The popstar

Chapter 2

"What was that?" Rey asks as she puts her seatbelt on.

"I was saving you from articles in papers with your face on!"

"He came for you!" She yelled. Poe continues driving and Finn looks at me making a no... face. Why? Poe has still a crush on me. "He is a polstar and he already has a girlfriend in Mexic, Rey, so stop it!" I yell and let my head fall on my knees. I am such a dumbass.

The trip is quiet from now on. We pass some traffic lights and some streets. It's late and I'm not sleepy at all. I should be considering that I danced all the afternoon and night. The van finnaly stops and the others get out. Only me and Poe remain in the car. I sit in the place on his right. He looks ahead and I look too. "I wouldn't have had a chanse with you anyway." "Poe..." He faces me now. "I have this stupid crush on you since 9th grade and you never thought of me more than a friend!" "Poe, that's not-" "Not true? I dedicated a song for you and you thought I did it for a movie!" "Poe, stop i-" And I've been cut off by his lips pressing on mine. I kissed him back. I've never imagined my first kiss like this, I would have imagined it with a bench on the edge of a lake with a beautiful sunset, but life is not always what you dream. Poe backs and looks into my eyes. I look too, my heart melting at his watery eyes. He gets out. "Poe!" I yell and also get out, but he already entered his house living me alone on the street. I turn back to see Rey and Finn looking at me. Tears start suddenly falling down my cheeks. "Jyn..." Rey says and comes to me and pulls me into one of her tight hugs. I hug her back and cry into her shoulder. "Why do I keep hurting him?" I say between sobs. Rey runs her hand up amd down my back to comfort me.

It's noon. Rey opens my door and comes to my bed. "Do you want to go?" "I'm sorry, Rey, but I don't feel like coming today." "No problem. Come here." She says and hugs me. "Go with Finn. He will probably thank you." I say and back from her. "Yeah, see you later." She says and goes to the door. "Bye." I say and she closes it. I get my laptop out to watch a movie online or something like this. My phone beeps and I see a message from instagram. I put my password in and click on the app. At the dm message I have two new ones, both from the same person. I look at the name again. It can't be him. But he still is. It's Cassian.

Hey
You comin tonight?

I wasn't ready for this. First, how did he find my account. Second, why does he come and ask me this shit? Third, where the hell he thinks he is. For fuck's sake, it's Romania!

I'm sorry, I think you got the account wrong.

No, I didn't. You're the girl that I ran to last night.

How did you find me?

Your Resistemce page on instagram, then your tags.

Why do you even care of me comin to your show tonight?

Because I just felt it was polite to ask.

Just go ask your girlfriend in Mexic and live me alone, ok? I'm in a bad mood.

What, for this?

And he send an image. It's me and Poe kissing. WHAT HOW?

From where did you take it?!?

Be more carefull with reporters. See you tonight.

What? I'm not coming!

Well I don't know I heard your boyfriend needs you in his song.

I close the phone and calm myself. This isn't real, maiby it's from too much Cola, this isn't real. I open my eyes. Someone knocks on my door. "Yeah?" "Jyn," Poe says as he enters "would you want to sing a song with me tonight?" How did Cassian even know? "Poe, I would love to, but I don't have a good voice." "Come." He says as he extends his hand. "Trust me." He says and I take it. He takes me to his garage where all the instrument are. He takes his guitar and looks at me. "Say a song you know." "Poe, I will sound ho-" "Just say one." He says and looks at me. "Shakira Try everything." "Chore at 3. One two." "I won't give up, no I won't give in till I reach the end and then I'll start again. No I won't leave, I wanna try everything I wanna try even tho I could fail." "Okay, listen." He says and takes his phone. "You were recording me?" I ask. He laughs and makes me a sign to shut up. The recording plays and I gasp at my voice. "Now get ready, Jyn. The concert starts in 3 hours." He says and smiles.
