The Pain of Loving a Celebrity

Chapter 17

Cameron drove quietly to the police station.I had no idea what to say or do right now.It was a dream but he did not believe me. I sighed and looked over at him as he kept driving.

"Cameron ,it was a dream.I want to go back to the arena," I said becoming angry.

"I do not think it was okay?" he said stopping

I growled and quickly got out slamming the car door closed behind me. Cameron quickly rolled down the window as I walked away from the car.

"Jessa please come back!"

"Not unless you take me back and accept that it was a dream!" I yelled turning to him.

"Fine,but get back in the car please."

I nodded and ran over then got back in. Cameron smiled a bit before turning around going back.I leaned back and looked up at the car ceiling.The ride was silent the entire time until we got back. I made my way out and stretched yawning. It was about four and I was hungry again. I turned to Cameron who stood next to the car frowning. I sighed and quickly walked onto my tour bus. I had to perform tonight,so I changed into the planned outfit. Making my way to the arena,Charles was walking towards it too.I was not in the mood to talk to him or see him. He jogged over to me and walked with me inside.

"Hey Jessa," he as we continued to walk.

"Hi Charles," I said annoyed.

"So Cameron and you went on a date?"

"Yup. Besides why are you talking to me?"

"I do not know. I am just curious about what is going on in your life," Charles said with a shrug.

I rolled my eyes and stopped at my dressing room door. He stopped to and looked at me.

"I hope your girlfriend and you do well," I said opening the door.

Before I could go in,my wrist was grabbed and I was turned. I smirked and pulled away from him.

"How did you know?"

"I was at the diner this morning with Matthew."

He rolled his eyes and pressed his hands against my cheeks. I tried to move but I could not. Charles then quickly kissed my lips. Pushing him away,he hit the wall with a thud.

"Do not ever touch me again!"

Charles nodded and quickly walked away leaving me alone. I sighed and closed the door behind me after going into my dressing room. Sitting down I glanced at myself in the mirror. There were bags under my eyes and my hair was slightly a mess. What happened to me? Being a celebrity was starting to stress me out I did not know if I could take this anymore. I sat there for about 5 more minutes alone until there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I yelled looking at the door waiting for it to open.

"Hey Jessa," Callie said coming into my dressing room.

I waved and cleanse back at the mirror front of me. I really wanted to talk to her about something but I did not know what. May be about my father's funeral? The date I had with Cameron? Or the kiss?

" Are you okay?" she asked setting up her makeup supplies.

I shrugged not knowing if I really wanted to talk right now. She sighed and started to fix my slightly messy hair.

"Charles kissed me just a little while ago. We kind of "broke up" but he has a girlfriend and I like someone else," I whispered quietly.

" Just try to keep ignoring him. He just wants the attention. And I am sorry that happened but I did hear you were on a date with Cameron."

"I did but we kind of left early or something. It would have been nicer if we just stayed and not left though. Oh! I had breakfast with Matthew this morning and next week I'm going back home for my dad's funeral."

She nodded coming around to do my makeup up.I immediately closed my eyes and stayed still. After about five minutes,I felt her pull away and stop. I opened my eyes and smiled a bit.Callie smiled back and made her way back behind me.

"So did you know that Charles had a girlfriend?" I asked looking in the mirror.

"I kind of did and kind of did not.I know he had one awhile back but I did not know that he got another besides you.Well I do not real consider you being his girlfriend," she said doing my hair for the concert.

I sighed and nodded slightly not wanting her to mess up then have to start over again.She then stepped back her hands in the air.

"All done."

Standing up,I glanced over at the clock realizing I had about ten minutes until I had to go onto the stage. My eyes widened and I looked over at Callie who was packing her makeup and hair supplies.

"I only have ten minutes left.Should I go get set up real quick?" I asked

"If I were you,I would," she said looking over at me.

I nodded and quickly walked out of the dressing room going towards my sound equipment. The man was standing there waiting for me.I smiled a bit as he handed me the earbuds. I quickly put them in and gave me the microphone.

"How much longer do I have?" I asked fixing my outfit a bit.

"Five minutes.So I would suggest that you stay here and wait."

"Okay.Thank you."

The man smiled before he walked over with a wave.

"Your welcome," he said at the end of the hallway.

I smiled and glanced over at the timer.It reads three minutes and fourtyish seconds. Waiting,I sit on a chair humming. After about two minutes the boys came off the stage. Cameron sat next to me with a smile.

"Hey cutie," he said as the others walked away from us but Charles watching us.

Glaring at him until he turned around,I looked back at Cameron. He laughed a little realizing what I was doing.

"Hi handsome," I said standing up with my mic in my hand.

"Good luck and we will talk afterwards okay? I know you need too."

I nodded and glanced down for second.Waving quickly,I made my way onto the stage greeted by thousands of people.
