Surprises of Life Chapter 5 The Disappearance of a Pop Star

Brian's POV (Kayla)

Ring...Ring...Ring...

"What the hell is that noise" I muttered as I got up from my bed, failing miserably at not trying to wake up Finn in the process.

He got up to see me in a white tank top and a pair of checkered red shorts, "It's the phone, Kayla. Hurry up and answer it, it's giving me a headache."

"I am getting it, just shut up for once, Finn!" I semi-yelled before picking up the phone. "WHAT!" I yelled it the phone.

"Um...Brian, is everything alright?" Chase asked.

"Yeah, everything's just dandy!" I semi-yelled.

"I'm hungry, Kayla. Will you make me breakfast?" Finn whined.

"Make your own breakfast, Finn! I'm not always going to be here for you." I yelled.

"Um...Brian..." Chase said.

"YES, what do you want? Me to make breakfast for you too." I said exasperated.

"Um...no...I just wanted to tell you that usually the whole town gets together to watch the news this morning so I thought maybe you should stop by..." Chase said.

"Okay...yeah sure, I'll be there. What time does it start?" I asked when we heard a huge clang in my kitchen.

"FINN...! What the hell are you doing?" I yelled.

"I'm making breakfast for the both of us?" Finn said.

"Aww, that's so sweet, thanks, but your failing miserably. I'll help you in a second, okay!" I said.

"Okay! I love your breakfasts, Kayla!" Finn said.

"I love you too, Finn." I said. "For your humor, anyway." I muttered under my breath.

"Um...Brian, it starts at 9:00 so don't be late." Chase said.

"Okay, thanks see you, then." I said before hanging up.

"Let's make a quick breakfast before I start work so we're not late." I said to Finn.

"Late for what exactly?" Finn asked as he tried to crack an egg.

"To see the news, I guess the whole town gets together to watch the news once a week or something like that." I said as I cracked Finn's egg and my own.

"Ohh yeah, I always wonder what they were doing. Kasey never went to one of those." Finn said as he sat the table.

"Hopefully, it won't be that bad because I've already been here for a few weeks and I haven't done anything to get closer to completing my mission." I sighed.

"Don't worry about it, Kasey couldn't do anything to complete his mission and he spent two and a half years trying." Finn said with a dismissive wave before digging into his plate of eggs that I sat down in front of him.

"But what if I have the same problem that I can't do anything to help the island, am I going to spend four years trying futilely until I give up?" I asked with a frown.

"Don't worry, Kayla your the person the Harvest Goddess needs to save this island. You'll be a hero!" Finn smiled.

"Thanks Finn for the support, but we should hurry, we really don't want to be late." I said before we both started shoveling food into our mouths before I changed into my work clothes and hurried to start work.

Chase's POV

"That was a really weird conversation." Owen said.

"You didn't have to be the one speaking, now did you?" I frowned.

"You lost fair in square." Jin said.

"Yeah..., but I shouldn't have to do it, though." I said.

"So Gill, your father asked YOU to do it, but instead you decided to draw straws to see which one us has to do it." I stated.

"As Jin said, You lost fair in square." Gill said.

"Whatever..." I sighed.

"Let's go practice a little bit before we have to go see the news." Calvin said.

"Yeah! Let's go!" Luke yelled as we went into the town hall's music room.

We quickly sat up our instruments.

"1-and a-2-and a-3" Luke yelled before starting the beat and before Calvin, Owen and Julius started playing.

Gill and I counted measures of rest before we started singing.

I stood there waiting

Waiting for you to come home to me

What will I do without you by my side

I need you in my life

You promised me that you would come back

Was it a lie? Did you run off with someone else?

Do you not need me anymore?

I stood there for hours...days waiting for you

Please come home to me

I miss having you by my side

I just want you to be mine

"That was beautiful!" Hamilton said clapping.

"Ohh hey, Mayor Hamilton! What's up!" we said.

"It's time for the news, let's get going." Hamilton said before leaving.

"Let's go" I said after we put away our instruments.

We walked out of the town hall up to the plaza.

"Who was that Finn person Brian was talking too while on the phone with us?" Luke asked really loud, loud enough for everyone who was already in the plaza waiting for the news to come on to turn around towards us.

"Was he WITH a man this early in the morning?" Ruth asked.

"I told you he was gay, he's just too pretty to be straight!" Craig said making the townspeople nod in agreement.

Everyone started talking all at once when we heard running come up the path to the plaza.

"Sorry I'm late." Brian panted from his run up here.

Everyone grew quiet all at once staring at him.

"Is the government going to start a nuclear war or something? Why are you all giving me a weird look for?" he asked chuckling to the first part of his sentence before finishing with a confused look.

We all broke out of our daze when Hamilton said, "Ohh, the news just turned on let's watch!"

We all turned towards the huge tv screen.

News Reporter's POV

"This is Sally Davis with your morning news."

"It's a beautiful sunny day in the city at 75 degrees."

"We just got breaking news. Rebecca Smith will give you the latest update...Rebecca?"

"Sally, we just got a report that Little Pri did not show up for her very first concert without Wish today."

"Oh shit, I knew I forgot something." Kayla thought looking at Finn.

"How many people were waiting for her to show up?" Sally asked.

"More than two thousand people were waiting with tickets that cost more than a hundred dollars." Rebecca answered.

"That's awful, she should be ashamed of herself. Will she be giving refunds?" Sally asked.

"That's where this story takes an interesting turn." Sally said. "We figured out who was the guy that asked her hand in marriage in front of the whole world at her last concert with Wish is Derrick Williams, heir of Williams Incorporated. We asked him a couple of questions about Little Pri when we met up with him outside his parents' building."

The screen which turned to Rebecca going up to Derrick outside the building.

"Derrick Williams, correct?" Rebecca asked.

"Yes, what can I do for you this fine morning." Derrick smirked.

"We have a couple of questions to ask you about Little Pri." she said.

"I don't want to talk about that bitch..." he said.

Everyone gasped...

"Um...how do you know Little Pri?"

"You're not going to give up are you?" he sighed messing with his hair.

She shook her head.

"Fine...I don't care about her, I've never have even when we were little she would annoying."

"So you grew up with Little Pri?"

"No, I didn't grow up with Little Pri."

"Then...how do you know her?"

"I grew up with my two best friends in the whole world, we would do everything together, but...they changed..."

"If your not going to answer my questions about Little Pri we're done here."

"Fine..., but can I ask you one question?"

"Yeah...?"

"Do you know the actual names of Wish and Little Pri?"

Everyone started guessing about their actual names.

"You know their actual names?" she asked in shocked.

It would be the biggest scoop ever for there station.

"Of course I know their actual names, I grew up with them! I still can't believe how stupid the world has been to not figure their names or who their parents are."

"Let me get this straight for our viewers, you not only grew up with Little Pri but also with Wish?"

"Yeah."

At this same time Wish is in his parents' building across the street from where this interview was taking place.

"You shouldn't let him say your name, get going!" his father said Wish nodding as he ran out of the office and down flights of stairs to the ground floor across the street to the interview.

"What the hell do you think you are doing, Derrick?" Wish said coming over into the camera's view in a suit without a tie, the top buttons on his dress shirt unbuttoned and his sleeves rolled up to his elbow. His hair was spiky like it usually was, but his most noticeable features are his whitish hair and his golden eyes.

"This is getting interesting." she said to the camera.

"You promised never to tell anyone our actual names, Derrick. You know she'll be mad with you." Wish said.

"I don't care anymore, I loved her and she broke my heart in front of the WHOLE WORLD. Do you think I would actually keep that stupid promise after that?" Derrick said.

"You just said you loved her, you never stop loving someone even if she is with someone else."

"How would you know?"

"Because you've been engaged to her since she's been born actually before that, she was promised to you by her parents."

"How do you know that?" Derrick asked in shock.

"She told me everything after we left the concert when you pulled that stunt...she cried because she thought she lost you as a friend and I sat through all of her explanation about how she never accepted my dates or when I asked her to be my girlfriend. I loved her even then, but I was rejected every single time because she was stuck with you and now you're going to screw up my life and even her life more than it already is. She's not even here to defend herself!" Wish yelled breathing raggedly.

"Christopher, you are going to make yourself sick if you keep yelling and getting angry like that." a woman said the woman and the man with her were in suits walked over to him, the woman came to hug Wish.

"Mr. and Mrs. O'Neil!" Rebecca said to the camera.

"What are you guys doing here?" Chris (Wish) asked.

"Sweetheart, it's time to tell the world the truth even if this isn't the way we wanted it to happen." Mrs. O'Neil said her husband nodding in agreement.

"So your the parents of Wish?" Rebecca asked Mr. and Mrs. O'Neil.

"Yes we are and our son's name is Christopher O'Neil, the heir to our company.

"You hear that world, Wish's actual name is Christopher O'Neil." Rebecca said to the camera.

Every girl all over the world squealed all at once at this moment...except for Kayla.

"Just call me Chris, please. Now, that that's over with, Derrick are you happy, now?" Chris asked with a glare that made the girls squeal even more.

"No, we didn't tell the world Little Pri's actual name yet..." Derrick smirked.

"You're not still going to go through with that are you? She's not even here to say that she wants you to say her actual name." Chris said.

Brian pulled out his cellphone to call Chris. He walked away from everyone.

Everyone turned to see Brian walk away dialing a number...soon he was out of sight probably heading home or something.

"Kayla, where are we going?" Finn asked her as they walked out of town to the beach right outside of town where they stopped.

Her call went through, "Chris, put me on speaker." she said.

After Brian left Chris answered his phone.

"Are you sure? Fine..." he said into the phone before getting off of it.

"We're in luck, I guess...I put her on speaker." Chris said pressing the speaker button on his phone.

"Little Pri is that you?" Rebecca asked.

Chase walked away whispering to us that he was going to go find Brian.

He walked on the bridge towards the entrance of town that leads out to the farm to see Brian on the beach below. He was too faraway to hear what he was saying...

Back to the interview... (Gill's POV)

"Yes, I'm Little Pri and I'm so sorry Derrick...Chris I never met to hurt either of you...I didn't know what to do about my situation. I did what I thought was best for me...I'm sorry..." Little Pri trailed off sounding like she was crying.

Everyone felt sorry for this girl.

"There is more to my story than falling in love with my two best friends...way more and it'll have to stay a mystery until I come back and that's how it will stay until that time when the three of us are together once more. I can tell you that my actual name is Kayla Blythe and that I love you both Chris...Derrick more than you both can possibly know...bye." Kayla said before hanging up.

Derrick and Chris had tears in their eyes, "Dammit..." they both muttered under their breath.

"That is the latest on the disappearance of the most talented and secretive pop star in history." Rebecca said to the camera before the tv cut to black and Hamilton shut it off.

"That girl is stupid for making those two handsome guys wait for her." Luna said making Selena, and Maya nod in agreement.

Everyone agreed with her except for Kathy, Renee, Candace, Anissa, Chase, and Brian who came back with Chase just now.

He looked like he's been crying, who would be stupid enough to show that you've been crying...it shows how weak you are that's not good to show to people that think you're gay and a weirdo.

"You all wouldn't understand, what she's going through unless you've fallen in love with someone you can't ever be with..." Brian said before turning and walking away, again.

"Brian...!" Chase yelled after him...with a slight twinge of longing in his purple irises.
