Chapter One: That One Call

It all started about three, four months ago. Adam, Isaac, Ashley, and I were all hanging out at the condo on a normal Saturday in February. Everything was perfect. The album was a hit, and the glamberts loved the new look. Sitting around the bar in the kitchen we were just laughing and having a good time. We had preformed a show the night before and we were sharing stories of some fan encounters.

"This one time," I started, "Adam, Sauli, and I were just walking around a club. It was during the glam nation tour, before we officially got together." I looked towards Adam and smiled. "So here we are, at a club in the middle of the night, and out of nowhere, this guy just bumps Sauli out of the way and stars dancing with Adam."

"Wasn't that the night I told y'all that I had plans?" Isaac asked.

"Yeah, I think so." Adam responded. "You went out with that girl you met in the U.K."

"Yeah, that was a good night..." Isaac said, smirking, proud of himself.

"Anyway," I continued, "As I was saying. This guy just came out of nowhere and just pushed Sauli out of the way. Sauli falls into me, who is dancing near them with the hot chick." As soon as I had said that I felt Adam's stink eye on me. But, I continued anyway. "She was grinding on me and stuff, then Sauli bumps into us. I look over at Adam and see that guy just dancing with him, trying to get up on him. His arms were around Adam's neck and they were face to face, and-"

"I don't remember that." Adam said defensively.

"Doesn't surprise me." Ashley smirks. "You know your a bad drunk."

Adam sat there speechless next to me. Yeah, he knew he was a bad drunk. "Just, shut-up." He snapped back.

I remember putting my hand on his knee, and meeting his eyes. Looking back at our friends I continued. "They were face to face and Sauli looked really pissed, as was that girl, who just walked away. I look over, see this crap and looked back at Sauli. Now, I should remind you, him and I weren't really good friends when they first started dating. Sauli just stood there, so I walked up to Adam and this random dude and said, 'hay, what do you think you're doing?' the guy just looks at me and smiles. 'I'm dancing.' with this really feminine stereotypical gay voice. I got closer to them and spoke up again. 'Let me rephrase that. What are you doing with my boyfriend.' it was the funniest thing ever." I started cracking up remembering that night. "Then the guy, like looked me up and down. Kinda like a chick who thinks they're better then you would do. Adam's just going along with it, looking a little uncomfortable. 'what makes you think that you're good enough for him?' this guy was going off on me like two fat black women who were about to take off their rings and go at each other over who got the last piece of chocolate pie. I kinda giggled and glanced at Sauli who was standing behind me looking pissed. 'honey,' I started. If he was gonna act like a fat black women I was going to treat him like one. 'do you even know who I am?' I asked him. He gave me a disgusted face and snarled. 'I don't need to know who you are to know that you ain't good enough for him.' I could see the look on Adam's face...he was so confused." I laughed.

But, before I could finish, Adam's phone started going off. So, he answered it. "Hello," he answered. "Speaking...yes...yeah...at home bu-...yeah..I know...are you serious?...Of course, one second." Adam brought the phone down to the counter, and pressed the speaker button. "Guy's Queen's manager is on the phone.. okay you're on speaker."

"Thanks man," the manager said. "As I was saying, I wanted to offer you a chance of a lifetime. Do you, Adam Lambert, want to tour with the legendary Queen on their up coming tour?" all of our jaws dropped. Adam looked speechless and so did I. Adam had preformed with Queen several times before, but I could never of seen that coming. I always thought that Adam was just a way for Queen to get more fans. A nice gesture for the rising star to preform with his idols, as a surprise for the fans once or twice. But, that one call changed everything.

The room was dead silent for few moments, until Isaac spoke up. "What are you waiting for, man. Answer him."

Adam took in a deep breath. "Yea-yeah. That would be awesome." As soon as those words left his mouth I got a bad feeling. I didn't know why, but, it just hit me.

So, I stood up and said. "I-I have to go the bathroom. BRB." That line will get you out of almost any awkward moment. Not that, that was awkward, or anything. I started walking down the hall way and when I got to the white bathroom door, I stepped inside and locked it. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I could see I was slightly paler than normal. My heart started to race as I started telling my self nothing was wrong. Nothing was going to change. But, obviously, my instincts were right.

Walking out of the bathroom, I tried to act normal. I tried to act like I was happy for him. Well, I was happy for him, he's getting a chance to tour with his idols. But... just because I was happy for him, doesn't mean that I thought it was a good idea. Walking back into the living room, I see the three were still talking to the manager. Making jokes and being friendly like we usually do.

"Well," the manager said, as I walked back to the stool I was sitting on. "I want to tell you something Adam."

"What's that?" Adam's voice cracked.

"You do realize that you are going on a world tour, right?"

"Yeah," Adam responded with a little giggle. "I'm ready for this."

"Good. I'll talk to you later about everything. Have a nice Saturday."

The call ended as I made my way back to my seat beside Adam, I saw the excitement on his face. This was a dream come true. For him, anyway.
