Floating In The Sky

Chapter 43

A new place. A new city. The foreign lands sometimes scare me to death. New people with new faces and different accents. Also with an addition of new cuisines and tastes. Prague is the place. A place which I thought to be the most beautiful places in Europe.

I look out of the window and all I see is peace. Peace within myself for months I wanted it. "Willow get ready. We have to go to Justin's concert." Kyle says as he knocks on my room's door and leaves me alone.

I sigh. I always sigh when everything is quiet and only my mind speaks for itself. I get up and close the door. I wear what it seems like a red, knee length dress. It had thin straps and was backless. Then I wore black stockings. Such an anti-weather dress. Sheesh. I top it of with a leather jacket. The jacket covered my hands. Goal achieved!

I walk out of my room wearing my outfit and boots. I looked no less than a model. Who else doesn't say they are a model?

"Justin don't stand there like a model. Stand like a singer." Kate scowls. How should I stand? In these cool jeans and leather jacket? I initially stood with hands in my pockets just like a model.

"You show me how it's done." I ask Kate. She flips her hair and walks onto the stage.

"Stand up with confidence. With passion. Like you are-"

"The king of the world" I finish her sentence.

"Yeah, now get on there."

Arm in arm. Kyle with a confident smile I with a shy smile. Or a sad smile. I shouldn't be sad. I should be happy. But now that I am living with-
"Willow, we are here." He says.

I just smile as we walk inside the hall. It was all full of lights and cheer. We sat at a table which already had two glasses of champagne. I looked at the time and the show was about to start.

In no time the lights became din and there was silence across the hall. Music bagan to play and then appeared in the middle of the stage Justin. Everyone cheered.

They all sang along to what he wrote. His music became quite popular in the past two months. He seemed quite happy.

After the show was all over everyone had head out to eat. I and Kyle also got up and Kate came to greet us. "Hello Willow and Kyle. How are you both?"

"We are fine. You?" Kyle replied.

"I am great. Where are you guys heading to?"

"Hotel, we have been travelling since morning." He lied with a loose smile.

"Oh, get some rest. Bye." And the  she left us. I sighed once again.

What's the best feeling on Earth? Sitting on a chair with a smoothie in one hand. And a pair of sunglasses on. That's right. Sitting like a boss.

"Okay, Justin. We have to head to our hotel. Tomorrow we have travelling and interviews and what not." I was ignoring what she was saying. "Justin!"

"Alright, you go I am coming after I take a walk around this place." She nodded and I got up. She went to the hotel I went to discover.

Cool winds in the air. Darkness in the sky. Stars twinkle afar. I seem poetic, don't I? Everything is quiet. I spot a club, not far from where I was. Red lights came and some music. Let's celebrate!

This club is not spacious. Everything or should I say everyone is crammed up. I make my way to the bar. Sit on a stool and look at the possibilities.

Accomplishment to myself that I slipped out of the hotel without Kyle knowing. "I need a shot!" I say to the bartender. He smiles.

The tray lays infront of me with small glasses. "Here goes nothing." I grab a glass and gulp the burning liquid down. It soon becomes an addiction and I take another one.

The music is quite loud. I fear my ears will get damaged but who cares. I dance across to the bar. Everyone is having fun.

I sat on the stool and look across the place. "One more!" A girl who was two seats away from me shouts. The voice sounded familiar. Could it be . . .nah she's too innocent. I laugh. But what if.

I look at her and only I could see her hair. She was talking to someone. He was a tough guy.

I got up and tapped on her shoulder. The guy gave me a death stare. The girl turned towards me and unexpected it was Willow. "What do you want?" She asked. I could smell the alcohol in her breath.

"Willow, this is not where you are supposed to be." I whispered.

"But Justin. Honey. This where I am supposed to be. This is my life!" She has gone bonkers. Okay why not she is drunk.

The man stands up and pulls his sleeves up. Willow also stands up. He says something in a foreign language. "I am really not in the mood of fighting, sir. But I am her husband and she shouldn't be here." I said.

"Darling, where you were? I looked for you in heaven and hell." She hugged me. The man sat down.

I took her outside the club. She looked back and waves, "Bye, tough man! I will miss you." As if she will. "Where are we going?" She says playing with my hair.

"We are going home. Where Kyle would look after you. Where you would be happy." She froze in her tracks.

"No," she said. "Willow, he will take good care of you."

"No," she insisted. "I don't want to. I never will." She rubs her eyes.

"Does he hurt you?" I ask. She shakes her head.

"I miss you, but I miss him the most. I want you to hold me till the end but I want him to carry me to the end. I want. . . I want to go home. I don't want to stay here anymore." As soon as those words left her mouth. She grabbed me by the neck and kissed me fiercly.

"Please," she said in between the kiss. I tasted the alcohol. She pulled me closer and I dont know what drove her into it. I pushed her away but she resisted.

Finally, after what seemed a long one minute she pulled away. "I want you to leave me alone."
