Chapter 2 Surprises of Life

Gill's POV

"Are you guys ready to ROCK" the announcer yelled.

"Yeah" everyone yelled except for me who had a frown on my face when the Wish guy came out on stage.

(Music starts playing)

I want to know where you've been.

How can you just leave me like you did.

Where are all the memories we shared.

Don't they mean anything to you anymore.

I want to know how you'll just forget me.

After everything we've been through.

How will you forget me.

How will you forget me.

I won't forget you and you won't forget me.

I will always remember the times we had together.

I won't forget you.

I'll always keep my door open for you.

I'll always keep my door open for you.

(Repeats a couple of times)

"THAT WAS AWESOME" Luke yelled while every girl in the room happily sighed in love with that guy.

"That was pretty good, right Gill" Chase asked for all of the guys noticing my frown.

"The song was a little mushy for my tastes, and the guy is...well a guy and I don't lean that way" I explained.

"Wow Gill, your such a party pooper" Luna whined.

"Are you lady and gents ready to hear the talented, amazing, and especially beautiful LITTLE PRI" the announcer yelled getting every guys attention while losing all of the girls when Wish left the stage.

The reddish brunette walked out with a beautiful smile to the middle of the stage.

(Music starts playing)

A girl walks towards her locker, everyone staring at her.

She opens it and out drops her books, covered in slime.

I'm beautiful.

Why can't I be popular like those other girls.

Why can't I have a popular boyfriend.

Why can't I have any friends that will stay by my side.

What did I ever do to deserve losing you, as my friend.

You left me out in the cold.

And left me for those popular girls.

I lost you as a friend.

And I'll never get you back!

I don't need you anymore!

I'm beautiful in every way you can't be.

(Repeats a couple of times)

"NOW that was awesome" Chase said to me.

"Yeah...it was" I whispered to myself with a small smile.
Every girl in the room was paying attention now to the stage.

"I would like to thank you all for coming" Kayla said.

"Yeah...and we would like to sing one more song for our fans which will be on our newest album" Chris said coming back on stage.

Everyone excitedly yelled (including me) for the new album and for the last song that Wish and Little Pri will sing together.

Wish walks to the middle of the stage to stand next to Little Pri before they started.

(Music starts playing)

(Kayla's)

I've love you since I was a little girl.

We've done everything together.

How can you just leave me like you did.

(Chris's)

I've love you since we were kids.

We grew up together.

How did we grow apart.

(Both)

I love you with all my heart, how can you just leave me like you did.

How did we break apart.

(Kayla's)

I still love you even if you don't.

You can move on and I'll be alright.

I love you and I won't forget you.

(Chris's)

I still love you even if your with some other guy.

You can move on and I'll be alright.

I love you and don't forget that.

(Both)

Please, come back into my life.

I'll always have a place for you in my heart.

I love you.

Chris kisses me after we say the last words.

We turn towards the wild audience, "Thank you guys for coming" we said before waving and heading backstage.

Kayla's POV

We walked to our dressing rooms when I stopped Chris in front of them, "Why did you kiss me for"

"Kayla, I've love you since we were kids and I know you don't feel the same for me, but that doesn't change how I feel about you" Chris said.

"Chris...I'm sorry, but..." I trailed off.

"It's ok" he said walking into my dressing room with me when I noticed a bouquet of flowers.

"These are beautiful..." I said smelling the flowers.

"Yeah, they remind me of you that's why I got them" Chris said.

"Thank you...Chris"

"Yeah..."

"I love you, but I can't do this...I'm sorry"

"At least you said you love me...that's all I need now, when your ready I'll be waiting for you"

"Ok..." I said kissing his cheek when our managers came in and saw us which made us both blush.

"Everyone is talking about that kiss you guys did, did you two plan that" Jenna, Chris's manager said.

We were speechless, "It doesn't matter, everyone thinks you two are perfect together" John, my manager said.

We turned to look at each other before facing our managers, "WHAT" we both yelled.

"Anyway, you two have some fans that got backstage passes, which will be coming here any minute, so get out there" they said pushing us out of the room before running off somewhere.

"They didn't even say how many people were coming" I pouted.

"Well...it doesn't matter now...there's fourteen people coming this way" Chris said before the said people rushed over to us talking all at once.

"I'm going to kill those two..." I whispered to Chris which made him burst out laughing, which made the fourteen people stop talking, which made us both burst out laughing before we got a hold of ourselves.

"Ok, this is how it's going to go, get into groups with your friends and we'll take pictures one group at a time" Chris explained before they all started making groups.

We took like a billion pictures with those crazy, insane fanboys and fangirls and each time we took pictures Chris was by my side secretly holding my hand.

"Finally, that's over" I sighed when I noticed Kasey leaning against the wall.

"How long have you been standing there" I asked.

"Enough...anyway you guys were great, especially that kiss that everyone is talking about" Kasey smirked.

"Shut up Kasey, we already had to deal with fourteen crazy fans...we're tired and want to go home" I said.

"Fourteen...well you do know that they had thirty backstage passes for your fans" Kasey said.

"Thirty..." I said with shock.

"Where's the other sixteen people at then" Chris asked.

"We're right here" the blond guy said from earlier with eight girls and seven other guys with him.

We turned towards them and Chris and I were in shock at seeing the peach haired girl that stalked us everywhere we went.

As soon as Chris saw her, he jumped behind me to try and hide.

"You know that's not going to help you, Chris" I said which made Kasey burst out laughing.

"What the hell are you doing here" the blond guy asked giving Kasey a death glare.

"I have the right to be here too" Kasey said stepping closer to the blond, glaring at each other like they were going to kill each other.

The peach haired guy held back the blond while I got in between Kasey and the guy, "Kasey you shouldn't be acting this way"

"Your right...I'm sorry" Kasey said hugging me to the eight guys surprise which made him smirk.

I pulled away, "Anyway, before you guys want to kill each other again, do you guys want a picture or something before we leave"

They nodded and we took a picture this time Chris and I were posing like we were taking this picture for the front part of our album.

"Anyway, we have to leave now" I said taking Chris's hand and grabbing my brother's arm and dragging him with us as they walked out with us.

Kasey pulled away from me as we left the building from a side entrance that let us easily make it to the limo when we saw all kinds of flashes from cameras.

We walked closer to the limo when I saw Derrick come up to us.

"What are you doing here" I asked.

"I came here because your parents finally decided that I could give you this" Derrick said getting down on one knee in front of the whole world.

"Will you marry me" Derrick asked putting the ring on my finger.

Everyone stared shocked at this proposal.

"Get the hell up, why would you do this to me" I said pulling him up from the ground and dropping the engagement ring on the ground.

"But..." he said.

"I've realized that I've never loved you, I'm in love with Chris...sorry" I said turning my back to him which he took as the truth and picked up the ring and left broken hearted and embarrassed.

"Kasey, get the hell in the car" I said when Chris came and took my hand.

"Fine..." Kasey said hopping into the limo.

"Your parents had you engaged to that guy this whole time" Chris whispered to me.

I nodded, "Chris can I stay at your place, I really don't want to even look at my parents right now"

"Yeah, come on" he said helping me into the limo before we drove away to drop off Kasey at his hotel room and drove over to Chris's house.

"Here we are...are you sure your alright" he said.

I nodded before holding his hand and walking inside with him.

"Well that's the tour" he said showing me where everything is which was pointless since this is practically my second home.

"Um...thanks again for letting me stay here" I said when we heard a knock on the door, which Chris opened to show a guy who delivered a movie for us to watch.

"Here let's watch this movie, go sit down while I go get something which will help you feel better" he said walking into the kitchen.

"What movie is it" I asked as he came back putting the disc in the DVD player.

"You'll find out soon enough..." he said sitting down next to me.

"A chick flick seriously" I asked.

"Yep and this" he said holding up a bottle of wine before pouring each of us a glass.

We watched and drank when halfway through we weren't paying attention to the movie anymore instead we were making out on his sofa.

"Chris..."

"Y-Yeah..."

"I love you...more than you can possibly understand"

"I love you..." he said lifting me up, letting me wrap my legs around his waist before walking upstairs to his bedroom.

The next morning...

"Hey Chris, how are you feeling this morning after figuring out the girl your in love with is engaged" Jake said.

"I'm fine..." he said cooking breakfast and handing him some.

"So you watched this chick flick last night because you don't have a girlfriend...what a shame when you are wanted by every female on this planet"

"Your not fine your depressed, you need to get some action" Jake said.

"I think he's fine" I said coming down the stairs in one of Chris's t-shirts and a pair of his shorts.

"How are you feeling this morning" Chris asked kissing me on my lips before I sat down at the table being handed breakfast.

"Great...since you were with me" I smiled.

"Man...how come you didn't tell me you were with a girl last night" Jake said.

"There's nothing to share" Chris said making us both laugh at Jake's frown.

"Anyway, Kayla do you want to go get some coffee" Chris asked.

"Yeah sure, let me go change into my clothes and then we can go" I said kissing Chris before heading back up stairs.

"Wow, are you two dating now" Jake asked.

"That's the thing I don't know, we haven't talked about it yet" Chris said.

"Hey Chris..." I said walking back down the stairs in my dress.

"Yeah..." Chris said when I walked up to him and Jake.

"Can you zip up my dress for me" I asked turning around for him.

"Yeah sure" Chris said zipping it up and hugging me to his chest to kiss me on the cheek.

"Chris, stop your friend is here" I giggled.

"No it's fine, I'm just glad Chris is happy WITH YOU" Jake emphasized.

Chris gave Jake a glare, "Is that what your worried about Chris. We are dating, right"

"I don't know...I didn't want to force you into a relationship with me after what happened last night at the concert" Chris explained.

"Well, if you think you want to then I will go out with you" I said holding his hand.

"This feels right" Chris said walking with me to the car with Jake ahead of us.

We drove to the coffee shop and got out of the car.

"I'll get us a table, you two lovebirds can wait in line" Jake said heading to a table when we just got inside surprising everyone.

"Looks like they recognize us" I whispered holding his hand.

"Yeah...and I don't care they can write whatever they want" Chris said wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Chris" I giggled.

"I love" he whispered in my ear, kissing me on my cheek.

"Um...what can I get for you" the barista asked sighing, falling in love with Chris.

"Two caramel frappés, one chocolate frappé, a chocolate cookie, and two brownies please" Chris said letting go of me to get out his wallet from his jeans.

I just noticed that everyone in the room were dreamily staring at us both men and women.

I also noticed that Chris was wearing a gray sweatshirt with the record company logo we always use on it and it looked good on him.

The barista gave us our coffee and desserts, Chris paid and we left hand in hand to where Jake was taking a nap.

We plopped down and woke him up which made me giggle when Chris gave him his chocolate cookie and frappé.

"What took so long" Jake whined.

"Everyone started drooling over Chris especially the barista" I said.

"Are you jealous" Chris asked with a smirk.

"I am not jealous" I stated.

"Hey it's alright, all of the guys in the room were staring at you, but I know you would choose me over any of those other guys and I want you to know that the same goes for you. I would choose you over any of those other girls" Chris said kissing me on the lips which I let him do happily.

We sat there and talked when Kasey came in and sat down next to Jake with a cup of coffee.

"Hey Kasey, what's up" Jake said doing some guy handshake thingie.

"Nothing, just came to see how our little Chris is treating my sister" Kasey smirked taking a sip from his coffee.

"Wait...your sister" Jake asked shocked, turning towards me.

"Yes, he's my older brother" I said.

"Oh..." Jake said.

"Anyway, mother and father called me this morning because they were worried that you didn't come home last night" Kasey explained.

"Well, you can't blame me because of that stunt they tried to pull after the concert" I pouted.

"Yeah I don't blame you, even I don't want to be around them" Kasey said making all of us burst out laughing.

My phone started vibrating, "Sorry, I have to take this it's probably mother and father anyway"

I got up and went outside to answer the call.

"Hello" I said.

"Kayla, your parents are freaking out over you not coming home" Marvin said.

"Well, they planned that stunt from a while. Anyway, if that is all you wanted to tell me then I'll hang up now because I'm not coming home anytime soon" I said.

"I know...anyway I wanted to tell you that I got you the clothes you need for your plan" Marvin said.

"Thank you, can you bring them to me later at Chris's house...and Marvin please don't tell my parents where I am...just tell them I'm fine" I said.

"Ok...are you not going to say goodbye to your parents before you leave for Castanet" Marvin asked.

"Yeah, I can't even look at them right now...anyway bye" I said.

"Goodbye" he said before hanging up.

I walked back inside not paying attention to all of the camera flashes surrounding me and plopped down next to Chris.

"Who was that" Chris asked.

"It was Marvin telling me that my parents were freaking out and that he got me the clothes I wanted which he'll bring by later" I said.

"Wait...your moving in with him already, don't you think you two are moving kinda fast" Jake said.

"No...well it's not like that...I'm leaving on a trip and he's going to bring me the clothes and other stuff I need for my trip, sorry..." I whispered.

"It's ok you planned this trip before all this drama started so you still can go and when you come back we can decide what we'll do about us" Chris said hugging me.

"Thanks Chris for everything" I said kissing him.

Later at Chris's house...

Knock...Knock

"I'll be there in a sec" I said going to the door to open it to see Marvin.

"Here are your two bags, one of clothes and the other personal stuff and this bag too" he said handing me the mysterious bag.

"What's in it" I asked looking at the leather messenger bag.

"Some female clothes and more personal stuff...be careful, ok" Marvin said hugging me.

"You know I will, come in you need to do my makeover" I smiled.

We walked to the downstairs bathroom and went inside.

"Have you told Chris you are leaving..."

"Yeah...I have..."

"But you haven't told him who you have to pretend to be, right..."

"Your right...anyway hurry up"

"Fine, hold still..."

An hour later...

"Ok now presenting the new look of Kayla Blythe" Marvin announced to Chris and Kasey.

I stepped out of the bathroom still in my dress, but with a short boyish haircut like my brother's with a few differences.

"Wow, you look like a cross dressing dude" Kasey said falling to the floor laughing so hard while, Chris just stared at me.

I slapped Kasey on the face before turning to Chris, "It's still me...it's just..."

"Wow, your hair is way better looking then mine" Chris smiled which I playfully punched his arm.

"That's not funny" I pouted.

"I'm sorry, your right that was really rude of me" Chris said kissing me on the lips.

"So...you aren't mad with me" I asked.

"Why would I be mad with you for" Chris asked confused.

"Mad that I have to dress as a guy to leave for my new home, which means I won't be back for a while" I said.

"No, I'm not mad...just be careful and call me whenever you need me for anything...and I mean ANYTHING" Chris said.

"Good, I'll be right back..." I said running back to the bathroom.

I changed into some jeans and a blue t-shirt over a vest that makes me look flat-chested, putting on some sneakers and a gray hoody before walking out with my three bags that I'm taking with me.

"Now that your all guyed up, are you ready" Kasey asked with a smirk.

"Yeah" I said sounding like a total guy on the first try.

"Great, here's the directions to Castanet...good luck sis" Kasey hugged me before leaving to give Chris and I time to say goodbye to each other.

"Well...good luck with farming" Chris said before kissing me.

"Bye...thanks for everything" I said before opening the door.

"Kayla...what is your name going to be" Chris asked.

I stopped in the doorway, "It's Brian...why do you want to know"

"To make sure your not cheating on me" Chris smiled.

"I wouldn't even think about cheating on you" I said.

"Just be careful, ok" Chris said hugging me.

"Ok...I will" I said pulling away from him.

I started reluctantly walking away from him when he said, "I'll drop you off at the dock"

"Um...ok..." I said when Chris ran up to me with his car keys and we got into his car with my bags in the trunk.

We got out of the car and I got my bags from the trunk. We walked to the boat I would be sailing on to Castanet.

"When you are ready come aboard and we'll set off" the captain said, "By the way I'm Pascal"

"Thank you Pascal, I'll be right there" I said before he went on board to the helm of the ship to wait for me.

"Kayla...call me when you get the chance after settling in, ok" Chris whispered hugging me.

"I will..." I said pulling away from him and forcing myself onto the boat, nodding for Pascal to go before I changed my mind about any of this.

The boat sat sail leaving everything I've ever held dear behind me for my unknown future and we waved to each other until the other was only a dot on the horizon.
