Cursed by love

The day with Juliet was awesome. The half of day we were shopping. My feet were burning, and my head was in pain a little bit. But I was enjoying every second. We changed my look a little. I have shorter hair about five inches and natural color of my hair without light ombre. And a small tattoo on my wrist Angels never die. The quote from Andy´s songs and my and Katie´s sentence.
„I´ve got an idea!“ said Juliet while we were walking out the biggest mall I´ve ever been in. „What if we would go to visit Andy and your friend? Are you all in?“
„Yeah, I´m in. I think that I can´t handle another boutique.“ Juliet cachinnated. I stopped the taxi...

*Katie´s POV*
„I think I´m done!“ I victoriously shouted. Alex and Andy were doing on new video. I was working hard on performing and meetings in London. It took me three hours till I made it perfect. I joined them. „So this is your timetable. It´s complete.“ I handed it to Andy. He took a look at it. And while he was carefully reading it.
„Okay. What about time for my fans? I think the time for meetings?“
„You are here a week. Three performances. One day off and two days here. But tomorrow you have about two hours and a half for fans and one whole day if you want...“ I replied looking into papers.
„She´s amazing. Why aren´t you offer her job? I need help with this stuff. At least your manager will be out.“ Alex suggested Andy. He looked at me.
„Why not! If Katie wants to be my tour manager for one week...“
„Yes! Yes! Yes!“I yelled. Then I realized that I´m acting like a crazy girl. „Yeah, I take it!“

*Laurie´s POV*
Juliet and I were standing behind the door. She knocked, but nobody heard us.
„Yes! Yes! Yes!“ I heard Katie yelling. We both looked at each other and ran inside.
“What the hell is going there without us?!” We were shouting together. Katie was scared.
“I´ve got a job… For one week…” she shyly said. I started laughed and Juliet as well. She hugged Andy, and they kissed. I came closer to Katie and hugged her, too. “Congratulation, babe! But I´m going back tomorrow night.”
“What do you mean? I thought we always be together!”
“Yeah, I will never leave you! But Tommy booked tickets. And my parents… I am sorry!” she was looking at me so sadly. “But you know what? I´ll stay, but only six days…” we hugged again.

*Andy´s POV*
I heard their talk. What? Is she leaving with him? What´s wrong with her? It was about two o´clock. The dinnertime!
“Hey girls, don´t you hungry?”
“Yeah, I´m starving!” Katie told with big smile… But Laurie was quite sad. Why? We walked out the office and waited for the elevator. Juliet´s phone rang. She answered.
“What? Like right now? Okay, I´ll be there about ten minutes!” She turned to me and kissed my cheek. “I´m sorry Andy, but I must go to the studio. But then I´ll join you. Bye!” Juliet left.

*****
We went to the same restaurant as in the morning. Alex didn´t join us. He stayed in the office to finish some paperwork. Again perfect moment for all of us like before. The waitress brought us a menu. Katie and I were a little bit are talking. Laurie was mute. I don´t know her very long, but she wasn´t herself.
“What will you eat, Mr. Biersack?” asked me, waitress.
“That what always, please. What about you girls?”
“The Greek salad, please.” I didn´t know that Katie is vegetarian.
“And for you, honey?” Asked waitress.
“Thank you, but only a glass of water.” She told while she closed the menu. Waitress left. Katie raised her eyebrow and gave Laurie carefully look. “Aren´t you hungry? I know Juliet, and I guess it was troublesome day…” I said. But she shook her head.
“Thanks for your care, but only what I need is fresh air. I´ll be right back.”
“Is anything wrong, babe?” Asked her Katie while she was standing up.
“Don´t worry. It´s alright.” Then she walked out the restaurant.

*Laurie´s POV*
I´ve not had a craving for food. So I just left. Tomorrow I should fly back to my home. With Tommy, of course. Our second chance. But Katie´s like my sister and I can´t leave her here alone. It is too complicated. If I stay here, I will lose Tommy and if I will leave I will lose her. What will I do? I sat on a bench in the hotel garden. The sun was shining, and I was sad and troubled like never before. The biggest and the hardest decision was standing here in my way.
I didn´t realize that has passed half hour since I left the restaurant. I saw Andy coming to me slowly. I wiped my little tears. He sat next to me.
“What´s wrong with you, Laurie?” he asked with worries in his deep voice. “I can see it! Don´t hide your feelings, because it´s gonna beat you…” I looked at him. I didn´t want to tell it to him. His are unyielding, and I can´t cast them away. But his real blue eyes ensured me that he´ll keep it.
“I fixed my relationship with Tommy, and we have to fly away tomorrow. But I have Katie as well. And she wants to stay and work for you. If I do one of these things, I´ll lose someone. And I don't feel like it.”
“Isn´t it all, am I right?” It was confusing. What is he trying to say? I was starting to being upset. “What?” He looked at me and grabbed my hand.
“Don´t lie, Laurie! I know you want to stay. So tell me the real reason!”
He was right. All the time I was lying to myself and everyone.
“At home, I´ve got nothing. Hard life and misery. Here it´s different. My dreams are filling, and I have one big goal. And I´m too selfish that I want to come it true. But I also care about Tommy and Katie. And I don´t want to hurt them. I don´t know what can I do.” The truth was out. Andy hugged me.
“So tell me more about your dream…”
“I want to sing my songs for people and give the reason why don´t give up. I want to have a band and create new music. I want to do what makes me happy. Just like you…”
He stared at me. I don´t why, but I like the way he looks at me. Like he talks to me.
“And you will! I´m gonna help you…” I gasped. And I hugged him. “Thank you so much!” Then we came back inside.
