Industry || Pete Wentz

Chapter 4

We were all running around getting ready, we have a meeting with management, it was labelled with importance on the email, so everyone had to be on time. As usual Marty would be last to get ready as he wouldn't even be awake yet.

I walk downstairs all ready in a semi cute outfit, to my surprise everyone ready downstairs.

"Right, I'm hoping it's good news, please good and text me as soon as you're out!" Lauri fusses as she fixes Marty's hair.

"It's going to be alright Laur, I'll see you later." He plants a kiss on her lips before following me out the door, I wave goodbye to Lauri then getting in Harley's car. Everyone was so nervous, we all sat in silence as Harley cruised down the streets. I wasn't worried, if they were kicking us off the label I could easily get us a new label. We were one of the worlds biggest bands for gods sake. We pull up at the familiar building, filing in one by one, Harley takes my hand and squeezes it. Riley knocks on the boardroom and opens it, we all follow her in to see Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy already here.

"You guys too?" Spencer raises an eyebrow.

"I doubt its bad news, don't sweat it guys." Andy shrugs, I just take my usual seat, it was at the corner of the table, normally I have Harley on one side and Riley on the other. As soon as I sit down though, guess who sits next to me?

Pete Fucking Wentz.

"Harley always sits next to me." I whisper to him with venom in my voice.

"Well I'm sitting  here today honey, get over it." He smirks. I huff in annoyance, he was so irritating. It's like he knew how to get under my skin, all our managers file in with the head management following in behind. They all had grins plastered on their faces, it made me feel sick. Everyone took their places, Harley on the opposite side of the table. It infuriated me that Pete purposely sat there so Harley couldn't to annoy me. I kept rolling my eyes at Harley which he sniggers at.

"So you're all probably wondering why we brought you here today." Head management, she was called Tina, she could be frightening if she wanted but overall she was a nice lady.

"Your management has been talking and we have set it all up, you are all going to do a tour together, like a joint tour." She grins, everyone's faces lit up but mine dropped.

"For how long?" Brendon asks.

"Just under a year, it's a world tour so it's going to take a long time." She begins, she hands us all papers.

"I'm not leaving Lauri alone for nearly a year." I kill everyone's excitement. Realisation hits my friends faces.

"She can be a supporting act, don't worry honey!" Tina grins, damn my only way out of this tour and she found a solution.

"So we have set up the dates, it's going to be great!" Fall Out Boy's manager begins, I just keep sending pleading eyes to my manager, Sophia. She was a sweet lady, she knew what I wanted and what I didn't want, but she has failed me this time.

"When do we leave?" Patrick questions.

"This Friday!"

"This Friday?" I choke out, that's in four days.

"Yeah, is it too late?"

"Too late? I have to pack for a world tour in four days?"

"If it's that much of a problem, we can send someone to do it for you." She shrugs, getting her phone out ready.

"I don't need anyone to pack my stuff, can I leave now?"

"Yeah you all can."

We all file out one by one, everyone buzzing with excitement, I was just loathing in self pity.
