Kourtney's POV

One Day Earlier

I smile as I wake up and get out of bed. I put on my best punk rock clothes. Black skinny leather pants and black combat boots. Looking in the mirror I realize I look more like an emo than a punk. I sighas I take off my clothes and start over again. As I'm looking through my closet for some good punk clothes I hear a voice call out from outside the door. "Two hours till the concert get up ho." I shake my head.

"Who you calling ho, ho!" I reply. No answer. I hate the concert people. IX in my room and go backstage where I see Amy waiting. Soon Gigi comes in and I think she has a hangover. We wait for Amber to come but I think I'll be a while since she's a little bit of a druggie. Oh the shame. Can she be a good Christian and go to Church. Soon she comes in and we don't say anything. We came out but as usual because of some people in the group it's absolutely horrible.

Holy moly now our new agent Jack is hitting on Amy! Oh no! Amy runs off and I go off after her, She needs some support. We go to her room and I hug her. "Amy it's going to be okay you can get through this." I say. She just crys more.

"I need to go to the bathroom to wash my face." She says as she gets up. I nod. I hear a vibrating noise and as I look around I realize it's Amy's phone. I pick it up just to see who it was. "Oh my gosh it's Peter!" I say out loud. Shoot! I don't hear anything. When Amy went to Peter at the club she thought I was too drunk to comprehend it. But I remembered and I kept it a secret. I look at the phone again and see what he sent. It's a picture of him and a girl. It says, Miss you babe! But I'm having fun at our old town! I look at other pictures he sent and quickly see that that girl is in all of them.

Oh no Amy must feel bad and think that he might be cheating! I look at his instagram. He posed with a picture of her. The caption said, New GF? JK. I look at it in shock. Why would he make jokes about this? "What are you doing?" I turn around and see Amy behind me. She looks at her phone and see the pic I'm looking at. She sighs. "Well I couldn't keep it a secret forever." She sits down on the bed next to me. "I have a boyfriend Peter and I think he might be cheating on me." She looks at me. "Am I being paranoid?"

"Of course you are! Come on he's joking!" I say but don't believe it. She nods.

"But if he is should I cheat too to get back at him? Like with Jack?" I shake my head.

"You should never cheat, that is not the Christian way." I say. "So come on let's go." She stays put. I sigh and leave her. As I go to my room I bump into a man. "Oh sorry." I say. I look up at him and see that he is so very handsome. Oh stop it Kourtney. Your Christian wait for marriage.

"Oh no it's my fault, I was in a hurry to get things ready for the concert

"Oh no it's my fault, I was in a hurry to get things ready for the concert. My name is Talib. What's yours?" He says to me. Talib? That sounds like a Muslim name.

"Are you a Sunni or a Shiite?" I say to him. He looks taken back.

"How did you know I'm Muslim?" He says. I smirk. "Cause your brown." I reply. He nods agreeing with this.

"Well I'm a Sunni. I'm not a terrorist Shiite." He feels pretty strongly about this. I nod. We stand awkwardly before he asks me, "So you want to go out sometime?" I scoff. What a fricking slut! I slap him and punch him in the balls before I walk off. I lay in bed before the concert.

Maybe I should go out with him. I need something to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's the day after Brandon yelled at us. We are all in the plane headed to India. It's awkward and silent. We don't say anything the whole time. We know we messed up.

The plane lands and we all get out. I sniff the air and smell weed. I head over to Amber. "Amber!" I say. "Are you bringing weed?!" She looks at me funny.

"No it wasn't me. I smell it too. I think someone took my stash." She gets angry and walks away. Who is it then? Maybe one of the sound people. They look like real hippies. We go to the limo  and climb in. Gigi looks for the drinks but they are none.

"Where are the drinks?" She says to us angrily. We look to each other. Finally Amy starts talking.

"We took them. We think you need to slow down. It's only 9 in the morning." Gigi looks at her and slaps her and exits the door. We all are silent. "I think she needs to go to rehab." Amy says. We nod.

We go into the concert hall and go to our own rooms. As I go to mine I see Talib. I walk up to him. "Now before you punch me in the balls let me just say that we can just be friends." He says. I smile and nod. I go to walk into my room when I see that Amber's room door is open. I go in and see Amy on the floor with Ambers weed!

"Amy!" I say. "What are you doing with the weed!" She looks at me.

"You know, getting high!" She whoops and starts dancing. All of a sudden I know who was high in the airport. I wonder how long she's been doing this. As if reading my mind she says, "Been two days! And I think I'm addicted!"

I shake my head. "Amy you are a druggie whore! Kys!" As I run away I hear Amy say, "Whatever dude! I'm a have a threesome tonight!" I keep running now crying. I've never told anybody to kys, I feel as if I betrayed God. In my room I go down in my knees and start praying.

Today I ask forgiveness of all the negative and harmful words I have spoken about myself. I do not want to abuse myself in such a way again. Transform my thoughts and let me understand how marvelously you made me. Change my habits so I use my tongue to speak hope and favor upon my life. In Jesus' name.

I do the cross sign over my chest and hold my cross really tight. As I finish I feel tears on my face. I just love Jesus so much. "Why are you crying?" I turn around and see Talib.

"I said something bad and have so many secrets to keep so I'm praying to God to forgive me." I says back. He nods.

"Can I join?" He asks me. I nod excitedly. This will help me in my dream to become a missionary! We sit and pray.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I go to the concert stage to preform I go to get the girls. As I walk to Gigis room I hear her and Chad arguing and a glass shattering. I knock on the door and move on. I go to Ambers room and smell weed. I crinkle my nose, knock on the door, and walk away. I go to Amy's room but before I can knock Amy opens the door. I see she's naked and smelling of alcohol and weed. I look away.

"Oh come on Kourt! Stop being a prude!" She opens the door wider and I see two naked men on the bed. I see one of them is Jack. "Wanna join us Kourtney?" I look at her at disgust.

"Amy! You have a boyfriend! And getting drunk! And a threesome is too close to an orgy-porgy." She just laughs, too high and drunk to care. "He cheats on me, so I cheated on him. Who says I can't do it many times?" She smiles and closes the door. I slip to the floor. Gigi is a drunk, Amber is a druggie, and Amy is both but with a little bit of a whore. I'm the only good one. I start crying.

"Hey what's wrong?" I look up and see Talib. "Here, come to my room." I walk with him to his room. He gets me a cup of coca.

"Thank you." I say. "You're such a nice friend." His face comes closer and he kisses me and I don't push him away.

"Oh no Talib I can't do this, God will punish me!" And I run away.
