Almost Famous (Machine Gun Kelly)

11

On stage things were different between Kells and I. He seemed distant and it frightened me. Did I do something wrong? Was it a situation that was personal? . Nick got mad at me for last night when he got told I ran off with Colson when we were supposed to be here. He told me it wasnt my job to be his therapist, it was important that i was his insurance client. Now I'm only allowed to talk about work.

Today just seemed different. Colson has been acting in a weird way. He has some attitude today, seems tired and has been ignoring all of his calls from whomever keeps calling. Ashley told me that he gets in these moods every now and again so it makes it harder for the crew to figure it out.

I caught myself zoning out as the meeting started. Nick sat next to me as he took notes, handing me post its. When I looked up I seen a drained Colson staring at me.

"I think that the zip line is a bad idea Mr. Baker. For that to work we need to raise some money for it and I don't think you'll like to hear how much". Nick said as she handed Ashley a paper.

"He'll be harnessed, and if he falls there's a soft cushion of fans under him". Olivia sighed and picked at her nails.

"By all means, take that idea but do remember if his boot kicks someone's face hard enough as he lands on them they break their face". Brain spoke and basically shushed Olivia in private.

With all this talk going on I understood what Colson was talking about. He's the artist, why cant he make the decisions?

"I think he's all good to go. You see this man climb a stage almost every show, you see him crowd surf, this is what the fans want. They want stuff from Colson and his band only". I said as I turned to him.

"Its not that easy Emily. Colson needs to watch what he does, it's not like he's well liked right now". Brian said and I honestly felt offended for Colson.

"And that's just the perspective on other people, not his fans who adore him". I sassed.

For the first time today I seen a small smirk come from the beautiful man's lips.

"I think we need a break. Anybody want coffee"? Ashley asked and I nodded.

"Great idea, Em you know how i like it". Nick smiled and I gave him a fake one back.

Ashley, Colson and I stood up and walked out of the meeting room in the arena and went to find coffee.

"Ashley"! Colson groaned as we made it down the hall.

"I know Kells. I'm trying to fix it. Leave it to me okay".

As we walked up to the stand I turned to look at Colson. He was playing with his lighter. He seemed off again.

"You okay"? I asked and he looked up.

"Yeah, just a rough night". He said.

He leaned over, his arm going over me to grab his coffee, my face practically against his chest.

"Colson"?

All three of us turned to see a girl with long black hair, greenish blue eyes and dressed in all leather. She gave us a smile as she walked up to Colson.

"Megan." Colson's eyes lit up and handed me his coffee as he walked over to her.

Ashley and I sat there watching the whole thing. She seemed mad, which caused him to physically shut down. It was written all over his face. I turned to Ashley as she pushed me towards the way we came.

"Things are gonna get bad if we stay. Megan doesn't like a crowd when she yells at him. She likes to make it seem that his anger is to her, not with her". She sighed.

"Is that why hes all upset today? Was there a fight"? I asked.

"With them two you'll never know". She said and opened the door to the meeting room.

I stopped and looked back to see alot of hand moving, arguing tactics. She was yelling at him as he just stood there. I turned back to walk in but got stopped by Nick.

"What the hell are you doing"? He asked and grabbed my arm.

"Nothing. I was sipping my coffee". I lied. I was totally easdropping.

"That isn't your job to fix a engagement. They can fix it themselves. Your job is to keep him safe on stage do you understand me"? He asked. His fingers still wrapped around my forearm.

"Okay I get it. Get off of me". I said and I think that only pissed Nick off.

"Are you trying to get us to lose this? Keep your personal relations to that man away from your work. Do you understand me"? He hissed and let go of my arm.

As he walked off I turned to see Colson walking over.

"What are you doing tonight"? He asked as he watched Nick walk off.

I looked around him to see Megan was gone. I wonder where she went?

"I'm meeting my mom at the airport with my daughter. She's coming to stay with me for a few days". I said as his facial expression lightened.

"Really? That's great". He smiled.

"I did want to ask if you can do me a favor? She's a big fan. Would you mind meeting her"? I asked.

He gave me a smile and put his arm around my shoulders.

"Absolutely". He smiled and when he let go to walk back into the meeting I sighed.

Nick was going to kill me.
