Solita

Chapter 1: The Bus

"Oh my God that was amazing! Thanks for inviting me you guys!" I got out of the studio where they filmed the X Factor. My friends had accidentally bought an extra ticket and invited me to go. They knew the only reason I watched it was because Demi Lovato is a judge. She's my favorite singer and person ever so of course I would watch it. I mostly just stared at her because I was blown away by her beauty. She is so beautiful and she's even more beautiful in person if that's even possible.

Tonight was extra special for the contestants because they got to perform with another singer. Alex and Sierra sang with some girl who won the British X Factor last year. Kind of a disappointing performance from her because she was lip singing. Jeff Gutt sang with one of the guys from the Goo Goo Dolls and let me tell you, that was amazing! My favorite contestant and the one I was rooting for, Carlito Olivero, sang with Prince Royce! Best performance of the night to be honest. Prince Royce actually walked to my side of the stage and looked at me and winked and I blushed like crazy. He's one of my favorite bachata singers. He has such beautiful songs and his voice makes me melt. The fact that I got to see him in person tonight was awesome.

"Well I gotta go you guys. It's getting late," I said to my friends as we were crossing the street.

"Are you sure you don't want a ride back?" My best friend Ryan asked.

"Yes I'm sure. Besides, you need some time with your girl," I said as I nudged him in the ribs with my elbow. He looked at Thalia and his eyes instantly filled with love.

"You're right. Well, be safe getting home bear. Love you," he said as he gave me a hug.

"Have fun with Thalia. I'll text you later. Love you too bear," I said as I gave a wink to Thalia. She began to blush furiously. I smiled at her shyness. Ryan picked such an amazing girl. They're too cute together and every time they look at each other, you could totally see the love they have for each other in their eyes.

We said our final goodbyes and I began my journey to find a bus station to get home. It was starting to get cold and I wished I had brought a warmer sweater and clothes. I had a pair of black converse on with skinny jeans with a black tank top that had the word faith on it with birds and a white cardigan. I know it's the middle of December but it's barely cold in California, let alone Los Angeles. The weather here can go from being extremely hot to freezing cold in the matter of hours.

I wrapped my arms around myself to keep some body heat. I was getting some lustful looks from guys as I walked by and I immediately felt disgusted. I just wanted to get out of this pervy city.

I finally found my bus stop and sat on the bench while I waited for the bus. It only took 10 minutes for the bus to show up which I was grateful for. Some hobos were inching their way over to me and it was really starting to creep me out. Los Angeles isn't all pretty you guys. There's a lot of ugly to it. Don't be fooled by the movies and pictures you see.

I walked into the bus and paid the 5 dollars. I took my seat near the front because I know most people don't like sitting in the front. What can I say? I'm very antisocial. I took out my phone and headphones and decided to listen to some Demi Lovato. I was humming along to Heart Attack when I saw something that completely surprised me. Prince freaking Royce was sitting a couple of seats away from me on the opposite side.

I tried really hard not to look surprised but it completely caught me off guard. Like why would he be riding a bus if he had drivers and stuff. What stunned me the most was the fact that he was staring at me. I kept opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. I probably look like an idiot. I forced myself to look away from his chocolate brown eyes and began to stare at my hands folded in my lap. I'm so glad I'm dark. I almost never turn red.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see him slowly coming my way. At least I think he's coming to me. This made me so nervous that I began to bite my thumb. Curse my unhealthy habits that I pick up from anime. I just hope he won't notice my nervousness. Of course he will! He's used to people being nervous around him. He's a freaking celebrity! I refused to look up and kept my eyes glued to my hand that was sitting on my lap.

The bus slowly came to a stop and opened its big doors. Some people came in and took their seats. I don't know why but I decided to look up and saw that Prince Royce was leaving. He turned his head to me as he was walked out and never broke eye contact with me. I just stared into his hypnotizing eyes and felt fireworks exploding. The doors closed behind him and the bus started moving again.

My jaw dropped and I was completely dumbfounded as to what happened. I literally have no idea what that meant or why he was staring at me in the first place. What was going on? I thought about it the whole ride home and I still couldn't figure out why.

When I got to my apartment, it was midnight. I went straight to my room and peeled off my clothes and slipped into a t-shirt and shorts. I collapsed into my bed and felt myself dozing off when I remembered to text Ryan.

Me: Hey bear! I just got home and I'm in bed rn. Ohhhh btw, I think PR was staring at me on the bus. I'm not even sure what happened. I'll tell you about it laterrrr. Hope you had a great night with Thalia ;) xoxo

I chuckled to myself as I sent the message. I put my phone on do not disturb mode so I'm not woken up by Ryan questioning me. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out.

---Author's Note---

Hey guys! I hope you guys like the first chapter! ;D This whole story is inspired by Prince Royce's song Solita from his Soy El Mismo álbum! When I first heard it, I fell in love. By the way "Solita" means lonely or alone :) If you want a total translation of the song click here -> http://lyrics-translations.com/song/show/4052626/prince-royce/lyrics-and-translation-solita/

I decided to post this first chapter earlier than I wanted to in honor of Prince Royce's birthday! Feliz cumpleaños!

I actually did see Prince Royce at X Factor with Carlito Olivero in December xD Although I didn't use the real names of the people that actually took me because they are no longer my friends, which is kinda sad.

Anyways, the next chapter is basically a regurgitation of this one but it's going to be in Prince Royce's POV so y'all get to find out what he was thinking about our lovely character here ;)

'Til next time guys! I love you guys! ♡♡
