Broken Dreams. (Eminem Fan Fiction)

Chapter Three

"I know you love to move at the pace of a damn snail but please hurry up,Lex!We need to show you guys something after"Gavin said,pushing Kylie and I towards my dressing room.

"But wha-"

My lips parted in disbelief when I realised that Gavin had slammed the door on me,not even bothering to listen to my question.A smirk creeped its way onto Kylie's glossed lips and she turned towards me,shrugging her skinny shoulders and taking a seat on the leather couch.For a moment I haulted my actions and listened to the sound outside,a warm,joyous feeling rushing through my chest and making me smile.Even though my concert had ended a little while now some of my biggest supporters were still outside,cheering loudly to make it known that they were still there.Flashes of the performance that had just occurred rushed through my mind.The cheering,screaming and happy tears spilling out of peoples' eyes would never fail to amaze me.

Sensing Kylie's eyes giving me a strange look,I snapped out of my daydream and removed the elastic from my hair,the curls falling perfectly onto my shoulders.Hurredly,my palms reached up to my leather jacket and tugged it off,exposing the black blouse that had been hidden underneath.Not matter how much cold air the air conditioner blew,the sticky feeling on my arms remained and the jagged pattern of my breath stayed constant.A tired feeling lingered in my body and not even the Red Bull flowing down my throat could stop it.

Both Mine and Kylie's eyes darted towards the door when we heard the pounding noise errupting from the other side.My heart stopped for a moment and I could have sworn that it was one of my many dedicated fans just trying to get in.Saying dediacted was better than saying crazy.

Kylie eyed the door suspiciously,grasping the door knob and puling it open to reveal a hyper,breathless boy with a look of pure excitement on his handsome face.

"Now that you're all changed let's go!"Gavin exclaimed,tugging on my arm,"We have to show you someone.You'd be lucky if he's even still there"

A grin covered the lower region of my face when my eyes scanned over Jared and Cathy who were stood right behind Gavin.Knowing that my friends had come to suport me at my concert was beyond amazing.I didn't even bother to invite Amber and her sidekick,Jenna.My head would have exploded if I heard those two discussing shoes and Amber's 'perfect' life.I was sick of hearing about Amber's engagement,her career and that ugly,blowdried rat of hers.Yeah,I'm talking about that dog that she dragged everywhere.

"Who do you guys want to show me?"I asked excitedly,clapping my hands together rather childishly.

"It's a surprise,Lex"Cathy said and wrapped her fingers around mine,forcing me out of the cold dressing room,"You'll see in a minute"

My lips remained sealed as my four friends dragged me towards the front of the backstage area,the chatting of my fans becoming clearer.Kylie's fingers tugged at the slit between the dark,blue curtains,creating the thinnest path for me to peer through.I could feel Jared's hold on my shoulders as I peeked through the silky material,my eyes scanning over the remaining fans and the hundreds of empty seats in the large arena.My eyebrows furrowed when a sudden feeling of curiousity washed over me.

"What exactly am I supoosed to be staring at?"I asked,turning my head towards my four friends,staring at them with raised eyebrows.

"Just look at the VIP section,Alexis"Jared said,rolling his brown eyes at me playfully.

Ignoring my friends' mean laughs,I turned back around and darted my eyes towards the specific section.A fan,another fan,another fan,some man dressed in black,another man.Wait a minute..

Swallowing the lump in my throat,I brought my eyes back to the man whose back was turned towards me.The black VIP pass was hanging from his neck,accompanied by a silver chain.My eyes turned into large saucers when I caught sight of the tattoos adorning his muscular arms,the tattoos that were too familiar to go unnoticed by me.Although the handsome man was turned towards the opposite direction and he was chatting with someone else,I could tell who he was just by his stance and the ink on his muscular arms.If that wasn't enough proof my eyes dropped towards his feet,noticing the Nike shoes that were clad to them like always.

"You're drooling,Lex"Cathy said jokingly,poking me with her green,manicured nail.

"Er..uh.."I muttered,my gaze fixed on the man whose back was still faced towards me.I could have just run back onto the stage,reach down and steal his hat or something.That would be weird though...

My eyes widened even more when I notcied Ryan chatting with Eminem.I knew he was signed to his lable,the two were good friends.How could he not tell me that he was bringing my idol along?Hell,he didn't even tell me that he was attending the concert.

"Pretty cool,huh?"Cathy grinned.

"Very cool"I breathed,my stare on the floor and my eyes still wider than usual.

"That's a sign that your career isn't going to end because of some stupid lable,Lex"Gavin said,swinging his arm over my shoulders,"Your biggest idol is at your concert.That should encourage you,right?"

"It doesn't mean that I'm signed to a lable,Gavin"I muttered,turning towards him with a frown on my face.

"Can't help you there,Lex"He replied,ruffling the top of my curly hair.

Due to my excessive happiness,I had played Eminem's music the whole ride home.Not one thing could have ruined my night,not even Amber.I found myself smiling like a fool as I changed out of my clothes and into my pyjamas.The tired feeling that had once possessed my body left,leaving me in somehwat of a hyper attitude.I lay in my bed,my eyes staring up at the ceiling in a gaze as I remembered the special person who had attended my concert.

My happiness didn't even last for much longer,the smile dropped from my face and my eyes turned dull.Why was I exaggerating like this?Maybe Eminem didn't even like my music,maybe Ryan had just dragged him along.There was no chance that one of the biggest names in Hip Hop was impressed with my music.I felt like a silly teenager again,I was acting like this man loved me when in realtity,he probably didn't give a damn about me.Who knows?Maybe he liked me enough to not make fun of me with Ryan.A girl could dream.

Early the next morning Dave was at my door,a natural grin on his face and his eyes filled with joy.Making himself at home like usual,he strode into the house and sat at the table were we usually had our discussions.Moments later I was sat beside him,resting a warm cup of coffee before him and sipping from my own cup.The look in Dave's eyes alone spelt the words,"Good news".Hopefully it would have something to cheer me up from my drastic feeling of being dropped from a lable that I had been signed to for five years.

"I have the best news for you"Dave said after placing the warm mug back onto the glass table,"My friend happens to work at Monroe records and guess what?"

"There's no time to guess,Dave.I just want to hear the news!"I said,a giggle ended at the end to show that I was only kidding.

"Monroe Records would love to sign you,Lex.The board absolutely loves your music and I think this would be a fantastic opportunity"He spilled,a look of pride beaming from his eyes.

"That's great,Dave.I just don't know much about the lable yet.Could I get some time to think about this?"I asked,itching the back of my neck.

"Of course you can"Dave said,patting me gently on the shoulder.

I hadn't expected someone to make an offer so quickly,especially not Monroe Records.Even though I was thrilled by the news that had just been shared,a part of me wished that someone better would have made a request.Not many rappers were signed to that lable,especially not many rappers like me.For once I wouod have liked to fit into the perfect lable,accompanied by muscicians with the same way of thinking like me.

If I were to discover that the 'rappers' signed to the lable were the kind to express their love for women,fame and money into songs,my head would expload.
