Chapter 7: The interview

(THANK U SM FOR 130 READSS! 🫶🫶 love u guys! this is an insane goal of mine for atleast 100 and im so glad I reached this milestone 💜)

Veneer's POV:

Me and Ritz were in the building and after a couple staircases later, we were in the recording room. I was still really nervous, I kept thinking of Velvet and how she handled everything and prevented me from panicking on national television for fucks sake. I really have to hand it to her she knew I freak out easily and I don't think anyone will understand me as good as her, I miss her.

"Alright everyone in your places we're rolling in 1 minute" One of the directors shouts

I trembled over into the same seat I sat in before, everything looked the same but there was only one seat.. Ritz was already in his seats and was re-reading his questions.

Action!"

"Welcome everyone to Bop on Top, today we have a special interview with ex-songwriter Veneer."

I shyly waved to the camera, trying to not make it obvious I was on the verge of shitting my pants in fear.

"So Veneer, do you still want to pursue being a songwriter after everything that happened?"

"Yes, I want to still be a songwriter because it's always been a passion of mine and I really love singing and I've always been interested in getting more lessons"

Touche, after using trolls for talent.. I never told Velvet that I could actually sing. It was all just an act to make her happy, as always. 

"Alright nice answer, next question is from the fans, do you have a love interest?"

I giggled

"Well I am catching feelings for someone but im trying to stray it away until I'm sure this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with."

I obviously knew who it was.. ever since I talked to Ritz I just had this attraction and comfort whenever I was around him and I felt so safe with him than anyone else I have ever met before. It was too soon of a crush and I'm sure he's not even gay. 

Why would he chose me.

"Last question, why did you confess your wrongdoings?"

I started fidgeting with my hands a lot and I took a deep breath in and collected my words into one, trying not to stutter.

"Well I knew it was the right thing to do, I really do love my sister but all the built up stress and remorse with keeping up on this lie I knew it wasnt meant to be and I couldn't keep it up forever. I always followed along with what Velvet wanted, I wanted her to be happy and I let myself get blinded by her and I did horrible things and if she wasn't going to admit it, I was"

"Nice that's all the time we have today ladies and gentlemen, make sure to tune in next time to meet the popular Mount Rageon Li vida who is releasing a new song soon. That's all good day!"

I rushed off the set without anyone seeing me. I didn't think being there would bring back so much more pain. It's only a recording set why did it bother me so much.

KidRitz's POV:

The interview went alright until the end, I could tell that question really made him uncomfortable and I felt bad

"I'm sorry about that last question Veneer I-"

I stopped in my tracks and realized he wasn't even there, where could he have gone. I started shouting out for him and looking everywhere.

"VENEER, Veneer please we have to go home where are you why did you run off?"

I finally resorted to the last place and found him sitting down with his knees up to his chest while he was holding back tears.

"VENEER! what's wrong? is it what I said I'm so so sorry I didn't mean for it to rub it off on you the wrong way"

"No just.. I'm just being a crybaby right now its.."

he stopped talking and put his head down and started sniffling

"It's normal to feel this way, I shouldn't have asked that I made you feel horrible and-"

"ITS NOT THAT.. its not.."

"Well what is it?"

"It's just being in that same seat again.. without the other chair being there it just brought back so much pain, I shouldn't have done the interview I knew I was gonna break down like this but I still just want to be a fucking people pleaser all the time. I'm sorry I yelled im just so lost again"

I hated seeing him this way but I didn't think the room was what triggered him. I sat down beside him and lifted his head up and put my hands on his cheeks softly and made him face towards me

"Veneer listen, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way but nothing like that will ever happen again and I'll make sure of it. Sometimes familiar places can make us feel uneasy and that's completely normal but you got through the whole interview without walking out and I'm so proud of you, if I knew how uncomfortable this place made you I wouldn't have asked you to come so please next time let me know how you feel"

I saw him blush and I completely forgot I was holding his head and I quickly let go and blush

"I'm so sorry I-"

"It's fine don't worry I really appreciate you dealing with me and I don't know how to thank you enough I'm so grateful to have someone like you, I really like you"

he looked at me with such passionate eyes, It was like I was shot by cupid, his eyes just swooned me and I had never felt this way before

"Wait- NOT LIKE THAT your just a great person and and-"

I put my hand on his shoulder

"I know what you mean veneer"

I did know what he meant, he doesn't like me like that and I need to stop deluding myself to that.

we both laughed and I clocked out so we could go somewhere, somewhere special. I don't want to rush into a relationship but I just want to spend time with him really badly. Im sure he doesn't feel the same so

Why would he choose me?.
