Star's POV

"I love you Los Angeles!!!" I yelled into my microphone as I left the stage.

As always, the crowd was roaring, which always made me laugh. I headed to my dressing room, labeled 'Summer Keen'.

I rolled my eyes at the sign and unlocked the door to see my rack full of clothes just where I left it before the concert. Landing on the couch with a big thump I sighed heavily, tired and stressed from the day.

In the morning, my staff helped me get ready for the meet and greet that I had with my fans. After that, I had a lunch with a couple of my friends, and then after that, I had my Los Angeles concert.

Getting up, I looked in the mirror and before taking off the fake eyelashes and whatever was glued on my face, I took a selfie and posted it on instagram, saying 'Thanks for all the supporters who came out to my concert tonight XD!!'

I took off the fake wig that was really poofy and curly, and brushed out my actual, real, blonde, straight hair. Then I grabbed my makeup wipe and got all of the glitter and sparkles off my face before I accidentally inhaled some.

Knock knock knock.

"Come in!" I said from the other side of the door.

"Star, I would like to talk to you about something." I didn't even need to look at the man to know who the deep voice belonged to.

"Yeah Toffee, I'm not going anywhere." I laughed at my one joke, mostly it's because Toffee never lets me leave unless there's a bodyguard near me.

"Gavin Murphy is a good friend of mine, and he was very impressed with your show tonight. He would like to be the 'bigger boss' whenever it comes to your shows, if you know what I mean. And don't worry, we will be getting a lot of money. Murphy's a frickin' billionaire for God's sake!" He said.

"Tell him thank you for the generous offer, but no." I replied.

He gave me a blank stare. "I'm sorry, what?"

"That's right you heard me. I said no. We all know what Gavin does with his money, he spends it on trash, like strip clubs and other junk, while I want to give my money to charity."

Toffee stood up, making him almost there times my size when I'm sitting down. "I wasn't asking you." He growled.

"Neither. Was. I." I growled back, standing up, my height at his shoulders. "And if you make me sign this contract, then I'll quit."

Before I could finish talking, Toffee grabbed my neck and pinned my against the wall.

"I dare you to try and quit." He squeezed my neck a bit tighter. "You got that? "

I struggled to say yes, as my lungs were trying to grasp air.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."

I was able to squeak, "Yes Toffee." While nodding.

His tight grip on my neck was released and I started coughing as I was finally able to breath again.

He got his face close to mine. "Think about it. Your life kind of depends on this, you know." Toffee sneered exiting the room.

I just stood there, shocked, terrified, and scared, threatened by a man who I did not know. Well, the same man that I knew before.

Toffee was a great guy, he was one of my dad's best friends, and he was like an older brother to me. But then once he realized I could sing, he took advantage of that power and was made as my manager/boss thingy.

As time went by, he started to get more pressure by the week, and sometimes for angry with me if I ever donated large amounts to charity events.

This is not the man I know.

I grabbed my teal suitcase and packed my clothes that I only wear when I'm not Summer Keen, makeup, and some other items I might need along the way.

Shoving my phone and wallet into my pocket, I opened up the window that was along the wall of the room.

"Goodbye Summer Keen, hello new life." And just like that I was bolting out the door, but still cautious as to not make a lot of noise as I continues my escape.
