Country Legend Rayna James

Undermind

Rayna had a dream about her and Deacon. Teddy woke her up. 

Juliette POV

I heard a knock at my door. It's morning and I had just gotten out of bed so I am tired. I walked over to the door and open it. I saw two police officers. "What did my mom do now?" I asked thinking my mom did something.  "If you want you can just take her, she's all yours" I told them. "We actually came for you" said one of the police officers. The other one handed me a paper. "What the Hell is this" I said taking the paper. "Shopliften is a class A miss demino" one of them said. "I'm sure by now you saw the video about what 4 billion people have." I cracked up. "Seriously?" I asked. Then I said "Get a real job" and I slam the door on their faces. 

At Rayna's house

"Mom there is a video you are not going to believe. It's about Juliette Barns" said Maddie.

Back with Juliette 

Juliette watched that video of her shoplifting. "4 million views not bad" she said. Clan was talking to someone on the phone and Juliette's mom asked for cereal. Juliette doesn't care what kind of poplicity this is.  "Any poplicity is good poplisicty" she says. "At least I looked good" she said. 

Juliette watched Katie. She's talking about Juliette Barns. And then her mom started bothering her again. "Why don't you just mine your own business" she told her mom. Can you just do something with her like sending her back to Berhinham" I ordered. "That's for the judge to decide at her hearing" he told her. "What in 7 weeks" she asked. "Can't you do something? Pull some strings? Tell him who I am." "I doubt that would do much good right now" he told her. "I can't be around her for another second" she muttered. 

I tried to drive out in my limo but we only made it to the gate when I saw a crowd of people flashing their cameras. "I think we should turn around" said the woman. "This is a nightmare" said Juliette. 

The next morning Juliette was out doing yoga. 

"We have to make a statement right away" said Juliette's publicses. "No released" responded Juliette. "Now can you leave I am trying to get in touch with my center."  "We need to issue an statement" the woman said. "Says who?" asked Juliette. "Says the fans that bought tickets to your concert. They need some kind of explanation. We need to get ahead of this before it gets out. Now I have to schedule an interview with GMA" the woman says. "Good Morning America? Is that really news? Is there an election or something going on?" she asked. "No I'm not going to let any negative energy in. No interview, no statement, I have a tour to prepared for. And that is exactly what I am going to do. Nomastay."

"I just gotten a call from the CMA's. They said you are coming to attend but they are pulling you out of the nomination" Clan told her. "What?!" said Juliette in disbelieve. "You know what this isn't the first call I've got" he told her. "I know you don't want to hear this but as fast as you came up into this business, that is how fast you can get out. People elected Rayna James. That's not a given, people have to earn it. As good as you are you haven't earn it yet." "He is right. This is a make or break moment. Who've got one shot to set the record straight" the woman said. "To be the person the world thinks you are." "You want to keep living this life? I suggest you take it" he told her. "Schedule the GMA interviewed" she said given in.  "I'll do it." 

Juliette looked at all those comments what people are saying about her. 'Hey baby, I know you are upset right now but everything will be alright" said her mom. "You are going to have a big interview tomorrow and you have got to eat." "I'm not hungry" responded Juliette. "I made Macuriny. It's your favorite" she responded. "It's your favorite. I made it just the way you like it." "I don't eat that crap. Maybe you do but I don't" Juliette answered. "You know I am only trying to help here" she responded. "What? Pretending to be a good mother?" Juliette asked. "I don't buy that for a second like if I don't see you pawn everything in this place so you can get your hands on some drugs." 

She grab her mom's back pack. "What are you hiding" she yelled searching it. "Give it back please" cried her mom. Juliette empty the bag and instead of finding any drugs, she found a picture of her when she was a baby on her mom in a hospital room. Juliette started to cry. Her mom kneed down to comfort her daughter. 

Juliette talked to her publicity about the interviewing and preparing what they are going to say to her about her stealing. 

Jasmine POV

I woke up early because I have classes in a couple of hours. I texted my mom Good Morning and she responded. She told me to turn my TV on Good Morning America because  Juliette Barns was on. I turn on my TV, luckily Rachel is up and I change the channel to ABC. I was excited to see one of my favorite country singers. Then I read on the TV screen "Juliette Barns speak out" I was curious. Robin Roberts first compared her to Lindsey Lohaln and then started talking about her mother who has  a problem with drugs. Juliette ended her interview. 

I have seen that video that is on YouTube of her stealing nail polish. That is what everyone is talking about. Making me think of Justin Bieber. I used to liked him until I found out he is a punk. I couldn't believe what I saw. After watching that short interview I felt bad for Juliette for having a mother like that. Makes me think of my home best friend Emma's mom who is still living in Worcester Massachusetts while I'm in college in Nashville, Tennessee.  

Juliette POV

"How bad?" I asked. "Performance internationals pulled us off the tour" Clan told me. "The sponsors are bailing, they don't have much of a choice." "What does that mean" I asked feeling nervous that my music career is over. "It means that your tour for now is off" he told me. 

Gunnar POV

I had just slept with Hailey who I had just met when we went out with Scarlet and Avery, Mr. White and his wife talking about Scarlet and mine record deal.  

Teddy POV

I met up with a woman. A Woman I have been seeing for a while. I got into her car and closed the door. Then took off my sunglasses. "Thanks for coming" I said. "This is torture" she responded. "At the club last night I felt sick." "I know" I told her. "I'm really sorry about that." I sigh. "This campaign changes everything. They really been digging into my past" I told her. "Teddy, someone is going to find out" she told me. "It's only a matter of time." "O.k well that is what I am hoping to avoid" I told her. 'You haven't told anybody have you?" "No, I haven't breathe a word to this to anyone" she told me. "Teddy, we kept this secret a long time. But maybe it is better if we come clean now on our own terms." "Look what we did was really stupid but you can not speak a word to this to anyone" I told her. "My campaign, my marriage, my entitle family depends on this and yours too." 

Juliette POV

I was in my room thinking when I heard a knock. Clan open the door and said "We need to talk." He walked over to me and sit down. "I don't think this is working, you and me" he said. "Are you dropping me?" I asked. "My job is to give you the best advise I can" he told me. "Whatever problems you had before, that interview made them worse." "I know" I told him. I can't believe this is happening to me. "Please don't do this" I begged. "I want my tour back. I want my image restore, And I will do whatever it takes and I will listen to you. I promise." "I need to ask you a question and if you want me to stay I need an honest answer" he told me. I nodded. "Why did you do it" he asked. "Why did you take the nail polish?" 

"It was something I used to do when I was a kid. It might sound funny to you but it made me feel like I could take care of myself" I told him. "No one else would." 'O.k from now on you listen" he told me. I nodded "O.k." "Alright tomorrow morning we regroup. Don't just sit here all alone call a friend. Just get your mind off this stuff o.k?" he told me. "I don't have friends" I told him. "Or people who wants to be seen with me or used to." "I'll see you in the morning" he said. 

I decided to call Deacon. "Hey" he answered. "Deacon, Hey. It's me. It's Juliette" I told him. "I know who me is Juliette" he responded. "I hate to call you like this" I said. "It's o.k" he said. "Not really" she responded. "Hey you doing anything right now?" he asked.
