Don't read this if you haven't read the previous chapter first! It's the second update for today and I don't want you confused :)

Drew’s POV

Frustration,pressure,anxiety,stress and disappointment were my current emotions. I was reaching my breaking point, but my boss did everything to drive me insane. She keeps nagging me, throwing shit at me, blaming me for everything and she is a bitch in general. Mr. Vanel left for a business trip and Mrs. Rozzeti is his completely useless understudy. She is thirty years old,but acts like a twenty-year-old slut that fucks her boss. Which, I may add, is possibly true, except for her age. Everyone in the music industry has made up rumours, but then again, they’re believable.

Anyway, ever since I moved to Los Angeles, things are really going downhill. And no, I’m not being an ungrateful child that has just faced a tiny obstacle. The exact opposite,actually. I’m being really mature and trying not to just leave everything as it is and return back home. I’m compromising with every single bullshit Mrs. Rozzeti throws at me, I’m civilized and I have never once raised my voice to anyone…yet.

Mr. Vanel called me and said that I have to start recording immediately,since my album will have to be released in two months from now. Which also means that the small vacation in July was automatically deleted from the list.  I have to stay here until the album’s release on the 24th of August. How to tell Bruno and my family? I have no idea.

It’s currently seven in the morning and I have rehearsals for my debut video clip. The song is called ‘Love-struck’ and the video clip is supposed to include only me, Lauren and a bed. Lauren is the girl that my boss wants to hire for my girlfriend and Bruno, when he sees the video, will be ready to lose his shit.I can’t do that to him, I really can’t. I want to succeed,but Bruno is holding me back,not purposingly. I’m just too committed to do that to him.

“Drew! Lie down on your side beside Lauren and caress her arm with your fingers!”The director shouts as the guy who holds the camera approaches the bed and zooms on our moves and touches. Lauren’s tiny,girly fingers are holding my other hand and I’m ready to throw up when I’m told to kiss her and I object.

“Drew,this is only for professional reasons. Keep your mind off your personal life for a few hours, because this video clip isn’t about to be filmed on its own.” The director yells at me and I cringe, leaning in to kiss the blonde girl in front of me. She’s not ugly,she has a nice body, but I’m not attracted to women any more, or to anyone other than Bruno. I kiss her and it’s forced. It feels unnatural and I only miss Bruno’s lips even more right now.

“Drew?”

My dad’s voice is heard through the phone and a smile is finally visible on my face.”Hey dad! How are you?” I sigh, still out of breath, because the director came up with the idea of me and Lauren dancing and let me tell you that I’m not the most athletic person on earth.

“I’m really fine,one more week and your baby brother will be here.”He says blissfully.I can hear dad Justin in the background shouting at Valeria.

“Why is dad shouting and..wait..you said brother? You’re having a boy?”I gasp.

My father laughs happily, “Yup,another little boy. We couldn’t wait to find out until the birth and we told Liam to reveal the secret,haha.”

“I wish I could be there when he’s born.”I mumble and sit down on a chair in the studio.

“You’ll see him in a month,remember?”
