“Do you have everything, sweetie?” My wonderful and amazing manager, Bianca, asks, as the tour bus pulls to a stop in front of my mansion.”I sure do.” I smiled back. Giving Bianca a big hug, I say. “Thank you so much for a fun summer. I truly had the time of my life!””I did, too!” Bianca replied. “Just like always, it is a pleasure and privilege to travel and work with you.”After giving me another hug, Bianca gave me a gentle look and said, “Sweetie, how are you feeling about seeing Brent again, after being away the entire summer?””I honestly don’t know.” I replied, thoughfully. “There is a part of me that wants to talk to him and see him again. However, there is another part of me that doesn’t want to. Even though I hate not talking to him, he really hurt me.””I completely get it.” Bianca replied. “The best thing that you can do is follow your heart.”Before I left for tour back in May, my best friend and lifelong secret love interest, Brent, and I had gotten into a huge argument. He had said some really hurtful things. This fight had caused me to ignore Brent the entire summer, even though he had called plenty of times. Even though I was ready to surrender and let it go, I was still angry at Brent. Even though I hated feeling this way, that is just how I felt.
