Chapter 3.

I found my way back from wardrobe and make up with the help of Katy Perry's assistant, and a guard that I remember seeing near my dressing room. This place was an Electra situation waiting to happen.

When I did get back, I saw my manager sitting on the couch. I inwardly groaned, walking past her and grabbing my phone.

"You're back." She said in a fairly demeaning voice. Truth be told, I hated Miss Kathryn. And she hated me, because I never did what she told me.

I sat down on the armchair perpendicular to her couch and dialed through my phone. I found Kevin's number and opened the 'new text' option.

'Hey. Sorry I couldn't make it tonight, but I hope you have a great show. I'll be watching on TV! -Macy'

I smiled, turning it off and flipped it shut.

"In five minutes, we're leaving for backstage."

"What time is it?"

"Eight-thirty. They suggested all performers be slightly early."

"Fine." I said, sighing.

"So, I met with that band JONAS' manager earlier."

"Hm." I said, annoyed with her.

"Mr. Lucas suggested to me when we talked earlier that you meet the boys."

"I've met them before."

"Not as Luna."

"I don't want to meet them as Luna. That's just a bad idea."

"No, it's a good idea. Get them to do a song with you. It would help your sales."

"I don't need help with my sales. I'm fine."

"There's always room for improvement." That's her slogan. She says it all the time. Especially when I give my opinion on something involving Luna. Her job is my business. She is payed to make sure I don't screw everything up. So nobody finds out who I really am. But she's often caught up in how much I make, and how much she gets paid.

"Nevertheless, you're meeting them."

"Kathryn, I don't want to risk anything."

"You won't be. It's nothing major. Record a single, maybe a music video, then be done with it. Nothing serious." She pushes. I roll my eyes and stand up. I walked over to my purse and slid my phone inside. "Now, let's go."

"Fine. Whatever." I said, straightening out my black strapless dress and flicking a piece of blonde over my shoulder. She took her bag and led me down the hall, towards the backstage. When we got to the green room, I saw Kevin, Nick, and Joe standing in the corner with Mr. Lucas and Stella. I saw Stella's glance fall on me and she elbowed Joe to look. He saw me and his eyes widened. Nick turned and looked at me, and soon, all the eyes of JONAS were staring at me in slight awe.

I could have died, right there and then, and I would have been 100 percent happy.

I inwardly squealed as they watched me walk over to the corner. Miss Kathryn walked over to Mr. Lucas, and I saw him nod, animatedly, then Kathryn waved for me to come over. I sighed, walked towards them.

"Luna, this is Mr. Lucas. The boy's father, and manager." I nodded, shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you." I said, trying to make my voice sound slightly different.

"These are my boys, Kevin, Nick, and Joe." He said, gesturing to them. I shook their hands quickly and smiled softly. "And their stylist, Stella."

"Yeah, Stella and I met earlier."

"Oh, good." I nodded, smiling. My heart was beating ridiculously fast, and I found myself staring at Kevin slightly.

"We should work on something together. I'm sure it'd be great working with someone new." Joe pushed, smiling at me, then glancing at his dad, as to show he was doing his best to bring up a recently discussed topic.

"Of course. That'd be great." I said, glancing to Kathryn the same way Joe had looked at his dad.

"Great. It's settled." Kathryn said, walking to Mr. Lucas as they started chattering. I fell silent, my head throbbing in the stress of standing infront of my favorite people in the world, pretending to be someone else, and lying to them. Lying to JONAS. What kind of fan was I?

The five of us stood in somewhat of an awkward silence, that is until there was a blatant beeping and Kevin squirmed. He grabbed his phone and searched through it, suddenly letting out a loud groan.

"Not her?" Joe said, putting his hand on Kevin's shoulder.

"No. Just a dumb Verizon update thing.

"Who?" Stella said.

"Kevin invited Macy to come and she turned him down." Nick explained. I saw Kevin's sad expression and felt awful for lying.

"Macy? Macy,...said no to coming to see JONAS perform live? You're kidding, right?"

"No, she said she had to go to her dad's this weekend."

"Wait, what?" Stella asked, boggled. "Kev, I hate to break this to you...but, Macy's dad died when she was three. That's not possible." She bit her lip nervously.

"She...she lied?" Kevin said, completely devastated.

"Kevin, I'm sure she had a good reason not to come. Don't let it get you down." I said quickly, trying to keep myself from blurting out something stupid.

"Luna's right, Kev. Macy loves you guys too much to turn this down for no reason."

"Are you sure? Maybe she just doesn't like me..."

"Wait, Kev, you don't actually like, like-like Macy, do you?" Kevin looked to Stella cautiously and shrugged.

"She's fun to be around. Especially since she stopped flinging sports equipment at us." He said softly.

"Awww! Kevin has a crush on Macy!"

"Stella..." Kevin said, blushing. Suddenly, my head clouded into a sea of shock, and my knees went numb. I found myself collapsing, and everything went blank.

--

I felt my head clearing and any smog that covered my eyes start to disappear. I lazily opened them and looked around. Overhead, Miss Kathryn stared intently, and Kevin sat on the edge of the couch I was sprawled across, looking worried. The rest of the group was crowded around me.

"Luna, are you okay?" Kevin asked nervously. I nodded slightly and looked up at Kathryn.

"Are you okay to perform, or do you need a doctor?" She said urgently.

"I...I think...I think I should go." I said, pressing my fingertips into my temple.

"Alright. It's better you get rest now than be sick tomorrow morning. You know how Tom gets when you're late for recording." I nodded slightly, glancing up at everyone. Stella had a surprised look on. I could tell she thought I was lying before when I told her I couldn't stay to watch the boys. Nick and Joe looked concerned and Kevin had a slight look of guilt on his face. Kathryn grabbed my arm as I stood up, sighing.

"Come on, Luna. We need to get you to a hospital." I nodded and followed her, frowning.

"Feel better, Luna." Kevin said softly to me. I looked back at him and smiled weakly.

"Thanks, Kevin."

We left promptly after leaving the greenroom. I got my things and we left. I changed in the Limo into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with my Horace Mantis Academy hockey hoodie on over it. Miss Kathryn checked me into the emergency room and we waited. It wasn't long before I was lying on a bed in a hospital room.

The doctor said that I had fainted from stress, and I was overworking myself. He said it was probably set off by something surprising. I was ordered to bed rest for the next three days and I wasn't allowed to record the next morning.

I really wish that I would have gone on instead of leaving.

So, there's chapter three. I stayed up until around 3 writing it, and now, I'm tired.

But, in brighter news, I ordered my tickets to Honor Society at the TLA on the 23rd. So excited. And Otakon this weekend! -squee-

Reviews would be amazing, pretties.
