"It wasn't love. It wasn't love. It was a Perfect Illusion." I sing, testing how it sounds.

"I like it." Sarah says as she swipes my face with the soft makeup brush.

"Do you think they will?" I ask.

"They? As in the producers?" She asks, switching from foundation to eye shadow.

"No. They as in the fans. All the monsters." I say closing my eyes for her.

"Yes Gaga! They will LOVE it! They love EVERYTHING you do! You know they have been waiting so long for you to release another album!" She says enthusiastically. I smile. 

"I hope so." I say as she finishes up my eyes.

(this is what she looks like in this chapter)

"Gaga! Gaga! Hey Gaga!" I hear a thousand people screaming at me as I walk out of the hotel

"Gaga! Gaga! Hey Gaga!" I hear a thousand people screaming at me as I walk out of the hotel. 

"GAGA CAN WE TAKE SELFIE OH MY GOD!" A fan screams and pushes their phone towards me.

"Sure, love." I reply. I take the phone and get close to the girl. We smile and I snap the selfie.

"THANK YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" She screams.

"Love you too, beautiful." I answer. I look into the crowd of monsters screaming. I smile. My smile fades as I see someone very familiar walking across the street. He doesn't see me, but I can see his confusion as to what the screaming and the crowd is for.

"Leo......" I whisper under my breath.

"What?" Sarah asks as she walks alongside me to the car.

"N-nothing I just...I.....I have to...I need someone to..." I can't think straight, I can't speak, I can't breathe!

"Stef...what's going on?" She asks, concerned. She grabs my hand and turns my head toward hers. She looks me straight in the eyes.

"It's not me....It's that man....we have to-we have to get to him..." I say.

"Why? Who is that?" She looks in the direction I am looking and I can see him stopped at the edge of the street, waiting to cross the road. He is talking on the phone.

"It's just...It's important. We have to get to him. Please Sarah...Please it's important." I beg, tears are starting to form in my eyes. 

"Gaga whats wrong?" Frederic asks, walking up to Sarah and I from behind. 

"She wants to get to that guy over there. She won't say why but she says it's important." Sarah explains. I nod in agreement but I'm at a loss for words.

"Well what Gaga wants, Gaga gets. Lets make this happen." Frederic squeezes my arm and smiles, he then starts to look around. "Peter! Peter!" He yells for Peter, my bodyguard.

"I'm here. What is it?" He asks, walking up to Frederic. 

"Gaga says we need to get to that man right over there. The one talking on the phone by the edge of the street." He points.

"Okay. I can make that happen." Peter smiles and then turns to look at the sea of fans in our way. "HEY EVERYONE MAKE WAY FOR GAGA! WE NEED TO GET THROUGH! PLEASE MAKE A PATH!" he yells.

Everyone starts to part like the red sea and soon we have a path. Sarah grabs my hand and leads me toward Leo. I don't know what I am going to say when we get to him. All I know is I need to see him and talk to him about the girls. 

We get closer. His back is turned. He hangs his phone up. That's my chance. 

I let go of Sarah and I start to slowly walk toward him. He is looking down at his phone. 

"E-excuse me..." I say shakily as I tap him on the shoulder. 

"Can I help yo-" He turns around and he stops mid sentence. His eyes get so wide I feel like they are going to pop out of his skull. 

"Hi Leonardo." I say, letting a single tear roll down my cheek.

His hands are shaking as he reaches out to wipe my tear. "Stefani..."
