My biggest fan

Chapter nine - He was right

Kali's POV:

A few days ago, I made a livestream on my i********:. Jayden joined it. I saw his comment. The idea was to talk with fans. Not everyone can afford a meet-and-greet ticket. I thought it would be nice. That was until I saw what he wrote. For some reason, he doesn't like me. I don't mind it, but at least he can stop commenting. It's getting annoying. Also, I saw what he said under Bryan's picture. I was the one who commented on that. His profile is private, but I still recognized him from the profile picture. Let's say that I wanted to see what he would say on the stream. I was annoyed. This is why he was one of the people who talked with me. I expected the hate, but I wasn't prepared for that. His words made me start thinking. I know he is wrong. It can't be possible. Bryan is not using me for clout. I won't deny that he loves posting pictures of us. Maybe this is his thing. I don't want every minute to be exposed on the internet. At the same time, I can forbid him. Jayden asked me if I loved my boyfriend. The answer is obvious. Otherwise, I wouldn't be with him for so long. We have been together for a year. He is with me all the time. Well, when I have time. I work a lot. I tried to find more information about this guy, but nothing. I hope that we won't see each other again.

I can't stop thinking about this. Bryan is not using me. I know it. Then why is it bugging me so much? I don't know what to do. Jess said that I shouldn't care about this. According to her, it's another hater. I feel like he knows things about my relationship that only I know. We have met only twice. I didn't tell him anything. I think he is mad, but the problem is not mine. I don't hate him. We barely talked. I noticed that I wasn't his favorite singer. Maybe all this is because of his sister. The girl is only a fan. There is nothing wrong with that if you ask me.

I woke up and went to get ready for the day. I want to record a new song today. Later, we have to invent a choreography for it. I called one of the best in town. He happily agreed to help me. My dancers and I will meet him today. After all, it will be my music video. I should dance alone, but it's funnier with my people around. When I was ready, I went downstairs for breakfast. Jess was already up. The food looks delicious.

- It looks good.

- Thanks. You can sit and eat. I made your favorite.

- Why?

- To cheer you up. I know you have been upset since that comment.

- Oh, please. I don't care about this guy.

- Bryan said he would deal with this.

- No, no. I want to forget about this. It has nothing to do with my boyfriend.

- But this guy called him out.

- I don't care. It's in the past. I want to focus on my career.

- What about Bryan? I think you should go out with him more often.

- I don't know. He doesn't like any of the things we do. I'm not an extreme girlfriend. I prefer simple things. I mean, I don't even know what he likes anymore. His taste changes all the time.

- Then ask him. Let him plan the next date.

- What if I don't enjoy it? I want us to do things that both of us like.

- Then find something that unites you.

- How? It's not that easy. We are too different.

- Oh, come on. That is not true. Both of you love music.

- He only listens to it. Once, I invited him to the studio. He looked bored, and I don't think he liked the song.

- Which one was it?

- Captured love.

- I like that song. It's not my favorite, but it's in my top ten.

- Let's say that I don't understand him. I can bring him with me today, but he will get bored. Also, I have many things to do. I should think about the choreography in the video.

- You won't have time for him. Say it.

- You can say it like that, yes.

- He only wants to spend time with you.

- It's not like I don't want it. I was alone. I called him yesterday, but he was busy.

- I'm sorry. I had to do something.

- Hey, this has nothing to do with you. It's enough that you walk after me like a puppy.

- It's not true. I like helping you. After all, you are my best friend.

- Thanks.

Jess and I kept talking. Later, I texted Bryan. I invited him to the studio with me. He said he was busy. Jess said she might come later. In that case, I will go alone. I took everything I needed and walked out. First, I started with the song. I wanted to try something new. Also, I had to wait for Chris to come. He will show me his dance moves. This choreography will be used in my live performances as well. I want to do something different. It's not like you can invent ten thousand different moves.

- Hey, I'm here. Hopefully, I'm not late.

- No, you are on time. Chris came five minutes ago. - Danny said

- Great. If you are ready, we can start.

- I thought you would record the song first.

- I can do that later. Chris won't be with us the whole day.

- I don't mind.

- You know what? I think you should be part of the music video. What do you think?

- Me? I would love to, but what will be my role?

- It's the same as now. You will be a dance teacher.

- That is something I can do. Thanks. I'm honored.

- Great. Can you show us what you have?

- I was thinking about different moves. You need to tell me what the song is about.

- Learning something new every day. You have everything, but you want more.

- I see. Setting goals all the time.

- Yes, something like that.

- Alright. I can do this. Watch this. - he said and showed some moves

- Can you slow down? I'm not a fast learner. - I said, and he laughed

- Sure. Did you like it?

- I did. Guys, what do you say?

- He is a professional choreographer. What do we have to say? - Alyssa asked, chuckling

- We'll do whatever you say.

- Awesome.

We danced with Chris for the next two hours. I don't know how he learned to dance so well, but he is good. I managed to learn something. I think he will fit perfectly into the video. I still haven't thought about it, but I have some ideas. Some brains never rest. Mine is one of them. We invited him for lunch, but he denied it. After all, he is a dance teacher and has classes.

- I love this guy. He is so good. - Jasmine said

- I agree. He should be part of the video. - Jack said

- Don't worry, I will make that happen. First, I need to invent it.

- Do you know what will happen in it? - Alyssa asked

- Nope. I thought he could be the teacher. I mean, showing us moves.

- It's like what we did today.

- Yes, the same thing.

- I like that. Anything else?

- So far, that's all I got. I still have to finish the song.

- What are the changes that you want? - Danny asked

- Let's say I wanted to try something new. I don't know if it will work.

- You are Kali. It will work.

- Thanks. I hope you are right.

- I am.

- Bryan posted a new picture of you two. It's cute. - Alyssa said

- Yes, sure.

- You don't seem happy. Look, if it's about that live stream.

- Yes, and no.

- What do you mean?

- I'm not offended, but he is right. Lately, Bryan only shares pictures of us. It's as if one with him won't have that many likes. I don't understand.

- Are you trying to say that the boy was right? - Jasmine asked

- This is what it looks like. I don't see it happening. He said he might come today, but he gets bored here.

- What about Jess?

- She has some work but will come later.

- If you say so.

- She told me that. Also, I don't have time for them. I have enough work anyway.

- Working a lot won't make you solve your problems.

- Danny, are you ok?

- Yes. I was thinking about something.

- Will you share?

- It's nothing important.

We talked for the rest of the lunch break. Later, I went back to the studio. Jess came after some time with Bryan. I didn't have time for them. I tried to talk with him after I finished the song, but he said he would go home. I don't know what is going on with him anymore. It's like something broke. I still love him, but I don't think that he does. He doesn't enjoy any of the things we do. I finished at the studio and went home. Jess came with me. At least she is here. Otherwise, I would've been alone.

- Are you ok? It's like your good mood vanished away. - she said, chucking

- I'm not in the mood for jokes, Jess.

- I'm sorry. I only wanted to make you feel better.

- Thanks.

- What is the problem? Did something happen today? I mean, before I came.

- No, everything was fine.

- Then?

- Bryan. He doesn't love me anymore.

- That is not true.

- Are you sure? Look at him. He doesn't enjoy any of the things we do together.

- Find something that makes both of you happy.

- How? It's not that easy. I don't even know what he likes anymore. His taste changes all the time.

- We talked in the morning. I won't repeat myself, but you know what to do.

- Kind of.

- Kali, everything will be fine. Give him some time. He is busy as well.

- I know. I don't understand why he is complaining when I am.

- Because you work a lot more than him. He only goes to his classes and writes his assignments. You don't go out of the studio.

- I come home.

- That is not enough. You are tired and don't want to do anything. He wants to be with you and do things.

- Like what? Making out with me and posting it on the internet.

- What?

- Every single picture online is with me.

- Don't tell me that this boy is right. I don't believe it.

- This is what it looks like from the outside.

- You can't be serious. Bryan is nothing like what this guy described him.

- Maybe, but he didn't lie.

- Kali, come on. People will hate you and him all the time. Don't trust them.

- I don't, but.

- No, but. Bryan is not like that. It's the end of the conversation.

- I hope so.

I don't know why Jess is defending Bryan so much. I'm trying to do it, too, but I see the result and what he is doing. I can't do anything else. Jayden was right. Everything is for the media. In real life, things don't look like that. I wonder when our relationship will be the way it used to be. Everything looked smooth, like butter. Now, I don't even know what we are. Bryan doesn't talk with me much. I don't see him that often. He came today but stayed like thirty minutes. I thought he supported me, but maybe I was wrong. Things don't look good. I hope that we won't break up.
