"Can someone explain the situation about Charles ?"
Jimmy's voice rang in my ears, and I glanced at the others. Their expressions went cold.Matt stared at Jimmy, confused, yet cold in expression. It was hard to tell what they were all thinking about, but I knew that at least one question was going through their mind.
Should we tell ?
Pamela didn't say anything about it. Should we ?Nobody spoke. They all stared at Jimmy awkwardly, and nervously.
Time to fix this, Adelle.
I nodded to myself. Luckily, nobody saw me.
Then I spoke.
"Well, as you can see, this is a little bit of a sensitive topic for us. But I already promised an explanation. We still owe the audience an explanation. We're still trying to figure it all out, as it has been a very troublesome time."Matt looked at me, his eyesight rising from his the floor, followed by the others.
"Y-Yeah, it was a very weird time."
Pamela agreed nervously, cracking her knuckles while no one noticed.However, Jimmy nodded his head understandingly. Then he let the topic go.
Phew.
I took a glance at the audience, then at the live cameras. How many people were watching this ?
Was Barron watching ?
He promised he would be. But, did he have the time ?I pushed the thought of my mind, and continued to answer Jimmy's questions.
As soon as the time was out, and the live cameras stopped filming, we went backstage.
"I..I can't believe you did it."
Hayden said in a low tone nervously.
"Yes. You did it."
Pamela assured, and wrapped me in a hug.A hug..?
Pamela never hugged me. Why now ?
The answer is, because I saved the day !
I hugged her back, forgetting how to smile for a moment.
When she let go, Matt stepped towards me, his expression concerned with relief. Don't ask me how."I thought for a moment that you'll say everything.."
He started.
"No, Matt..I know we don't really get along very well, but..Mars was a friend. Even if I haven't known him for long. But he was a great friend, and I won't just say everything now. Not yet anyway."
Surprisingly, he hugged me too.I don't know why I expected that.
Soon, we all group-hugged.
1 Hour Later :
We arrived on Set, and entered.
I found Millie, Barron and the rest of the cast doing their whatsoever silently. No one talked, which made me suspect that something was happening.It made me want to ask what was wrong. Then again, I ask at the wrong time. I asked Menna about her stolen phone at a time when she was stealing mine for God's sake !
I noticed my siblings. Rajwan seemed angry, but didn't say anything. Allison was the same. Except that her angry, frowning expression was drowned by her phone, which she was using to text someone. Of course, I knew it was Rush.
Barron's expression was sad, almost on the edge of tears. I assumed that he watched the interview, it was a real mess out there.
But, it wasn't that much of a mess."Why are you all sitting like that ?"
Johnny asked, confused.
I then noticed Michael. I don't know why I didn't notice him before.He was sitting alone, his expression menacingly weird, betrayed, and it made me scared. I couldn't read it anyway.
Just then I saw Hanin heading out from God-knows-where. She looked at me menacingly, before she spoke. Her voice came out low but everyone heard it.
"Your boyfriend kissed me.."
To Be Continued..
