Chapter Nineteen
Lynn arrived at Breyana's house to find a huge crowd of reporters hanging around out in her front yard trying to get pictures. She didn't want to cause a scene so she drove around to the back and parked in the alley. "Get in here" Breyana told her friend. "What in the world is going on out there?" Lynn asked. "Ever since the media found out who I was,this is what I have to go through now." Breyana told her friend. "Man Brey, I don't know if I could handle it. I'd feel like I was being stalked or something." "Well, I guess I'm gonna have to get used to it. This is life with AJ." Breyana told Lynn. "Come on, we are going to have to sneak out the back". Breyana grabbed Lynn by the hand and cautiously peaked out the door to make sure nobody was there. They ran as fast as they could to Lynn's car and assumed nobody saw them. "Whew, we made it" Lynn said to Breyana. "I hope so, there have been numerous times when AJ thought he got away from the press but to no avail, they always found him." Breyana responded. What Breyana and Lynn didn't know was that someone did see them get into Lynn's car and was following them.
"AJ wait, I'm gonna go with you" Nick shouted as he ran after AJ. "Why" AJ casually asked Nick. "Is it a crime to want to hang with you? Ever since Breyana came on tour we haven't spent much time hanging out like we used to, I just figured now would be cool." Nick thought he did a good job of covering the real reason he was following AJ. "Did Brian put you up to this Nick?" AJ asked. "Put me up to what? What are you talking about?" Nick tried to sound puzzled. "Nevermind. Yeah, I guess it's cool, go grab some stuff and meet me on the bus." AJ told Nick. As Nick went to go pack some stuff he passed Brian and let him know that he would keep an eye on AJ. Brian was relieved. "Good job Nicky" Brian said as he patted Nick on the shoulder. As AJ borded the bus he heard a familiar voice shout to him...."Hey sexy, back here". It was Susan. They breifly dated before the tour started but things became to complicated for her with AJ's flirtatious ways. "Hey" AJ replied in a glum kind of way. "What's wrong with you today" Susan questioned. "Are you sure you want to know?" AJ replied. "Yeah, why wouldn't I"? Susan questioned. "Well, it's about Breyana. I miss her terribly, but yet I'm infuriated with her. I came over here hoping to get my mind off of her." AJ told Susan. "Well, I don't know what you had in mind AJ, but I like Breyana and I refuse to be part of any scheme you might try to pull." "Excuse me Susan, but you misunderstood, I didn't come over here looking for a "good time", I just want someone to talk to you..is that wrong?" "Sorry AJ it's just that your track record isin't perfect when it comes to relationships although I give you a pat on the back for the past year with Breyana. AJ felt good about himself after hearing that. He decided that he wasn't going to put himself in any compromising positions and go back to the bus with the rest of the guys.
Breyana and Lynn finally reached their destination. The parking lot for the club was packed. After driving around for 10 minutes, they finally found a spot. The reporter made sure he remained unseen. He waited 5 minutes before he entered the club after Breyana. Once Breyana and Lynn were inside they found their seats and got comfy. Lynn decided she wanted something to drink and asked Breyana if she wanted anything. "Just a coke please" Breyana replied. "Come on Brey, loosen up. Your here to forget about AJ for now "remember"??!! Lynn shot back. "I don't drink, you know that Lynn. Why would you even try to get me to drink after what happened last time." The last time Breyana drank, she ended up sick for days. After that she vowed never to do it again. "Can't blame a girl for trying can you?" Lynn retorted. While Lynn was at the bar getting their drinks, someone approached Breyana. "Breyana, it's been awhile." A man by the name of Kyle was standing in front of her. Kyle and Breyana were co-workers and often went on lunch dates together. "Kyle, how have you been." Breyana responded. Meanwhile the reporter made himself comfortable in the background but made sure he could get clear shots of Breyana from where he was sitting. Kyle sat down next to Breyana and starting talking. "What happened to you Breyana? One day you are at work the next day they said you took a leave of absense to tour with some guy you hooked up with. I thought we were somewhat of an item?" Kyle wasted no time getting to the point. "Kyle, how could you think we were an item. All we ever did was go out to lunch and talk on the phone." Breyana didn't want to admit that she at one point started to have feelings for Kyle but then she met AJ and things worked out for them instead. "So where is your boyfriend?" Kyle asked Breyana. "Well, he is on his way to Orlando. I will be joining him tomorrow night. This is my last night home. As of tomorrow I will be moving there." Breyana couldn't believe what she heard come out of her mouth. At that moment it was clear that she made up her mind. Kyle felt a tinge of jealousy at what Breyana had just told him. Seeing her again was difficult for him. "Breyana can I be honest with you?" Kyle asked. "Sure" Breyana replied. Kyle went on to say.... "I've had feelings for you for some time now. I don't think I want to see you screw up your life by living with someone who can offer you no stability." The whole time Kyle was talking to Breyana he was holding her hand. The reporter was having a field day taking pictures of it all. "You know your life will no longer be private. Everything you do will be in the media. Is that what you want for yourself? How will you have a stable home when you will be on the road constantly or at least "he" will be." Kyle finished what he had to say and just stared at Breyana waiting for a respose. "Kyle, what are your intentions here? You know that I am happy. I'm sorry that things didn't work out between us. Just know that I can take care of myself." Just as Breyana finshed what she had to say to Kyle, Lynn returned with their drinks. "Hey Kyle, what are you doing here?" Lynn inquired. "Oh, just trying to persuade Breyana to dance with me" Kyle lied. He knew that Lynn would basically force Breyana out on the dance floor. "Breyana you better get your butt out on that dance floor before I hurt you." Lynn said as she nudged Breyana out of her seat. Breyana thought what could one dance hurt, so she decided to quit being a bore and danced with Kyle.
