Save My Life ~ N.H

11. I Did Something Bad

I finally get to the place. It's a club. Not the ideal first date, if that's what you would call it, but I can't argue with Don. I didn't have time to change, but I took my cardigan off. I really liked it, but I know Don wouldn't.

I walk in and I know Don is not happy.

"What were you thinking Diana? Jack Moore is a very famous and busy man. He's not going to wait around forever."

I'm pretty sure he was most famous 10 years ago, but I don't say that.

"Is he still here?" I ask.

"Yes, over there. Go." Don says.

I guess he wasn't that busy if he was still waiting. I find him at the bar. I recognize him, but I never really paid attention to him before now. My parents used to listen to his music. He has black hair that's kind of long and has a short beard. He's wearing leather. And he has brown eyes. Not really my type.

I sit down next to him.

"Sorry, I'd love to meet you, but I'm kinda waiting for someone." He says to me.

"I'm Diana Anderson." I tell him.

"Oh no way. You're hotter than I expected."

Was that supposed to be a compliment? I look over to Don. He's talking with someone that I assume is Jack's manager. What does he want me to talk about?

We sit there in silence for a while until the bartender walks over.

Jack asks him to refill his drink and I wonder how many he has had already. I don't really know what to get so I order a Guinness because I remember Niall talking about it earlier. He loves it.

"I'm glad you're not one of those girls who doesn't drink. It's so lame."

Excuse me?

"Would there be a problem if I was?"

"Relax, it was a compliment." He says.

I already don't like him.

"I'm so glad you agreed to this whole thing. Everyone's gonna be so jealous that you're my girlfriend." He says, trying to change the subject.

"Actually, I didn't agree. My manager did." I say.

"Well don't blame that on me. I'm not your manager."

"You still signed onto it." I don't know why I'm being so argumentative.

"Obviously I did. This will help my career." He's such a narcissist. "And don't be ungrateful, it will help you too. Have you ever even had a boyfriend before?"

I haven't. But why not tell a little white lie?

"Of course I have. Zac Efron, Chris Hemsworth, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland, Harry Styles, Nick Jonas, Leonardo DiCaprio...but that one ended once I turned 25." I try to keep a straight face when I say it.

"Oh...well I'm probably more famous than all of them." He says. I almost burst out laughing when I realize he believes me. I know I should, but I'm not gonna tell him I was joking. It's fun.

I can feel him staring at me. "You're actually really pretty." He tells me. If someone else had said it I would have been blushing, but he makes me wants to throw up.

We keep talking but it's miserable. He just seems like a bad person. He's also not very smart. He didn't know I had a movie. When he found out he stood up and yelled "My girlfriend is Diana Anderson!" I hope that was only because he's really drunk, because I don't want him to drop my name everywhere he goes.

At one point I go to the bathroom because I need a break. I text Andrea.

Diana: help me
Andrea: What why?

Just then a woman walks in.

"Diana, I'm Jack's manager. You should be out there right now ." She has a huge smile on her face, but for some reason she's really scary.

"Sorry." I walk back out to where we were sitting.

"Why is my purse open?" I ask him.

"I wanted another drink but I ran out of change."

Seriously? He spent my money and didn't ask me?

"What is wrong with you?" I yell.

"Oh my god calm down. Aren't you rich?" He says.

"Ugh, I'm so done with this!" I say, and start gathering my things.

As I try to walk out Don grabs my arm. I shake it away.

"Diana, don't walk away now. This is a good thing."

"No it's not!" I say.

I run out to my car. I did something bad, but it felt so good.
