My biggest fan

Chapter thirteen - No show for me

Kali's POV:

I plan to make a few more shows in the next few weeks. I haven't decided which cities I want to go to. My manager told me to check where more people will come. I will say that the stadium is always full, no matter where I am. I have started working on songs for my upcoming album. I'm so excited about this. I never thought I would be where I am today. The other thing is that many brands wanted to collaborate with me. They thought I was an influencer. It's not like I denied all of them. I created one tomboy line. It looks like the clothes I usually wear outside the stage and on social media. I prefer to be comfortable. That's why I loved how it turned out. It was something unique and related to me. After all, I wanted my fans to get to know me better. I collaborated with a skin line. Mostly, it was about the design. I will never make a product if I have no idea how to do it. I don't want to be responsible if it doesn't work for everyone. I will keep my name clean for now. The other thing is that I have plenty of work. That is the last thing on my brain. I would love to make a song with a famous singer. This will help me grow up and expose my music to more people. Sadly, this won't be easy. Not everyone wants to work with you. I hope that I will be successful with this.

For the past two weeks, I have been planning upcoming shows. I uploaded the new music video with Chris and my dance crew. That was two days ago. It was successful. I'm glad my fans like every song I post on the internet. I'm trying to rest whenever I can, but I feel better when I work. Bryan doesn't like this. I wonder if he even likes me. We don't talk much. Things are getting worse every day. I don't think we can fix our relations. Something broke a long time ago. I believe it's my fault.

I came to the studio half an hour ago. No one was here. I will drink my coffee in peace. It's not my favorite drink, but I'm trying to get used to it. I walked around the whole place. So many things happened here. I had many ups and downs. There were times when I thought I should give up. It was too much work for me. Luckily, this didn't happen. My parents told me to keep fighting. It's good that I listened to them. Danny came but refused to look at me. We don't dance all the time, but they are my friends. Something bothers him, but I don't think he will tell me.

- Danny, what is going on? You can talk to me. I won't tell anyone.

- I can't. It's not the time for this. You already have enough work.

- We are friends. You can share it.

- It's not that easy.

- Why? Is it related to someone?

- Yes.

- Who?

- Someone that I care about a lot.

- What is the case?

- I found out something terrible. If I tell this person, I will ruin their life.

- Did you do this?

- No, but I have.

- You have what?

- A big mouth. That's what he has. - Jess said

- That wasn't nice. He only wanted to talk to me.

- Yes, and fill your head with nonsense.

- That is not true.

- I won't be so sure.

- Danny, you can continue.

- I will go to get ready.

- We don't have practice today.

- I know, but some moves don't work for me. I will ask Alyssa to help me.

- Wait! We can talk later, ok? - I asked, whispering

- Don't waste your time. I have nothing to tell you.

- But you started.

- Forget about this. I have to go. - he said and left

- Can I know what that was about? - I asked, looking at my best friend

- What do you mean?

- Danny. He wanted to share something.

- We don't have time for this. Here are the dates for your upcoming shows.

- Jess.

- This is your schedule.

- Jess.

- Everything is on your website.

- Jess!

- What?

- Don't change the topic. Do you know what he was talking about?

- How can I? We don't talk much.

- But you know something. I can feel it.

- Yes, I do. I know you don't need to care about someone else's problems.

- This doesn't matter. I'm doing it, not you.

- You always cared about your career. You can do it now.

- I do it every single day.

- See?

- This is not the end.

The producer and I worked for some time. The song was recorded, but I wanted something more. He made some changes to the music. Bryan showed up. Lately, we haven't seen each other. I appreciate that he is here, but I don't know if it's for me. Our relations became complicated. I continued with my work. I saw him walking out with Jess. At least he is not mad at her. I took a break and went to search for them. Jess was here. He probably left. I won't be surprised. I don't even know why he is here.

- Where is Bryan?

- He went for lunch.

- What? He will come back.

- Yes, why?

- I thought he went home. I'm happy that he will stay.

- I don't know for how long he will be here.

- Why is he coming here if he doesn't like it?

- He is doing it for you. At least one of you wants to spend time with each other.

- Excuse me? I have tried so many times. He cuts me off.

- I didn't say anything.

- Here is the lunch.

- From where do you know I love this? - Jess said

- You said it once when I came to visit Kali at home.

- Thanks.

- This is for you.

- Seafood? Really?

- What?

- It's good. I can't wait to eat it.

- You can stop faking it.

- You know I don't like eating this.

- It's your problem. If you want something else, go and buy it yourself.

- No, I'll eat this.

- Good.

- I will have a few shows. Do you want to come?

- I can't. I have exams and tests. Also, I need to finish my project.

- I didn't say when they will be.

- This month, I'm busy.

- What if it's the next one?

- I can't, ok?

- Sure, or you don't want to come.

He didn't say anything. Can someone tell me why I'm even trying? It's not worth it. He doesn't want to have anything in common with me. The lunch proves it. I don't eat seafood. It makes me sick. I like fish, but that's it. There were shrimps and a crab. I left the food in my dressing room. I tried one bite, but that was. I have told him this many times. The other thing is that I didn't make him buy food. That was his decision.

- Knock, knock. Can we come in? - Alyssa asked

- Yes, sure.

- Are you ok?

- Kind of.

- Bryan?

- Yes.

- What is going on? He didn't look happy to see you.

- I have no idea.

- What is that?

- My lunch. He bought me seafood.

- But you hate it. - Danny said

- I don't know. Jess was the lucky one. She got her favorite meal.

- Will you eat that? - Jasmine asked

- You can have it.

- Thank you. I love seafood.

- Didn't you have an accident once?

- It was a one-time thing. Except for that, I like it. This looks good.

- Please, keep it far away from me.

- You two need to sit and talk. - Jack said

- I know. He rejected the shows.

- What do you mean?

- I invited him to come, but he said he was busy. I didn't even say the dates.

- You deserve something better. - Danny said

- Why? Do you know something?

- No.

- Danny, you have to tell me. Is it about me?

- No, it's not.

- You wanted to tell me something in the morning. What was it?

- Nothing important.

- It doesn't look like that to you.

- Can we forget about this?

- Look, I.

- Please.

- Fine. I won't say anything.

- Did we miss something? - Alyssa asked

- It's a long story.

- What will you do in the afternoon? - Jasmine asked

- I have no clue. I have to finish here. Later, I'm free.

- If you want, we can take you out. Girl's time.

- I don't know.

- Jess is invited.

- You don't even like her.

- That is not true.

- I know everything. You don't need to lie.

- I'm sorry.

- It's ok.

I talked with my dance crew for a while. I should stop calling them like that. They are my friends. I finished the song in an hour. I invited Jess with us, but she wanted to go home. She was tired, no matter that she didn't do anything. Bryan rejected my shows. I will try to convince him. Alyssa, Jasmine, and I went to the mall. I'm not in the mood to shop. Well, I have nothing else to do. After two hours, we went for drinks. I have no idea what is going on. I don't enjoy it.

- Kali. Hello? Are you here? - Alyssa asked

- What did you say?

- You are distracted. Stop thinking about him so much.

- But I can't. I want to know what happened to us. Something broke.

- He is the one who has to tell you.

- I don't expect it.

- You are doing everything you always did. He is the one who has changed.

- Maybe it's my fault.

- No, it's not. Relationships should always be two-sided. Yours is not. - Jasmine said

- I have no idea what to do. I want the old us back.

- Are you sure you want this?

- What do you mean?

- Maybe he is not the one. If he loved you, he would appreciate everything you do without complaining.

- I don't see it happening. No matter who the guy is.

- Then, he is not for you.

- Perfect people don't exist.

- Yes, but he should be understanding. This is your job. He doesn't even have one.

- I can't do anything about that.

- Exactly. Focus on yourself. He deserves you to be like that.

- I don't get it.

- She means that you should prioritize what matters to you. - Alyssa said

- I don't know. It's too much to think about.

- Everything will be fine. All you need is patience.

- How long? It has been like that for the past few months.

- I will tell you a secret.

- Which is?

- I never liked him.

- This is not a secret.

- What?

- I told you. I know everything.

- Maybe that guy on the stream didn't lie.

- I know, but I won't admit it.

- I'm sorry.

- Me too.

The girls and I stayed at the mall for another hour. I went home. No one was there. I guess Jess went out. I tried to call Bryan, but the voicemail turned on. I wonder what he is doing without me. Well, he deserves to go out with his friends. I haven't stopped him from doing it. After all, I do it as well. The difference is that mines are not that much. In this business, you can't trust everyone. Be careful who you pick on your side. At least I have good friends. They will never betray me or do something against me. I'm happy that we met. I hope that things won't fall apart.
