Diary of an International Pop Star

Chapter 24-Love is in the air

"Alexa! Is that you? We need to go!" I heard my mother come bombing into the front hall.

"Honey, why are you sitting by the door? Oh, you're crying." She sat down next to me.

"I love him."

"I know lex, I know."

"He gave me tickets to the concert."

"What concert? Oh that one."

"I don't know what to do. He's trying so hard and I'm ruining it."

"You'll be ok. We will figure it out. Just tell him I said you aren't allowed to be out that late on a school night."

"Mom, I slept over his house last night that won't make any sense."

"Ok, I don't want you in the city that late. It's dangerous. How about that?"

"Ok. I'll call him. Thanks mom."

"Any time. But you have to call him from the car, we have to leave. I packed all your stuff. Let's go."

Having to call Adam is going to be really hard. How am I going to keep it together?

"Hey babe, did your mom say you could go to the concert? We should get dinner before. I know this great place on the water." He sounds so happy.

"Oh Adam that sounds so nice, but my mom said no."

"Oh." Oh no please don't be mad!

"I'm so sorry, she doesn't want us in the city that late."

"That's ok."

"Please don't hate me." I couldn't hide the fear in my voice.

"Oh baby, I could never hate you. I'll take Ava. We can hang tomorrow, ok?"

"Ok"

"I love you."

"Love you too." I'm so used to people hating me when I cancelled on them. Mostly because I was taking them to movie premiers or meeting celebrities or something like that. It's a new thing for someone to just brush it off. I feel so much better.

We pulled into the parking lot under the Garden. I'm so nervous it's not even funny.

"Ok we're here. Are you ready?"

"Yes. I can do this. I can do this."

"I know you can. Let's go."

I can't believe I'm doing this. I know I've been on tour and performed but this time it's with Kenny Chesney. My freakin hero!

"Hey Alexa! We are going to do a quick run through of the show in about 10 minutes. I'll send ya out there." he patted me on the shoulder and I am filled with happiness. I never thought I would be star struck when I'm a star myself.

"Ok!"

"Make sure your wig is on tight. Here, your contact box," finally, I can take these things out.

"Do you know what you're going to wear?"

"I'm not sure. What did you bring?"

My mom pulled out about 5 outfits.

"Ok so I like the pink shirt, but I also like the white dress. What do you think?"

"I think you should go with the pink shirt and your ripped jeans. Oh, and I brought your cowgirl boots."

"Ok then I'll go with that."

I went out on stage and it's all hitting me now. I'm about to perform at the Garden with Kenny Chesney in front of thousands of people.
