I'm in Love with my Teenage Fan

Chapter Seven

I walk up to Mitch and say, “So I hope you love me.”

“Why?” he asks.

I shrug my shoulders and say, “Because in a month we are opening for Hunter Hayes!”

He hugs me and quickly walks away. I can't believe it. In just a month I get to not only meet my hero, but open up for him. I look around and see Kathy and Kia talking in the corner. Kia looks at me and so does Kathy. It figures that they would become friends the night that I want to hurt someone for touching Kia.

I walk over and put my arm around Kathy. She smiles at me and Kia gives me a look that I cannot ignore. I throw my arm around her too and she smiles. Kathy gives me the look that says she's not happy but I just keep my arms around both of them. It feels good to be holding my two favorite girls like this even though this makes me feel like a huge player.

I've been thinking about this for so long that I don't know what to do. My mind tells me that I should listen to my heart, and my heart tells me to listen to my head. I have no clue who to pick.

Kathy smiles at me and I realize that I was asked a question. “Sorry what?”

“Do you know about opening for Hunter yet?” Kathy asks acting excited.

I nod my head and say, “Well in a month, as you know, Hunter will be here.” They both nod their heads and I continue, “Well in a month we will be here opening up for him!”

Kathy wraps her arms around me and says, “That is amazing! I am so proud of you guys!”

She kisses me and when we pull apart Kia gives me a smile and a hug. “Congrats. I hope you have fun meeting him. I hear he is super nice and laid back to where it is so easy to talk to him.”

“I hope so! I mean it is Hunter Hayes.”

Kia walks away to go talk to the rest of the band and Kathy looks at me. “If some guy was hitting on me would you have reacted the same way?”

I nod my head and she stays quiet. Maybe I should say something to her to confirm what I am telling her with my head nod, but I can't find the words.

Kathy looks at me waiting and I say, “Listen babe, I love you. I am dating you so of course I would jump all over some guy if he was treating you like that. Can you please just drop it now?”

She nods her head and we stand there in an uncomfortable silence. I can't take it anymore so I walk away and call over my shoulder, “I'll be back in a minute.”

It is weird having an uncomfortable moment with Kathy, we usually don't have those. Even if it it quiet it is a comfortable quiet. I keep walking and then I find myself in front Kia. She smiles at me and I can tell she wants to say something but I say, “So do you and Kathy get along now?” She nods her head and I say, “I'm happy but what changed?”

She shrugs her shoulders and says, “Listen I don't wanna talk about it okay. She understood something that I wasn't sure to handle.”

“What?”

“Don't worry about it. It isn't important anymore. Just know that because of her I was able to hold in some tears earlier. I may have let some escape but I held in most of my tears because I knew that if I let them all fall I wouldn't stop crying.”

I look at her wondering what the huge mystery is but I know that she won't tell me now.
