My biggest fan

Chapter fifteen - The truth is out

Kali's POV:

I started my shows three weeks ago. My next one is in Denver. The last time I was there, the stadium was full of people. This was one of my fast-selling shows. My manager advised me to make another one there. I believe it will be a success. It will be my last one. I will drop an album after that. I think it might be better than the last one. Let's say that I spend a lot of time working on it. I haven't planned a world tour yet, but I will have one. It's so fun. The other thing is that I visit so many places. I can travel whenever I want, but I don't have much time. Also, traveling alone is boring. I thought about taking Bryan with me, but he won't come. At least he will be with me on my last show. Somehow, I managed to convince him. That's why everything looks good in front of a camera. I prefer not to discuss my love life with anyone. It's not their business. The other reason is that my fans might go after him. He doesn't deserve it. I will say that he got popular after we started dating. I'm not saying that everything is thanks to me. He is a good-looking boy. They get followers quickly. I want to talk with him, but it will be after the show. I mean, when I go home. Things between us should be clear. I should trust him. I hope that our relationship won't end so soon.

It's my last show before I go home. I love traveling, but it can be exhausting. After all, I'm not on a vacation. I always rehearse before every show. It should be perfect. Maybe I'm overworking myself, but I don't mind. I'm not like famous singers, but I'm happy with what I have. Not everyone has such a loyal fan base. I might go to visit my parents for a few days. We keep talking on the phone, but it's not the same. I have invited them many times, but they are busy. I will always have time for them.

Currently, I'm on the stage. I had a few shows. My manager said that I should have more on the world tour. I keep talking about this, but I haven't planned anything. Jess is supposed to help me with this. Lately, she has been distracted. I have no idea what is going on with her. Usually, people who are in love act this way or have problems. She doesn't have any of these. We can talk about this later. I left my dancers to rest while I was checking my other songs. This should be the best show ever.

- Don't you think you work too much?

- Oh, hey, Danny. I don't.

- Really?

- Maybe a little bit. How are you?

- I have been worse.

- Are you ready to share?

- I want to, but I can't. It's not that easy.

- You can trust me. I won't tell anyone. I promise.

- I know, but you might hate me for this.

- Why?

- Because I didn't tell you earlier.

- What are you talking about? Did something happen?

- It's a long story.

- I don't care. Tell me. I want to help you.

- But you can't.

- Why do you think that way?

- The thing is that.

- There you are. You should do a fit check. - Jess said

- Right now? Why is that?

- To make sure that the outfit will match your makeup.

- Jess, I can do this later.

- The whole afternoon you will rehearse. You won't have time. I know you.

- I will come in a minute.

- We don't have one. Danny, can you get her lunch?

- Jess! He is not my puppet.

- I have to check everything before the show. You can ask someone else.

- I can do this by myself. Can you leave us now?

- What about the outfit check?

- I will do this later.

- Fine. I'll see you later. - she said and left

- I'm sorry. What were you saying?

- Nothing. Forget it.

- Danny, please.

- Really, it doesn't matter.

- Are you sure?

- I am. I'll go and get you lunch.

- Don't do that. I will go. If you want, you can come with me.

- I'll check on the girls. They might want to repeat the choreography.

- If I please you, will you do it?

- Kali, not now. I'm sorry.

- No problem. Do you want me to get you something?

- No, thanks. I'm not hungry.

- You can't starve yourself.

- I'm not. I want to have more energy.

- It comes with food.

- Not for me.

Something is going on here. Whenever Danny wants to tell me something, Jess is here. It looks like she doesn't want me to know. The question is why. What is that secret which is kept away from me? Is it about me? I won't think about this now. I finished my lunch and went to practice a bit more. Then, I started thinking about the fit check. We have never done such a thing before. I called Alyssa and Jasmine, pretending I needed their help. Maybe Danny has shared with them.

- Thanks for coming.

- We are on a call. - Jasmine said, chuckling

- I want to ask you something.

- Go on.

- Has Danny shared something? Maybe about what is bothering him.

- No, he hasn't talked with us. Why?

- Because he wants to tell me something, but every time, Jess comes to interrupt.

- That is weird. Maybe she doesn't want him to speak. - Alyssa said

- I was thinking the same. If I ask her, she will never tell me.

- We can try to talk with her, but I bet it won't be successful. We don't understand each other well.

- No, don't do it. I don't want her to think I'm suspecting her of something.

- Aren't you?

- Only a little bit. I don't have time for this.

- Lately, he seems upset or nervous. - Jasmine said

- We are talking about Danny. Right?

- Yes. I tried to ask him once, but he didn't say anything.

- I know it's a crazy thought, but do you think Jess might be holding him with something?

- What? Why would she do that?

- So you don't find out the truth. She loves being around you for the attention she receives.

- What does this have to do with Danny and the mysterious secret?

- I don't know. Think about it.

- It makes sense, but I don't believe it. I can't.

- You can talk with her.

- I will do it once we go home.

The show started at 7 pm. There were so many people here. It's unbelievable. Sometimes, I still can't believe that all of them are here for me. I sang a song when the crowd kept telling me to turn around. That's when I saw it. Pictures of my best friend and boyfriend were on the screen behind me. I can't believe that he is cheating on me, and it's with her. I finished the show pretending that everything was good. Later, I went for the meet and greet. Ally was the last person.

- Kali. I love you so much.

- Thank you. I see you are not with your brother this time.

- I tried to bring him here, but he is so stubborn. I'm with my mom.

- Hello.

- I thought the obsession was done, but no. She is like a little kid.

- That is not something that bad. Even I act this way sometimes.

- Can I take a picture? Again.

- Sure. Come here.

- Thank you. I'm sorry and have a good evening.

- Thanks, Ally. - I said, and she left

- Kali, that was the last fan. - Jess said

- Why?

- Why what?

- Why are you dating my boyfriend behind my back?

- I'm not. Where did that come from?

- I saw the pictures on the stage. Everyone saw them.

- That little rat. It's not what it looks like.

- The show was great. We can go out if you want. - Bryan said

- Why don't you go out with your girlfriend?

- That is you.

- I said with your girlfriend, not with your ex-one.

- What?

- It's over.

- Why? What did I do?

- You are a cheater!

- Kali, I'm sorry. I couldn't tell you. - Danny said

- You knew. Why didn't you tell me?

- Because I didn't want to lose my job.

- Shut up! - Jess said

- No, I'm tired of you two hurting her. She doesn't deserve it. Jess said she would fire me if I told you.

- I'm the one who can do this, not her.

- So I can keep my job.

- Yes.

- Thanks.

- I'm going out.

- But. - Jess said

- Alone!

I can't believe that they did this. What did I do to them? I tried my best to satisfy their decisions. What else should I do? I went to a diner for a drink. This time, I doubled one. I sat next to the window. I don't understand. God knows for how long they have been doing this, and I was blind. Soon, someone sat in front of me. Honestly, I'm happy to see him.

- Are you ok? - Jayden asked

- I have been worse.

- Are you sure? What can be worse than a cheating boyfriend?

- How do you know? Were you at the concert?

- No, but someone was streaming it online.

- You have to be kidding me. The whole world knows about this!

- Yes.

- Great.

- Can I do something for you?

- No, thanks. Is there a bathroom here?

- Over there. There is a boy's and a girl's one.

- Thanks. - I said and heard my phone

- I'm sorry. Please, believe me. - Bryan said

- I don't want to talk with you anymore. Please, leave me alone. - I said, shut down my phone, and sat on the ground

- Knock, knock. Can I come in?

- I don't care.

- Do you want a hug? I don't bite.

- Really? Why are you so nice to me?

- Let's say that I wasn't right about you.

- Please don't tell me you feel sorry about me.

- A little bit, yes. You are an ordinary person like me. I'm sorry for what I said. I thought it was true, but not anymore.

- It's ok. You were right.

- Come here. - he said and pulled me for a hug

- Thank you.

- What are your plans for the rest of the night?

- I want to go to my hotel, but my ex-best friend is in my room. I might make her sleep with my ex-boyfriend.

- If you want, we can go for a walk.

- Why not? This day can't get any worse.

- Do you know what this means?

- What?

- He wasn't the right one.

- It doesn't matter. I did everything I could, but I guess it wasn't enough.

- That is his loss. You don't have to blame yourself.

- Are you on my side now?

- Maybe. Should we go?

- Yes. You can show me some places around here.

- With pleasure.

Jayden paid for my drink. I didn't want him to do it, but I didn't say anything. He is only trying to help me. Right now, he is the only person I will let around me. I felt like talking about it would make me feel better. It helped a little bit. I can't believe she told Danny that I would fire him. For what? For telling the truth? He is a great dancer and my friend. I won't let him go. Maybe Jayden and I can be friends. I haven't thought about this. Too many things happened today. I have no idea why he is on my side, but I like it. At least he is listening to me. I hope that they will go away from my life.
