Reach For The Stars (Dallas Liu & Ian Ousley)

10

Ian's POV

We woke up today to the media frenzy of the Vogue shoot. It was released last night and it had already gone viral. Our managers let us know that we were getting requested for bookings left and right. From more shoots, to interviews, talk shows, and invitations to all sorts of events.

Also recordings of both Dallas and I at Star's concert last night were also going viral. People praised us for being good friends. I don't think it's something we should be praised for because it's impossible to not want to be there for Star.

Ever since Star and I met we have been attached to each other. She amazed me in every single way. Her kindness is just on another level, she's so sincere you just feel the need to protect her from the world.

I have to admit that I've always had a small crush on her, but I could never act on it. She has opened up in the past about how she has felt betrayed from past friendships when her male friends would tell her they're into her. I don't want to do that to her. I can't do that to her. So I just love her in the ways that I can.

When we were drunk in New York, it stung when I saw her caress into Dallas' arms. I told myself to not take it so seriously since that was the way we all got along. All I could do was brush it off, I felt as if I just drank some more those feelings would just go away.

I love my friends, and I can't be the one to mess this up. I want to be there for Star until the day she decides she doesn't want me around anymore.

"Hello, earth to Ian." Star waves her hand in my face.

"What?" I resume back into the conversation.

"Are you okay?" Dallas asks.

"Yeah, sorry I'm just taking all this in."

"It's a lot isn't it?" Star says.

"This is fantastic. For the first time in my career I feel like I'm finally breaking through." I say.

"Same for me, I can't get it wrapped around my head." Dallas says.

"Isn't it so great that we get to do this together." Star's smile lights up the room.

"I wouldn't want it any other way." I tell them.

"Me neither." Dallas adds.

"Same." Star says.

Star's POV

I was sitting in the business room of my record label as we tried to discuss the next moves for my career.

Everyone sat around the room discussing what I should do next. They wanted me to be everywhere.

"Definitely the 2000's vibe is coming back and I think we should really stick to that." Someone suggests.

"So like Paris Hilton vibes?" Another person speaks up.

"Yeah! Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, that type of vibe."

"Um you guys do know they were in a really toxic feud right?" I mention.

"Obviously not include that silly. But just the overall vibe of having fun and enjoying your work." Kass says.

I just nod my head.

"So where are we on new music?" Kass asks.

"I have been working on some stuff." I say.

"We also have some collaborations lined up."

"You should take this opportunity to work with as many people as you can."
