Uncovering Kaitlyn by Emma Jane Page A

reaction of a diva.”
    I guessed I
looked a mess. I was crying and shaking and I could feel myself heating up.
    “Could Mindy
leave us alone for a minute, please?”
    Mindy glared
at us then stormed back out.
    “Kaitlyn,
sweetie. You need to show the producer what’s going on.” Dad said holding my
hand. “It’s just her and us. And she’s not going to tell anyone.”
    I pulled at
my scarf and took off my top. I grabbed an elastic band and put my hair back. 
I turned back to face the producer.
    “I can’t
wear that. I need to be covered.”
    She looked
for a moment then walked around me, inspecting me closely.
    “We’ll bring
in Mindy and one of our hairdressers. Between them they’ll make sure you’re
covered up.”

    I was hoping
to see Kaitlyn during my break but the wardrobe girl came in throwing a fit
about Kaitlyn refusing to wear the clothes they gave her. She was beginning to
get a reputation as a diva but I really didn’t understand it. Whenever I spoke
to her she was down to earth and genuine. She seemed to get annoyed with any
attention she got, and seemed to just love her music. Kaitlyn wasn’t famous for
being famous, she lived through her music. Several times when I spoke to her
over the week she was writing or practising, even if it was the early hours, or
as late as four in the morning.
    It’s obvious
that she has some issues, but I don’t get what could make her act up like that.
Kaitlyn is the girl next door. She’s beautiful on the outside and inside, she’s
kind and caring and funny and possibly the nicest girl I’d ever met. If Ryan
could hear me right now he’d probably try to knock some sense into me. He might
secretly love the whole girlfriend thing but he’d rip me for it. I wasn’t the
type and he knew it. He’d never let me forget it if I said anything, which is
why I went along with Kaitlyn’s secret date thing. I didn’t how I felt about
her, so this would save any agro until I worked it out.
    Instead of
meeting her, I called Graham requested that we go out for lunch. During the day
I had a bodyguard to come with me outside the set. Details of me filming had
been released so I had crazy girls turn up most of the time. I also had shit
load of reporters pestering me for details of the petrol station incident,
which I always refused to acknowledge. The poor girl was sick and she didn’t
need me to tell the world that. When I got home the other night I called my
parents to explain what happened. I asked them to keep the details to
themselves for the girl’s sake and my mum looked up what happened to the girl
for me. Apparently she has a mental illness and can’t quite grasp reality from
fantasy. I never asked what it was, it wasn’t my right. She’d been discharged
from hospital so she could stay with the baby and Max, the man she was with. He
was her live in carer. I wished them luck and sent an anonymous card and gift
set to her, paid on one of my parents cards so she couldn’t trace it to me.
Graham turned up for lunch and we went to a restaurant in town. I smiled and
spoke to a lot of my fans and didn’t bother to ignore any of them while I ate.
Every now and then, I had a day where I tried hard with them to please Graham,
so he’d lay off for a bit.
    When I got
back from lunch I had to prepare for my scene with Kaitlyn. I was prepped and
had to wait for ages for everyone to get ready. When Kaitlyn came out she was
still in her gown and surrounded by people. Somehow I knew that Jake would be
the one standing near her while everyone worked around him. Kaitlyn had said he
was like a brother to her, but their relationship was clearly quite intense. I
had deliberately said he was her brother earlier to see if it gained a reaction
but only the director seemed confused.
    At the last
minute they took off her gown and fixed her hair and clothes. She was stunning.
I’m a grown man, and hate to think that I’m pervy at all, but I had to force my
tongue back
