Part two: Hide the truth and spread the lie

1 - Gotta love Adam

During the tour everybody was visited by friends and family from time to time. My mom was the most consistent visitor. Luckily, I was a teenager, so nobody found it strange. Of course, we all missed our families and homes, but it was probably the hardest for Lil, Megan and Michael, who had kids growing back at home and they couldn't see them very often.

Katy came to visit Kris, before and after concerts anytime she got the chance. Most of us got to know her a little bit better and everybody found her adorable and sweet. So did I. Although there were times when my affection towards her was overshadowed by other feelings…

"Hey guys!" Katy smiled at all of us as she came out of the dressing room with Kris. It was just before one of our concerts, when we were going through the usual process of preparation. Everybody smiled and greeted her.

Adam wrapped a hand around her shoulders and they walked to a couch, stating they were going to "gossip". Don't get me wrong, I love Katy, but could she be any closer to my Adam? It was like they were best friends now or something. Well, it couldn't be 'or something', actually.

I tried not to be too obvious as I looked at them. They were sitting there together and chatting, as if they weren't in any kind of hurry. I made an effort to concentrate on Megan, who was telling me something about the last concert, but it wasn't very successful. My focus kept coming back to Adam and Katy.

She was even giggling and all, like she really did have a crush on him, which they liked to joke about. Well, all of the female human beings had a crush on Adam, in one way or another. And some males as well. You just can't not love Adam, it's simply impossible.

Kris didn't seem to mind his wife was such a close friend of Adam's. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that everybody was good friends with Adam, both genders. Everybody loved him. Not that I could blame them, but I felt a little jealous. Jealous as a friend more than anything else. I wanted him to be my best friend and closer with me than anybody else. Wait, why exactly did I think I deserved a special treatment?

Oh, right. I was his 'little sister'. Why didn't it make me feel better? And since when people get so possessive over friends? Okay, maybe it was time to admit that everything about Adam was 'more than a friend' for me. Of course, I kept it to myself, knowing that everything about me was 'just a friend' for Adam.

Adam and Katy also talked on the phone a lot those days and sometimes those conversations seemed to be pretty serious. As if they had some kind of a privet common matter. Again, Kris didn't mind at all and often joined their conversations when Katy was around. I never tried to join the party, but not that I was ever invited… I knew it was only the childish side of me that noticed and envied and I knew it was stupid and ridiculous, but it was stronger than me sometimes.

Adam's family came to see him as well. They came with us to the hotel to spend some time with Adam. They couldn't stay for very long nor could they come too often.

"Well, where's my new daughter?" Adam's mom joked and when I ran up to them she gave me hug. "Nice to see you again, sweetie."

"You too." I smiled. They were always so nice to me.

"So, how are you, kids?" She asked Adam and me.

"We're great. It's all amazing." I replied.

"Yeah, it's totally surreal." Adam agreed.

"It must be hard for you to be far away from home for such a long time." Adam was talking to his father now, so she spoke to me.

"Yeah, it's no easy, but I've got my mom coming every now and then." I looked around the lobby. "She's somewhere around here."

"I'd like to meet again." She chuckled. "We have a common daughter after all."

"Sure." I laughed. "I think she's getting tired though, she doesn't fallow us all around now."

"I think she's just making sure everything is safe and good for you here. I bet she'll stop coming as often soon."

"I hope so. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love her and I will miss her terribly when she's not around as much, but she has a home and a job and a family to take care of. I don't want her to neglect everything because of me."

"You're right, but a mother will always be one." I nodded in agreement. "You know, Adam was right, you do have wisdom beyond your years."

"Oh, thank you." I blushed a little at her complement, which was even more pleasant as it came from Adam first. "There's my mom. Mom!"

***

I walked out of my hotel room and was Kris pacing as calmly as usual down the hallway. I ran up to him quickly and quietly and jumped on him from behind, taking him by surprise.

"Good morning to you too." He chuckled and carried me like backpack.

"Morning!" I replied cheerfully. "Where are you going?"

"To Matt's room. Everybody's there."

"Oh, then you're lucky it's not that far from here." We both laughed and he turned round the corner. "So what's up?"

"All good, as always." He reached for the doorknob of one of the rooms and turned it.

"Let me help you." I offered goofily, kicking the door open.

"Thanks, couldn't have done it without you." Kris said sarcastically and entered the room.

"Thanks for the ride, dude." I laughed and jumped back on my feet. I looked around the room: Matt and Danny were sitting on the couch with Matt's laptop on the coffee table in front of them; Anoop was watching some silly TV show and Lil was talking to Adam as they both set on the carpet next to the bed. "Helloooo!" I called and everybody gave a hand wave or a 'hi'.

"Hey, everybody." Megan entered the room with a smile across her face and everybody greeted again. I think they were doing it automatically already, without noticing who came in. "So I heard the gathering is here today."

"The rumor has it…" Matt muttered without taking his eyes off of the computer screen. I watched Kris join Anoop on the couch and turned to Megan, raising my eyebrows. She gave me a little shrug.

"I'm gonna do my nails." She raised a little case in her hand. "Do you want to barrow some polish?"

"Sure. I would take anything just not to get bored to death." Megan giggled and we took a place on Matt's bed.

"Hey, Adam, you're on Twitter again." Matt informed.

"Whatever, this guy has to get a life soon." Adam replied, standing up. There was someone who had all of his accounts under control and he didn't like it very much. "I'm going to grab a soda or something, does anybody want something?" Of course, everybody wanted something and eventually Adam got out with a whole list of things. I wanted to offer to come with him, but decided against it. I mean, I could spend every second with him, but it didn't mean I had to be such a leach, right?

"Don't you just love Adam?" Megan's voice startled me and I stared at her with astonishment. It took me a couple of seconds to get a grip. I slapped myself mentally, just before asking her how she could tell.

"Yeah, gotta love him…" I mumbled and looked down on the red nail polish. 'You have no idea.' I added in my head and hoped it would stay that way.

"Adorable creature." Megan chuckled. Before I could answer, we heard Matt and Danny practically explod with laughter. All eyes in the room were on them.

"What's up with you two?" Kris asked finally as both of them were rolling on the couch.

"Oh, man." Danny was breathless. "Don't mind us. We're just watching videos on YouTube." He looked at me and then cracked up again with Matt following his example.

"Hey! Why are you watching videos about me?" I demanded.

"Because they're funny and there are lots of them." Matt answered instead.

"Wait, what kind of videos are you watching exactly?"

"It's not our fault that when you run a search about American Idol tour you can only find cutie little clips about Kradam or Adison!" Danny claimed defensively, still laughing. "Or Adison babies…" He added and they could hardly hold their laughs back. Oh, so that's what it was about…

"You're idiots." Lil told them. I couldn't disagree. "Don't you have better things to do?"

"Nope." They said in unison. Lil rolled her eyes at the same time I did. Although in my mind I was replying the clips that I've seen and it caused me a strong desire to cry. I wished it was all as easy as it was on fan videos. At a dark corner of my heart I wished it was true, even though it was a forbidden wish for me. It had been ever since it was created many months ago.

When Adam came back I didn't look up at him at first, for some reason I felt embarrassed. It's not like he could somehow guess what I was thinking, but still… I heard him announce every product out loud, as if it was an auction and everyone took their orders. I was still trying to focus on my fingernails. I had no idea what made me so nervous, but when I felt the mattress shift under his weight, my heart skipped a bit. Well, nothing new here.

"Your water." Adam told me and I had to look up at him.

"Thanks." I smiled and took the bottle from his hands.

"And that's a little bonus." He winked at me and handed me my favorite chocolate snack. Yep, you just have to love Adam.

"Thanks!"

"Just give the kid a candy…" I heard Danny say, but I didn't let it bother me.

"Don't be jealous, you got your chips, ." Adam replied and leaned back on the pillows. "How was the recording yesterday?" He asked me.

"Pretty good. I hope people will like it."

"Of course they will!" He assured me with a smile. "And you promised me a signed copy." I rolled my eyes, but didn't stop smiling. Adam grabbed a paper and started writing something, with a pen in one hand and soda in the other. I knew he was probably working on one of his songs, so I just sat there, enjoying my snack and view.

I loved to watch Adam when he was writing. He always got that pensive kind of look, his eyes turned unfocused as his thoughts wandered elsewhere. He would bite or lick his lips from time to time, or run a hand through his hair, all completely unconsciously, which made the sight even more fascinating. And then the excitement flame would appear in his crystal blue eyes and he would start writing very quickly for some time.

I bit on the inside of my cheek as my heart hammered in my chest, giving me a hard time to breathe. I could barely hold back a sigh as I kept watching every beautiful move he made, studying every gorgeous feature of his face. Everything about Adam was perfect and anything he did was incredibly fascinating to me. I wondered how long I would be able to bare this endless storm of emotions inside of me. Would I be able to survive the rest of the tour? Or was it just too much for my little fragile heart? Well, there was only one was to know and no way to escape it, really.
