Jojos pov
I sat at my dressing table doing my makeup. I decided on rainbow theme. I tried to make it look as good as possible. My hair was pulled back into half up pigtails. I had to make it look as good as I could. Not cause I was trying to catch anyone's attention at all. I was a lot more nervous than usual. There was a knock and Ezra came in. "Ready?" He asked. I shook my head no. "Hey why not?" He said pulling me up out of the chair by my hand. "I invited someone to the show tonight" I told him. "Oooooooo. who is sheeee" he asked. I chuckled. "I met her on insta. she's adorable. I told her she could come backstage later." I said to him with a smile. "Hm. Cool. Good for you girl. Go out there. Just be yourself and kill it. I'll make you look even better." He said with a wink. "Love you ezzie" I said giving him a hug. "I love you" he said tightening the hug.
It was showtime. I ran into stage. I searched around for her. I potted her with a banner that said "I'm the girl from Instagram" it made me laugh while I sang. I could see she knew every word of every song. She danced and sang all night with I think her brother.
After the show finished I asked my mom to go invite her backstage. I fixed myself up. I stroked star while I waited. Ezra came and sat beside me. "It's gonna be fineeee. Chill jojo." He said with a hand on my knee. "Yeh. I know. I'm fine" I said brushing myself off. There was a knock. "Come in!" I said. I stood up and put star down. "I've got some guestsss" my mom said showing them in. There she was. She was...how do I put this...beautiful. She gave me the biggest smile. "Instagram girl!" I said doing a shimmy over to her. She laughed. "Chelsea" she said. "I knew that" I said. "We got matching shirts" she told me. Her and her brother both had on a blue dream shirt. "I love ittt" I said with a chuckle. "Hi I'm jojo...your Matt right?" I said shaking his hand. "Matthew but you can call you Matt. It's so nice to meet you!" He told me. "Nice to meet you too dude" I responded. "Matthew there's a bar downstairs if you want us to show you we're it is and grab a few drinks?" My dad told him. "Sounds bliss I'm down." He said. Ezra winked at me and followed them out. There was an awkward silence. "The show was amazing...you were amazing" Chelsea told me with her dimples showing. "Awe your so sweet thank youuu" I said with a smile. "Hey can I tell you something?" Chelsea asked me "yeh ofcorse anything." I said sitting down on the couch. She sat beside me. I sat with my elbows on my knees. "What would you do if your family were all Christians who lived by very specific beliefs and you believe different than what they do?" She said looking stressed. "Hm. I suppose i would stand tall. Take the hurt but remember that what they think doesn't define who I really am. Christian or not God loves you in his own unique way. Be strong." I told her putting a hand on her knee. She gave me a smile. "So uh..what if I told you I think that I'm bisexual?" She asked me nervously. "I think that absolutely amazing chelsea. Thank you for telling me." I said fo her with a smile. "Your the first person I've ever told actually..." she added. That made my heart happy. "I'm so proud of you" I said. I pulled her into a hug. I heard sniffling. "Chels? Why are you crying?" I asked her. "I'm scared" she said to me. "Listen to me. You are loved by so many people. The people who truly care for you will stay with you. I will. I know that for sure. Tell the people you trust with your gut. If it helps...I could tell them for you?" I told her rubbing her shoulders. "I'd like that. I want to tell my brother first" she told me. "Okay. Lets get him in here then yeh?" I asked. She nodded.
A few minutes later Matthew came in. "Hey guys. What's up?" He asked. "A lot actually" Chelsea said. "Oh?" He said sitting down beside her. "Chelsea wanted me to tell you that...she thinks that she is bisexual and she's just a little scared that you will shut her out" I explained. He looked at her and then a smile appeared. "I could never" he said giving her a hug. I love this. "I'm so promise of you blue" he told her. "I love you Marty" she said. He kissed her head. Awwwwwwww.
"God I wish my brother was a nice as him. He never hugs me" I said with a giggle. "Do you want me to tell mum and dad for you?" He asked her. "Sure" she said. "Just know...whatever happens...you got me" he added. She nodded with a smile. He went out. I went over to my dresser. "Now...you need this" I said picking up a rainbow bow. I clipped it into her hair. "Thank you thank you thank you" she said throwing her arms around me. "Ofcorseeee. It's what I do" I told her. We pulled out of the hug and for a split second our eyes locked. All of a sudden chelsea put her lips on mine. I was shocked. She pulled away. "I-i am so sorry. I need to go now." She said awkwardly as she rushed away from me. I felt bad. "Chelsea wait!" I shouted as she ran down the hall. Do I let her go? I think she needs space. I feel guilty cause...I didn't hate it.
Chelsea's pov
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Why did I do that. She's never gonna talk to me again. I ran down the hall and out the main doors. I went and sat on the grass overlooking the sunset. I need to process. I knew I liked her but I didn't have to kiss her! I sat with my head in my hands. I heard footsteps. I looked behind me. It was her. She had sweatpants and a hoodie on. Her hair was in braids. She looked cute. "Hi" she said. I didn't answer. She sat down beside me. "It's okay you know. Your confused. I get it." She said to me. I looked at her with a soft smile. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen jojo." I told her. "Hey. I told you. Don't worry about it." Jojo said to me. "I'm just...overwhelmed. It's all just happened so fast." I said. My phone bleeped. It was a text from my mom. "Pack ur bags." It said. My eyes filled with water. "Chelsea. What's wrong?" She asked me. I showed her my phone. She pulled me into a hug. "Your gonna be okay. I've got you." She told me. "I'm gonna book you a hotel room okay? You can stay there for as long as you need." She said to me softly. "You don't have to" I told her over my sniffles. "But I want to" she told me. We both just admired the sunset. Jojo held out her hand. I looked at her. She nodded. I intertwined my finger in hers. She gave me a smile. I put my head on her shoulder. "You know the most surprising thing about what happened back there...I didnt not like it." She said to me. I looked up at her and smiled. She gave me one back. "Thank you" I said. "Anytime" she replied.
