I Know a Place

Blue Eyed Beauty

--The past--
"Mom when I grow up I want to be a superstar" a five year old girl says to her mother. "Cari you can be whatever you want, as long as this is what your heart wants then be who you want to be. I will always love you no matter what" the mother says as she speaks to her little daughter. "Thank you mommy. I love you" the little girl hugs her mom and starts to sing whatever songs that come in her mind. "You sing beautiful my little angel" her mother says and joins her. The little squeals and continues performing in front of her mother. From that day that's all the little girl wanted. To stand in front of a stage and perform.

--15 years later--
Cari pov:
"Fletcher!!! Fletcher!" Fans scream my name as I leave the stage. "I love you guys all so much. Thank you, tonight was great!" I yell back as I'm rushed into the car. "That was a great show" my manager john says as he's looking a at his phone. "Yeah you did great fletch" my best friend Alex adds and pats me on the shoulder. "Yeah. A couple more shows and I'm finish with this tour" I lean against my window very tired from my LA show. "So there's this party some of our friends are throwing, do you want to go?" Alex asks and I shake my head no. "Nah I'll pass. I think I'm just gonna stay in the hotel room" I say and she nods. "Well if you change your mind the party is at carters house" she says and I tiredly nod my head. We get back to the hotel and there's screaming fans outside of it waiting till I get out of the car. My security teams walks in front and Alex them walks in the back. My room is on the top floor and still they find where my room is. They're sweet and all but I find it crazy that they know where I am. Once I get into my room I fall face first into my bed. "See you later fletch" my friends say and leave me alone in my room. It's only 9pm on a Saturday night and I am dead tired. I fall asleep to the thought of my small show at a bar called the abbey.

-2 hours later-
*Ring Ring* what the hell? I look at my phone to see Alex calling. I pick it up and all I hear is laughing.
F: ALEX!!!
A: Yo Cari how's it going?
She sounds drunk.
F: I'm good. Are you still at carters house?
A: Yeah.
F: Stay there I'm coming to pick you up. Where's John?
A: Dancing with carter.
F: Just sit down and wait.
A: Byyyeeeeeee!
She hangs up and I put on a hoodie and glasses. I go outside and my security walks me out. We get into the car and drives to carters house. When we get there the house is a little crowded but not too crowded that my securities have to follow me. I walk into see couple of old friends and just some new faces. I walk through the house looking for Alex but then I trip over something on the floor and almost fall. I'm in someone's arms and once you notice I'm facing a blue eyed beauty. "You okay, love?" The girl says and I nod my head. "Yeah. Thanks for catching me" I say still in her arms. "No problem. Didn't want a girl like you fall on that beautiful face of yours" the girl says and I feel my face heat up. "I'm Cari Fletcher" I say and hold out my hand. "I know, you're kinda famous. But I'm Shannon. Shannon beveridge" she says and shakes my hand. "Well it's nice meeting you Shannon. But have you seen a girl named Alex around here?" I ask and she nods. "Pappicio? The hella funny one. She's upstairs sleeping" she says and grabs my hand to lead me to her. We get into the room and see her knocked out holding John. "Well at least she's okay" I say and look at Shannon again. "So what now?" She asks and I shrug. "Do you wanna drink or something?" She adds and I shake my head. "I got another show tomorrow at the abbey. I think I should go back to my hotel" I say and she nods. "I'll walk you out" and again she holds my hand and leads me outside to my car. "Maybe I'll see you soon?" I question. "Sooner than you think" she says and kisses my cheek. The car starts to drive away and I can't stop thinking about her. Shannons blue eyes and soft hands. How she made me feel inside when she'd compliment me and showed me she cared. But I'm not falling for a girl. No, I'm straight.

Next day
"Cari wake up!" Alex yells at me while I seem to be lying on the floor. "Dude what happened to you?" She asks and I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know. When I came back to the hotel I must've just knocked out on the floor" I say and she laughs at me. "Wait where did you go?" She asks. "I went to get you but you were already knocked out on carters bed. This Shannon girl helped me look for you" I say rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "Oh you met Shannon. She's super cool and beautiful. You should invite her to your show" she says and I shake my head no. "That's weird. I just met this girl and why would I want to invite her?" I ask and she shrugs. "Maybe you can meet a friend to tolerate your attitude. Plus I'm not trying to hook you up with her. You're straight and she's gay with a girlfriend" she says and I'm kinda disappointed for some reason. "Alex what time is it?" I ask and she looks at her watch. "4 in the afternoon" she says and I jump up from the floor. "My show is in two hours. Why'd you only wake me up now?" I ask and she shrugs. "You looked cute with your mouth hanging open and drool coming down like a waterfall" she laughs and leaves my room. Uggghhh I have to get ready.
