So, I'm about to go off to college soon, so I decided to give you guys a chapter before I go off into the world of college and young adults.
Ciel: You're leaving us?
Me: Yes and no. I will have a laptop on me and a flash drive and will TRY to post as much as I can with my studies and such.
Sebastian: It pains me that you don't post as often as you used to. I miss you terribly.
Me: Sebastian stop, you're gonna make me cry. Ok, you guys know the drill. Kuroshitsuji does not belong to me, no matter how much I love Sebastian. . . sighs. . . It belongs to Yana Toboso.
Did Sebastian just seriously corner me asking what I'd do or how I'd act around him? He's got some nerve! I mean, I like him, but seriously he's only going to make me want him a little more and I need to try and be more hard to get.
I changed out of my conference outfit and changed back into my normal street clothes. I did have a small rehearsal for my show, so I had to head to the venue as soon as possible.
Ciel's Point of View~
"Sebastian, I do not appreciate you harassing Violet." 'Whatever do you mean, my lord?" Sebastian said as he looked down at me with a small smirk playing on his lips. "Have you taken a liking to Violet?" I asked him. He cannot lie to me, so I expect the truth to come out of his mouth. "What if I do? What will you do to me, my lord?" Sebastian said as his smirked turned into a mischievous grin.
I don't like how Sebastian is speaking to me. "My lord, are you perhaps jealous that I have taken a liking to Violet and am taking action?" I slapped Sebastian and glared at him. "Sebastian, remember your place. You will not talk down to me, and that's an order." "Yes, my lord." Sebastian said with a monotone voice.
Violet's Point of View~
It was very tense during the ride to the venue. Ciel wasn't talking to anyone as he kept his eyes on his phone. Sebastian just stared ahead, but every once and a while, our eyes would meet and he would smile a small smile. We finally arrived at the venue and I was taken to the stage almost immediately.
"All right Violet, we went over some choreography and we changed a few things." My choreographer said. "All right. Show me the changes." I watched the choreographer go over the new choreography. It didn't take long for me to actually pick it up. I had been dancing for almost as long as I had been alive, before I realized how much I loved singing.
I had to talk to everyone about security and how the tour will be from now on, since my life may be in critical danger. I had Adrian gather everyone backstage into a room, so I could tell the news.
"All right everyone. I know that this tour is supposed to be fun and us traveling the world, but it's also business. Yesterday was a HUGE wake up call for pretty much all of us, so from now on, we have a buddy system. You don't go anywhere unless you are with a buddy and Adrian is aware of it, understand?" I said. I got a bunch of murmurs in agreement, so I moved on the the next order of business.
"I decided that I wanted to change the look of the tour, in other words, me. I refuse to wear that ungodly purple wig that doesn't even match my caramel colored skin. I like my dark brown hair. Also, since I no longer want to wear that wig, Adrian, I need you to call a photographer and we have to reshoot all of my merchandise."
"Violet, this is extremely unprofessional. You can't just up and change your mind about how everything looks." "I'm the artist, aren't I? I believe I should have say on how I look and what I want." "I know that, but-" "This isn't going up for discussion. I'm only changing a few things. The tour itself is the same, I just want the merchandise to be correct." "Fine." "All right. Everyone rest up. I have a sound check and a meet and greet to do."
Everyone went to do their own thing and I was stopped by Adrian. "What's your deal?" "What are you talking about?" "You're acting so in charge. It's a good thing, but what's up?" "I don't want a repeat of what happened when I first became famous. I need to be in control." "I know Violet, but who are you trying to prove? This isn't for Sebastian, is it?" "No. I'm doing this for me. I hadn't even thought of that, until you brought it up." "Good. I think he likes you the way you are anyway. Not some bossy know-it-all." "Good to know." "I'll go grab your dinner, what do you want?" "If you can find a Chipotle, you know what I want. Otherwise, surprise me." "Got you. Have fun at your meet and greets." "Thanks."
Ciel's Point of View~
I never thought I'd see Violet so in control over everything. I think that whole almost kidnapping thing has really shaken her. What if she goes back to how she used to be when she first got famous? No, I don't believe that. She's stronger than that. I went to Violet's dressing room and started up my laptop. Elizabeth has been sending me a ton of emails, so I thought it be best if I responded while I still had time to myself.
Elizabeth: Ciel! You haven't spoken to me in ages!
Ciel: Lizzy, I just saw you yesterday. I think you're just worried about me.
Elizabeth: I'm always worried about you Ciel, but I know that Sebastian and everyone else is protecting you. How's being on tour with Violet?
Ciel: Violet's really cool. I got to attend one of her conferences. She even gave a girl tickets to her show. It was really touching.
Elizabeth: She truly is amazing! AH! I wish I could've gone with you.
Ciel: Hey, I'm keeping you updated, aren't I?
Elizabeth: Yeah, but it's not the same.
Ciel: I'll be back soon.
Elizabeth: I know you will.
I finished my email conversation with Elizabeth and turned off my laptop. Violet came into the dressing room and she immediately laid down on the couch. I then heard her scream into a pillow. "Violet, are you okay?" I asked. She looked up and saw me and her eyes softened. "Yeah, I'm fine."She said after speaking. Not too long after that, Sebastian came into the room.
"Young Master, I have prepared your dinner." "Ok. Thanks, Sebastian." Sebastian was taken back by what I said and waited for me to walk out the dressing room. "Violet, will you be alright?" "Yeah. I'll be fine. I just really need to be alone right now." "All right." I really didn't want to leave her alone and Sebastian was starting to feel the same way. I could tell by the look on his face. "We'll see you later then." "Let's go, my lord." "Yeah. . ." Once we'e out of the room, I turned to Sebastian. "Sebastian, this is an order, keep an eye on Violet. I'm starting to worry about her." "Yes, my lord"
I need to write. Writing always clears my head. I felt like my old self doing the meet and greets, but as they were coming to an end, something didn't feel right. Luckily, I had my guitar and notebook, if I ever had a song idea pop up in my head. I had started writing a song before I left for the tour, but I wasn't sure how exactly this song itself meant to me.
"I took a step toward a new direction. I followed my heart this time and not my head-" I started speaking the lyrics aloud. I had only started on the first verse and I couldn't think of anything else, but then I thought of something out of the blue. "But-Everything I'm feeling, now I question. If-I'm wrong. . .What's next?" I spoke and wrote the words out loud. "That's progress." I said to myself.
"Are you all right?" I hear a voice and I see Sebastian leaning against the door frame watching me. "Yeah. I just needed to clear my head, that's all." "Ciel was worried about you." "That's sweet of him to think of me. I'm a big girl though, I'll be just fine." I smiled a small smile.
"Does this happen often?" "Does what happen often?" "Do you get depressed like this a lot?" "I wouldn't say that I'm depressed, but probably stressed." "How can you be stressed?" "Well, everything was just fine, until I almost got kidnapped the other day,so-" "You traumatized from the incident, aren't you?" "How can I not?" I said as I feel tears well up in my eyes.
GREAT. Now I look like a big baby in front of Sebastian. Can this day get any worse?
Sebastian kneeled in front and lifted my chin and looked into my eyes. He then wiped the tears from my eyes and smiled a small smile. "It's good to be upset and afraid every once and while. I know you'll pull through this." Sebastian said as he tucked some hair behind my ear and held my hand. I feel my cheeks heat up and I looked down from his gaze.
"Violet! I have your dinner." I heard Adrian yell from down the hall. I let go of Sebastian's hand and get up from my couch. I grabbed my phone and started to head out the room, but then I stop. "Sebastian,-" Sebastian looked back at me and I said "Thanks." while smiling a small smile then leaving all together.
All right! That was Chapter 8. Chapter 9 is a work in progress, but I don't know when exactly I'll have it up. I leave for college this week! Woohoo! Time for me to be an "adult". Haha
Sebastian: This story is coming along nicely.
Me: You just like how I'm writing you.
Sebastian: You know it. *smirks*
Me: Where's the little lord?
Sebastian: He's somewhere. . .
Me: Some butler you are. You don't even know where he is?!
Ciel: Sebastian! Why was a locked in a closet?!
Me: You locked him in a closet?
Sebastian: Just for a few minutes, until you finished this small conversation.
Me: Ok. . . So, as I was saying, Chapter 9 is a work in progress. I would appreciate some reviews because I like criticism. Until next time. . . Pasta!
