistake of telling him we will talk later, alone." I said, pacing back and forth.
"Girl, talk to him maybe you'll get back together." Madison said putting her hand on my shoulder.
"I have no doubt we will. That is exactly what I'm afraid of. Because if we get back together, that means my heart will get broken again." I said.
"Maybe not this time. Try to make it work." Madison said in a hopeful voice.
I will only put this much up today because I need to post some and I'm getting tired. I hope you like it please review. I'm trying to get these longer but my hands cramp up from writing on regular paper too much. It causes my hands to hurt when I type a lot. No flames please.
Love,
