Escaping Fame

The Truth Hurts

Tori was still on cloud nine after meeting Big Time Rush, especially Jade's "ex-boyfriend she is rumored to be getting back together with".

Beck was far from cloud nine and still sinking lower, it was like every time he got to see Jade and hold her and kiss her was like Christmas and when she had to leave again it was like the day after Christmas. His whole vibe was deflated like a big black balloon after a wild party.

Between Tori's high and Beck's low is where Robbie found himself. Even knowing that Cat Valentine's stage persona wasn't really her he couldn't shake the intense feelings he had.

He still knew in his heart that he loved her, but he rarely got to see her and hang out with her in person. He didn't have the connection that Beck had wih Jade. Cat didn't give him all her attention when he was wih her. In fact while they were backstage it seemed like Cat was flirting with any guy hat wasn't taken so she giggled when Carlos did somehing funny, laughed when Logan said something she didn't really understand, and the whole time she was sitting with the three of them her eyes would drift to her bodyguard, Andre. Almost as if every move she made was to gage his reaction and make him jealous.

Robbie's best guess was since he was there bodyguard he wasn't allowed to actually hang out with them. He had to always be alert and couldn't goof off as much as he might want. Instead, he would stand over by the door watching Cat from a far. He would glance over at Jade from time to time, but his eyes were trained to Cat Valentine as she flirted.

Robbie rummaged through his box with his collection of magazines that were about or just mentioned Black Sunshine. He found the one Tori told him about, the reason Beck and Tori met Jade and Cat after their concert. The scandal that almost ruined their entire career as a pop duo.

Star Spotted!

Cat Valentine of Black Sunshine was seen exiting a motel with a random man, upon further digging we found out that the man was none of than one of the duo's bodyguards by the name of Andre Harris. The so-called innocent and pure Cat Valentine was caught outside the motel kissing her lover goodbye before she got into a black vehicle and left the scene.

Robbie frowned looking at the full page picture again. When he first saw the picture and read the paragraph  he wrote it off as rumored tabloid nonsense. His perfect princess Cat would never be seen in such a shady area with a man, but now he knew it was true. Cat had a thing with her bodyguard in a seedy motel in the middle of a nowhere away from L.A. and she got caught by paparazzi.

Robbie tore the picture out of the magazine and ripped it in two, then he shredded it with his hands again and again until he couldn't rip it anymore. Until the pieces of paper fluttered to the floor like the pieces of his heart and his shattered dream.

Robbie felt water dripping from his eyes. "Who was I kidding? I was never gonna be her love. She's way out of my league and she's not even- She's not even a virgin like me. I'm just a loser and she is-" He looked up at his limited addition cardboard cut out. "She is a goddess." He sighed.
