*I LIKE you- like you*

While your time as a pop star is coming to an end, your situation is as complicated as ever!

After the show...

I think I'm gonna collapse. I haven't slept more than a few hours in two days. No wonder Anna wanted nothing to do with this job. My phone glows as I receive a voicemail. Oh! My dad called.. I could call him back. I pick up my phone and place it against my ear.
Hello?
"I am so mad at you!" Dad said.
Well, hello to you too.
" you came all the way here and didn't even call me?! Didn't you think I'd want to see you?!"
I'm so sorry. I literally only had a couple hours to visit Hannah. Everything was such a rush. But you know I'll be home soon. We can all catch up then.
"I can't believe you came all the way out here. Of course, we appreciate it, but... aren't you really busy?" He questioned.
Busy is an understatement. I've never been this busy in my entire life. I reply with a huge sigh.
" exactly. So you shouldn't have—"
Nothing would've stopped me. I interrupted.
" well, I wish I could've seen you."
Same here. Is Hannah doing alright?
"She's in great spirits. Just watched some concert."
Oh um...how nice. (Shit. Please don't find out, please don't find out.)
"Speaking of..she wants to talk to you. Hold on." He gives the phone to Hannah.
"You were amazing lil sissy!" She commented with excitement.
Don't let dad hear you!
" I enjoyed it more than I would have if it was the REAL Anna." She continued.
...Really? You're not just saying that? How was my..singing? I'm guess I should say lip-syncing.
"So on point. You've really got her mannerisms down."
Thank you. My lips curled into a soft smile, revealing my little dimples.
"You're so cool."
Thanks! Are you feeling okay? I asked.
"I'm alright. Tired."
Well, get some rest. I'm going to do the same. I suggested.
"Call me later?"
Count on it. Love you sis.
"Love you too."
As I hung up the phone, I heard a knock on the door. Placing my phone down onto the wooden table, I sighed, walking over to the entrance of where the door stood.
Ugh, if that is Donald knocking again....I've had enough of him to last a lifetime. I thought.

I opened the door to find a familiar pair of eyes looking straight back at me.
To what do I owe the pleasure? You aren't sick of me yet? I giggled.
"I have to talk to you." Jamie stated in a very serious tone.
...okay. Why do you sound so serious? I asked.
"This is hard for me to admit, but..." he hesitantly said as he moved one step closer towards me. "What I want to say is....I like you."
Fuck. Jamie flatters likes me? There is no way.
I giggled nervously, I like you too.
"No, I like you-like you. As in I'm attracted to you. Very attractive to you. And not only that...but I'm interested in you." Jamie confessed.
I gasped. Are you serious right now?
"Very...Please don't say anything back right now. I just wanted to let you know....and now I'll be on my way." He explained as he began to make his way to the door to exit.
Wait!!! I yelled as I grabbed his wrists, pulling him round to face me again.
"Yes..?"
Umm...I.......you're right. We should talk later. I don't know what to say right now....I'm a little caught off guard. I explained.
"I thought you would be. It's not everyday a movie star admits their feelings to you."
Oh, Jamie. I smiled at him.
"Good night, Lils." He lifted my arm placed a soft kiss on my hand before leaving the room.
Goodnight Jamie. I whispered, but somehow he still managed to hear me and he smiled.
Oh my God.. did that just happen?

A few days later...

"The show starts in a few hours. You ready to go?" Donald asked.
As ready as I'll ever be.
"Good. You've got a couple of hours of interviews until then." He explained as he wrote a few things in his notebook.
Got it.
"And then? You're off the hook. I'll have the money transferred to your account... and you can go home." He said.
Aww. When you say it like that it makes me sad. I replied.
" you'll get the much needed break you need. And you'll be rich."
Yeah..rich. What's up with the real Anna Sophia, anyway? I wondered since no one ever told me what had really happened.
"She's in town... finally. We have a meeting tomorrow. We are going to figure things out, but we are all laying low for a while after this. This may be the end of Anna Sophia...or it may not. "
"Anyway, where's Jamie? I haven't seen him much these past few days... and I want him to do the next interviews with you." Donald asked whilst examining the hallway for any sign of Jamie.
I haven't seen much of him either....
"I'll go find him." Donald said, placing his phone and notebook in his side pocket and gradually disappeared into the distance.
I glanced around at the gorgeous dresses, the makeup chairs and observed the empty room I was now in. One more show and I'm done....time has flown by the past few days...i guess my mind has been preoccupied with Henry.. and Jamie.
Out of nowhere, a loud beep scared the shit out of me, making me jump in fright. Huh? A text from dad? That's weird. He never texts me.

Dad💙
ITS A MIRACLE!!!
I can't talk, which is why I'm texting...
But they found a heart for Hannah!!!
She's going into surgery right now!!!
It's dangerous but the doctors are very optimistic.
I wish you could be here.
Talk soon and don't worry.

OH MY GOD! They found a heart!!? This is unbelievable!
I suddenly bust into huge screams of excitement as I express my happiness by jumping up and down continuously. I'm so grateful that this miracle happened. ..."

"Is everything okay? I heard you yelling!" Jamie said.
They found a heart for Hannah! I replied. She was so far down on the list! And we had so many hospital bills....it doesn't make sense!
"Lilly, that's amazing! Congratulations."
I..oh god.. this could be it! She could finally get out of hospital! Oh, but what if something goes wrong? I said as I bit my lip with worry.
"Okay, you need to calm down."
You're right. I just need to move. Celebrate this!
I start to dance by myself until.. Jamie stood behind me, gently placing his arms
In front of my stomach as he intertwined our hands. His chin was placed on the top of my head giving me soft kisses trailing down to the back of my neck. He spun me round to face him and brought me closer as I placed my hand on his chest and hid my face in the space between his chin and neck.
I break the silence to say. God, I wish I could be there. I'm literally missing my sister's heart surgery. And there's nothing I can do about it.
"Well, there might be something we can do. But it would take another miracle." He explained as he played with my hair, curling a small section around his finger in attempt to comfort me.
What? I'll do anything. I stated as I pulled away from his embrace.
"I have to steal Donald's phone. Give me a second." He walked away.
Steal his phone?! What the hell? I thought.

Why are we out here? Can you please tell me what's going on? I asked as Jamie dragged me outside the building.
"In a minute. God, she sure does like to make an entrance." Jamie rolled his eyes.
Who? I turned around to see the ANNA SOPHIA in the flesh approaching us.
"Jamie, terrible to see you as always." She said giving him a dead eye.
"Likewise" he replied, returning the death stare. "Anna, this is Lilly." Anna turns to face me. " Lilly, this is Anna."
I gasped in disbelief as my jaw dropped in shock. How and why had she returned so soon. I still had one more show to perform.

A/N: we are coming close to the end of this book. But don't worry I have the 2nd book planned out already. So it's not goodbye just yet. It's only just the beginning:)
Much love <333
