Love and Other Trouble {Shannon Leto}

chapter 15

Although I was just background artist, i loved to share the experience of the tour and shows. Whenever I had the chance, i took a photo and shared it on social media, sometimes I even could take a photo of the whole band.

We were on the airplane on our way to Sweden. I was bored and took a selfie. As soon as we were back on the ground again and out of the airport, I posted the photo.

@KaylaZyder: Just landed in Sweden! Let's get the party started! #30secondstomars #sweden #LoveLustFaithAndDreams #LLFD

It doesn't even took a minute before my followers liked and commented the picture. Although I wasn't in the spotlight like Jared, Tomo and Shannon, I had a big amount of followers, even some haters. Like i knew it, my favorite Hater commented the picture.
@SwedenGHY0: You suck Kayla! You aren't worth it to be on tour with #30secondstomars Your only ability is to annoy the #Echelon and not to play instruments!
Oh yes, i loved her. That's actually also everything i knew about my hater. She was a girl, maybe 20 years old and luckily from Sweden, so she had the chance to tell me what she thinks of me right in my face. I had to chuckle about this stupid comment and Jared noticed it. "What's so funny Kay?" "Oh my favorite Hater comments my pictures." "Again?" "Yop." Jared was the only one, who new about her. "What's wrong this time?" "My only ability is to annoy the fans." I laughed. "Oh my god, this is childish." "Ah let her talk Jay. I'm grown up, i stand over the haters." "I know, but it's still not nice." "Let her talk." I smiled. "Isn't she from Sweden?" "Yes, maybe she has the balls to say the things to my face." I laughed, i knew she wouldn't.

Half way through the concert, i was sweating as fuck. Stevie was still at home so I had still to play and sing his part too. While Jared talked to the audience, i took my chance to drink. I emptied the whole bottle and went back to my spot. I prepared myself as I heard my name. I turned around and faced Shannon. He pointed to the audience in front of the stage. "You saw that?" A huge neon yellow sign was held up high. "Kayla sux! Quit playing!" I laughed. Could it be my hater? Just thinking about it made me laugh more. "Someone hates you!" "Oh shut up, everybody loves me." Shannon and i laughed more and more. Jared came to me to grab his guitar, which stood next to me. "What are you laughing about?" "Haven't seen the yellow sign huh?" I giggled. Jared turned around and shook his head. "Could it be her?" "Maybe." I shrugged it off. Jared made his way back to the edge, putting the mic to his lips. "Are you ready to get crazy?!" He yelled and the crowd answered screaming yes. "But before we start the next song i have to say something." I looked over to Shannon, but he shrugged his shoulders. "We love our family, the echelon. And so I hope you love us. Each one of us, no matter if it's Tim, Shannon, Stevie, Tomo, Kayla or me. I don't want to disgrace anyone of you, but saying that Kayla shall quit her job isn't nice." My jaw dropped. I could fight for my own, and if i wanted the haters to know that they piss me off i would tell them, but they didn't. Obviously the one with the sign pointed at itself. "Yes you! That's not nice. Kayla is a part of the band, the family and also of the echelon. What are you thinking to say this?" The crowd booed loud. Chants of "Kayla, we love you" echoed in the arena at the same time. "C'mon Guys, she's also a human being." I blushed, i never asked him to do that. "Kayla?" I looked up at Jared in embarrassment. "Come over to me babygirl." I shook my head no. Could this get any more embarrassing?! "C'mon, usually you're not that shy." He laughed. I nodded and put the wire of the guitar away. I walked over to him and he laid his arm around my shoulders. "Look at her. Isn't she beautiful? Yeeees she is! And she's a very nice girl. So why are you hating her?" The girl down in the crowd said something i couldn't understand. "What? She can't play drums?" The girl nodded. "Are you the girl that always comments her pix?" She nodded again. I burst out in laugher. "Oh i hoped i would see you. I hope you feel uncomfortable now. What you are doing in social media is mean and abusive." The audience screamed "say sorry" and the girl did! She really said sorry! I couldn't believe it!
