Hopeless Romantic

The Lucky One

1/14/11

Miranda sighed softly to herself as she sat backstage in her dressing room at the Staples Center. The venue where she'd be performing her last show of her third tour.

The nerves already settling inside of her bones. Regardless of how many times she had done this before. Every night she went on stage it was just always the same with a repeat of her being a mess each and every hour up until showtime and then killing it during the concert.

Then again of course she was bias when it came to herself and how she did in concert. She was allowed that she was sure of that much.

"Hey Randa," Prue's voice sounded as she walked into the dressing room. Her arms full of takeout boxes from a local Chinese food place. "Have you heard who is coming to the show tonight?"

"You mean besides you?" Miranda questioned as she quirked her eyebrow. Looking at the girl who had been her best friend since seventh grade in middle school. When they had bonded over how much they hated the head cheerleader. Mainly because she was dating the boy they both had a mutual crush on.

But their crush on him evaporated once they had realized how much of an asshole he had been.

Prue let out a sarcastic laugh as she walked to a table in the room, sitting the take out boxes down. "Yeah I mean besides me," she retorted with a roll of her eyes. "I mean a fucking celebrity."

Miranda was the one laughing now, "Celebs come to my Los Angeles show every tour," she shrugged knowing them coming here gave them much needed press. "Why would I care about someone who just needs press for something?"

"Because this guy is someone you used to have a celeb crush on back in the day," Prue shrugged as she grabbed two boxes before walking to the couch where Miranda sat. "It's Taylor Hanson," she revealed and yeah maybe Miranda cared now.

Because back in the day she had the biggest celebrity crush on him. Had even daydreamed about marrying him like every other girl on the planet.

Dreams that ended when Taylor had gotten married to some southern girl in his teen years. Though they had divorced two years after the wedding when it was revealed Taylor hadn't been the father of the baby that was the reason they got married.

But of course by then Miranda was out of her Hanson phase and now well here she was a celebrity in her own right. A celebrity who had a boyfriend named Nick.

Nick who was somewhere in California today but not here at the venue yet. Maybe wouldn't even show up because he claimed he was busy with his own stuff. He was a model after all and had stuff he had to do.

The pitfalls of dating someone in the entertainment business too.

"I knew it," Prue spoke in Miranda's silence sounding so gleeful. "You're excited at the prospect of Taylor being at the show tonight aren't you?"

Blushing Miranda looked at Prue wanting to lie but Prue was her best friend. Prue knew her so well and she'd know if Miranda lied.

Miranda nodded her head slowly as she felt herself grin, "Just a bit," she admitted. "But I think I'm also more shocked. What are the odds my childhood crush is actually coming to see me in concert?" she asked trying to wrap her head around that.

But it was a hard concept to wrap her head around.

"Why wouldn't he come?" Prue asked like it was a no brainer. "You're awesome and you're about to start work on a fourth album soon. You sell out tours. Anyone would be stupid not to come and see you, even Taylor fucking Hanson."

Rolling her eyes Miranda only shook her head. Not sure if she believed she were that awesome. Especially when most of the celebs who came to see her only did so for their own fame and press. To get stories in the media and it wasn't nice being used.
