The news hit me hard when my fiance, Brandon Walter announced to me, and in front of everyone his
engagement to my sister, Chiara Rowels. On the night of 21st August, I had arrived at the Lexus club
Brandon Walter was performing his live musical concert, I had been waiting eagerly to meet with
Brandon Walter; the famous music superstar of the United States. I was filled with a sense of
uneasiness, and sorrow after reading a private email he sent to me few weeks ago on the night of our
wedding at an unpopular church in New York City.
"I'm no longer interested in having a relationship with you. I'm making you my past." My eyes widened
in stupefaction reading the first few lines, I gasped, and my hands shuddered on my phone as I read on.
Each word cut like a razor slicing through my heart, my chest tightened unable to breathe.
"I don't wanna see you, or to kiss or hold you. Forget me. Forget about us." I gulped, and in startlement,
my phone fell off my hands. I felt a surge of weakness in my whole body I almost collapsed at the floor
of the altar in my sparkling white wedding gown, and my grandmother, Anne quickly ran to me, and held
me. I
Tears streamed on my face, and my hands were shuddering at my sides in shock, "

embracing Chiara Rowels, her sister lovingly on stage. It was the 21st night of August of Brandon's
International musical concert at the Lexus club. Jia Rowels had been waiting eagerly to meet with
Brandon Walter, the famous music superstar of the United States after reading a private email he sent
to her few weeks ago, "I'm no longer interested in having a relationship with you. I'm making you my
past." Her eyes widened in stupefaction when she read the first few lines, she gasped, and her hands
shuddered on her phone as she read on. Each word cut like a razor slicing through her heart, her chest
tightened unable to breathe.
"I don't wanna see you, or to kiss or hold you. Forget me. Forget about us." She gulped.
The concert hall was thronged with tons of people from the United States,
Switzerland, Paris, and South Africa. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, the
whole crowd was shaking and vibrating when the first notes of Brandon's music filled the
air,
is melodious voice was extremely loud, his voice pierced Gia's ears as it flowed outside, and
she paused in front of the entrances reflecting on Brandon's email, her heart was pounding. What if his
words on his email were real? Should I stop hoping that he loves me and walk away right now? she
shuddered feeling a wave of despair and struggled to fight back the tears welling in her eyes. "Well, I
can't stop, I can't fight it either feeling this way, " she placed her hand on her chest and sighed heavily,
"he's still right here."
The rhythm of Brandon's music was so mesmerizing and captivating most of the crowd
in the hall were swaying back and forth, left, right, and center according to the beat of
the music, the boys jumped so high, their limbs had so much vigour, and they were
screaming as if from a mountain top singing along with the song. The sound quality
of the music was top-notch, and the stage set-up was remarkable! The loud, hefty,
enormous speakers were shaking the place and smoke like fog floated in the air on
the stage like a magic show. Millions of colors shot out from disco ball lights
glistening like a piece of crystal, and the rays poured on Brandon's body while dancing
together with his band of choreographers on stage.
As the beats of his music got faster, most of the crowd twirled, whirling, switching sides
and flinging their hands into the air moving their bodies like an uncoiling rope with
relentless energy. They moved their feet so fast as if they belonged to the music
feeling so joyful like a shot of adrenaline to the heart.
The bouncers at the Lexus club flung Jia away from the club when she had tried to go inside the club.
"Let me in, I wanna speak with Brandon Walter."
adrenaline to the heart.
Gia broke out of her thoughts. "No..., " She shook her head convincing her heart, "Brandon loves me."
She stretched her left foot through the entrance doors trying to take a step in when suddenly, two men
appeared in front of her strutting above her like a tower, their bodies were so humongous their sturdy
shoulders bulged under their stocky black suits revealing their burly physique, Gia appeared little like a
dwarf in front of them. Their contorting faces and stiff jawlines seemed rattling and can scare off anyone
easily, Gia's eyes fluttered in nervousness.
“You can't go in.” the bouncer spoke with a husky voice, his brows furrowing tightly at her.
“p-please mister, “ Gia pleaded with a shaky voice, “I wanna see Brandon, I wanna be with Brandon you
have to let me in.”
The bouncer scoffed, “you don't have a goddamn ticket.” In rage, he folded his arms firmly on his chest.
“now leave!” he screamed loudly at her.
“just get lost from here.” the other bouncer added in a demeaning tone grimacing at her. Gia felt a
tingling pain in her heart, she lowered her head disappointed and distraught, and tears slid down her
face in streams as she turned from the doors walking away. Listening to Brandon's mellifluous baritone
voice reverberating from the stage, she halted. Her heart thumped in excitement to go to him, she
marched hastily to the doors and squeezed her slim body through the bouncers struggling to pave some
space in between them to pass through but she felt incredibly helpless their bodies felt too rigorous she
was squished and she huffed in exhaustion.
“stop it!”
The bouncer tugged her away from them, and he flung her towards the floor with a lot of force as if she
were an object, she fell helplessly at the floor grazing her elbows and her ankles terribly, her delicate
skin immediately turned sore and she moaned in pain. Gia’s arms shuddered turning her body aside, and
lifting her head to look up at the bouncers. Curly strands of her jet-black hair tumbled on her face
moistening with the tears on her cheeks made her look pitiful and a mess.
“I wanna be with Brandon, just let me in please.” she wailed with a weak voice.
“crazy fan.” the bouncers sneered at her, and strode inside th
