The first VIP session was at our next gig.

But somehow, that blogger girl Natty ended up standing before me backstage after the first show

"Natty?" I ask, staring straight at her.
"Hello, Penny." She says,
"How did you get here?"
"Three buses and a ten minute walk." She says
"No, I mean how are you..." I gesture to the room around me "Here?"
"Oh." Suddenly her face seemed more confident, "My dad's friend's girlfriend's uncle works in the business. I also have a ton of contacts that can get me into the building." she holds up a security badge and smiles, "I'm allowed to meet you guys. Honestly this is super exciting for me."
I blink at her
"Of course, I'm here also for my blog." She says.

Upon seeing Natty, the others had stopped talking and were looking at me.
"Oh my gosh!" Natty exclaims, "Bars and Melody? Harvey? Kelsey? Jordan? Mickey? Niamh?" She squeals "I'm so excited to meet you guys!"

Leo whispers something to Niamh, and they laugh. I watch Natty's gaze shift to them and her eyes narrowed.
"Erm... Natty?"
She looks at me smiling
"Yes?"
"Word?"

We go out the back into the sunshine. I smile at her and she grins back.
"Look," I begin, "Niamh doesn't know about Kayla."

Natty's smile fades. Then, her lips form a smirk, "Awe bless her. Leo up to his fuck boy ways?"
I roll my eyes
"And don't act all innocent." She says "I can't believe you thought I could hide it."
"Hide what?"
"I said don't act all innocent. You know exactly what I mean."
"I actually don't."
"You and Charlie dip shit."
I blink "We're just friends."
"That's not what it looks like. On stage you guys couldn't have done that much acting. And I saw it at soccer six. And I have inside help. One of your friends is giving me the goss."
"Who?"
"Doesn't matter." She says "But don't worry; I'll hide things from Niamh. From Kayla. From Michaela."
"What do you want from me?"
"I'll have a think." Natty says, smirking.
And at that moment, I feel myself tremble.

Later on we are packing up when Jordan runs onto the bus murmuring "Keep him off."
I glance back and see Jake running after her, "Jordan!" He shouts, "Jordan!"
"What have you done now?" I snap at him and he sighs heavily. He looks pretty sad, his eyes glancing at the door to the bus which Niamh guarded, glaring at him.
"I need to talk to her."
"You ruined the only chance you have of talking to her." I say, "Leave before you say anything else."
"But I need to explain she didn't let me finish. She needs to know."
"Know what?"
"Why I've done this."
I glance at Niamh, and she nods, as if knowing what I was thinking.
"Why have you done this? Why is breaking up with Saffron so hard for you?"

He sighs, "If I dump Saffron, my secrets will go viral. My life will be ruined. She has to know that if I could I would be with her. I love her I just can't dump Saffron..."
"Who cares about some secrets?"
He sighs "Thats the thing. If they were just my secrets, I'd risk it. God dam I'd have done it already. But they aren't just my secrets. They're Jordan's. And they're yours."
