House of fame

Scandal 1/2

Your POV: I was in bed just checking my followers. Then I come across a post about Gabbie. To say what was posted was shocking is a complete understatement. I immediately screenshot it and send it to our manager who reps everyone in the house. I don't get a response but I know I can't wait for the others to find out themselves. I run to Gabbie and Kris's room immediately. I frantically bang on their door hoping Gabbie is home. "Dude chill out, what's wrong?" Kris said annoyed at my aggressive banging and frantic look. "L-look!" I said showing her the post. Her mouth just drops. "Is it real?!" She asked raising her voice. "SHHHHH! I don't want anyone else knowing." "Does our manager know?" She said is a whisper. "I sent it to them, I just am waiting for them to respond. Where is she? We need to find her before this starts trending and paparazzi get to her." I say also in a whisper. "She's at a fundraising event. Chances of us getting to her first is about impossible. So many celebrities are there." "Fuck! We have to get ahold of her." I say already scrolling through my lengthy contact list. I find Gabbie and immediately spam call her. "Hello?" "Oh Gabbie thank god! Listen, you need to come home!" "What, why, what's wrong?" "Just come home before you get bombarded with paparazzi!" "Okay, stop whispering first of all, and second of all, I can't just leave a fundraiser. That's not how this works, you know that." "DUDE I WILL SHOW UP THERE AND DRAG YOU KICKING AND SCREAMING HOME IF YOU DON'T COME HOME!" Kris screams into the phone. Unfortunately this attracted Jonah from his and Marks room. "What's going on-" "Nothing!" I say quickly. "Do NOT yell at me! You better have a good reason dragging me home!" Gabbie yells back and Kris into my phone. "That was nothing?" Jonah says sarcastically. "Dude, trust me! Just. Come. Home." Kris begs into my phone she snatched out of my hand. "Why are you guys screaming into the phone? Is that Gabbie? What's going on y/n?" Fuck. "Okay look, I can't tell you. It's really important that the more who don't know, the better." "So, you do realize we live in the same house? Whatever happens we all know about. Not because we snoop but because we live together, it's hard to hide." "I'M ON MY WAY HOME KRIS STOP YELLING AT ME!" "Kris since y/n won't tell me what's going on, you tell me-" "I'M YELLING AT YOU BECAUSE THIS IS SERIOUS!" So much for keeping this quiet. "If you all don't shut the bloody hell up!" Sean screams from his and Daniel's room. Great now he and Daniel might get involved. Fucking lovely. "That's it, Kris shut up, Gabbie come home as fast as possible, and avoid all paparazzi. And if our manager reaches out, pick it up. Jonah, please just go back to your room. AND SEAN, I'M SORRY!" I say trying to get the chaos under control. "WHATEVER!" "Bro really?" "Fine I'm on my way home." "She's crazy!" They all responded. Gabbie hangs up leaving me, Kris and Jonah standing in the hallway. "Okay, are we all good?" "I guess-" "No, no we're not. Tell me what's going on or I'm getting the others!" "Jonah, what don't you get! The less who know the better. Just know it's something that involves Gabbie!" "That also involves our manager and her staying away from the paparazzi?" Kris thankfully intervenes. "Dude, this could break all of us. The more who know the more likely it looks we were all complicit in what's happening! Leave it alone and be thankful you don't know! Me and y/n know because they seen it online and I am her roommate so they came to our room looking for Gabbie and told me to try and find her because again I'm her roommate!" Jonah stood there mixed with emotion. "So you two knowing can affect your careers along with Gabbie's? It could affect all of our careers? Then shouldn't we know?" "The less you know the less likely it looks you were complicit in this." I explain just like Kris did. "Fine, but if mine and the boys music career crashes because of this, you are all on your own." "Whatever it takes to make you but out!" Kris says frustrated. "What didn't you all get about shutting up!" Daniel says from his and Sean's doorway. "Sorry we just got done talking." I explain. Daniel just shakes his head frustrated and goes back to his room. Jonah goes downstairs shaking his head frustrated. Me and Kris wait in her and Gabbie's room, waiting for her to return and to hear back from management. "Where is she!" Kris says frustrated and also worried about Gabbie's well being. And as if timing couldn't be any better, Gabbie walks in. "I'm here, and thanks to you two, I am now in poor standing with the non-profit organization. "If you think you leaving was bad for you on a career stance, just look at what y/n has to show you." Gabbie looks at me throwing her arms up. "Well?" She says annoyed. I show her the post. She reads it getting more and more worried. "Wh-what the hell is this?! H-how!" "I saw it scrolling through my feed and seen it. You have to lay low till our manager gets this squared away." I explain. "B-but what if they can't square it away! What am I supposed to do then? How can I show my face online let alone outside! I will be blacklisted!" "No you won't! It's not true and our manager is great at dealing with these types of things. Just breathe Gabbie." Kris says taking Gabbie's hands in her own. They both sit on Kris's bed while I stayed sitting on Gabbie's. "Call our manager!" I say like it wasn't obvious. Gabbie immediately pops her phone out with Kris over her shoulder. She put the phone on speaker and lets it ring. "Hey Gabbie girl! What's up? Is everything okay with y/n, they reached out earlier but I haven't had the time to read their message, I've been driving all day." "Y/n reached out regarding a post made about me by a local news station that makes post about celebrities. And it's bad. I'm ruined if this gets out!" "Okay, okay, calm down Gabbie girl. Let me pull over and look at this." "Please make this go away! It can ruin my life and the others too if they are seen as complicit!" "Okay I'm reading it right now give me a sec." We all sat in silence while our manager read the message. "Holy...Gabbie are you home?" "Yes Kris and y/n told me to leave the event I was at today." "Okay I'm glad you came home. Have you been approached by paparazzi at all at that event?" "No, I had my picture taken but that was it." "Okay, you are all to stay in the house till I get this squared away. Do not tell anyone, and tell Kris and y/n the same." "We can hear you, you're on speaker in mine whe Gabbie's room with y/n sitting across from us." "Okay, you two don't say a word. I'll tell everyone else to stay home and cancel all plans that regard leaving the house. If any of the others get suspicious of you three or see the post, call me immediately! This is one of those things that the less who know the better. It's damage control at this point." "Jonah is suspicious of us. We were in front of mine and Gabbie's door in the hall talking to Gabbie asking her to come home and Jonah overheard us yelling at Gabbie to come home and he's pretty pissed we  won't tell him what's so important we are dragging Gabbie home from her non-profit and why she can't be here paparazzi or interact with them." Kris explained. "Okay, I'll talk to Jonah, you three, don't make any posts, don't call anyone or accept calls unless from me, and don't leave the house or interact with paparazzi. I'll call you all soon. Bye guys." "Well this is fucking great!" Gabbie says nearly in tears.
