Chapter two: music video???

"Wait... You want me to go to LA for a photoshoot?" I ask as I tap my fingers on the wooden Table infront of me.

I recall the first thing that she told me, the moment I stepped into this world.

"You don't star in music video especially with male artists. Remember that" she said after she made me reject a deal from Vevo.

I wanted to ask why we're doing this

"Its a music video shoot, darling" she corrects.

She starts to tell me how good for my image this music video shoot is going to be.

"What's the band called again?" I question.

"Boyband Project.' She replies in monotone.

Boyband project. I think i've heard of it recently but I can't quite place where.

I wanted to ask why we're doibg this Music Video thing now. But looking at her, she looks like she's ready to claw someone out which means she's in a bad mood... Or probably on PMS.

"You have to get going. You have a taping at three right?"

Shit. I almost forgot about the taping. Ofcourse. More interview and MORE drama with Alessandra coming right up!

I stand up from the comfy seats and kiss both of her cheeks, "you're right. I'll see you later."

************************************

"So how did it go?" Alyssa asks as she pop opens a Pepsi can that she took from the mini fridge and takes a sip from it.

"It's the usual. I'm flying to LA tonight right after the taping to star in a music video shoot." I reply

"Is it for Taylor Swift? The last music video you had was amazeballs!"

"Uhm no. It's for a boyband." I say as I grab the canned drink from her hand and take a sip from it.

We're not saliva conscious so it doesn't matter.

"Oh my gosh!" She squeals, her blue eyes piercing mine. "Is it one direction? Please tell me its one direction. Can you get me a signed shirt from Harry? And tell all of them to follow me? Plea--"

I cut her off, "no its not 1D, its--"

"The vamps?" She cuts me back. "Can you tell Brad I love his hair and that I said Hi?" She pleads, batting her eyelashes infront of me.

"No its not The Vamps either." I slunch back into the leather seat and rest my head to release the stress off my neck I take a deep breath and stare at her. "Boyband project"

"Boyband who?"

"Boyband project. Thats what they're called." I repeat.

"How come I've never heard of him?'

"Because they're still starting. They're a four-piece band.. Well it used to be five but one of them left for some personal reasons. Beatrice showed me some of their cover videos and--"

"Cover video?" She spits. "Are you kidding me? Why did Beatrice allow this?"

Its weird to hear my assistant rants about what my publicist and agent plans for me.

"I think its because Beatrice knows that they have what it takes. They have kick ass talent which is really amazing. In my opinion, they deserve to be known globally. They have the voice and looks to prove it."

No. No. No. No. I shouldn't have used the word looks because i know exactly what she's going to say.

"Looks? Really!" She almost screams, worry and concern noticeable in her tone. "You can't fall inlove and spill your heart out to the wrong person again. Remember how Ian almost destroyed your blossoming career?"

Ofcourse I remember that egotistic, famewhore and boneheaded Ian Collins. Two years ago, I went to Italy to do Italian Vogue and that's when I first met (and heard of) Ian- an american-Italian model, with the ash blonde, curly, mop hair and grey eyes. Looking at him, he's the typical heartbreaker but just like every heartbreaker, you wouldn't know until they have accomplished to shatter your brittle heart.
So anyway, we started "hanging out" and he brought me to the mountains(weird place to go on a date, i know). I was about to tell him my biggest secret that no one knew(except for Beatrice, Alyssa and Taylor Harding ofcourse) when I receive a phone call from Alyssa. Turns out, before we left to go to the mountains, Alyssa overheard Ian talk to someone on the phone which happened to be his real girlfriend and found out that He's onlu using me for the fame. That prick!
Long story short, I've never dated anyonel else since then.

"You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?" Alyssa continues.

"Ofcourse not. Besides i'm not going to LA to hunt guys. I'm going to do my job."

"I'm just saying... I don't want that to happen again."

Before I can say something that I know I will regret, the car pulls into a halt, stopping infront of the studio where we will be doing the shoot.

We rush inside and headed to the make up room. Alessandra is already seated infront of the huge mirror. Paul, his Make up artist, is already doing his magic for today's scene.
I sit to the chair next to her. She didn't say anything but at the corner of my eyes, i saw her roll her eyes.
I want to grab the eyeliner, Paul is using, and stab it in her eyeball but I am so full in my head, I don't want to have the usual bickering(I will not actually do that, ofcourse.)
For the next hour, I only hear the whizzing of Felipe's(my hairdresser) and Laura's (Alessandra's hairdresser) styling tools. Laura sets my hair into a low chignon. Today's scene is the "prom', where Zac Efron, my leading man, will confess his love for me.
After we finish in wardrobe, we head to the set (me wearing a Vera Wang Halter, fully beaded dress in a beautiful shade of Teal.
I take my mark next to Zac, on the soundstage. They turned the set into a basketball court, designed with hanging dim lights, while extras in Prom dresses, fill the stage. Felipe, my make up artist, Lexi, Laura and Paul stands patiently in one corner, waiting if any of us needs a retouch.

A quick run-through after, our Executive Producer, Ben calls, "ACTION"

After nailing the scene several minutes later, Alessandra, Zac and I sits in the director chair and do the behind-the-scenes Interview.

You must be really curious about Ashlee's "deep secret".

Forgive me for updating a day late and for posting a really short chapter. I was so busy doing college stuffs and we celebrated Independence Day earlier. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you. By the way, I changed the genre of this story. From Fanfiction, I transfer it to Teen Fiction.
For other news, I will be changing the cover of this story into the official one. Probably in seven days? I'm really excited for you guys to see it.
Don't forget to comment and vote and tell you friends and classmates about this. Tell everyone! Share it with your pets! Haha!
