A New Love is BØRN

Big Sister

"I'm Hope."

Hope was a beautiful girl, but not in the typical way. She had brown hair and green eyes. She had freckles that crossed her nose, bridging her rosy cheeks together. She was dressed in ripped black jeans, a black and white striped shirt, a light Jean jacket, and gray sneakers. Not the typical girl Garrett picks. There must've been something about this one.

"I'm Garrett, which," he chuckled embarrassingly, "you must already know."

"Yes, I may have heard of you once or twice," she teased.

"Oh well, in that case I'm not a total stranger. Join me in my dressing room?"

Hope stepped aside revealing a young child at her hip. "This is my little sister, Jane. She's nine and she loves your music."

"Oh, uh, Hi Jane," he said.

"H-," Jane began as she cleared her throat, "hi."

Garrett smiled at her and took a picture with her. All the other women were gone, so since Hope was watching Jane, Garrett wouldn't have a women during his time in New York. Without a woman in his room, he decided to stay and talk for a bit with Hope and Jane, something he never did with his fans.

"So Hope, how did you like the show?" He asked.

"It's not necessarily my type of music, but I enjoyed it. My favorite part was taking pics of Jane dancing. Moms going to love seeing those. Right Jane?"

"Hope you promised you wouldn't film me dancing." Jane said.

"I didn't, I just took pictures," Hope said with a wink.

Garrett leaned down to Janes height. "What a bad sister, am I right?" He teased as he looked up to meet hopes eyes. Jane playfully nodded.

"And I suppose you bring your siblings to their favorite artists concerts for their birthday," Hope retaliated.

"My sister is slightly older than me, so she brought me to concerts," he laughed. "But I do let her come to my shows for free," he said with a wink. "Would you two like to come to my show tomorrow?"

"Sorry,"Hope said, "I have to work tomorrow, and Jane will be with our parents."

"Well what about a number?" Borns asked shyly.

"Sorry Garrett, but I know you stars. One girl is never enough, and I don't want to be amongst the many who have seen your dressing rooms across the country," Hope said covering Jane's ears. "You seem really nice, but I don't know how far that continues after the initial enticing. Who knows, maybe we will see you at another show," Hope said with a faint smile.

     Garrett nodded and sadly said, "I understand, but it felt different this time. Know that." He leaned down and hugged Jane and told her to come back sometime and handed her two tickets to any show of his.
