Could It Be True( KatyPerry fanfiction)

Chapter 8

Alisons POV

It's been almost 2 years since Katy has told me what the heck was going on. That my parents didn't like her. That wouldn't work since she was my best friend. When she left for tour I was sad. I was happy, and exited for her to start that chapter of her life. My parents on the other hand wouldn't let me speak about her for a while. Like where she was, what songs she sang, shit like that. They finally told me who my parents were. Turns out they were some major young people in love, so I think it's cool. I don't pursue into looking for them, cause well you know...if they wanted to see me they would've already. So yeah my parents were at least nice enough to give me info. They were mad that Katy said 'wrong words' to them and they actually forbid me to speak to her. Well luckily for me they never checked my phone. I would call occasionally. Usually she was the one to call me because she was the one with the crazy schedule. I'd text her when she would send me the words "I'm free". So I think it's nice we keep up on the phone. It's different than real life chatting though. Luckily for me my birthday is tomorrow. I'll be 18 and getting the heck away from my parents for a while. Katy has an off week this week, but i have tickets to her show the following. Thats good for me because that gives me a few days to drive where she is. I called Tamra earlier to tell her i was coming, but to keep it to herself. I want to surprise Katy. I want to see my bestfriend.

~next day~

Katys POV

Its Alisons 18th birthday today. I havent had the time to send her a text, or give her a ring. Ive been trapped in this room all day. Signing papers, photos, and contracts. This is so boring. I think I have signed about 100 things. I am looking around the room, and outside the door. Seeing people run around with ripped dancer costumes, my ripped costumes. People speaking on walkie talkie about stage, and lights. Security talking about entrances and safe exits. Everyone basically hurrying their asses off because of me. Thats crazy to think about sometimes. All these people work for my career, it amazes me. As much as i love these crazy devoted people, I need to get away from them. I glance around for Tamra. Seeing that she is not inside this room, I pull out my phone and send her a text. I tell her I am going to get some fresh air. I get a reply back, I dont check it because I know its Tamra telling me to not wander off. I exit the room, and look for a door to lead outside.

Once I get outside I instantly get hot. I forgot what state we are in, but its really hot here. I look around, seeing more security staff. I pull out my phone and dial Alisons number to wish her a happy birthday. My phone rang...then rang...and then i hit her voice mail.

"Hey, you have reached Alison's phone! Leave your name, number, and I will get back to you as soon as-"

I hang up the phone, not wanting to waste both of our times with a voice mail I know she won't bother checking. Teens these days with all the texting they do. I see all these kids texting, all the time! I always have something to say about "texting" and "teens" and having a "global cell sabbath" but I'm constantly on my phone as well. Maybe even more than the kiddos.

It is very strange that Alison didn't answer though. She almost always answers me. I haven't talked to her in a while, so I don't know all the birthday plans she has had today or this week. The big 18, she can finally buy lottery tickets, and cigarettes if she pleases.

Since I'm out here getting fresh air I decide to put my headphones in and pop a squat for a few minutes. I need a break of just music and alone time. It's a different atmosphere out here than it is in there, and I can't lie and say I don't enjoy it out here, because it's lovely.

Alison's POV

I pull up to the venue gates, to be questioned by a huge security guard.

"Name please?" He demands.

"Uh- I" I stammer being slightly terrified of this dude

"She's clear" a woman says.

I look around and see no one in sight. Until I see the body guard turn around I notice Tamra. She smiles at me and the body guard. I roll up my window as I watch her explain to the man who I was. He quickly scribbles something down and clips it back on his clipboard.

I watch Tamra walk around my car to get in the passenger seat. I quickly unlock the doors and she hops in.

"Hey little punk! What are you up to?" She says, pulling out her phone to text someone an update.

"Nothing! Spent my birthday driving to this lousy ass state!" I say, hearing Tamra chuckle as if she was agreeing with me. "So where is the pop star?" I add seconds after.

"Taking a 'fresh air' break" she says. She adds "she's just getting stressed. She has been meaning to call you bu-"

I butt in before she can finish "yeah I get it" I can see her look at me in the corner of my eye but I choose to ignore it and park in a parking space.

"She tried calling me a couple minutes ago to wish me a happy birthday, but I didn't answer it. She can just wish me one when I see her." Tamra smiles at the thought.

"She's really missed you Alison. You wouldn't imagine" she says, wholeheartedly.

I glance around the outside of the venue. I can't seem to find the person I was originally looking for, but I found everyone I wasn't looking for. I exchanged hellos with a few dancers and tour setup people and made light conversation with just strangers. I decided it was time to find her, so I excused myself. Tamra said she'd catch up with me in a few. I walked around the outside baffled at how huge this place was, also astonished at how far I've walked without seeing Katy. I began to wonder how this was finally happening. I was 18! I could do what I want. Whenever I want. Without being told no. I was finally independent. I've been waiting for this my whole teenage years, but it has now hit me that I do not have any authority over me. I have responsibilities that are mine, not my parents. I'm gonna have to pay rent, and make sure I eat properly. I guess I was so caught up in being free, I never realized how scary this part of my life could be. I continue to walk around, breaking a sweat, I hear footsteps approaching behind me. I turn around and hope I see Katy, but it's Tamra. I turn back around unamused and I hear her number some smart remark. I then approach a corner and see her. My sanity, hope, and joy. My bestfriend

Katy's POV

I am currently jamming to Ariana Grande's iTunes Radio. Music up full blast enjoying the warmth of the suns rays. I can't lie I've started to work up a sweat and it's pretty hot here. I hear the song end, and patiently wait for a new one. I check my phone to see if I have any messages from Alison. I swipe down and see my notification bar empty. This girl. I hear the beginning of Ariana's song 'love me harder' start. Suddenly I feel someone tap on my shoulder. I turn my head and see nicely tanned legs. I begin to look up and see her blonde hair. Wearing a pair of short shorts and a cute crop top, finished off with a hat, I see her slightly hostile facial expression. I quickly stand up and pull her in for a hug. Speechless at what a surprise this is, I really needed this. I hope she understands that.

I give her a suspicious look, eyeing her up and down waiting for an explanation on exactly why she's here. I wait for her as she gathers her thoughts on what she's gonna say

"Okay Kate, it's nice to see you and all but it's hotter than hell out here" not exactly what I was wanting to hear, and I could tell Tamra wasn't expecting that either as she gave a short chuckle as did I.

"Yeah yeah let's go inside" I say as I wrap my arm around her shoulder and feel her presence finally surrounding me. This is gonna be a good day, and one of Alison's best birthday yet, as she can see the tour up close and personal, and finally spend some quality time with her bestfriend.
