Part 4: Bryce Kersey
Heeray awoke in her hotel room. Her eyes were drooping and she was still tired, for it showed vividly. Relena stood over her, unsuccessfully blocking the sunlight. Heeray frowned.
" Today, you're going to meet someone. Her name's Sanay Anderson. She has a son. He's also signed to the label. Get up we have to fly to New York City. You can sleep on the plane." Relena said. Heeray groaned and sat up. Relena was going to get it later.
" Sanay, your son had better be Adonis himself or I will kill the woman who so graciously expelled me from the wound." Heeray moaned, walking to the bathroom. Ten minutes later, she came out, fully dressed and smirking. She was fully revitalized. Jay was still practically asleep. Heero was awake. It didn't look as if he had lost any sleep. Relena looked the most vivacious, though.

AN: Allow me to recap right quick. Heeray's song, Fighter, is the #1 song in the world and she is a star. The critics don't seem to like her a lot, though. The next song will reflect that. Just thought you should know that little bit of information.

In the airport in New York City, Heeray looked around. The sunglasses she had on kept people from realizing who she was. She had a scarf around her head, covering her radiant black hair.
" Mom, I'm going to shop first. I want to but something." Heeray said. Relena looked at her.
" Well, I guess it'll be alright. But, be back by dinner. You know where Sanay's home is, right?"
" Yes, mother." Heeray walked off.
Walking down Fifth Avenue was a cinch. She had about six bags with her and she decided to call it a day when she walked dead smack into a guy. A rock hard guy that you only bounce back. Heeray did just that, too. Her sunglasses came off. Bags flew everywhere. The guy caught her before she hit the ground.
They just stared at each other. He stared in her blue eyes and she stared in his gray eyes. Both were expressionless and breathing pretty hard.
" Are you ok?" He asked, standing her up. Heeray looked for her sunglasses.
" Yes, just peachy..."
" Bryce. Bryce Kersey. I'm really sorry about all of this. Here, let me help you." He hurriedly began picking up all of her bags. Heeray smirked a bit at his nervousness, or rather his apparent nervousness.
" Well, Bryce Kersey, I will see you later. Thank you for catching me. That rock hard body of yours is dangerous." Heeray walked off, bags in tote.
At Sanay's home, Heeray walked in, after dinner. She took off her scarf, letting her black/red hair fall. Relena and Sanay walked in, seething.
" You had better have a damn good reason for being late, Heeray Lena." Relena said. Heeray smirked and put her bags down.
" I got a little held up. My scarf fell down and people recognized me. Plus this guy name Bryce knocked me down. He was kind of cute. That's why I'm late, you guys.
" Did someone call me?" Bryce Kersey stepped out of the dining room. He looked at Heeray and blushed vividly. Heeray is not one for jaw-dropping displays, but this time might have been an exception.
" Bryce?"
" You're Heeray? Wow." He said in awe. Relena and Sanay sighed exasperatedly and then went to continue eating.
" So you're the one who got me up and the crack of fucking dawn today. I said to myself that you had better be an Adonis. You are pretty cute, Bryce. You sing also."
" Yeah. But, I love your song."
" The critics don't think too much of it. My fans do though. That's all that really matters though. Hey, does your mother have a recording studio around here?"
" Yeah, it's mine though. You want to use it?" Bryce asked shyly. Heeray visibly smiled. She really liked him.
" That'd be great. Maybe you could help me produce this song. It's for all of my haters." She giggled.
In the studio, Heeray took off the coat she had on and touched the microphone. The lighting was dim and it was kind of warm in the room. All in all, it felt like home. It felt like the studio where she wrote her first song.
" Well, let's get to work, mademoiselle." Bryce said, smiling. After getting the music down, Heeray went into the room to record.
*I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
And nobody's gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothings been going my way lately
So I decided right here and now that my outlooks gotta change
That's why I'm gonna
Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried
For everytime somebody hurt my pride
Feeling like they won't let me live life
And take the time to look at what is mine
I see every lesson completely
I thank God for what I got from above
I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I'm gonna carry on
Keep on singing my song*
Bryce noticed that she sand with her eyes closed. She sang with such passion, he wondered if she sounded the same when strangled. Getting that thought out of his mine, he continued to watch her mannerisms.
Jay watched him watch his sister. He didn't like Bryce all that much, but then again, he couldn't really say he had known him for a long time.
*I never wanna dwell on my pain again
There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then
Remembering all of the hell I felt when I was running out of faith
Every step I vowed to take was towards a better day Cause I'm about to
Say goodbye to every single lie
And all the fears I've held too long inside
Every time I felt I could try
All the negativity I had inside
For too long I've been struggling. I couldn't go on
But now I've found I'm feeling strong and moving on
I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna keep on singing my song*
Bryce watched her neck. He loved the way she looked when she sang. Now, how to make Heeray his. She was a little headstrong. Plus, her brother would be lurking around every corner. He started the choir synthesizer and kept watching.
*Whoa, and every time I tried to be what they wanted from me
It never came naturally
So I ended up in misery, wasn't able to see
All the good around me
They wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Simply just remembering to breathe
I'm human, I ain't able to please
Everyone at the same time, so now I find
My peace of mind living one day at a time
In the end I answer to one god
It comes down to one love
Until I get to heave above
I've made the decision
Never to give up
Til the I day I die no matter what
I'm gonna carry on & keep on singing my song...*
As she kept singing, Heeray got the odd feeling that someone was watching her. Opening her eyes, she saw that Bryce was in his dreamy state watching her. She smiled. She liked him. He was cute.
(They can't take anything from me)
I believe that they can do what they wanna.
Say what they wanna say
(They can say what they wanna)
But I'm gonna keep on
(Keep on )
I believe it
That they can take from me
But they can't take my inner peace
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Say what you wanna say, but I'm gonna sing my song
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Heeray giggled and looked at him. He was watching her. They smiled at each other. Jay rolled his eyes and sighed. He wondered where this would end up. He knew where her career would do: up.
AN: This is getting longer and longer. Besides, all the songs that Heeray will sing come from Christina Aguilera's Stripped album. Hope you guys like this.
