Come With Me: World Tour // Lady Gaga

12

I stand at side stage finishing off a bunch of schoolwork while Gaga finishes off her last concert in Europe. This one is in Nice.

I close my computer down and have a look out at Steff. The concert is just finishing up.

"Thank you so much for coming out tonight. I loved preforming for you and I can't wait to see you guys next time." She yells as a closing statement. "But before you go I want to let you know that over in Paris for the next month there is an amazing art exhibition that I am putting on. The details are on my instagram but I really hope you guys can go and check it out. The paintings are by an amazing artist named Hamich Voxen. I hope you love them.

She then runs out onto side stage.

"Come Alice, we have to fly out to Paris." Steff tells me.

"What, now."

"Yeah, that's why I did an early show, we should be able to make it by 9:00 to open the gallery." She explains.

We grab Joanne and go off straight away to catch a flight.

We arrive in Paris at 8:00.

"First we need to go see Hamish." Steff says as we hop in a car waiting for us.

We arrive at Hamish's house. Steff bites her lip before going off to talk to him.

I follow her as she knocks on the door.

He answer with a look of shock on his face as he sees Steff.

"Hamish I know we broke up but there is something I really have to show you. Please let me show you this."

He still looks at her with surprise.

"What is it?" He asks.

"It's a surprise." She says taking his hand and leading him back to the car.

We drive back to the gallery. The outside of the building still looks the same as always, but I know from first hand experience the inside looks so much different.

Steff takes Hamish's hand as she leads him up to the front of the building. I notice she hasn't changed out of the silver cocktail dress she wore for the concert.

There is a great crowd gathered at the front of the gallery. Steff addresses them with a short explanation about the gallery and what it means to both her and Hamish. She then pulls the grand doors open.

The people rush in.

I take Joanne over with me to go see Steff and have a look at the gallery myself.

"Steff the prices on these paintings are outrageous. I will never make this amount for one of my paintings." Hamish exclaims.

"Never doubt you art." Steff says, "Just wait and see."

And she was right because at the end of the night Hamish was leaving not one but two million dollars richer.

"You know." Hamish says addressing Steff, "I was wrong to leave you. Of your still happy to I would love to get back together."

Steff starts to cry. "You know I loved you. But because of what you just said I know your just a swine. You just said that you wanted me because of what I could give you, for what I had to offer. Not because of my personality. I am rally ashamed. I can't believe I ever loved you."

"I do love you for you. Just before I got scared." He says touching her shoulder.

She takes his hand off of her shoulder.

"No, you run through flames for those you love. Not leave at the sight of them. Goodbye Hamish." She yells before storming off.

I go off out of the building to find her sitting against a wall crying. I go up to her and sit beside her.

"You know Alice, I kinda wish right now that for a little while I could stop being Lady Gaga." Steff says through tears, "I just want to be Stefani for a while. So I can make actual proper friends and a boyfriend with no intentions of using me. But I suppose some people are just swines. You can try to avoid them but sometimes you just have to deal with them."
