"Yanna! Katie! Proceed to the front." Mr. Emmanuel said and then Yanna and I, immediately proceeded at the front of the boat.
"A little bit clingy to Katie, Yanna please, for publicity." Ms. Cindy said and then gave Yanna the selfie stick and we took some photos.
"Are we shooting the vlog today? Not yet right?" Yanna said.
"Yeah we're not yet shooting it today but can't you see your fans? They're around and there are a lot of media here, some artist fron different management are also here." Ms. Cindy said but then I go to my safe place, they will not say anything when I am with Enrique.
"Babe, can I get a kiss?" I loudly asked but my tone is sweet.
"I didn't expect to be become that sweet." He said while silently laughing and kissed me on my forehead.
"So sweet! Oh my gosh! Can't you feel it guys? The ants are biting us!" My stylist said and we just laughed, I slowly leaned into Enrique's chest.
"Are you tired?" He asked.
"No." I answered and hugged him.
One hour.... Two hours... Three hours...
I woke up.
"Quen, where are we?" I asked because we are in a super dark place.
"We don't know Katie but the team are finding ways for us to get out of here." He said and when I looked around, I saw the 2 staffs of Majesty, Sir Emmanuel, Ms. Cindy, Yanna Lanelle, Alexandria and one child star. A total of 9 person.
"Kate, we entered a cave and then when were looking for a way out, we couldn't find it, so we came back at the entrance and it was also locked." He said.
"Where is our boat?" I asked.
"It already sinks, the sea are so deep Katie." He said.
"How did you bring me here?" I asked because we are in the top of the rock formation.
"I carried you." He answered.
"It was cold here." I said while I'm hugging my own self.
"Here, use this." He gave me a blanket and cover me with that.
"Thanks." I said.
"Enrique, could I borrow your blanket? It was so cold here, you said you bought 2 blankets right?" Ate Alexandria said and then Quen immediately looked at me.
"I only have 1 blanket here cause the another one was borrowed by Katie." He said and ate Alexandria rolled her eyes.
"But you said it was for me right?" Ate Alexandria raised her brows.
"Yes but I thought you don't need anymore so I just gave it to Katie." Enrique said, I get the blanket who's wrapped with me and fold it and gave to Ate Alexandria.
"Here, I don't need it anymore." I said and she get it and leave without any words.
"Katie, why did you do that?" Enrique asked.
"The conversation will take long if we don't gave her the blanket." I said.
"But you're the one will feel cold." He concernly said.
"I'm okay my dear." I said and get my bag, I have a heater here because I came from a country who have winter season so I always have these.
"Guys, you need some?" I said and offer them my extra heater, it was small because that's the new technology of Canada, kuya gave me that.
"Thank you Katie, you are truly a blessing to us." Sir Emmanuel said.
"You are also a blessing on me Sir." I said and smiled.
"Give each another one by one." Sir Emmanuel said.
"It's okay Sir, I don't need it anymore." Alexandria said but Sir Emmanuel insisted.
"But Alexandria, we might get stuck here until tomorrow because it's already late afternoon, you might need it." Sir Emmanuel said.
"I'm okay sir, don't worry that much." She said so Sir Emmanuel just shook his head. Frustrated.
"Why is her attitude like that?" I asked Enrique.
"It's because of her parents, they abandoned her." Enrique answered.
"Where singing competition did she came from?" I asked.
"She didn't came from a singing competition, her video is viral on the social media platforms, and then she got her spotlight." Enrique told me.
"But she sings well right? Even though she didn't came from a singing competition." I said.
"Yeah, she sings very well." Enrique answered.
"You seems so proud of her. Isn't it?" I asked then raised my brows.
"I am more proud to you than her." He said.
"Katie, thank you." I immediately smiled because of the voice I heard.
"You are so welcome Yanna Lanelle." I said and she hugged me.
"I miss you friend." She said while caressing my back.
"You already recognized me?" I asked.
"Yeah, I read some of the articles I downloaded last night." She said.
"You are Megan Katerina Romero Estidola Faulkner, but your screen name is Katie Megan Romero. Romero came from your mom's middle name when she still don't have husband, and when you grew up in Calgary, my home town, we live in the same village right?" She cheerfully asked.
"I'm sorry if my attitude are like that in the past few days, I just have trust issues." She said and I nodded.
"I understand, I also have trust issues some times." I said then we jumped.
"You're friends now?" Enrique asked.
"We are friends even before Enrique Louis Mikaelle Salazar." Yanna said and raised her brows.
"You are too harsh Lanelle, you even mentioned my full name." Enrique said while pouting.
"You're full name are a way better that mine though." Yanna said.
"Right Megan Katerina? Haha!" She asked while softly laughing.
"It is Katie Megan haha." I said.
"Oh Alexandria, wanna join us?" Yanna offered Alexandria but she did not even bothered to answer.
"Attitude pss." Yanna whispered.
"Can we don't judge her? Maybe she have some problems that's why she is like that." I said.
"She is always like that, since she first step her foot on the office of Majesty, she is so boastful, though she didn't won any competition on TV, her video just went viral." Yanna complained.
"Maybe no one make her feel that she was loved so she's doing that, she's trying super hard just to get there. Right guys?" I said.
"But that was not an enough reason Katie." Yanna insisted.
"I will take care of this issue, promise." I said and Yanna leave us, so Enrique could finally talk to me.
"Why are you like that? You always see situations in a positive way? Why is your thinking like that?" He curiously asked.
"Because my parents teach me how to love."
"Because everybody needs someone who understand them, because someone deserves a second chance, everybody deserved to be loved." I said.
"I will do anything and everything just to fill that emptiness in her heart." I added.
"But we know that you're love can't filled it up, even my love for her can't." He said.
"I will try my best, Quen." I said and we both looked at ate Alexandria. She seems so broke. I can be anyone's friend, if they want, and if they didn't like me, it's okay.
But I will keep trying my best because I know she needs a person like me because all of the persons in Majesty don't like her, and doesn't even care for her.
Only Mr. Emmanuel and me care for her.
When we finally get out of the cave, I was so happy. We can finally go home. And sleep but before we sleep Yanna suggested to have a Truth or Dare game, it was spin the bottle."We're going to play spin the lucky bottle, and if who are the bottle tip pointing into will answer the question, okay?" Yanna explained and she immediately spinned the bottle."Okay Alexandria, truth or dare?" Yanna asked, I know that this girl have a plans to Ate Alexandria"Truth." Alexandria said."Okay, did you feel angry with Katie earlier?" Yanna asked and sarcastically laugh a little."Dare, instead." Alexandria said."Okay, could you kiss Enrique and slapped the girl you most hate in this circle." Alexandria immediately stand up and kiss Quen on his cheeks.I was so nervous because for all I is she was mad at me, maybe she's going to slapped me, but that thinking stopped when she came near to Yanna and slapped her 180°."I thought it was Kat
"Katie." I looked at my back again because I just noticed that there is someone calling for my name again."Why?" I asked him."Before we left Palawan, can I tell something to you today? Promise me that after this our treatment for each other will be the same again, okay?" He said so I just nodded."Okay." I said."I l-like y-you." He said and he immediately looked a way, seems like a shy boy."W-what?" I asked him back, even though I already feel it few days ago, I was still shock."I like you." He said again."Thank you?" I don't know what to say, is it good for me to say thank you to him for liking me? I think yes."Thank you?" He asked."Yes. Thank you for liking me." I said then I finally stood on the airplane, we are finally coming back into Manila. I totally miss my Little Kiko."Katie. Here is for you." I look at my back because Yanna called me."What's that?" I asked her."A fancy necklace f
"Katie, come! Let's drink some." My friend from Canada who just came here in the Philippines offered me a glass of tequila."Oh I'm sorry Gelli but I'm still not drinking liquor, that was bad for the health." I said and she laughed. What was funny in what I actually say? Is it bad to care for my health? For our health?"Katie, you are too childish. Here. Try it." She gave me that already so I don't have a choice. They might said that I'm a Kill Joy person."Why does it tastes like this? It's hot! It doesn't taste well!" I said and she gave me a lemon."It's Tequila, and this one is Black Label." Gelli said."Why does many people like liquor even if it doesn't taste so well?" I asked her and she laughed, until a man came at me."Katie." That was a familiar voice."Why are here? Are you stalking me? Don't stalk me anymore! I am not interested on you." I shout and everyone on the party screams."Just find another women Nickanor." The other guy sa
"Can you please behave Katie?" He raised his voice on me when we came back to my condo unit."I am not doing anything wrong Enrique!" I answered."Yes, you are not doing anything. The vape? It is bad for your voice." He said."My voice is none of your business!" I shouted."But you are my business Katie, please. If we have problems, let's fix it. I can't lose you." He said and cornered me on the wall."You will never lose me because I'm not yours." I said and I was about to get out if his arms but he hold my wrist."Katie. From now on. You are mine." He said and I froze."W-what?" I asked him. I'm nervous."You are mine, can't you undestand that?" He said."Okay?" He asked."I a-am y-yours." I said and he let me go."We belong with each other so I have rules, is it okay to you?" I nodded."My first rule is don't go out with Gelli, she is just taking you anywhere to have a companion in drinking wines, isn't it?" I nodded.
"Quen, can I still join there?" I asked my boyfriend because I saw that there was an audition in the TV Channel."You already join there the previous year right?" He asked."Yeah, but I believe in a perfect timing, maybe this is the right time for me. I still wanna try Quen." I said."Okay, I'm the host of that contest Katie. So you are going to studio in what day?" He asked."When I am done with my tasks in the theatre production office, and I will tell them that I'll join so they wouldn't be surprised if they saw me on T.V." I said while smiling."I recommend, don't tell them Kate. Let them be surprised if they saw you on the T.V competition." Quen said."Why? I still signed a contract to them right? So they deserve to know." I insisted."Katie, they didn't explain the contract to you? Your contract was only for the Aleiahe and Alleana Musical. Not for the entire year, you can go out anytime you wanted to go. They didn't handled you
"Where are we going Katie, there are so many people here." Gabby said as I pulled her hands.I'm auditionee number 197, I get here so early but the studio opened 9 AM, the batch 18 is inside the studio, I belong to the batch 19, 10 Persons per batch.There are three rounds for the audition, first is solo, second round is you're going to sing with the the other 9 participants, and the third audition will happen in the TV, we have coaches."It's audition Gabby, you wanna audition too?" I smiled."Huh? Why? You're rising gem of theatre already huh, why are you still auditioning?" She asked."I want to have a name in the Philippine Music Industry, I didn't want a super big name, just enough fame Gab." I smiled."Okay, okay, wait. I'll just sign up. If I didn't see you anymore, I will fall in line, okay? I love you." She ran into the office, she's getting a form and her number, when batch 19 was called, I was so nervous.When we entered the room, we san
I was so fcking nervous because it's the blind auditions day, all of the episodes are showing up in the TV, I'm afraid that the coaches will not turn on me."Water, Ms. Romero." The staff handed me a bottle of mineral water, wow. A free water.I just sat here in front because I couldn't find my batch mates, Crystal, Shaina and Alexis. And even my best friend."Oh! Katie! Glad you're here, can I sat beside you?" Crystal hugged me, I was not surprise that she's here, her voice is so good."Yeah, sure. We're now 2 from the batch, who's the one that was chosen also?" She asked."I don't know, but hopefully it's Alexis." I said, I just like her aura, blissful."Oh! I think, we need to come in Kate." She said, I stood up."It's blind auditions, who do you gonna choose if you are a four chair turner?" She asked."I still like Mommy Sha to be my coach, but I know there's a theatre people in the choices." I said before we enter the room."Romero,
"Quen, when will you come here?" I asked him while on the call, I miss him so much, I haven't seen him for over 2 weeks, the auditions period are already done."Sorry babe, I'm with Alex. We have an upcoming concert. I can't go in your condo this week." He said, a deep sigh burse our of me."It's always like that Quen, it's always like that." I said before turning off the call, I don't wanna cry so I'm just sleeping, maybe it will ease the pain that I'm feeling right now.It's already midnight when I woke up because I felt a heavy feeling on my chest, and there was a force that keep controlling my lips to move.He's kissing me!Should I got afraid right? But I am not, my love is here, Quen is here."I'm now here Babe." He said and kissed me again, I get up so he stopped kissing me."I miss you." I said before hugging him."I missed you too Katie, sorry if I didn't check on you the previous weeks." He said and wiped out his tear
"Ms. Katie, what can you say about the rumors about you, Enrique, and Alexandria? It says there that you are the real girlfriend of Mr. Salazar."I almost froze when the media started asking me, where did they get those again? I and Enrique are not hanging out together in one place anymore, how come?Hotseat. Again."Where did you get all of this news?" I asked back, thinking if I will answer them the right answer."One person from our team have recorded you, you actually say there..." she paused for a while before playing that damn recording."Why does it seems that I am the villain on Alex and Enrique's team up? They're not even together. Why me? I am not the person to blame here and if we're gonna blame a person, it's Alex. She ruined my relationship with Enrique for that fucking publicity!"WHAT THE F*CK? IT'S REALLY MY VOICE! WHO THE HELL RECORDED THAT? I KNOW THAT IT WASN'T NICKO."Oum... I guess it's just edited... Because I don't know where
"Hi, Katie." I look at my back because some bitches called my name. They're three, one of them is Alex"Oh, hello! Are they your friends?" I asked her. I can control my mouth but cannot control my facial expressions."Yes, this one is Belle and this one is Daphne." She paused for a while."Hi Katie, it's so nice to meet you." The 2 girls said and I just smiled, after a few minutes they left, so I got into the rehearsal hall."Hey, Katie!" I saw Enrique standing in front of me."Oh hi," I just smiled lightly and then get a microphone."When did your love for me starts to fade away...All the love you've shown me, are they all just lies?Why didn't you tell me that there is someone else?It's me that you needed but not the whom you love..."I just sang it in a cappella and Enrique noticed it."Is that your song in the Knockout rounds? Who are you competing with?" He asked."It's a new song that I found on YouTube and the lyri
"Katie!" A loud voice enter my system before I felt that I fall on the ground, but the ground is soft, my body fall also on a body."N-Nicko?" I was slowly finding my self because of the noise that enter my system few minutes ago."If you have problems solve it on your own. DO.NOT.MAKE.ME.A.CRIMINAL!" The man on the van said and left us on the street."What's wrong, Katie?" He asked and helped me to stand up."Why does it seems that I am the villain on Alex and Enrique's team up? They're not even together. Why me? I am not the person to blame here and if we're gonna blame a person, it's Alex. She ruined my relationship with Enrique for that fucking publicity!""Kate... Let's just go... There are a lot of people here." He gave me a mask and take me on his car."Why are you here? Are you following me?" I asked while he was starting his car."I know this cases on the showbiz people Katie, there are a lot of Actor and Actresses experiencing this and so
"Good Morning, Katie and Alex!" Our manager greeted us with a whole smile, it's awkward."Good Morning, Sir!" We also greeted him back, I want to scream here! I am not comfortable yet!"I know what's going on with the two of you right now, so let's call Enrique. Quen, come in." I saw my ex boyfriend came out of the small room inside Sir Emmanuel's office."Kate... Alex... Sir Emmanuel." His baritone voice filled the room, he sat beside me. I wanted to shout!"Talk to them Enrique." Sir Emmanuel said."Sir Emmanuel, I thought you are only talking to me and Alex. This was not included in the memo that I received few days ago." I said."No, no Katie. I didn't say everything on the memo because I know that you will never come if I told you that Enrique will be here, right? But anyways, talk to each other first because the press are going to arrived in a few minutes. I'll be back." He said.Again, Mr. Emmanuel left me with no choice, this is so awkward,
Jane and I gave a wonderful performance, the audience have agreed that this was the best battles performances this season."Wow! Wow! Wow! Katie and Jane! You are so great, I hope this round will have a steal deal! What a performance guys!" Quen said and came closer to me."Jane, what can you say about your fans?" Quen asked Jane."I just wanna say thank you to all of them for coming here, I really appreciate them." That was a short but sweet message."How about you Katie?" He asked."Uhm, I just want to tell them that I also appreciate them, I love them and thank you for all of there support." I smiled."And now, you're done thanking your fandoms, let's go to the coaches." Quen said."Sha, could you choose Jane? So that I can steal Katie from you, please." Coach Lani said and I just laughed, Jane was also laughing."Coach Sha, please. So that we can get Katie from you." Coach Xiah said."Hey, could you please stop, let's start our commen
"Yanna, thank you for taking care of me and Kiko for last night, I really appreciate it." I said and hugged her, she's about to leave... No, were about to leave and I'm bringing Kiko on the studio, he's just going to stay at Mama Sha's dressing room because Mama requested for Kiko."Of course Katie, anytime. Would you mind to be on the management today with me for only 30 minutes?" She asked."Even if it's only for 15 minutes, I will not go with you, Alex was there." I said."Aw, I know that feeling Katie, I love you always, I love you. I'll go to your studio Love, I'll watch, what are you going to do? Are the battles starting today?" She asked."Yes, that's why I am nervous." I said."Nervous of the other contestants or nervous because you are fresh from break up and you're gonna see your ex in that place, am I right Megan Katerina?" She asked."Of course not, I can still breathe in the same air he breathes." I said and she laughed, after that, she take us into th
"Artists, please proceed on the back stage." The staffs said so me and my other team mates proceeded on the on back stage, I know we're shooting a VTR. "Katie." I heard Quen's PA calling me. "Why?" I came towards him. "Kuya Quen was waiting for you on his dressing room, the show will not start if he's not around. So please go on his dressing room now Ate Katie." He said, I believe him so I ran into Quen's dressing room. "What do you need? Why are you looking for me?" I asked him coldly. "Why are you with Nickanor the night before last night?" He asked. "Are that going to fix our problem if I told you the reason why I am with him?" I asked him back, that sound sarcastic. "Hey Katie! Please do some effort here, please." He said and then I slapped him. "I was doing an effort Enrique, but you're not seeing it, because you are always with your Alex. You are always with her." I said. "I am with her because, it was wor
"You will be singing Masterpiece by Jessie J."My eyes widened because of it, that was my favorite song and I really know how to sang that well."Here is your copy Jane, and this one is for you Katie." Mommy Sha said and give us the piece of papers."So much pressure, why so loud. If you don't like my sound, you can turn it down. I gotta roll, and I walk it alone." Jane read the first verse, she seems not familiar on the song."Your turn baby." Mommy Sha said."Uphill battle, I look good when I climb. I'm ferocious, precocious. I get braggadocios, I'm not gonna stop, I like the view from the top." I sang it, I know what the tune was e."Okay, both of you did well. Jane sweetheart, I recommend if you would use your higher voice please. And you Katie, you're accent is perfect for the song, Masterpiece. And please Katie, don't make it sound like on a musical theatre because I heard it earlier. That's all. Could you sing it again." Mommy Sha said.We s
"Hey Katie, I missed you." His baritone voice filled the condo but I just keep on staring at him, don't even like to threw just one word to him."Uy, I'm here already, what will you sing on the battle rounds?" He get my notebook so I shouted."Give it back to me." I coldly said."Hey, what's your problem? What happened?" He asked again, don't really know huh?"Ask yourself if what is the problem." I said before he give back my notebook."I don't know Katie, I've explained everything to you right? So what's this all about? Let's fix this." He said, after a while we just heard my hands hitting his face."Could please stop playing with me Enrique? I know everything, you know that I was in Pampanga the concert night, but it wasn't true, I was on your concert! I witnessed everything Quen, everything!" I said while crying and holding the flower vase."So you mean?" He's buffering."Yeah, the way you make your audience to feel the kilig, I was hurt E
