I am so sorry guys that I did not finish that chapter. Lets just say thats Chapter One, and move on to chapter 2! I am soooooooo sorry.
Chapter 2
Somehow through the tears, I finally made my way home. But all I could think about was "Why Heather?" and "How could she do this to me?!" Now its perfectly normal for someone to be mad at their best friend when something like this happens, and yes, I was mad. But more mad at him.Why are guys so immature?
"Probably because they have no mind!" my friend David told me. He was gay as well, and me and him had alot in common except we hardly talked. One, because of my job, and two because of his. He was a high school graduate, as well as him going through college, he was a journalist.
"I brought this on to myself," I mumbled. "Guys see me, date me and then say 'Hey hes easy to cheat on!I think his best friend who is a girl would love to date me because shes a Bitc-"
David interrupted me. "I get the picture. But I don't think you brought this on to yourself. Guys are scum... you'll learn."
"Well, I am going to bed," I told David. "You can crash the night here if you want." David smiled. "Thanks, I was going to anyway.My roomate, you know the one in my dorm--is annoying, and to tell you the truth his snoring habits get on my nerves."
I laughed a sly laugh and went to bed.
"Hey you!" David yelled at me from my door. "Um you might want to get up...Heather is at the door." I looked at my clock with my eyes halfway closed. 8:00 a.m. "Aargh. Her face is not what I want to see right now." I said sleepily. I got up and looked at David. "Tell her to wait in the living room. I'm taking me a shower."
After I was showered and clothed I made my way to the living room. Heather was looking at my CD collection by the entertainment center. "Wow," she said once she saw me. "You have some great CD's."
I sneered. "You gonna take them away from me to?" She stood up and frowned. "I deserve that," she replied.
"Hell yeah you do."I mumbled. I made my way into the kitchen where David was cooking breakfast. "I came by to talk about that.You know- Gregory and you." I turned and walked back into the living room. "There is really nothing to talk about. Your a bitch and he's a prick." I told her. "Look," Heather said. "I am sorry, I really am."
I sat down on the couch. Silence rang through the air and after awhile I said "I just don't know why you did this to me. Your suppose to be my best friend. And now your my enemy." Heather sat down beside me. "How Long have we been friends?" she asked. I thought back for a moment, then said, "Since we were in kindergarden." Heather took her hand in mine. "Right. And I know that you may never forgive me, but think about it. Can you control a persons feelings? Can we tell ourselves when were suppose to fall in love? Can we control ourselves when were in love?" She said.
"No," I said "But your also suppose to respect your best friend and don't come between their relationships." Heather stood up. "Well all I have to say is to me you'll always be my best friend. And whether you think were enmies or not, I will always think of you as my best friend." Heather walked to the door. "Call me if you need anything. I'll always be there for you no matter what." With that she left.
David came from the kitchen and looked at me. "Thats a bunch of bull!" He told me. "She steals your boyfriend and she acts as if nothing is wrong!" Then he began imitating her. " No matter what your still my best friend...Call me!" I laughed. This was a moment I was glad to have David as my friend. I was beginning to think of him as a new best friend.
"So he dumped you?" Mrs. Johnson said once I finished telling her everything. "Well hes just full of surprises. He came in and quit work this morning. He demanded his pay for the week to."
I smiled. Now I didn't have to work with him. "Okay, enough about this. You told me you had something to tell me?" I said putting some cameras into a box. "OOOH yes!" she cried. "Now I need to ask of you a favor. You think your up to it?" she asked. "Yeah." I answered.
"There is this group called O-Town... you know those guys from that show called Making The Band? Well there manager called me this morning and told me they needed someone from our area of work to take pictures for a magazine. I think its TEENBEAT. I am not for sure." Mrs. Johnson said. I stopped what I was doing. "Why can't TeenBeat do it? It's their magazine. Were not even in their area." Mrs. Johnson laughed. "Well TeenBeat apparantly has some things to work out.But look at it this way. Were running out of money, and their manager has offered us alot of money." Ms. Johnson said sitting down. "How much?" I asked. Mrs. Johnson laughed. "I can't say. Its too much." I laughed " Alright whatever you say. So what does this have to do with me?" I asked.
Mrs. Johnson looked at me and smiled. "Well you have been such a big help around here Keagan, and you have been asking to be more involved. Look, I have been meaning for you to be put to higher standards, so I am officially making you one of us for life. How does Assistant Manager sound?" I nearly fell. "What?!Oh, that sounds great! But what does this have to do with O-Town?" Mrs. Johnson sighed and stood up. "You have to go with a camera crew to Florida and help them with the pictures and stuff. You have to find a certain place, and appropriate lighting, and all that junk to take pictures.I can't do it. I'm too old to be flying everywhere." I sat down.
"Wow, I'm ...speechless!" I whispered."Thank you so much." Mrs Johnson smiled. "No problem honey. Now we have work to do. We have to find you some good camera people and get your things ready to go. You leave out tomorrow." This was all too much to take in.
ORLANDO,FLORIDA
"Ok guys!" I yelled. "Is everything set? The group is here!" I waited a moment. " Yeah!" Gus, one of the camera men yelled back. We were at the ocean in a private lagoon. There were five small waterfalls coming down from unseen areas, which fell into a small shallow lagoon. The lighting was perfect and so was the spot.
"Are we suppose to go up there?" I heard a voice from behind me. I turned to see one of the boys from O-Town looking back at me. It was the blonde one. Ashley. "Yeah," I replied. "Time is getting short, and it says you guys have to leave here by 4 o'clock. Its already 2:00." I said looking at their schedule. "Ok, thanks." Ashley said. "Guys, come on!" He yelled. "Onto the set!"
Three guys followed him onto the set. "Hey, where is the fifth one?" I asked. "Oh, he's coming." Trevor said. "He had to make a phone call."
I made my way over to their tourbus which sat not too far away. I knocked on its door. "Come in!" I heard. Not knowing what else to do I made my ay into the bus. I entered the little kitchen area. "Look," I heard. I sat down implying he was still on the phone. "I am sorry. This is what I do. I am not going to throw this all away because you want me to.. what! No! Look- would you just listen to me!" It all came from the back of the bus. "No...fine! What?!... Well if you want to thats fine, but I cannot leave this job!Its my dream! Fine... what do you mean-..." Silence. "Its over?" I heard him say.
I heard a door open and saw Jacob coming out with a sad look. He must have known I heard because he said "Sorry you had to hear that. I just got dumped." I looked at him. He wasn't bad looking at all. He was actually very attractive. His eyes, his hair, his lips, right down to his body. But that thought ended as Gregory came up in my mind. "Hello?" I heard. "Huh?" I said snapping out of my thoughts. "I asked if we were needed on the set." Jacob said. " Oh...yeah..yeah thats why I came to get you. We don't have much time." I told him.
"I'm sorry I wasn't out there. I just had some problems with my mate. Doesn't want me to do this." He told me. "Oh, i'm sorry." I told him. " If it helps, I was dumped for another person... my best friend two days ago." Jacob frowned. "That sucks!" He said.
"But I have to push him out of my mind.It helps not to think about him." I told Jacob. "Him?" Jacob asked. "Oh, I'm sorry I-" I was cut off. "No, its okay... I just got out of a relationship with a guy." Jacob told me. I found myself shocked. "Wow...your?" I asked not finishing. "Yeah." was his reply.
