≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺ELLA WAS SITTING on one of the chairs in the studio, watching as Gustavo did his weekly lecture to the boys.
"Dogs! You've come a long way. But you have a longer way to go before you go multiplatinum and start selling out 50,000-seat stadiums," he exclaimed. He then walked in front of each of the boys, stating out his problems with them.
"James is still too self-centered and only cares about himself." Ella stifled a laugh, seeing the boy wearing a t-shirt with himself on it as he pulled out a mirror and a comb.
"James and I still disagree," he countered, combing his hair.
"Quiet, you two." Gustavo sternly said, walking over to the next boy. "Carlos still lacks direction."
"I do not," he argued, while standing with his back turned.
"Turn around." Ella piped up from her seat as Carlos did some spins, still facing the wrong way.
Having enough, Gustavo moved on to Logan.
"Logan still lacks swagger," he complained.
"Yes, but if you ever need a colored pencil, who you gonna call?" He wondered as he smugly pulled out a pencil from a case on his pocket.
"I told you not to buy that." Ella groaned as Gustavo took the pencil from Logan, snapping it in half, making the boy yelp in fear.
"Finally, Kendall and Reed need to stop talking back to me and adding commentary that's not wanted." Gustavo finished, looking back and forth between the couple.
Ella rolled her eyes, speaking up. "And Gustavo needs to take a-"
"Don't say it." Gustavo warned, glaring at the girl behind him.
Kendall looked over at his girlfriend, who nodded her head knowingly, then at his friends who silently begged him not to finish her sentence.
Satisfied with the silence, Gustavo said, "Good-"
"Chill pill." Kendall smirked as the producer made a face, starting to shake as he attempted to hold in his anger.
Kelly hastily put on the soundproof headphones Ella had gotten her for Christmas, while everyone prepared for Gustavo to blow.
Ella widened her eyes, seeing smoke come out of her boss' ears. "Steam. That's a new one."
"Run." Kendall stated as the teens dashed out the door, before a pissed off Gustavo could catch them.
━━━━
Ella and the boys rushed into the crib, screaming for their lives.
Kendall shut the door and joined the rest of his friends, who were climbing up the swirly slide for protection.
Frantically, they grabbed onto Ella's arms, lifting her onto the loft just in time as Gustavo kicked down the door, fuming.
"Get down here! Get down here right now!" He screamed.
"Not until you chillax." James cried out.
"Oh, I am chillaxed!" He shouted back.
"Sure you are." Ella retorted as Gustavo ran into the kitchen, rummaging through the drawers.
"Where do you keep your knives?" He asked.
"Um, in the drawer next to the sink." Carlos responded nonchalantly.
At his naiveness, Ella smacked his head, while the other boys yelled out complaints.
