Listen To Your Heart ~ Book One.

Dear Diary part 1

"Probably my manager. Calling to check up on me and set up my interviews with the media."

"Need me to leave?"

"No. I intend to tell him about us."

(Billie answers her phone and talks to her manager. Everything seems to go smoothly, until Billie mentions that she is pregnant, and that she doesn't know who the father is, and that she had asked me to marry her. Her manager is silent for a while.)

"We need to get ahead of this, Billie. We need to meet with our P.R. team.... A.S.A.P."

"Actually...I was going to tell you. After my ordeal...the doctor has ordered me to relax. So, I was going to spend time with my new boyfriend."

(I sit there with my mouth hanging open. Wondering why Billie never told me about her plans.)

"A small vacation isn't a bad idea, Billie...but we need to have a meeting and a press conference first, before you simply disappear."

"Can't the meeting wait? I really want to spend time with my new boyfriend."

"There are questions that you need to answer face to face with management, Billie. Before we talk to the media. Your brother needs to come to the meeting as well."

"Why? He's not the one who's pregnant and getting married...I am."

"Because you were supposed to be practicing 'safe sex' during your tour. Obviously, you didn't, since you're pregnant and getting married, which means you and your new boyfriend broke the contract. We need to discuss how this will affect your career going forward. See you both in two hours."

(The call ends.)

"Billie?"

"Yea?"

"You once told me that you were on birth control. If that's the case, how did you get pregnant?"

"I'll answer your question...if you tell me the real reason why you have to leave?"

"For your own safety...I can't...I'm sorry."

"Then if you truly love me, you won't ever ask me that question again."

"Alright."

(The meeting takes place hours later. Meanwhile Billie's mother has found Billie's diary. She is shocked by what she reads.)

'Dear diary. On tour again, but this tour is very important to me considering the disaster of the last one. David is with me this time, which makes me very happy, but since this tour is so very important, we haven't been able to spend any time together. We see one another during sound checks and the actual show, and I want to be in his arms so badly, but I'm just so busy! David doesn't complain about it, but I can see it in his eyes, he misses me. I want to be with him too, but I'm afraid that if we hold one another, I'll never want to let him go. Besides...we can't be caught together...what would my fans think?'

(The next entry is dated two weeks later.)

'I've spoken to my brother Finneas. He tells me that I'm better off without David. Not exactly words I wanted to hear, especially since my night terrors and my tremors are getting worse. I tried to explain this to Finneas, and he said he would help me. I don't know what he means by that, he just said I'd find out after the show.'
