Alter Ego- (Kirstin Maldonado/ Mirstie)✔️

7.

Ok. I'm going to start finally putting photos in the media box.
Kirstie's POV
During the VIP meet and greet I could tell Mitch was not happy. But I wasn't surprised. I can't be two places at once, but I wish I could at that moment. I wish I could see Mitch's face light up when he saw me as Kirstie. Not as Taylor. It's great that I'm dating Mitch, but I feel like I'm lying to him whenever I talk to him. I'm putting up a strong front that can't be broken down. Even by me.

"Taylor?" I heard Mitch's soft voice as we headed back stage from the meet and greet. His face looked dull and broken. It made me want to cry but I couldn't. Because I wasn't Kirstie.

"I'm so sorry Mitch." I said bringing him into a hug, "I really am." Mitch then broke into tears. It's the first time I've ever seen him cry that much. Even though I've known him almost my entire life. I felt broken too. I was lying and shattering my own best friend just because of what I wanted. I could tell him. I should tell him. But I don't because I'm selfish and needy. I then broke into tears thinking about it. Mitch thought I was crying because of me, (Kirstie) not showing up. But no. I was crying because I than realized that I am selfish and vulnerable and I put myself first. I need to tell Mitch. But now it's too late. I've gone too far.

"We should go get ready now," Mitch said releasing from the hug and wiping his tears away. I nodded and kissed his cheek. It was me mentally telling him that I was sorry. Sorry for all the crap that he's had to go through. He went to his dressing room and I went to mine. My head was spinning so I sat down quietly and let Genevieve do my hair and make up. She left my hair because I told her I didn't like to touch it or style it. So she just did some cool make up.

Mitch's POV
I don't know why Taylor was crying. I mean she knows how much Kirstie means to me. But I didn't think she would take it to that extent. I then noticed she had a small piece of blond hair. It was short and curly. But that was it. Just one piece of blonde hair. I decided to say goodbye so I could think about what has happened today. I dragged myself towards the dressing room and plopped myself in a chair. Scott was sitting there with his phone. I sighed loudly and dramatically causing Scott to look up at me worried.

"What's wrong Mitchie?" He asked seriously. I rubbed my temples slowly. Breathe in, breathe out was all I could think of.

"I invited Kirstie to come see us but she never showed up." I said still rubbing my temples, "I think she hates us now." Scott shook his head. He now looked hurt too. I than thought of Taylor. How she had that one piece of blonde hair. It was very strange. I had to ask Scott. "I noticed that Taylor has this short and curly piece of blonde hair," I said looking at him. "It's very strange. And it was just one piece it wasn't like high lights or anything." Scott tilted his head obviously curious and confused.

"Hmm. Maybe we should ask her about it," he said looking back at his phone. I nodded my head and opened my phone to look through Twitter. I went to Kirstie's profile. There was nothing new. Absolutely positively nothing new. This situation is all too strange. Kirstie's always on Twitter. It just seems... I don't know, fishy. That's the word. I went out to find Taylor. When I found her she was grabbing her microphone and getting ready to perform.

"Hey," I said smiling weakly. Taylor now didn't have that one piece of blonde hair. Very strange. She turned to face me and smiled.

"Feeling better?" She said kissing me. I nodded and grabbed my microphone. "Taylor I saw that you had a piece of blonde hair. Why?" I asked tilting my head and facing her. She than tensed up, again? "Oh that's just an extension," she said looking down at her hands. I nodded, it still sounds fishy I thought to myself.

"Why did you take it out?" I asked facing her obviously confused. Her expression just became unreadable. But she shook herself and looked at me. "Oh it was just getting annoying," she than went to her side of the stage quickly. Why is she avoiding me? What did I do? We than performed. It was amazing! I love LA crowds. Their so wild! Once Kevin was done with his solo on the cello it was time for us to go out.

"Good luck on Aha! You'll kill it!" Scott said patting me on the back. I nodded and we all took our places for the Opera moment. Aha was perfect. Surprisingly I hit every single note perfectly. I just wish Kirstie was there. We than finished our show and went off stage. Taylor went to bed without saying anything. She also had her hood up. Why does she always have her hood up? Well I don't know but I tend on finding out, very soon.

Kirstie's POV
Life is just so confusing right now. I just couldn't take it anymore. So I just went to bed. I didn't want to talk to anyone not even Mitch. Mitch wouldn't stop looking at me too. I hope he's not thinking anything suspicious. I should just tell him. So here I am at three am, lying in my bunk while the time just ticks on. I had to go to the bathroom so I got up, put my hood on and quickly headed towards the bathroom. When I got out I saw Mitch standing there drinking water. I quickly ran past him and got into my bunk. I heard him whisper yell my name but I ignored him. I finally went back to sleep thinking about the horrid day about to come. When I woke up all I could hear were voices and my name.

"Seriously like Taylor has been ignoring me the most. And I never did anything to hurt her." Mitch is definitely thinking something suspicious.

"We'll talk to her. Try and get it out of her. She knows not to lie to her best friend." Esther does have a great point even though I've been practically lying this entire time. I then heard footsteps coming towards the bunk and than I heard Mitch mutter, "she knows not to lie to her best friends. But what about her boyfriend." It made me whimper thinking about it. I grabbed my wig and carefully brushed it out. I then put it on, made sure it was perfect and got out of my bunk. I smiled and said good morning to everyone. Mitch than grabbed my arm and pulled me into the back area. He sat down across from me and looked me in the eye.

"Taylor what's wrong? I'm your boyfriend I should know what's bugging you so we could fix it." I nodded my head and looked down at my hands, playing with them vigorously.

"Well lately I just feel like I'm not myself," that's true, "and I feel like I'm just putting up a front to impress you," that's also true. Mitch shook his head and put his arm around me. "I don't think you are. I mean we would've figured it out by now so I think you have nothing to worry about," I smiled and kissed him. He does kind of have a point but it's not making me feel as great as I'd want it to be.

"I feel like going for a walk. Anybody want to come?" Scott said sticking his head in.

"I'm going to stay here," Mitch said looking at him, "but Taylor will go." I looked at him shocked and he nudged me. Just being with Scott made me nervous. I mean he's Mitch's best friend. He knows probably everything. Scott and I made our way outside and found a cute park to walk in. We sat down on a bench and talked.

"Are you feeling better?" Scott asked breaking the silence. I nodded my head.

"I just thought that I was trying to be something else just so I could impress you guys. But Mitch told me that I probably wasn't." Scott looked at me and smiled. "Mitch knows best." He laughed causing me to laugh too. We decided to get up and go back to the bus. On the way I tripped on a twig and fell causing my wig to fall off. Scott looked at me confused and shocked. He took a step back and said,

"Kirstie?"
