Reach For The Stars (Dallas Liu & Ian Ousley)

1

Star's POV

When you reach for the stars when is the point where you have to let go? If you cling on to a star to tight you can start to burn. When you come from nothing and have never felt the feeling of love it feels strange when the world begins to love you. All eyes are on you and you're this perfect thing.

Strangers dedicate themselves to you. Peoples hearts race at the sight of you. To many you become their world.

All my wishes begin to come true and for once I feel accepted. Everything I have ever wanted is at the palm of my hand.

But as quickly as the world lifts you up at any moment you can come crashing down...

"Okay listen up everyone!" I gather around my crew. "Another night another show we've got this! Like always we will do better than the last."

I get a wave of agreement from my backup dancers and the band.

"To Boston!" We all raise our shots and chug.

"Come on Star we need to get you on stage in two minutes." Kass, my manager, begins to walk with me.

"Star! I have Ian and Dallas on the phone." Lily, my assistant, rushes over.

I screamed in excitement as she hands me the phone.

"Hey besties!" I say as I climb onto the platform.

"Goodluck with your show tonight! You are going to rock it!" Dallas yells as the volume in the stadium was piercing through our ears.

"Yeah! We're so sorry we can't be there!" Ian adds.

"Don't be sorry! I'm so proud of you guys! Goodluck with the premier." I tell them.

My best friends Ian Ousley and Dallas Liu are on a premiere tour for their new show the live action Avatar The Last Airbender.

"We love you!" They both say.

"Love you guys!" I do a small kiss gesture with my hands.

I hand over my phone to my Lily and take a deep breathe in.

"Let's do this." I say as the platform begins to rise.

I hear my music cue and I begin to harmonize.

The screams take over the arena and everything begins to blend in together.

"Boston, let me hear you scream!"

"Thank you Boston!" I say into the microphone.

"You have been wonderful tonight. I am so grateful for every single one of you here helping my dreams come true. I love you guys so much! Get home safe." I run down to the barricade and greet as many people as I can.

Security takes me backstage and I go straight into a car.

My manager and assistant are there with a water bottle in hand.

"Great show tonight Star, each night you just keep getting better." Kass says.

"That's the goal." I smile. "Thank you." I take the water bottle from Lily.

"So! There's this party going on tonight hosted by Louis Vuitton and they would love to have you as their special guest." Kass explains.

"Just a reminder that you have a flight later tonight, do you want to rebook it for the morning?" Lily adds.

"No to both. I don't think it's good idea to go party right now because I want to leave tonight."

"But this party would be very good press for you."

"Not tonight, I'm also tired."

"Well you  won't be resting at an airport so might as well just make a quick appearance." Kass insists.

"Kass, please no. Not tonight, our next stop is New York I will gladly go to any parties while we're there but just not tonight." I explain.

Tonight I am catching a flight and surprising Dallas and Ian at there next premiere. Netflix and them have been inviting me but because our schedules crash with one another it has been difficult to squeeze some time in.

I want to be there to support my best friends.

We reach the hotel we're staying at and I rush in immediately into the shower.

I change into a hoodie and flared leggings. I blow dry my brunette hair and throw into a ponytail.

My flight lands in Milan and the jet lag is so real. I slept as much as I could on the  plane but the excitement of seeing my friends was winning.

I had reached out to the boys management and initially they wanted me to surprise them on the carpet but I declined. I didn't want to take away from not only them but the entire casts moment.

As I stepped out of the airport it was easy to find the driver who was taking me to the hotel.

We arrived to the hotel and I see Dallas assistant standing out-front. "Thank you." I say as the driver opens the door for me.

"Star! So good to see you. Here's your key, the boys should be up right now. Let me help you with your stuff."

"Thank you, don't worry I got it." I smile.

"I was able to get you an extra key for the room." He hands it to me.

I take the elevator up, they were staying at the penthouse.  I place the key over the door and slowly open the door.

"What the-" I hear Ian say.

"Surprise!!" I shout.
