Living with Fame (victoria justice's daughter's story)

Chapter 29: Pre-Concert Troubles

Emily's POV:

It was the day of the concert. I was so excited.

"Emily!" Jasmine called. "Victoria said we have to get dressed now because we're leaving soon."

Jasmine was over at my house, we were getting ready and going there together.

"Yeah, okay. Let's go to my room then." I waved her after me and we ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. Our outfits were already laid out on my bed as we had just went shopping the past day.

I was going to wear jean shorts, a long graphic t-shirt that said "Keep Calm and Rock on" and a jean vest that were cut at the shoulders. I brushed my long blonde hair and let it drape naturally.

Jasmine on the other hand was going to wear a long peach dress that had frills on it and her auburn hair was in a fish-tail braid.

As soon as we were dressed, Victoria called us down. You see Max and Victoria were coming, they got free tickets too.

"Well look at you beautiful ladies." Max complimented. "Shall we take a picture?"

Jasmine blushed while I smiled and we posed for the camera. Victoria got in too after a few takes and stood behind us.

The doorbell rang in the middle of one the pictures and Victoria excused herself quickly. We followed her to the front, curious as of who was there. 

"Ryan!" Victoria greeted excitedly. The male stepped in and I took him in. He was tall, very built and muscular and looked about 30. 

"Victoria!" He embraced her into a huge bear hug and then looked at her. "It's been a while." 

"Too soon." She frowned and then turned around to us. "Guys, this is Ryan, our new bodyguard." 

I stared at her in shock, what? Since when was this planned? I glanced over at Max and even he looked confused.

Victoria realized our puzzled faces and explained. "Ever since the fan attack, I've been looking for a personal bodyguard, one to travel and go places with us. I searched everywhere to find the perfect one but then realized that I was forgetting something. Ryan had promised if I ever needed a bodyguard he would be mine. You see we met on the set of Zoey 101, while he was working as security a couple years back and we became really close. Near the end of the show, he quit his job and became a bodyguard. We kept in touch and now ta-da! He's coming with us to the concert." 

Surprisingly Jasmine was the first one to say anything. "Well nice to meet you! I'm Jasmine." 

Ryan smiled and shook her hand. "It's nice meeting you Jasmine." 

I felt awkward just standing there so I was the next to speak up. "I'm Emily." I said a bit shyly. I held out my wavering hand for him to shake. I wasn't comfortable with a lot of men because of my past. 

He smiled softly at me and gently took my hand, shaking it. "I've heard so much about you." 

Finally it was Max's turn. He stepped away from his place behind me and firmly shook Ryan's hand. "I'm Max, Victoria's boyfriend."

The air suddenly became thick and tension broke out. I could tell things between Max and Ryan were going to be awkward for a while. Luckily Victoria broke the silence and we all got ready to go. 

After that, the limo pulled up and we got in. Jasmine was amazed with the whole thing. I guess she never been in one. 

"It's so big in here." She gushed. "And look! There's even a TV!"
