Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince

36. Don't Blame Me

Y/N's POV

Today would be the first day I am officially going to be working on the top secret project that I got recruited for. I'm a little nervous since no one has told me who I am working for yet, but nonetheless I am still so excited. Always look forward to an opportunity to expand my horizons. 

I walk into the well venitilated building already being grateful to have bought a hoodie to keep warm. I approach the room I was told to go to and knock lightly on the door, Jack Antonoff opens the door and I see Max Martin and Shellback all sitting inside getting equipment ready. They are all super talented singer, songwriters, and prodcuers. Walking in slowly taking everything in I start to get excited knowing I am getting to work with them personally. Jack is the one who got me on this project as he told me he thinks I will be the missing part that is needed. He said he wanted to surprise the artist with me yet he also hasn't told me who it is so it's a little suspicious but figured it could be any big name maybe even someone new who has heard my work. 

A couple of minutes go by as we continue getting ready and chat while sipping on water or beer. Soon a knock is heard on the door and we all turn as Jack gets up to help, I stand up after him wiping my sweaty hands so I can introduce myself to the mystery artist. I don't get a good look just yet as Jack grabs some stuff from their hands and walks back in and soon after SHE walks in the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my entire life. I had only met her once before,  Taylor Swift one of the most popular artist of the generation I couldn't believe I was gonna work with her. Before I knew it all the confidence I didn't have vanished further as I couldn't muster up any words due to nervousness she was just gorgeous. I took a mental note of that for later. She finally looks at me and freezes, I get scared thinking maybe I upset her or she doesn't like me but I try to get it back together and put my hand out for her to shake and say "Hi, I'm Y/N I don't know if you remember me but it is such an honor to meet you and work with you." still without saying anything she stares deeply into my eyes and slowly reaches up to my hand shaking it almost holding me like I were gonna break. 

While Jack, Max, and Shellback seemed to have dispersed to continue working now that Taylor had arrived not noticing out interaction. We continue staring at eachother for what feels like forever before two more people walk in breaking the silence. This causes us to both turn towards the door still holding hands and I notice it is Selena Gomez and Blake Lively. They both walked in giggling like teens but with a sense of innocence not knowing what they had interrupted.  I barely knew what it was. They look at us with confusion and then look at our hands causing Taylor and I to be bought back to reality dropping eachothers hands. 

Taylor then turn and quickly grabs them leaving the room saying a quick "I'll be right back". I stare at the door in confusion wondering what just happened. I look at the others oblivious as ever, I frown wondering why I felt like I was the only one missing something. I decided to ignore it and go back to helping the guys. My curiosity doesn't leave me though as I connect some final wires and grab my laptop and headphones to work on a track I had begun to get inspired for. 

As I do so the girls walk back in with a new found sense of curiosity as they walk right to me quickly saying hello to the rest before sitting beside me. I quickly take my headphones off wanting to give them my attention and say "Hi, I'm Y/N it's lovely to meet you two."  I smile and reach my hand out they both quickly shake my hand and the first to speak is Selena who says "The pleasure is mine Y/N I've heard great things about you in the industry so I can't wait to see how you work with Taylor" she nudges my arm which confuses me but I ignore it as Blake speaks saying " Yeah it's great to meet you hope we will get to hang alot while you work with Taylor" I smile at them before Jack speaks up.
