Sort Of Love

Chapter 2

Lights flashing as people push each other to get a good look of someone. Me. A reporter came up front saying 'Victoria, what are you doing here?' I smiled softly at her, 'You'll see' as I walked out of the airport. 'Tori! Where's that boyfriend of yours?'

I bit my lower lip, thinking, 'I...I don't know. We broke up.'

Everyone went silent.

My ride pulled up. I waited there smiling as people ask questions over each other.

Dave, my driver got out and took my suitcases as the security make way for me to walk.

Just as I was entering the limo the screaming got louder. I heard the name 'Mason' huh, heard that name before. I told the driver to wait since I didn't want to be in airport clothes. Four security guards guided me to the restroom where I can change.

Here in California, it's hot in summer and I hate the heat. So I changed into my Crisscross Tie Black Crop Tank Top and Raw Hem Ripped Denim Shorts.

'Hi' as I made my way back to the car, a little girl around 9 or 10 standing in front of me. I knew living in Hollywood would be bad most time, but I had my fans on my side. 'Hello there' the little girl hugged me and cried. What...why is she crying?

'hey...' I said softly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and wiping her tears. 'What's wrong?' nobody has ever cried in front of me before.

'I am lost...I can't find my brother'

I nodded, as I understand what was happening. 'What's his name?'

She started to cry again. 'Hey...um...' I didn't know her name, when I was trying to help her.

'It's Melody'

'Well Melody, how about we find the brother of yours?' I ask. I knew how it felt too. Once when it was my first time travelling, I got lost but since I was well-known it wasn't hard to find me.

As we walk, my guards close to us. People whispering. 'so the last place is outside, the airport.' Amber nodded. When we walk there the paparazzi started to notice me. 'Mason?' Amber called out and a boy step in front of us. Then only, can I see him clearly.

He was much taller than me. brown hair spilling out underneath his beanie. Emerald eyes shining at the sight of his sister. 'Thank you, Tori' she hugged me, so I patted her head. 'I'll see you later, but right now I have to go back home.' I turned and walk to my car, my guards following me from behind.

***************************

I walk past the book shop, that is where I saw it. So I bought it and read it in the car.

It read:

"Just today did we witness Victoria King and Mason Ryder. Right after Victoria walk out of the airport, Mason shortly followed a few minutes later. Was Mason Ryder lying to us when he said he was flying to Australia to catch a break? Was he lying to all his fans? And as for Victoria, she has posted a picture of her at New York airport saying 'flying to Los Angeles' with a heart behind. Was that a sign for Mason? What is really happening behind the scene? Later afterwards Victoria showed up with Melody, who is Mason's little sister. So the big question is what is happening? What are they?"

I shake my head at the stupid words. Veronica wouldn't like these so I have to fix it.

I pull out my phone open twitter and typed 'I'm really sad to hear that people think me and Mason are a thing...of course I would tell if I have a new relationship' then I posted and did the same thing with my Instagram. I was so not gonna let fake words destroy my life.

As a actor I can act well but I want people to know the real me, I've acted in a lot of movies and now I'm on the set filming a movie called 'The Lies Of Us' it was a new movie. But with millions of people waiting for it to be done.

'Tori?' that voice

'Oh my god! Kate! I have missed you.' I said as I run up and hugged her tightly.

'Me too. But right now let's go I want you to meet someone.'

'Ok...' someone tap on my shoulder, 'Miss Victoria, your ride is here. We can't be late for the interview' I nodded, as a celebrity interviews and interacting with fans are important.

When I turn back to Kate and saw a familiar sight of brown hair and beautiful emerald eyes, which I have seen just yesterday.

'Hi...I'm Mason, we met briefly yesterday' of course I remember,

'Oh yea I remember...Melody was adorable!'

He laughed nervously 'yea she is...I'm sorry about yesterday, the reporters cornered me and I lost sight of her'

I shake my head 'You kidding? I had fun...really'

'Miss let's go' I look at Mason to Tom and back again. 'Sorry I have to go' I said rushing out of the set while quickly taking my things, yet I'm short so my legs move slowly.

***************************

'Hello and welcome back everyone! Today we have a special guest, I mean when do we not?' someone played the audio laugher from the dark. 'Today we have the actress who loves and is loved by everyone, Victoria King!' audio claps filled the room as I walked up to the couch.

'I'm so glad you're here today with us Tori' I smiled faintly 'Glad to be here' Emma, the host gasped 'My goodness! May I say you look extremely hot! You are working that black Floral Jacquard Satin Cami Dress'

'aw...that's so sweet!'

'Now let's talk business...what happen with you and your boyfriend?'

'ex-boyfriend' I corrected 'and it just doesn't feel right you know? He keeps his distance from me, sometimes I feel that I am not dating him. But I guess I was also a little distant with him, with my job and flying around the world.'

'I totally understand...but one question...what would you say to him is you get a chance to speak to him?'

I look down at the floor thinking, hurt flashing through my eyes. 'nothing...he have hurt me badly, I am not just going to stand there talking to him while my heart ache.'

Emma leaned forward 'Oh how did he hurt you? What did he do that makes you so hurt?'

I smiled softly 'it's a mystery'

Emma sighed 'So I heard news about you and Mason...is it true?'

I shake my head slowly as I breath in 'I helped his sister yesterday, and before you go to a consolation. No. I just met Melody yesterday.'

'But how can we know you are telling the truth?'

I put a hand on my chest and faked an 'Ouch!' and smiled faintly 'that hurts! But no I wouldn't...there are some things that my fans don't know about but...I want things too personal to be for myself. For this I wouldn't...you remember that time when my ex wanted to date me and kissed me? well after I told him and we agreed I told everyone I made out with him and a couple of weeks later we were dating.'

'oh well look at the time, thank you all for watching and thank you Victoria!'
