Fell For My Bestfriend

chapter 20

Emily's POV

"Oh no...." I said and quickly dialled his number..... And waited for him to pick up....
He picked up after a couple of rings....
"Hey... Sorry I was busy so I couldn't pick up...." I said feeling guilty...
For what exactly?

Shut up... Not now...

"Yeah that's fine... I called to say I am sorry.... I am sorry for behaving like a child.... I mean I know how much Brenda means to you.... I shouldn't have done that.... Please I am sorry Emily...." He said... Voice full of genuineness....
"Yeah that's okay... Don't worry.... It's all cool...." I said ....
"I know it's not.... I am sorry.... I am just really stressed out right now... I just really miss you... Like a lot.... This is hectic... I can't do this.... Sometimes I really wish my life was that of a normal kid.... This whole thing is taking a toll on me.... I just feel like giving up but then again at the same time this gives me immense amount of happiness.... Performing in front of 60k people is breathtaking and amazing... But it's hard to face the consequences....." He said... I could feel his voice tremble like he was trying really hard not to break down while he was talking to me....
I felt really broken to hear him like this... Suddenly i felt the urgency of being there with him... To comfort him when he is broken in despair.... To love him and to support him....
"Listen to me Troy Stephen Maxwell... I love you and so does the whole world.... There are millions of people out there who love you and respect you.... For some you are their saviour, for some their mentor, for some their whole world.... So don't you ever say that you are just going to throw everything away.... I know it's tough to stand up to everyone's expectations but I know you can do it.... You are the best person in the whole wide world and you are absolutely adorable.... You are going to do it for yourself, for me and for others.... I know you can do it.... Nothing can stop you.... Did you understand...?" I said sternly and emphasising on each and every word....
"Thank you... I needed to hear that.... You know this is just another reason as to why I love you so much...." He said... I could feel a slight smile on his face and that was exactly what I was hoping to achieve....
"I love you too.... But please don't feel lonely... I am always there for you... Even if I am not present in person I am still there.... Plus I am just a call away.... You can always do that...." I said smiling myself and feeling happy that I could bring him out of his 'misery'...
"Yeah I know... So how's the preparations going?" He asked....
"It's good... I got some dresses today... I will send you the pictures later then you can suggest which one I should wear...." I said......
"Will do babe.... Hey you know I gotta go... We have soundcheck in an hour... I will call you after that.... Bye I love you..." He said.....
"Yeah okay... Bye all the best and love you loads...... Have a good soundcheck..." I said and hung up....
"So did you talk and sort out your problems?" Tina asked, standing near fridge with her hands on the waist...
"Yeah we did.... And I am happy..." I said smiling...
"Yeah I can say...." She said...
****************
The rest of the day went well.... Troy called me and I was invited for dinner at Tina's house.... Dinner also went well... Her parents are really warm and welcoming... They always made me feel at home and treated me like their second daughter.... I was happy to have found a family in an unknown land.... Seeing them I really I missed my parents.... But I knew they were there watching over me at all times....
The wedding would take place a day after tomorrow.... I was really excited.... So was everybody else..... Everything was set.... All that was left was decorating the church.... And the area where the reception would take place....
