~Three~ Backstage-----------------
Chloe waited outside the backstage gates in a long line. Finally, she was let through to the other side. She spotted Isaac across the way shaking hands and signing autographs. She really wanted to go meet him, but she had to talk to Taylor first. She looked all around for him, but did not spot him. She saw Zac and decided she might as well talk to him while she looked for Taylor. The two met and they clicked right away. Chloe told him that he would get along greatly with her best bud, Kate.
Zac was like "Cool. I'll have to meet her."
Chloe was like "Yeah, she would love that. She tried so hard to get your drumsticks that you threw out into the audience.
Zac was touched by that so he said, "Hold on one second, I'll be rignt back." Isaac wandered over to Chloe while she was waiting for Zac.
He said "I've met almost everyone backstage, but I haven't met you yet." Chloe was excited that Isaac actually wanted to meet her. They talked for a couple minutes and then she asked him for an autograph made out to Kristey. While Isaac was making that out, Zac appeared. He had two drumsticks with writing on them that said 'to Kate, love
Zac.' Chloe was so happy for Kate now and gave Zac a big hug. Now she was happy, but
still a little down that she still could not find Taylor anywhere. All of the sudden a person came up behind her and said, "I've been looking all over for you." She turned around and gasped. It was Taylor! She was really excited but tried not to show it. She wondered why Taylor was looking for her.
She was like, "Hi Taylor! I love you! I mean, I love the band, and your
music!" She said, "My name is Chloe Carmichael."
Taylor just smiled and said, "I know." Chloe was very puzzled by this statement.
She asked, "What do you mean? How do you know who I am?"
Taylor was like, "We have only talked for the past 2 months now, so I would hope I know who you are." Chloe was confused once again. The thought that her friend Jordan may actually be Taylor Hanson was unreal.
Taylor told her, "If you haven't already figured it out, I am Jordan." Chloe couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was so excited, but at the same time a little nervous. A look of embarrasement spread across her face.
Taylor looked at her and said, "It's OK, I guess that was kind of wrong for me to do that, but I couldn't resist. I mean, I have to get to know and like people before I reveal my true identity." Chloe understood but still felt funny. Taylor took Chloe by the hand and led her to a private spot where no one was. He told Chloe that he knew that it was early and all, but he really liked her. Chloe told Taylor that she liked him too.
Taylor said "I want to be able to have a relationship with you, but we live so far apart."
Chloe agreed and looked down. Taylor lifted her chin and lightly kissed her lips.
At first, Chloe was so shocked that she didn't really know how to react. She eased up a bit and kissed him back. When their lips parted,
Taylor said, "Chloe, I am willing to give this long distance relationship a try. I mean, we still have the internet. We can talk on that everyday and I will also call
you."
Chloe was flattered but said, "Taylor, that is sweet of you and all, but I just don't think it would work. You have so many fans and there are so many girls, and chances are, you'll meet someone else who is nicer and prettier than me."
Taylor replied that no one could possibly live up to her qualities. Taylor looks kind of upset, so Chloe reasurred Taylor that if they ever met again, they could perhaps start something. She told him to keep on the internet. Taylor told her that he and his family would be coming to her hometown of Richmond for Halloween. Chloe was excited about that and the two agreed that they would have to meet up when Halloween came around. As Chloe started to walk away,
Taylor caught her and said, "Wait. I have something for you." He broke the chain of a necklace that was around his neck.
He said, "Wear this necklace and always think of me when you wear it." Chloe then pulled Taylor toward her as he whispered to never forget him. The feel of Taylor's
warm breath turned Chloe on and without even realizing what she was doing, she looked at him in the eyes and as their gaze broke, she leaned in and kissed him once more. This kiss was deeper than the first. As she walked away, a tear rolled down her cheek.
Taylor wiped it away and said, "Remember, we'll meet in only 2 more months. Here is my phone number in case you ever want to talk to me, just call. Chloe gave him her number and told him that she had to go. As she walked out from backstage, she had so many thoughts running through her head. She turned around for one last look at her true love, and caught the eye of Isaac. He gave her a wink and waved goodbye.   ~Four~
