"I did send it to Mount Eliyah. I don't know how it got in his hands. Maybe Mount Eliyah and Taylor Music Group are silent partners. I don't know. You don't need to worry about all that, though. You just focus on making music. All the behind the scenes shit is none of your business, but try to stay abreast of it. Try to pick up on the subtle cues La'Renz throws. Like the Sundi thing—if he didn't want you mentioning her, then don't mention her. Ever. Play the game. Be smart. You have a great opportunity in front of you. Whether you're signed to Mount Eliyah or Taylor Music Group—it doesn't matter. You're in the game. You're in the mix. Don't fuck it up. Or I'll kill you. And so will Gee."
"How's Gee doing?" I asked.
"He's better. It's gonna be a slow recovery. But I brought a keyboard and headphones up to the hospital for him. He made me bring it. He said he's gonna make this next beat his greatest work so you can put it on your first album."
"I can't wait. Is he nearby?"
"No. He's still up at the hospital."
"Where are you? At Ashleigh's? So you guys did make up, huh?" It was none of my business but I wanted to know.
"I didn't call to talk about her. I called to talk about you."
They're back together, I thought. I knew it wouldn't take long.
I stuck my head out of the bedroom door when I heard a shout. Looking down the hall I saw nothing, but it sounded like Sundi and La'Renz were in the kitchen arguing about the radio station fight. I closed the door back and went and sat on the bed.
"Coras, I better go. I need to get some sleep. Who knows what's in store for me tomorrow."
"Okay. Hang in there. And try not to get in any more fights."
I smiled even though he couldn't see it. "You either, Mr. Sprint Center," I quipped.
"I'ma try. Talk to you later. Love you, Kirbie."
"Bye, Coras."
I hung up.
It might've seemed like I overlooked the fact that he said love you to me, but I hadn't. I heard it loud and clear. We said it to each other a few other times in the past, but I only said it back to him as a joke, just harmless flirting. But I didn't want to say it to him this time. I wasn't feeling it. One would think I didn't tell him I love you back because I was engaged to Archie now. But the truth was that I was feeling jealous over his and Ashleigh’s unbreakable relationship.
I didn't know why it was getting to me now, while I was over a thousand miles away.
But it was.
Suddenly, my phone started ringing again. It was Coras calling back. I choked out a laugh, knowing he was only calling back to get a return love you out of me. I didn't answer it, though. I let it go to voicemail. And when I was sure he wasn't calling back, I logged onto The Site in hopes that it would take my mind off of him.
The friend requests had increased. And I noticed that these "friends" of mine—former and new—had started leaving comments on my wall, congratulating me for teaming up with La'Renz Taylor, among other things.
Shan Lovingmeandhim Joseph: I saw the Revolt video. You go girl! When you're rich and famous, I can tell everybody that I knew you before the fame!
TheBoss Luster: Thank you for accepting my friend request. I think you're a really talented singer. I hope your talent doesn't get wasted with that monster you signed to. #LaRenzMurderedJazzmine
4300Block Keyon: Oh shit, Kirbie! You're about to put Kansas City on the map! I knew you would be big time one day! #NiggaWeMadeIt
Nick Dolemite Wolf: Is this really Kirbie Amor's page?
Jessica Street: Thanks for accepting me, Kirbie. I can't wait to hear some of your music. Do you already have some songs out?
Keith J: Congrats on signing with Taylor Music group. They used to be big back in the day.
Monty Stak-a-Million: How the fuck this bitch get a deal with a label and I ain't get one? #FuckTheIndustry #politics #BitchesSuckingDickForDeals
Marie Capelton: Kirbie, this is your cousin from Ohio. We have the same uncle through marriage. I'll inbox you my number. I sing too.
Rita Realspit Gibson: It's good to see someone from my hometown make it out. I wish you much success on your new path. With the voice you've been blessed with, I hope you use it for good and aspire to inspire others. I saw the altercation video but it looked like you stayed out of it for the most part. Please don't get sucked in by the shenanigans of fame.
There were more comments below but I really needed rest so I set my phone down on the nightstand, cut off the lamp light and crawled under the covers. In the darkness, I closed my eyes and listened to the stillness around me. I didn't hear Sundi's or La'Renz's voices so I figured they were calling it a night as well.
As I rolled over onto my side and the minutes passed, I started to get irritated by the constant beeping of my phone. Notifications from The Site. One after another. I grabbed my phone off of the nightstand to turn off the notification setting so I could sleep, but after I did I was curious to see how many new friend requests I had received in the ten minutes since I last checked it.
I was amazed to see over six hundred new requests.
"This is crazy," I said in awe to my screen, which was the only thing giving off light in my room right now.
I couldn't resist—I tapped the notification link one last time for the night, just because I was overexcited and eager to see what new people wanted to befriend me at this hour. When I did, I was in complete shock to see two names of famous people that The Site had automatically pushed to the top of my requests based on popularity. I was almost scared to accept.
"Oh my God," I gasped.
Kirbie Amor received a friend request from Eliyah Golomb, Caylene Hope, and 681 others.
