It was coming up to time I would have off to go to the Oscars with Chris and I was over the moon. Terry worked everything out and I was getting a dress sent to Chris's house that I would be wearing and getting ready at his place.

I was getting ready to go on stage in Austin Texas and Terry was reading something on his phone and then looked at me.

"What?" I asked concerned.

"We can talk later..." Terry said and I groaned. I heard the band start playing the music for my intro.

"No! Tell me now!" I said and he groaned.

"LA show sold out too fast, they added another night to the LA stop."

"Fine, no big deal. When?" I asked.

"The 28th." Terry said.

"No! Terry! I can't do the 28th!" I said as the stage lift I was on started raising me up.

"I'm sorry Kins!" Terry yelled and I just then tried to put on a brave face while I was brought up to the screaming crowd and I smiled.

"HEY AUSTIN!" I yelled trying to use their energy to pump up my own knowing the call I had to make tonight when I got on the bus.

🎶 🎶 🎶

I got on the bus, changed into a t-shirt of Chris's with some shorts and put my hair up. I didn't want to make this call and I sat on the bed in the back of the bus with the door closed. I was just looking at his contact on my phone and knew I would be doing a facetime, not that I wanted to but I needed to. The tears started filling my eyes knowing I was going to upset him and break his heart, this was something for us, this was something we were going to get to do for us. I put my phone on the bed and left the bedroom and walked to the front where Terry was sitting with my PA Connie.

"I don't want to do the show on the 28th. Make them reschedule for that Monday or whatever but I will not perform. You make me pick between the concert or the Oscars and announcing my relationship with Chris, I go to the Oscars." I demanded and Terry pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You think I didn't try that?!"

"I don't know what you tried! I just want to be with Chris! This was planned, you promised me! When I told you, you promised me you wouldn't schedule anything!" I said and Terry groaned.

"This was the venue! Not me! I tried to get them to changed but it was announced and tickets were getting sold." Terry said.

"You realize what I have to go do now right?! I have to go tell him I can't go with him! I don't know how he is going to react. I pray to god he is understanding." I said and walked back to the bedroom slamming the door. I picked my phone back up and sighed. I closed my eyes as I connected to the facetime call. I heard him pick up and he saw me.

"Okay I know I didn't let it ring that long that you fell asleep." Chris said seeing my eyes closed and gave a small laugh. When I opened my eyes he saw tears starting to fall.

"Oh baby, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Chris asked and I shook my head.

"I have some news I don't think you will like." I said.

"What?" Chris asked getting nervous.

"So the LA concert the night before the Oscars sold out in record time and fans were complaining so the venue added another day, announced it and started selling tickets before Terry could confirm it..." I started off explaining.

"Don't say it Kinsley." Chris said closing his eyes and dropping his head.

"I'm sorry Chris...Terry tried to change it he is still trying but there is no hope. I have to perform on the 28th." I said and Chris growled.

"So what about us? What about debuting us together? What about us just being together?" Chris asked.

"Still come into town early. I may not be able to go to the show but we can still see each other. We can even still announce we are together. I want to be with you still Chris. I just cant go with you." I said and he growled and shook his head.

"This is getting harder to deal with Kins. Only facetiming with you, that's when you remember or arent too tired to even talk to me. You act like concerts are more important than other aspects of your life. I needed you the other night, you were off stage and told me you couldn't talk because your throat was sore and you were tired, I fucking needed you! I thought you were going to get some time off, I thought you were going to get to spend some time with me when I was in town." Chris complained.

"I'm on tour Chris, it's my job! I know it may be hard to comprehend but I cant just drop an already scheduled tour date to come and see you. Now one that got added is fucked yes. I thought you were going to make more of an effort to come and see me, you arent working right now." I said and Chris just groaned.

We were both silent for a few minutes and I just sighed.

"I cant do this anymore Kinsley, I just can't."

"Chris?" I asked in a small voice as it cracked from crying.

"I knew tour would be hard, like I knew your schedule could change like I also knew I would barely get to see you but I can't do this anymore. I thought there would be times, I thought there would be times you were in my arms and with me..."

"And I can be! You just need to come to LA. Please Chris don't do this..."

"No Kinsley."

There was silence and I just scoffed and shook my head.

"I never should have gotten involved with an actor. Acting your whole way through this relationship. Must have just been another role for you." I said.

"Well just think of the material you have now for songs for the next album." Chris said and I started crying again.

"Chris..." I said.

"It's over Kinsley, I'm done!" Chris said and abruptly hung up. I threw my phone and just started sobbing. After a few minutes there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Please go away." I sobbed.

"I have dinner for you Kins." Connie said.

"GO AWAY!" I yelled and I didn't hear anything else. I just laid there, hugging my pillow, smelling the shirt that smell like Chris, the man who didn't want me anymore, I cried myself to sleep that night.
