Be My Star

XII

Justin's (POV):

Since Ryan and Oliver went on a date yesterday everyone was making joke's, but one person who seemed to be displeased was Seb. After Ryan and Oliver announced they were together Sebastian's been avoiding me any time I tried to talk to him he'd give me the cold shoulder. I couldn't understand what exactly made him act like this, but today we had an interview with MorningStarr Podcast and this could be handled later. The hour drive wasn't helping the tension and nerves, even though we've had a ton of interviews this was the number one podcast globally.

"Alright — now the boys I'm about to introduce are very well known, but if your living under a rock I'm going to tell you you really need to look up these guys."

Richard said in a cheerful voice before waving for us to come forward. We all rushed onto the set waving hello to him and his co-host Hudson who seemed to be more interested in his phone than us. Oliver, Ryan, Kane, Regie took the sofa meanwhile me, Darren, and Seb had to sit on the beanbags that were very comfortable surprisingly. For half of the interview the same questions we've answered a million times were asked and of course our leader Oliver answered them, but I could feel eyes on me and couldn't focus. Looking over to my left I noticed Seb staring at me his lips parted slightly as if he wanted to say something.

"— Yeah, so Sebastian I have to ask you as co-founder is there any favoritism? I mean from what I've heard Kane is the managers your brother and your Oliver's younger sibling."

Richard asked in a condescending manner a smirk on his face. Out the corner of my eye I saw Oliver's expression change he was no longer composed he was slightly upset. Reaching over grabbing Seb's arm tapping his hand with my finger knowing Seb's the one to worry about the most. Sebastian simply laughed it off before shaking his head No all of the boys just froze in place staring at Sebastian and Oliver.

"No, not all. Manager Ty is hard on all of us and is definitely a father figure to us all. As for me and Sebastian well there's no favoritism I treat him just like I treat the other members."

Oliver quickly interjected his eyes lit up with anger which was a surprise because it's not easy to get under Oliver's skin. Sebastian let out a sigh shifting his position, but I just kept my grip on his wrist. This was an important interview if this guy wants to pick a fight to get us riled up let him, we just have to ignore him. The rest of the interview was filled with questions that seemed aimed to upset us, but never the less Ryan kept Oliver in check and I kept my eye on Oliver. Afterwards we headed to get food and boba then headed home to sleep off our long day. Instinctively I followed Sebastian into his room worried about him.

"Sebastian—"

"Justin look I'm alright — I had a long conversation with Manager Ty about the interview and this will never happen again."

He said coolly stripping out his clothes until he was in nothing, but his boxers. Walking closer reaching out to grab his hand when he suddenly snatched away staring at me over his shoulder with an irritated look. Backing off feeling the sting from the look in his eyes not sure why it hurt like this.

"Just go freshen up, and get some rest it's not like you to act so clingy."

He said harshly the venom in his words burning every part of my body. Holding back the tears I rushed out of the room slamming the door behind me angrily glaring at my reflection. Suddenly I felt a hand press onto my shoulder and the tears were starting to blur my vision.

"Justin — Justin bro you ok?"

Regie called out grabbing me by my shoulders forcing me to look him in the eyes, but I couldn't do it anymore this was so frustrating! Pushing him away I walked to my room shutting the door behind me and locking it not wanting to be disturbed.
