Whisked Away or Whisked Apart? Declan Kingman seen leading a barely visible Kelsey Best. Rumors swirl of her 'taking a break' – but is this a romantic getaway or something more sinister? #KelseyVanishingAct #DeclanDominance?

@BestiesBestie:A secret getaway sounds romantic to me! They deserve some peace and quiet. #LetThemBeHappy

@MosquitoIncognito: Taking a break or shirking her responsibilities? What about all those fans who paid for concerts she isn't doing?

@TruthSeeker101:Disappearance? That sounds serious. #WhereIsKelseyReally

@RomanceReader: “Maybe it’s a secret getaway? Let them be. #RomanticEscape

@ConspiracyTheorist:Doesn't anyone else think this is all for publicity? #StagedDrama

@DailyDiva:I don’t like this... Kelsey always seemed independent. #NotLikeHer

Shocking Sight! Latest snap of Kelsey Best looking dazed and confused next to Declan Kingman. She's known for her vibrant performances, but this? Fans are asking - is this a retreat or a retreat from freedom? #SaveKelsey #DeclanDilemma

@WorryWart: Kelsey doesn't look good, guys. Is she being controlled? #ConcernForKelsey

@DefenderOfTruth: “Media always exaggerates. They’re probably just taking a break. #ChillOutPeople

@KelseyBestieFan99: I just hope she’s getting the rest she needs. She deserves it. #RestUpKelsey

@SuspiciousMind: Something’s up. Declan’s look says it all. #EyesWideOpen

@BestiesBestie: People always assume the worst. Declan is her knight in shining armor, not the villain! #ProtectKelseyAndDeclan

THE BANGXIETY IS OVER

KELSEY

In a world of boys, Declan was a man. God, was he ever a man.

Up until now, I wasn’t sure I’d ever actually dated a real man. Because none of them had ever treated me like a real woman. I’d been a thing to the rest of them. A sex object, of which some of them were ashamed of but wanted anyway. I’d been a means to an end for so many. A way to get what they wanted and look good while doing it.

But none of them had ever made me feel like this. I felt taken care of, felt protected, felt adored, and never had anyone made me feel so damned loved.

And it scared me.

And I was tired of being scared.

Since the day I decided to try out forThe Choicest Voicesinging competition, fear had been my main motivator. What if they don’t like my singing, what if they tell me I’m to chubby tobe a pop star, what if I don’t write songs the record label likes, what if I put out an album that flops? What if, what if, what if...
