Aftermath (our tragic story)

16. Finally (2)

"Very good, Timothy. Nice work." The photographer said to me. I am working in showbiz since I was little because of my mom. And now I am in my last year of senior high school and I also have to compete with another school.

"Tim, you have to perform in a competition. As usual, JM will be there." My groupmate said. 

"I don't know when will JM lose the competition." I stood up and get my phone because of boredom.

When I saw that post I felt jealous. Even though I won the competition I will never win Lorraine's heart. I turned my phone off and focus on rehearsing. Until the competition day comes, I am ready to win the competition.

"There's your girl." My best friend Nico said. 

"She's really pretty," I said. I always see Lorraine at the competition because of JM.

"We already said to court her but you still stayed in your zone." I left Nico and went straight to the restroom until I heard a girl crying.

"Miss, are you okay?" I asked when I saw her in front of the mirror holding her phone.

"Leave me alone please." I parted my lips when I saw who is she.

"Lorraine?" I whispered. "Uhm... here. I hope you are okay." I said and her best friend Railey came.

"Shush, It's okay Love." Railey hugged her and I wish I am the one who hugged Lorraine.

I washed my hand in the restroom when JM entered. I didn't say or do anything and just ignored his presence. 

"Hey bro, Good luck do your best." He said and tapped my back.

"I will really do my best," I replied but not about the competition but to Lorraine that he will be mine soon.

Fast forward, we won the competition and still, I continued my profession. My spotlight is brighter than I expected. a lot of people follow me and I can already feel the dark side of showbiz that I can't freely do anything I want without the permission of my company.

"Timothy, you will debut to another group." My manager said and I signed the trainee contract. I received my own studio and a parking space as soon as I signed the contract.

"You better do good. Follow my lead." Yara is the most annoying entitled princess I've ever met.

"I will do what I can. You can't control me." I said in a cold tone. A lot of people shipped me to this girl. I rolled my eyes and posed for the camera.

The shoot doesn't take long but still, it's done at night. I asked my manager if I can just unwind until tomorrow and he said yes. I went somewhere I can breathe. I drove all the way up to see the city lights.
