The Pain of Loving a Celebrity

Chapter 10

After a while the car stopped and we parked.I looked around and saw we were at a movie theater. I sighed and looked over at Charles.He was on twitter posting something.

"What are you doing?" I asked feeling my phone buzz in my jean pocket.

"Telling everyone that we are on a date of course,"he said putting his phone away.

I quickly pulled my phone out and opened Twitter. I looked at my notifications and saw he had tagged me in it. My eyes widened and I looked back at him,he was smiling proudly.

"So you do not really like me?"

"No I do! I just thought it would be a good publicity stunt," he said looking outside.

Shaking my head,we sat there for about ten minutes until people started to show up with cameras or paper and pens.

"Fans and paparazzi,how nice," I said sarcastically.

"The more pictures they get the more fans you get and the more fans you get the more money."

"I'm not in it for the money."
Charles sighed and got out of the car and pulled me with him holding my hand. I smiled and we quickly walked inside as they swarmed us asking questions and taking pictures.I could faintly hear girls asking for autographs from Charles. I frowned and pulled away from him then made my way through the crowd towards the fans.

"Hey you guys," I said with a genuine smile.

The girl's' eyes widened,shocked that I was talking to them like we were friends.I liked to consider my fans my friends.They were there for me and supported me like some others would not.

"You want an autograph from Charles huh?"

They nodded and I frowned a bit knowing he was probably inside. I could see the paparazzi taking pictures but I did not care.

"Well sadly he is inside..I could sign something for you?" I said smiling sadly.

One of the girls held out her phone and a permanent marker.I grabbed it carefully and signed her phone leaving a short message for her. The other girls then did the same but held out other things. Twenty minutes later,I finished signing things for everybody and went inside,my hand hurting. Charles was nowhere to be seen,so I figured he had already went to go see the movie.I walked up and bought my ticket. When I walked into the main area of the theater there was barely anybody except for the teenage boy at the concession counter.I walked over smiling and he looked up at me.

"Can I please get a water?" I asked nicely.

He nodded and quickly grabbed a water bottle from the cooler next to him.The boy then placed on the counter and typed something into the cash register.
"$2.00 please," he said turning to look back at me.

I quickly pulled out the five dollar bill and handed it to him.I read his name tag as he put the money in.His name was Carter.Carter handed me back the three dollars and my water. I smiled and gave it back to him.

"Keep it."

"Really? You do not have to," he said slightly shocked.

I nodded and he stuffed the money into his pocket. Carter then smiled and I laughed a bit.

"Thanks,"

"It is no problem and thank you," I said walking toward the theater.

"Your welcome," he said loud enough for me to hear.

I smiled and walked into theater six. To be honest I really had no idea what I was seeing.All I did was tell the women was I did not care what movie and that she could just suggest something for me. Walking,the movie had already started and there was not a lot of people.There was about 5 or less,I did not really bother to actually count. I made my way up the stairs and to the back where I sit. As I glanced around,I noticed Charles was not in here. At least it was a break from him and his jerky attitude. I sighed quietly and started to watch the movie.
