"Katie..." I almost shout when I heard a sudden noise inside my room and when I open my eyes, I was shocked.
"Mom..." I happily said while getting up into my bed and hug them one by one, kuya is here too.
"Dad..."
"Kuyaaa." I shouted because he spin me again on the air.
"Larry... Stop it." Daddy said so Kuya Larry put me into bed.
"Have you eat breakfast? Come, I will cook for you." I proudly said but Kuya just laugh.
"You know how to cook?" He asked while still laughing.
"Of course Kuya! I know how to cook! I'm not like you duuhh!" I ran into the kitchen but there's already a food on the table.
"Let's have our breakfast my babies." Mommy said and then we sat on the table, kuya lead the prayer.
"Kuya and me are going to the freedom park later." I said then Mommy looks curious.
"Where is the freedom park Katie?" Mommy asked.
"Quezon City, beside the mall, the one who have bus station." I said and then Mom know where is it already.
"Aww, I'm so proud of you... You know how to walk alone here baby." Kuya sarcastically said and then he laughed.
"Why do you keep on bullying me?!" I shouted but he just smiled and eat his breakfast, Mom was beside me and he just can't help herself from laughing.
"Mommy, kuya oh." I shout then kuya ran, good thing Kiko barked.
"Mommy." Kuya scarely said.
"You have dog already Katie?" Mommy asked.
"Yuh, I bought him last week, he's so cute right. He's the one who am I reffering too when we got our video call." I said then carry my little Kiko, I make him face Kuya, so Kuya ran. Afraid of little dogs.
"Kuya, he's not biting you, come here." I said as he walk slowly towards us and little Kiko.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah, just hold him here." I just pointed my fingers on his back.
"I'll go to Mommy." I said then get inside Mom and Dad's room.
"Mommy." I sweetly called her.
"My Princess, come, Mommy's taking a bath." Daddy said so I come near him.
"Daddy, I miss you." I said then hugged him.
"Me too baby, how do you spend your everyday life here?" Daddy asked and then I smiled."I spend my day here in rehearsing new songs, reading lines from the play, promoting on TV and vlogging." I told him
."Oh my goodness! I am so proud of you." He said before Mom get out of the bathroom."Katie." Mommy called me.
"Mommy, I'm so happy that you are here." I said then hugged her too.
"Yuh but we will only stay here for 2 weeks, just for your play baby." She said then I feel a little bit sad.
"I feel sad." I said.
"Yuh, we know but that's only the alloted time our bosses gave us." Mommy said then she caressed my back.
"Haayy, okay. I'm going to treasure this 2 weeks instead." I said then hugged them both.
"Mom, you want to come with me and kuya in Freedom Park later?" I asked them, it's more fun when we're complete.
"How me and you Dad want to but you need to spend time with your brother only, we can go out on some other time." Mommy thought me the importance of having time with your other sibling.
"Kuya, let's go." I shouted then my little puppy come to me.
"Wait a minute. I'm going to change my clothes." He said while me, I put a light makeup.
"Katie... Do you have schedule today?" Gabrielle asked while we're talking on the phone.
"Ah yeah, my family is here." I said.
"Oh my god! Can I come later?" She asked me.
"Yuh! Of course." I said.
"I'm not going to bother you today, I'll promote alone and then come over your condo at night." I thanked her cause she's not going to bother me today, Direct gave us a break but didn't say that we have a lot of promotions to be done.
"Kuya." I called my brother, he sprayed a perfume and fix his hair.
"You're so feeling handsome." I said then laughed.
"Arrghh! You're so attitude Katie Megan." He said then he pouted.
"Stop that face, you're not cute with that!" I said then we finally go out of my condo.
"Katie, you have boyfriend?" He asked then I looked at him.
"I don't have, why Kuya?" I asked him.
"Nothing. I'm just curious. I saw in the news you are linked with your talent producer named Nicko Balbuena." He said and my eyes get wide because of it.
"Whut?" I asked in frustration.
"I said your linked with your talent producer." He repeated.
"No, I mean, where and when did you get that news?" I scarely said, what if something happened again? Am I not going to continue my career? No! I love being a theatre actress.
"Today, a little bit earlier, I guess 6 in the morning." He said as we walk towards the park.
"It's not true. We just shoot a vlog yesterday. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less." I said then we sat on the bench.
"How about you and Enrique?" He asked and then I rolled my eyes.
"Do we have a relationship in the past? I guess no." I said then he pitch my nose.
"You're so cute, come I'll buy an ice cream for you." He said then come near the ice cream vendor.
"Here is for you, and here is for me." He said then handed me a cone of ice cream.
"Thank you Kuya. So sweet of you." I said then he just smiled.
"Of course, you're my only sister so I love you." He said.
"You kuya, do you have girl?" I asked and then he smirked.
"You're blushing." I said then laugh.
"Yeah, I have." He confidently said.
"Really? What's her name?" I asked.
"She is Celina, she's a guitarist on a famous band on Canada." He said, I guess we're going to fit with each other.
"Oh! That's nice! Introduce her to me! I excitedly said.
"Yah! Sure!"
"Can you tell me some spoiler on your new play?" Kuya asked me.
"How I want to but I'm so sorry Kuya... I can't." I said because that's the number one rule on the play we cannot tell our family what's happening on the play.
"Okay... I understand, who are you on the play?" He asked.
"I'm Princess Alleana." I responded.
"And Princess Aleiahe?" He asked.
"My friend.... Gabrielle." I said.
"I want to meet her. I like her name." He said then I hit his arms.
"Hey! I thought you have a girl in Canada?" I asked.
"Yeah. But I only want Gabrielle to be my friend, that's all Katie, can you do that favor for Kuya?" He asked.
"Okay, I'll do it, but please behave when you met her." I said.
"Yes, I'll behave."
"Ms. Katie, can we ask you something?" A press come near me with a lots of camera, I just smiled before they ask questions."Yeah, sure." I replied."Ms. Katie, what can you say about the news last night?" They asked, I don't have any idea of the news last night cause I slept early."I watched many news last night, which of it?" I asked them."That you and Mr. Nicko Balbuena are already dating, is it true?" I don't know what I'm going to say first, I'm nervous.When I was about to open my mouth my phone vibrated and it was a text message from my manager.'Just admit it.' Saying on the text."Yes, we're already dating." I said out of nervousness."Aw, since when Ms. Katie?" They asked again."Since we started the rehearsal of the play." I answered."Thank you for entertaining our questions Ma'am, we hope that your play will earn a lot." They said before leaving, I madly ran in our dressing room. We have rehearsals,
"Hi Mom, hi Dad." I greeted my parents when I got home, Gabrielle and Enrique are with me."Oh Katie, you're here." Mommy happily said while I'm holding Enrique's hands."Hi Tito, Hi Tita." They said."Enrique, you're so handsome now compared before." Mommy playfully said and laugh."Of course Tita, I'm getting handsome and handsome every year." Enrique proudly said."Oum, Mom, Dad, Kuya." I call then one by one."Yes?" They responded."This is Enrique, my boyfriend." I said then all of them was shocked."For real?" Mommy asked."What about the news, about you dating with Nicko Balbuena?" Mommy added."The rumors are not true, the true is Enrique and I have a relationship for over 3 months." I said, I was so nervous on this idea of introducing Enrique as my fake boy friend."Is this serious?" Daddy asked."Yeah Katie, I was wondering if this is serious, I know you're good at pranking us." Mommy said.
"Ms. Cindy, Mr. Emmanuel, this is Katie Megan Romero. The Newbreed Theater Actress of this generation." Enrique introduced me and then I shaked with their hands one by one."Have a seat Ms. Romero." Mr. Emmanuel said."Thanks Sir." I responded."Ms. Cindy is the artist handler and Mr. Emmanuel will be your manager." Enrique said."I am super excited to be handled by them." I said as Mr. Emmanuel and Ms. Cindy are slowly nodding their heads."You're adorable." Mr. Emmanuel said."Thank you Sir." I responded immediately."I think you will really fit with Yanna Lanelle, we are going to have a small online show for you." I know Yanna Lanelle very much, she's my childhood friend and I hope she still knows me."She's my childhood friend Mr. Emmanuel." I said."Oh, really?" He asked."Yah! But I don't know if she still knows me, she became very famous already." I said then a familiar voice just get in."Hi Sir Emm
"Katie..." I opened the door of my room when I heard a familiar voice. He's here again."What do you need?" I asked annoyed as I opened my bedroom door."Let's talk. Take this, it's my peace offering to you." He showed me a box of cake that he bought maybe on the bake shop downstairs."We don't have anything to talk about. Go home." I said and when I was about to close the door, he suddenly cried."What happened to you?" I asked."Forgive me, please." He said and give me an amen sign."Give me some reasons to forgive you Enrique." I said.My family are not here because they're buying tickets, me too, I'm going to leave the condo later at night for tomorrow is the big day."I will be very good to you this coming days and I promise I will never make a reason for you to be mad. I am sorry." He said."Okay. Then better be good." I said then I finally go out of my room, I couldn't eat the cake for now because it's too sweet.
"Katie. Here is our breakfast then we're going to the hall to have a rehearsals." Gabrielle informed me while she was holding the tray of my breakfast, I was already awake for over 2 hours but I'm nervous for the play later."Are you nervous?" She asked and I just nodded. What if in the middle of the play my voice didn't make the sound right?"Yes. Super." I answered."That's exactly what I feel when it was my first time doing a musical, it's okay to feel that Katie, it's okay, but when you are on stage, just enjoy because when youre enjoying what do you do, everything will follow." She said before leaving me.But before I eat, I checked my phone and there was a message from Mommy, Nicko and Enrique.First one is from Nicko. 'Hi Katie, I hope you are awake, I just want to wish luck for you late.' Hmmm... Nothing serious.Second one is from Enrique. 'Hi Babe, don't forget to eat your breakfast, when do you need something just knock at the doo
"Ms. Katie, this is your set of clothes for the shoot later." My staff said and left the clothes on the cabinet.I don't have an assistant before but Mr. Emmanuel and Ms. Cindy told me to find someone who can assist me in tapings."Thank you Arielle." I said then she smiled before leaving, I'm waiting for my make-up artist right now and I am too early. I camed from the airport cause my family already come back to Canada this morning, I'm left again."Hi Katie." My eyes get widened because of the voice that I heard."Yanna? Why? Is there something wrong? " I asked her because out of nowhere she came inside my dressing room."Nothing Kate, I just want to come over here." She said and sat beside me."Yanna, do you still remember our bondings when we ere kids?" I asked her, maybe she could remember me, I miss Yanna Lanelle so much."Oum, I'm sorry Katie but no, I couldn't remember anything about us anymore." She said that makes me sad."I understand." I deeply si
"Hi Gabrielle." I immediately greeted my best friend when I saw her, she's always like this, waiting for me on the door or on the gate."Katie, glad you're already here. Let's go." She said and lead me towards our table, we only have 3 circle table inside, the room was filled by 24 people, 6 main casts, 8 extras, 3 producers, 5 writers and 2 directors and other restaurant staffs."Have a seat Katie." Nicko offered me a chair and then I just smiled, I still get his offer."How are you? It's been a while since we talked." He said."I'm fine. I'm already fine even without you." I said and when I was about to leave he pulled my arms back into the chair."Why are you so mad at me Katie? You are the one who admitted it right? I was here to support you in that but what did you do? You left your talent agency, you left our company." He said."I left because my manager told me to admit but when I was about to hold it back, she said that it can no longer be back!
"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."
"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

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
