There I Go Again

Chapter 41

 "Do you think that they're going

to make it this time?" Olivia asked Jamie over lunch.

"I don't know, but if they do

break up they better keep their shit together." Jamie answered.

"Ugh. I know exactly what you mean.

Kittie was all over the place. One minute she was happy, the next she

was listening to No Doubt and Alicia Keyes on full blast crying her

eyes out. I just wanted to shake her."

"I had to tell him to get out of the

house. I don't know what Phil and the other guys did to get him out

of the house. But I'm also not sure if I like what happened after

either."

"Yeah..like when did he become Brad

Pitt?" Olivia responded.

"Well if he's Brad Pitt then your

sister is Angelina Jolie." Jamie answered.

"Aahahahaha. We need to start

calling them that." Olivia laughed.

"Holllyyyy shittt..." Kassie

responded to the cameras flashing near her on her way into the club

that night.

" know it..." Lizzie said in

response smiling at the cameras as they walked in.

They walked passed everyone taking

their seats.

"Oh my gosh...and Bruno is

performing tonight, right?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah..you haven't seen him yet

have you?" Kassie asked.

"No. "

"He is soo good. Like the background

music is just the start. And he's producing and writing for

Atlantic..like this isn't what he wants to be. He wants to perform

for people. Make them happy..do everything.." Kassie said.

"Hey guys...ummm..I'm Bruno Mars.

Are y'all ready?" he got up shyly speaking into the microphone.

Kassie smiled at him easing his nerves. She could see his shoulders

loosen up and his jaw loosen as he started to play the first chords

to Seven Nature Army. He

played several songs ending with Dirty

Diana.

"Wow..." Lizzie leaned over to

Kassie. "He will be a star one day." They went back to their

drinks and conversation as he got off the stage. She glanced over

several times seeing girls standing next to him. She could see that

he was uncomfortable standing off to the side trying to escape. "I'll

be right back, Liz..." Kassie said. She went to the back of the

club to talk to Nick.

"Hey there, Kassie.." he

responded.

"You need to get him out of there.

He is going to have a panic attack..." she told him seeing the

sweat beading near his hat.

"Go get him..." Nick told her.

"Okay..." she said uncomfortably.

She walked up to the crowd. "Excuse

me...excuse me..." she touched each girl on the waist pushing

herself toward Bruno. She got several dirty looks. She rolled her

eyes finally reaching him. He looked up at her with his eyes lighting

up. She smiled at him and took his hand gently. "Excuse us,

ladies..." he smiled at them walking away.

"Uggh. What a bitch." Kassie heard

a girl respond. Kassie touched Bruno's back where his mic sat and

raised her eyebrow. He squeezed her hand back giving her permission

to go after the girl.

"Excuse me?" Kassie answered

turning around.

"You heard me. Geez. Just because

you're on this fucking show...that no one watches...." the girl

answered.

"What does that even mean?" Kassie

asked.

"It means that you're an entitled

E list celebrity who doesn't deserve him. He should be with a girl

that doesn't care if he's on tv or a star or...whatever...."

"Oh girl...you don't even know."

Kassie answered.

"Know what?" the girl asked.

"Know..." Kassie tried to find the

right thing to snap back with.

"Know that I was the first one he

fucked and will be the last one too...."

Bruno made a shocked face. Shit

just got real....he thought

to himself.

"Whatever. You're still a fame

whore. Whenever you want a real girl, you can call me, Bruno." the

girl answered. She kissed him on the cheek and walked away.

"Kassie!" Bruno yelled at her.

"Really? You really said that? Geez." he said walking away.

"It's true...." she said running

up to him touching his hand.

"You're crazy good." he winked

at her. "It just better be edited out..." he leaned his head on

her shoulder"Let's go home, Kittie." Kassie grabbed him

turning around with him.

"Okay...." she smiled taking his

hand leading him out the door. "I don't like all this attention..."

she said as they walked past the flashes hearing their names called.
