I ran to my room and cried for over two hours. I've always prayed to meet him... I've always prayed to be like him.
I've seen him many times in my dream.

Yet, I've ruined my meeting with him.

My mouth ache. Those guards hands are metal.

I stayed in my room, until Mrs Carla came.

She stared at me, contemplating if to scold me for my nuisance console me for the brutal penalty which I was given by Tony's guards.

"Mr Smith wants to see you!" She finally said and walked out. I stared at her round aggressive figure as she walked away.

Then I stood up and followed her.

..........

Mr Smith gave me a hard glare as I walked into his large chilled office.

"Alexander!" He called harshly.
I clasped my hands together and stare at the floor.

"Do you know that you've ruined the reputation of this company. The great Tony Hudson is now regretting coming here"

"I'm sorry sir" I blurted.

He shook his head. "There's no need for apologies. You are getting fired!"

My head cocked up and for the first time, I looked at him in the face.

"Sir, please... I have no where to go to"

"Tony Hudson requested that you must be sacked. And I hold on to his every word. There's nothing you can do, Alex. Just pack up your things and leave this hotel now".

I stared at him, with tears in my eyes.

Chris opened the door and gasped as he stared at me, wondering what I'm doing in his house by this time of the night.

But he didn't ask a question, he let me in and helped me with my bag. He introduced me to his parents. Gladly, they don't mind if I stay with them.

Then Chris took me upstairs to his room, then he asked "Why are you here"

I expected it but hearing him say it made me feel like I was an univited guest (which I am tho).

"You can as well tell me to leave if you don't want me here" I said and stood up.

"You know that's not what I meant"

I chewed at my fingers and sat back. "I was fired" I blurted.

"Oh" he said and didn't ask anything else.

"I'll just call Jane and let her know you are here" he brought out his phone.

"I'll prefer you don't call her" I said.

"Why?"

"I don't want her to get worried." I said.

Chris frowned but still obliged.

He's my best friend. My forever best friend.  He's the only one who knows things about me which no one else dare to know. He's the only one who knows why I'm poor.

Jane knows too, but not as much as Chris.

I never mentioned the Tony's incident to him.

If I do, I know what he'll say and I'm not ready to hear that.
At least not now.

           ✨ JEREMY'S POV ✨
.
Sophia was beside me. We were both watching the TEEN-VOICE show.

I was grinning ear to ear as I was named winner of the show.

"I still can't believe you'll be meeting Tony Hudson tomorrow" Sophia said.

I smirked and said nothing.

I really don't want to talk about it until tomorrow.

My phone rang,

It was my manager.

"Tony Hudson is in town now" he said curtly.

I sprung up from the cushion.

"He's in Beverly Hills Hotel right now" he added.

Excitement surged through me.

"He came to Beverly Hills because of me?" I asked excitedly.

"Who else?" My manager smirked.

I hung up and grinned at Sophia.
"I'm now a celeb."

"I'm now the girlfriend to a celeb" she grinned back.

"Then let's have hot sex like celebrity do" I said as I unbuckled my belt.

"My pleasure" Sophia smiled and knelt before me.

Chris threw me one of his Jean and a T-shirt.

"Will you like this black shoe, or the white canvas" He pointed at two pair of expensive shoes.

"You know you need to look good, Just in case Tony Hud___"

"Don't even bother, I'm not going" I said to Chris.

His eyes widen.
Then he smile "That's a nice joke, but it isn't that funny. Now get dres__"

"I said I'm not going!"

Chris' face turned white, he gave me a long look, then said. "Are you sure you're okay, Alex?"

"I'm perfectly fine" I sputtered

"I hope you know we're talking about Tony's concert.  TONY for goodness sake!. The same Tony you are dying to meet, the same Tony we are all dying to meet."

"Well I don't think I wanna meet him anymore".

"Why? 😳"

"He's a jerkass" I said.

Chris shook his head, I know he's thinking I'm numb or maybe, Mad.

"I don't have the energy to start persuading you. When Jane comes, you'll be left with no option"  He said and walked to his bathroom.

I sighed.

I think of my brief meeting with Tony Hudson.

How handsome he look when he glared at me and punched me.

And then, the angelic sound of his voice as he gave me the stern warning.

Then I thought of Jeremy. The bloody fucking bastard.

I shut my eyes tight.

There's no even need to worry about Tony Hudson, after all the doctor said I won't live long enough to witness another new year.  My heart keeps getting bad as the day goes by.

It was a sickness I carried since I was a kid.

I sighed, opened my eyes and shut it again, inside my eyes, I saw Tony Hudson and I, recording a duet together.

I smiled.

"Keep that smile for Tony Hudson not for me "  I heard a voice and I swiftly open my eyes.

Jane was standing over me, her two hands akimbo and her lips, pressed tightly together.

"I received an information that you refused to attend Tony's concert. Well I'm here and nothing, not even yourself can stop me from dragging you to the concert" Jane said rashly,. She threw the black pair of shoes at me. "Put it on now!" She ordered.

I smiled,  "Yes Ma" I mocked a salute at her and she smiled back.

We stared at each other for a long awkward while. Then she blushed and forced a frown.

"Hurry up!" She said with a voice that obviously betrayed the audacity which she meant it to be.
