Everybody Has a Secret
Chapter 3
I stepped out of my limo as
Ron opened the door for me. I smiled and said “thank
you.” I was never going to be that spoiled famous girl
that took everything she had for granted. Nuh-uh, not
me.
I was immediately touched by how many fans were waiting outside
the stadium for me. The only good thing to come out of this
chosen life was them; they were what made it worth it. I
swiftly walked up and down the aisle, signing as many
autographs and taking as many pictures with the fans shouting
my name as I could.
“Jayna, we really have to go!” Lilah said, more
like shouted, in my ear. It was so loud- the volume
hadn’t wavered one bit.
I nodded and followed her inside, smiling to the rest of the
fans. As soon as we walked in, the loud shouts immediately
quieted, muffled by the doors. I followed Lilah through the
door marked “Employees Only” and down a long
stairwell. We continued walking down a narrow corridor and
turned a corner.
Greeting me was everyone on the tour- dancers, singers,
backstage and sound workers, everybody. And then, there was my
mother. “Jayna!” She squealed, running up to me. I
tried to smile, but it came out more like a grimace.
“Honey, this is Will Clayton, the new security detail I
was telling you about,” she continued, motioning to a guy
standing a few feet to her left.
I almost had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Thankfully I
realized how much of an idiot I looked like and managed to
cover up my little staring issue. Will had dark brown hair that
lightly brushed his cheekbones, framing his intense, green
eyes. He was in black jeans, high tops, a white button-down
shirt and a black blazer.
“Hi,” he said, smiling. His teeth literally glowed.
How the hell did a guy so perfect exist?
“Hey. I’m Jayna,” I said, extending my
hand.
“I’m Will,” he said, grabbing my hand with
his and shaking it. I felt a quick spark run from my hand up my
arm and make my heart speed up to an irregular tempo. What.
The. Hell. “A.k.a your personal escort,” he
continued, winking quickly.
I laughed. “And I appreciate it,” I said, smiling
even wider.
“Okay, Will, Jayna. You two will have more time to flirt
later. Jayna, go get dressed, and then you have vocal warm-ups.
Will, go check in with Matt, the head of security. He’ll
make sure you know what to do,” my mom
intervened.
I saw him roll
his eyes quickly and turn back to my mom, smiling. “Sure
thing, Mrs. Starr,” he replied to my mom. “See you
in a bit, Jayna,” he turned back to me. Then he smoothly
turned on his heel and sauntered off.
Will’s
P.O.V.
Of course, the one normal job I got from Roger just so happened
to be with the most beautiful girl on the planet. Shoot me now.
Actually, that probably wouldn’t work.
Roger is the second-in-command of Code Division 3- but the
Starr’s don’t know that. He’s my boss’s
assistant, and he understands how much I want to get out of
here. For a while now, I’ve been debating if I wanted to
continue my future in CD3. There’s just one problem; I
can’t get out. And that will probably end up
killing me in the end.
comments/faves please? mean the world to me!<

Everybody Has a Secret
Chapter 2
I slammed my door shut and
turned the radio on. I began backing out when the radio station
played my new single. No, thanks. I flipped it to the country
station and sang along quietly with Taylor Swift. My home was
close to the school, so it took no time for me to get
there.
My mom, Raine, is the one that wanted all of this for me. She
was famous back in the day, but still keeps her career
“alive” with advertisements and shampoo
commercials. She knew people, and one phone call was all it
took for her to have me shipped out to live with her. She wants
to live her life through me, and I’m tired of it. I have
talent, but I never wanted this. I wanted to be a marine
biologist, but I’m done trying to tell that to
her.
I walked in through the front door and dropped my school bag on
the tile floor in the vast foyer. She had a nice place,
I’m not going to lie. I walked into the kitchen and
grabbed an apple. My mother was in head-to-toe Juicy Couture.
She was sitting at the table with my manager, Lilah, going over
the plans for the show tonight.
“Hey, superstar!” My mom squealed when I entered. I
rolled my eyes before turning around to face her.
“Hi,” I mumbled. “Hey, Lilah.” I liked
Lilah, she was sweet. But, she was a total pushover and did
whatever my mom demanded of her. So, I wasn’t going to
get any help from her in my quest to back out of the
spotlight.
She smiled at me and turned back to my mom.
“What’s
up?” I asked.
“Nothing, nothing. We were just hiring some new security
detail for you. L.A. can get a little rowdy, as I
remember,” my mom butted in. “My friend, Roger, has
a young guy in his force that he offered to us to be your
personal escort.”
“Mom, that was the ‘80s. And what do you mean,
‘force?’” I asked. Then I thought better of
it and just left the room. I ran up the stairs to my room and
fell onto my bed. God, she was just so…in your face! She
never let me have any room to breathe. I put a pillow over my
face and screamed into it.
I rolled over and set my alarm for 4:30 so I could take a quick
nap. When I woke up, feeling totally refreshed, I hopped out of
bed and brushed my hair really quickly. I walked downstairs and
saw Lilah was waiting for me. “Hey,” I said, more
calm now.
“Hey!” Her other personality was present, now that
my mom wasn’t in the room. “Your mom went ahead to
sort out the new security and lighting system. Want to go
now?” She asked.
I nodded and we headed out to the limo. Ron, the driver, opened
the door for us and we slid in. I sat back and looked out the
window as I made my way to another concert. Hopefully, this one
will be fun, I thought sarcastically.
I can't wait to add more! If I get a lot of faves,
I'll add it by tonight!<3
