When You Fish Upon A Star

Read All About It

Jordan's POV

I hit play like Desi told me and I see Bryce pop up on the screen. I look at Desi and she says to keep watching. Bryce starts talking:

"Hey guys. If you are new to the channel, my name is Bryce Stryker. As some of you know, I look differently than I usually do. I recently was given the great opportunity to be in an upcoming Disney movie and you guys know that it is my dream. We were 80% done filming when something happened. I experienced something that I can only describe in singing. This song is for the person that caused this. I hope this what you "fished" for. Here is my cover of Read All About It by Emeli Sande."

I freeze. What did I do? That was Bryce I heard drop the coffee. God I am an idiot. I look at Desi and she just shakes her head.

"Oh, Jordan. What did you do to that poor child?" I reply, "Why do you think this is about me?" Desi laughs and says, "Anybody that knows you two knows he is talking about you. Now tell me what happened." As I am about to tell her, I hear Bryce start singing. You can see in his eyes how much he is hurting. He can barely get through the song without getting choked up.

I thought at the audition he sounded beautiful. However, this song was a masterpiece and disaster at the same time. It was amazing but I felt guilty for being the reason why he is the way he is. The song ends and Bryce comes back on the screen.

"Thank you for listening. Now to tell you what is going to happen. Because of what I went through, I have decided to take a break from the movie and YouTube. I will still be on social media, but I will have my comments disabled and will only talk to my close friends. As for my future on the Flash, I will still be on there. Contrary to what someone said, I am more than just someone they work with. They have helped me these past 24 hours.

I want to thank the director of the project for understanding where I am coming from and allowing me to regroup. I want to thank my friends and brother for helping me see that I am worthy of love and do not need a guy to make me happy. I want to thank the person who hurt me. I hope you can forgive yourself and learn from this. I do wish you nothing but the best. Lastly, I want to thank my fans for being there for me. You guys are the reason why I have not completely given up on myself. This is not a goodbye, but a see you later. Love you guys and I will see you later. Peace."

Desi closes the laptop and leaves the room. I sit there wondering how I could be so stupid. Because I was too scared to admit my feelings, I lost the best thing that ever happened to me and I have no one to go to. I am glad we have a couple of months off of filming because I don't know if I could go back right now.

Two Weeks Later

I'm sitting in my room grieving about Bryce when I get an email from Desi. It says, "Jordan, we would be honored to be on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars. If you say yes, training starts in two weeks. Hope you say yes. See you soon." I text Desi to say yes because I need something to take my mind off of Bryce. I scroll through Bryce's social media to see him and Liv traveling the world having the best time and hold on. Is that Bryce and Colton holding hands? When did this happen? I turn off my phone and just think, "I wish that was me with Bryce."

I finally meet Lindsay, my dance partner, and I'm so excited. I am a huge fan of hers. We have been practicing and it is going smoothly. We are at GMA to tell the world I am competing as well as find out who is competing. We find out Derek Fisher, Lindsey Sterling, Terrell Owens, Nikki Bella, Drew Scott, Frankie Muniz, Nick and Vanessa Lachey, Victoria Arlen, Barbara Cocoran, Sasha Pieterse, and Debbie Gibson.

Tom Bergeron says, "This season we have something never done before. A mystery fourteenth dance couple that won't be revealed until they dance on Premiere Night. No one but the couple and the executive producer know who it is."

Erin Andrews adds, "Although we don't know who they are, we have been told that this person is a force to be reckoned with and is sure to shake up this ballroom."

I wonder who this fourteenth dancer is. I hope I get along with them. It would be nice to have another male celebrity here. I cannot wait to find out.
