Change My Mind | Gracie X Olivia

best new artist? (27)

As I sat on the sofa cuddled up to my dog Weenie, I watched as they announced the nominees for the next Grammys. Honestly, I was watching to see what Olivia would be nominated for more than what I was. so you can see my surprise considering I didn't expect to see my name for anything when the little robot voice announced the best new artist nominees my name was at the top of the fucking list. This can't be real, I thought to myself as I sat in silence. "What the fuck? I need to call my mum."

With my words, I immediately told my mother the good news about my nomination, which made her tear up. "My baby's all grown up," she said as tears spilled from her eyes. "Your brothers are gonna be so excited to hear the news.. and JJ, too, " Katie said before an awkward silence fell over their call. "Still, I can't believe my daughter is a Grammy nominee! Your boyfriend had an album come out this year, too. What was it called.. never mind, either way, did he get nominated for anything?" Said Katie, causing a lump to form in Gracie's throat because of his mention.

"Oh um no his album wasn't nominated for anything. It got really bad reviews. " I uncomfortably chuckled as I looked through my contacts list of people congratulating me on the news, but no Olivia in sight. "So sorry, but I gotta go and call my manager and stuff about the news. Bye, mum!"

"Bye, sweetie," she replied as I hung up, letting out a sigh of relief as I ran a hand down my face and checked back to my phone. 'I can call Jesse later. I'll just enjoy this moment while it lasts,' I thought as I pat the weenie beside me just knowing that this is gonna be one hell of a month.

So there I was, the night of the best new artist party, in my pyjamas staring at the photos Gracie had posted of herself on Instagram. She was wearing a gorgeous black lace dress with a thicker fabric towards the bottom. I was almost drooling at the sight of the girl, Her smile was just so bright it was blinding as she stared back at me through the screen. Right as I swiped to the next photo on the post, I saw the photo of him in a matching black lace dress shirt and a black suit to go with. I get it. He's done nothing wrong. He's a good-looking guy, probably a good person too. I was happy for her but as much as I tried I couldn't help the feeling of ... jealousy.

Jealousy rushed over me as I saw my manager, Michael, and his boyfriend Jesse smiling and giggling as they interacted with one another in the back of the BMW we rented. They were so happy and comfortable with who they were and who they were with, and here I was, moping over a girl who was probably out clubbing with tate or something even though I had my "boyfriend" right next to me.

As we pulled up to the event, I put my happy face on as I stepped out of the car, being instantly harassed by paparazzi. I held Leo's hand tightly as we made our way to the carpet. the cold air brushed against my skin in the thin lace shirt i was wearing. as we made our way up the carpet being yelled at from all angles by the ruthless paparatzi. mid way through the carpet, leo took notice of my shivering and handed me his blazer, which was acoponied by a sweet smile. My mind was shrouded by guilt, but I kept my model face on and eyes to the cameras.

As we came to the end of the carpet, leo wandered off to some old friend of his, leaving me to aimlessly make small talk to random people just trying not to look dumb. At one point, conan came up to me, too.

"Oh, gracie. I've um, been looking for you." Gray said as he approached me in his statement piece of a striped sparkly suit jacket. "Not sure if she wants to talk to me, but if you could just hear me out, I wanna to apologise for what I did to her, it aas really shitty of me to go behind her back and date her asshole of an ex and I just wanna say I'm sorry." He rambled as he played with the rings that were wrapped around his fingers.

At his words, I was left dumbfounded, just mentally stumbling for a fitting response. The man seemed genuinely remorseful and was no doubt missing his best friend. He had the shine of tears glazed over his eyes as he anticipated my response. The truth was we hadn't been talking recently either, but he'd just poured his heart out to me so I couldn't tell him that.

Before I could say anything else, I was quickly pulled away by a stage manager. "Gracie, we've been looking for you. You need to go onstage in 20, and you're not even changed yet." The stressed man with the glasses said as he walked me to the dressing room backstage. There was a suit with scattered numbers hung on the wall that my manager had brought here for me. I quickly got changed as I heard pounding on the other side of the door.

"Give me a sec!" I yelled back as I buttoned up my shirt before the door was pushed open by a taller man with a shirt that looked a size too small. "Who are you, and why are you barging into my dressing room?" I said, picking up my suit jacket from the couch beside me.

"Oh, you may not know me, but I'm sure you'd know my dear friend Cameron." The young man said with a grin of pleasure covering his wicked face.

Gracie walked out on the stage with a gutair, and her hair long. A happy look covered her face, but those she was close to could tell something was off. It was a stunning performance, but something happened backstage that liv couldn't quite put her finger on. Of course, it was no use wondering since she was sitting alone in her bed on a Saturday night. She contemplated texting her, even going as far as clicking on her contact and seeing the painful messages that got her into this mess, but there she saw that do not disturb was on and took it as a sign.

She's done with you. Get over her.

A/n : I'm so sorry this took so long to get out. I've just been having some trouble keeping up with school recently. I hope y'all can understand.

On a separate note, IM ACTUALLY IN LOVE WITH RISK IM SO EXITED FOR THE NEW ALBUMMM💛💛
