ACE

"Please scooter, come on man this is all I'm asking for?"

He shook his head as he tapped his pen on the glass table. "Why? You know what we've already talked about."

"I know. But things changed, plus it all works out if we're supposed to be in a "relationship" anyway, right?"

I've been sitting in scooters office for about an hour trying to convince him to let me bring Dove along on this tour tomorrow. He's basically been giving me a list of reasons why I shouldn't. But I still don't see why not.

"Ace listen, if this is a real life issue between the two of you then I don't need you getting distracted."

I shrugged and let my left fingers run through my hair. "Scooter. I promise you, this ain't gonna distract me. I'll do whatever I have to, just name it."

Scooter leaned back in his chair as he put his hand up to his chin. It's like he was thinking hard about it.

I stared over at him trying not to seem like I was becoming impatient.

He nodded and sat up. "Look, why is this so heavy on your shoulders all of a sudden kid?"

"Uhh-nothing. We just actually got close and I want her with me." I shrugged but by the look on his face, I knew he didn't believe me.

"Alight Ace, it's obvious that you don't want to tell me. So I'll assume it's personal, but if it's anything that's going to potentially harm your career in anyway, then I need you to think about that. Don't become blinded to anything, you have to let me know certain things."

I sighed and nodded. "Yeah I know scooter and I will. Just let me talk to Dove about it first."

"Fine, she can join you on your bus. But now you know the rules and I expect you to follow them even with her there."

I smiled and stood up from my chair before saluting him. "Sir yes sir."

Scooter rolled his eyes before slapping my hand away. "Yeah, yeah just take your ass and finish packing cause I know you haven't done so."

"Shit you're right about that." I chuckled as I threw my hat on my head and walked out the room.

I took my phone out texting Dove to stop my house before walking out the building.

"Oh my god Ace!"

"Ace! Hi, can we have a picture please?!"

"You're so hot!"

I laughed when I saw a large group of people standing out waiting for me with signs pictures. They were snapping pictures and recording, which was cool with me.

I nodded and walked towards them. "Yeah sure why not?"

"I can't wait to see you on tour." One girl said with a wide grin.

"Same omg, I know you're gonna kill!"

I smiled and hugged them. "Aww thank you girls, that's so sweet. I'm definitely going to out on the best show for you guys."
