*Congratulations*

The news of your fake engagement spread fast and wide.. all the way to Sully's.

Well, that didn't take long. The news of Anna and Jamie's engagement is talk of the town. How did you get a buyer for the footage so quickly? I questioned.
"Are you kidding me? This is major news. My phone has been ringing nonstop! We're going to have a lot of interviews to do after the tour is over." Donald explained.
But..what is this all leading to? Anna and Jamie can't REALLY get married.
"I know that. The real Anna would never agree to that. We will just have to plan a dramatic breakup. We are going to get just as much press from that, I'm sure. People will be talking about Anna Sophia long after her tour is over."
Thats..genius. Well, even though that's put a bad taste in my mouth..your a smart man, Donald. Not surprised you're working for Anna.
"Thank you. It's not easy to work with the media...but I've got it down to a science." He said.
Sure seems that way.
"We'll be heading ashore soon. And then we've got a flight and an interview. Another big performance tomorrow as well. Make sure to get some sleep." Donald mentioned.
Will do.
A notification rings on my phone. As I slide it out my blazer, I saw Henry's contact on my Home Screen. I accept the call request and lead myself to a more private area of the boat.
Henry!
"Hey, lils. Is now a good time?"
Actually, not really. I'm actually a little busy at the moment.
"Yes, you sound busy..I can barely hear you. Is that wind?"
Sorry. And good guess. It's very windy where I am.
"I bet it is."
Can I call you back in a few hours?
"Don't worry about it. I'm sorry to interrupt. But it's not everyday the girl I like gets engaged. I had to offer my congratulations."
(Shit! Ummm how do I get out on this one? Think Lilly?)
Why, Henry! Is that a proposal? I mean don't you think it's too soon for us?
"Not in the mood to joke, lils. Does that name Jamie flatters ring a bell?"
Henry—
"Look, I'm jealous and in a bad mood. I'm sure you have an explanation...but I'm not interested in hearing it right now." He angrily told me.
I-I-I have no idea what you're talking about, Henry!
" you and I both know that's not true. But don't worry I won't say anything."
Henry—
"Go back to Jamie. I'm sure he is waiting for you."
Henry! Ugh! SHIT!
I leaned my arms against the boat's fence as I placed both my hands to cover my face from the silent tears that rolled down my cheeks and began to sniffle.
"Everything okay?" Said a voice behind me. I lifted myself off the fence and faced the person who was standing in front of me, revealing my sore blood shot eyes and tears that remained on my skin. It was Jamie.
No! Everything is far from okay. But I don't want to talk about it. I yelled as I walked away but he followed me all the way to our flight home on the plane.
"Lils, come one. You've been sulking since we got off the boat. I thought you'd be happy. Today was a good day. And that ring on your finger is fly! "
It's not my ring, Jamie. And I'm not engaged. I reminded him.
"So what, you still get to wear it." He said as he put my hands in his, caressing my palm to calm me down. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't working. Not on me it wasn't.
I just want to go back to my old life. Being Anna is ruining everything. Next week can't come soon enough.
"I'm not looking forward to next week. I'll miss you when this whole thing is over."
I'll miss you, too. I really will. You're the best part about this gig.
"Of course i am." He laughed as he brushed his soft thumb against my cheek. "But tell me what's bothering you." Jamie pleaded.
I don't really want to talk about it. Just...something with Henry.
(Please don't let Henry blow my cover. It will ruin everything.)
"Henry? Your sort of but not boyfriend back home? Are you still worried about that loser?"
He's not a loser! You don't even know him.
"I know enough. He's not good enough for you."
That's sweet, but—
"Ah ah I don't want to talk about that guy anymore. Come sit next to me on the plane. I want us to spend more time together."
Fineeee.

As we sit down in our seats on the plane, i noticed the seats are sorted into pairs of 2. And look like giant couches, with one armrest down the middle. Jamie slides into the seat beside me and turns the giant screens on in front of us. He presses play on both of our screens at the same time, as our screens move together in sync. Within a few minutes I was asleep on Jamie's shoulder as I felt his head rest against mine. I had been craving a decent rest from all the hard work I've been putting in for the past week.

"I know you are both tired. I am tired as well after that long flight... but we are in LA and we need to do a quick interview about the engagement. I set it up here at this restaurant so you guys could eat at the same time. Does that work for you both?" Donald questioned.
"Works for me." Jamie said as he looked at me waiting for my response.
"Are we close to the hotel?" He added.
"Down the block." Donald informed us.
"Great."
"Lils.. you're ecstatic about this engagement. You and Jamie are totally in love. I really need to feel the passion coming through in this interview."
Passion? You got it. I replied.
"Jamie, I'm counting on you to help her."
I just told you, I got it. I said with an offended expression.
"Sure I'll help." Jamie said, the both of them completely ignoring me.
You guys are unbelievable.
"Ed should be here any minute. And remember, this is for style train."
I know what passion is.
"Okay but..what does it mean to you?" Jamie asked.
Huh?
"What does passion mean to you?" He repeated this time more firm.
Come on...
"Just answer the question.."
I don't know. I've never thought about it. But I guess passion means uncontrollable emotion. A love for something or someone that can't be tamed.
"Interesting take. We're on the same page then."
And just in time. Here he comes! I whispered.

"There is the happy couple!" Ed exclaimed. "Congratulations. You both look sun kissed and fabulous. And that ring, Anna!" He gasped at the sight of it.
I know. It's perfect. Just like the love I feel for Jamie.
"AWW! You two are so sweet. So, I just have a few questions... well, more like a million." He chuckled. "You guys are the hottest couple since Adam and Eve. We are hope you guys NEVER break up."
"That will never happen." Jamie said as he placed his arm and wrapped it around my waist tight.
(Oh geez, if only they knew....)

As I arrived at the hotel after the interview, I headed to my luxury suite.
What a long day. I need to—
Oh a phone call?
Dad!
Finally. I haven't heard from you and Hannah—
"Lils.. I need to talk to you." He said in a very serious voice.
What is it?
"Hannah—she slipped into a coma yesterday."
Suddenly, I just froze for a moment, processing what I had just heard. A small gasp left my mouth as dad's words repeated in my mind. My eyes began to tear up.
