Come With Me: World Tour // Lady Gaga

15

I was putting extra effort into my look today. Because today I was going to see Nate as myself for the first time. I was going to pick him up from the movies and then see where it went from there. We would decide together what we wanted to do. He ended up flying over in first class.

Steff took me down to the airport to see him. I was a bit put off because of the way he acted on the phone call.

I spotted him and walked over to him. I taped him on the shoulder. He looked around but I could tell he didn't recognise me because the first time I saw him he was in disguise.

"It's me Alice." I say.

"Oh right." He says surprised. "Wow you look. Just beautiful really." He says. I smile.

"You look pretty nice yourself."

We go head back off into the car. "So what do you want to do?" I ask.

"Can we go shopping?" He asks. This request seems very out of character.

"Yeah sure." I say giving him a confused look.

We drive over a shopping mall.

"Lady Gaga do you think you could take a photo with me." Nate asks Steff as we pull up at the shops.

"Yeah sure." She says. "Alice do you want to come in."

We stand together to take a photo. Just before she takes it Nate leans in and kisses her on the lips. He then takes me off.

"What was that?" I ask a little annoyed as we walk away.

"It will look great to my friends back home to show them I kissed Lady Gaga." He says.

"Oh my gosh. Seriously. Honestly just." I say. I can't believe he kissed my mum just because. That is not a friend move.

"Hey look at those shoes." He says nudging me. "It would be amazing if you bought them for me."

"I don't know." I say, "They are really expensive, they're not even that great." I say.

"Yeah but imagine what my friends would think about me if I wore them." He says.

"Why do you even care what they think about you. Even if you wear those shoes your still the same person." I say

"Come on Alice I know you can afford them." He says.

"Okay that's it." I say getting really angry. "I'm sorry you had to fly out here but I'm going to have to ask you to go back home now. Before you knew who I was you were actually a really nice person. But as soon as you found out who I was you just started acting like a total jerk. I'm sorry but I can't hang out with you anymore."

"Calm down Alice it's just a pair of shoes." He says.

"No Nate you calm down. It's not okay to treat me like a bag of money. I'm sorry but you have to go back."

"Of course because you only know what it's like to wear nice shoes. You don't know what it's like to have to wear cheap brands while all of your friends are wearing good brands." He says.

"You know what. Before I met Steff I had just about no money. Yeah I know what it's like to not have nice shoes because I had one pair of $10 shoes from K-mart. I barely had enough money to have dinner most nights. But I knew that that didn't change the person I was."

He didn't answer as I rang up Steff and asked her to come and pick us up.

We waited in an awkward silence until she came.

"I'm sorry Alice." He said "I shouldn't have used you."

"Yeah I'm sorry too. I wish it could have worked out." I say.

"Maybe it can. I'll stop now. I wont try to make you buy me stuff. I just got exited." He says, I feel bad because I can tell from his tone of voice that he really is sorry.

"It's too late." I whisper.

"Steff come and I go speak to her privately."

"What happened?" She asks.

"Can we please send him back to Paris." I say.

"So things didn't work out?"

"Do you think it's actually possible that we will ever find anyone who doesn't just want us because of the money, or because of who we are?" I ask.

"Oh baby." She says pulling me in for a hug. "There is someone out there. You just have to search a little harder before you find them."

We go back over to Nate and drive him back to the airport. I feel bad he had to fly out all of this way for nothing so I let him fly first class.

"You know mum there is one more thing I want to do." I say

"What's that?"

"Can we buy a pair of shoes and send them to him please."

"Sure."
