Behind the Star

A sea of people were standing on an open air field, in front of those people was a large stage that was set up and the crowd was filled with deliberate excitement. They were waiting for their idol, their star.

Behind the stage, at a luxurious trailer. A girl of immeasurable beauty sat at folded chair, with her beautiful and deep dark eyes, thin lips, and with black hair that matched those eyes that seemed infinite, while wearing blue tight dress that hugged the curves of her curvy body, It looked like nothing could define the beauty of this woman. This was a near-perfect picture.

But something was wrong, her eyes were gleaming with tears, her mouth was hung open and looked like in utter disbelief. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her makeup was in a complete mess. She didn't look like the elegant beauty from before, but now she was a woman with a broken heart.

"Fuck you Allen... Why now you bastard, you decide to leave then after a few years give me this letter and hope i'm fine? everything's fine? NO! Why did you have to leave, we could have gone through with it together! Maybe things would have been different" She was heaving as she said every words with extreme effort.

She sat in silence, while her presence was in the room, her mind was somewhere else. Time was ticking and due to the sheer silence, she could hear the ticking sounds, the sound of her own heartbeat even the blood flowing in her head.

Soon a knock came at the door. She was broken out of her stupor. "Where's my beautiful star at?" a feminine voice said as the door opened. A woman in her early 40's entered the trailer, and when she looked at the state of the beauty she called a star.

Extreme horror was exposed in the womans eyes. "My God Chloe! What happened here? Did anyone do anything to you? Are you hurt? Did something happen?" She went closer to the beauty named Chloe.

Chloe nodded, while her face was blank. She was clearly not in todays mood.

The woman contemplated on the somewhat unusual scene. She has never ever seen Chloe break down like this, she has worked with her for years and this was the first time it happened. She inspected Chloe carefully and noted the letter she had been holding the moment she entered inside. 'That's probably the reason, but there should be more to it' she thought.

"Can you still perform?" She asked the tear-streaked beauty in front of her.

A short moment of silence passed before Chloe said, "Yes." Her smile radiating despite the tears that stained her face.

"Well go clean yourself up. Can't let you go looking like that! Don't want anyone seeing that ugly crying baby right? Let me see again that smiling star that everbody loves?" The woman said while chiding Chloe with a soft smile.

"Okay" then Chloe stood up stronger than ever. 'Thank you allen for everything and giving me the strength to fight!'
