In The Spotlight

{ Chapter 14 }

Xavier's POV

"I hate you, we were never friends. I used you for fame. Get over it. " Then she hung up.

I sat contemplating how things went from awesome to terrible. Can one person really change so much? The answer is yes, yes they can.

Kesley Jean-Baptise had become a quick and rising star, she went for D-Lister to A-Lister in a month. She played in a couple of movies, each of which she was nominated for a Golden Globe, a Grammy, and so on.

But once she got to the top she forgot who brought her there.

Xavier France. AKA me.

I was still famous, just, if not more, than her. But we didn't talk, look, or even breathe near each other.

All thanks to Greg.

That's right Greg, as in my best friend for decades, had turned Kelsey against me. Turns out Greg was jealous of my succses. He was only a store manager, and he felt like he deserved fame and glory, not me. And it angered him when I complained about living in the limelight, so he came up with a plan.

And he succeeded.

Third Person POV

It was the next day, after the BBQ hangout, and everyone was relaxing a chilling. Ayana and Greg were drifting along in the pool talking while Xavier and Kesley sat in the living room watching TV together.

"Hahah, this show is actually funny." Kesley spoke through her laughter, turning to Xavier. "Where did you even find this? "

Xavier laughed along with her, before replying. "I was bored one afternoon and I just stumbled on it. But it's hilarious." They both shared a laugh once agian before giving their attention back to the show.

While the unsuspecting friends sat back and continued to watch the funny TV show, their 'friends' were plotting something.

"So, what do you think? " Greg asked Ayana, leaning back against the pool wall farthest away from the backyard doors.

Ayana bit her lip nervously, she looked hesitant. "I'm not sure.. " She replied. "Why do you even want to do this? "

Greg sighed in an exasperated manner. "I've already explained, I'm being a good friend to Xavier. I'm getting him out of the spotlight." He gave Ayana an expectant look.

Despite what Greg just explained Ayana was still feeling apprehensive, she felt like she was betraying Xavier by agreeing to this.

"But why do you want to do this of all things? " She asked, not completely agreeing but she was halfway there.

Greg had to use a lot of restraint to stop himself from rolling his eyes. "Because it's the best idea I've got." He gave no more or less information than that.

Ayana wasn't fully convinced, but said she would think about it. With that response she got up and left the pool but not before Greg called out to her. "But you can't tell ethier of them, no matter what they ask and or say to you. Capish?" He said.

Ayana replied, with a nod. "Capish."

As soon as Ayana entered the house, Greg grinned in a way that was completely sinister. Different from his usual carefree, joking attitude. "Finally, I can get what I want after so many years. My chance is finally here." He mumbled to himself.

Some might say what he's doing is evil, and cruel but they didn't have to go what he went through. The constant complaing and whineing. 'Its so hard to be famous.' 'Being famous is so hard. I wish our was normal. ' He didn't understand how lucky he was and I was going to make him pay for that. All he ever did was complain about what he knew I only dreamed of having.

So, I'm going to make him pay....
