On Tour With BTR & Austin Mahone

Chapter 2

Alex wasn't answering her Phone. Even better. I smashed my cellphone on my bed and started crying with my head in my pillow. How could they do this to me? It seems to me that they don't even care about my feelings. Maybe I should run away. James is their perfect child, it's not that they would miss me. I tried calling Alex again, but I kept getting her voicemail. I gave up and cried even more. Aparantly nobody would miss me if I would dissappear. My life's a mess. I have parents who don't support me in my dreams which they do with their son and stupid people who laugh at my dancing. Maybe they're right. Maybe they're all right. Maybe I am a loser that ends up as a lawyer. My thoughts were broken by someone knocking on my door.

"- Leave me alone!" The person was deaf cause he/she came into my room, my private space.

"- Chlo...

- Leave me alone! Especially you!" It was James. My older brother that I trusted blind and that knew about my dream. And he cheated on me.

"- Chlo... I swear to God, I didn't know.

- Oh, so they just decided that I have to go with you and you and those 3 other dorks all agreed on that moment?" I said sarcastically.

"- No. I knew you would come, but they told me and the guys that you had been begging to come with us. I had no idea that they were forcing you." He seemed sincere.

"- You know I would never do that. You know how important my dancing is for me. You know how much I want that scolarship.

- I know. But you also know how convincing mom can be.

- Yeah. Look James, you're my brother and I love you so much and I would love to go on tour with you if I wasn't aiming for that scolarship.

- But you have no choice. Everything is set up. The teacher that will come, who you will share a bus with... And besides, mom is going to put you on that bus herself, so that's she's sure that you are on there.

- She just doesn't care about me.

- That's not true.

- It is! You can be famous and all you want and I have to be what she wants me to be. I can't chase my dream like you do! Just because you are the perfect son and I'm her little slave." I cried again.

"- And don't say that it's not true, cause you know it is.

- Mom and dad just want what's best for you.

- But for you they want that too and you can do whatever you want.

- Okay, maybe. But look at the bright sight of this: the 5 months you are on tour with us, you are not with mom and dad. You are free to do whatever you want." He was right.

"- But I'll have to miss Alex.

- Look, tomorrow it's Saturday, no school for you. We have a tour meeting tomorrow, you can come with me. That way you can meet the opening act and I can propose that Alex comes with you.

- Really? You would do that for me?

- Of course I will. I don't like to see my little sister sad.

- Wait... meeting the opening act... Who is it?

- You'll have to wait and see!

- Please tell me!

- Nope. I'm going down for dinner. Are you coming?

- No, I'm not hungry.

- Okay." He closed the door behind him and I started fantasize who would be the opening act.

{ The next day }

I was waiting for James to come pick me up for the meeting. I still hadn't spoke to my parents yet and I wasn't planning on doing it soon. I'm still pissed about the fact that I'll be stuck on a tour bus with four dorks. I've met the other ones only 3 times or something, but everytime they were acting like idiots. Including James. And the worst part about it: there are no girlfriends coming because Halston has to work and Carlos and Alexa broke up. So I'm the only girl. I'm praying that the opening act is female.

I heard a car stop in front of our house and I got up immediately. I was so fast that James didn't even had the chance to get out of his car. He drove us to the studios, where the meeting would have place. I was a bit nervous, I hadn't done this before.

We walked into a room where a big screen was hanging in front and seats behinds it. Like a cinema. James and I were late, so we took a seat at the front, I didn't had the time to look around and see who the opening act was. They started immediately.

"- Hello everyone. Welcome to the last meeting before tour. I'm going to go over the details and if there are any questions, feel free to ask me after the slide-show." It was their manager speaking. I've met him once and he seemed like a nice guy.

"- So, as you all know by now, the little sister of James will be joining us this tour, because she asked so nicely.

- Because my mom forced me." I mumbled to myself.

"- She will be sharing a bus with her older brother and Carlos and the dogs." Fox! I totally forgot about that little guy.

"- Logan and Kendall will share one as Always. The opening act will have his own bus." Great it's a he. Now I'm stuck with 5 dorks!

"- So, tomorrow will be a last rehearsal before tour. We'll start with Austin doing his songs and Big Time Rush performing after." Austin?

"- Austin Mahone is your opening act?" I whispered to James.

"- Jup." Great. Even better! Not that I don't like him or his music, I've never met him before. To be honest... I might even be a little bit of a Mahomie... But he's 17, he must be dorky, all 17 year old boys are dorky! Now it's official, I will be the only girl in between 5 dorks. Let's pray that they allow Alex to come.

"- Because Austin isn't eighteen yet, his mother is coming with him as his guardian, because it would be illegal if she wasn't coming." Yes, thank God, another woman.

The man told us a bit more stuff about the whole happening and than we got some free time. James went talking to him, to ask if it was okay if Alex would come. I was just standing there and watching around the room when Austin came over to me.

"- Hey, you must be James his younger sister.

- Yeah, hi. I'm Chloe.

- I'm Austin, the opening act.

- I know who you are. I'm a fan of your music." I smiled a bit nervous to him.

"- Always great to hear.

- Maybe this will sound weird to you and please don't tell my brother, but I think it would be more... I don't know... applicable if Big Time Rush was opening for you... I mean, I think you are more famous than them." Why am I telling all this bullshit? Stupid nerves!

"- I get what you mean. But I love touring with them. This is my chance to see the world, it's my dream. I'm still not famous enough to do that on my own. And besides, Big Time Rush is good company, they are always fun.

- Yeah..." I rolled my eyes.

"- But it seems you dissagree.

- Sort of. I've only been with them 4 for about 3 times but it were 3 times with 4 dorks." I made Austin laugh.

"- Alright. So now you've got yourself a fifth dork!" I laughed with his joke, but deep inside I was cursing my mom for doing this.

"- Chloe, are you coming?" James called me with him.

"- I guess I got to go. Nice meeting you.

- Nice to meet you too." I shook his hand after saying goodbye. These are going to be rough 5 months.
