All The Stars-Jack Harlow-FINISHED

Tainted

"The label wants to release the EP Ettinnette" Joey said as soon as Ettinnette sighed picking up her phone. "Then release I don't care" Ettinnette replied shortly not looking up from where she scrolled through her email aimlessly. "They want you to do promo for it" Joey said tapping the desk so Ettinnette could look up at her.

"Tell them to just surprise release it" Ettinnette asked playing with the bracelets all on her arms as Joey let out a sigh at her absent minded behavior. "Fine, They'll be pushback though" She said as Ettinnette nodded standing up as her phone went off in her pocket . "Whatever, I got that studio thing with Roddy today and my doctor's apartment so I'll text you later" Nette said quietly getting up and checking her phone. "Okay, you gonna be okay?" she asked her friend who turned back with watery eyes.

"I'll text you later"

"Okay so I have this one track with this bomb ass sample from Kelly Clarkson" she says pulling up the track and playing it for him. Roddy nodded along as a little smile played against his lips. "Who knew America's sweetheart could produce?" he said leaning closer into her as she tenses up from where she was sitting at the soundboard. "Yeah, I can even add this orchestra thing that I think would be cool to it" She said, moving away from him. "Bet,Is the sample cleared?" he asked not noticing how uncomfortable she had gotten.

She played them and then went into the piano verse until she felt someone's presence over her. Her throat started to close up on her out of pure fear as she shifted from him. "Umm, can you back up?" she said quietly as he looked at her confused. "Of course, Sorry I ain't mean to make you uncomfortable" he said quickly as she nodded. "No you're good, Imma go to the restroom real quick" she said quickly getting up as sobs started to shake through her chest. She silently cried as she locked herself in a stall wishing she was anywhere but there.

"What you doing here?" Ettinnette asked opening her door to be met with her ex-boyfriend with a target bag in his hands. "I can't check up on you now?" Jack asked with a smile on his face as Ettinnette shook her head immediately. "No! It's not that it's...Nothing. Come in" She says moving aside so he could walk into the house. "I got you something" he says holding up the bag they walked into her kitchen. "Chocolate?" she says looking in the bag and smiling up at him.

"Yeah they're your favorite" he says shrugging as she studies the cookies and cream hershey bars in the bag. "Thank you" she says smiling up at him as her doorbell rings. She mutters a 'give me a sec' answering her door to be met with...her manager??

"Hey can we talk?" She asked immediately as Ettinnette opened the door. "Sure?" she said leading Joey into her room. "How'd it go?" Joey asked as soon as Ettinnette closed the room door. "Fine. Doctor said my arm should be healed before second leg of the tour" Ettinnette said shooting Joey a small smile as Joey sighed. "Girl I don't care about that. What matters is your health, we'll postpone the tour if we have too" Joey says as her eyes dart from Ettinnette's cheek that held the large scar from where he had cut her and her broken arm. Ettinnette immediately noticed this and sighed.

"What're you doing here Joey? I know you didn't just come here to ask about that dumb ass appointment" Ettinnette said looking down at her nails. "Fine. I'm worried about you. Ever since it happened you've been cooped up in your house unless you got work and it's not healthy" Joey confessed making Ettinnette sigh. "Don't be, i'm fine" she replied shortly trying to leave the room but to no avail.

"It's obviously you're not fine Nette. You can't let what he did control the rest of your life" Joey said blocking Ettinnette from the door. "I don't wanna talk about this shit right now" Ettinnette said trying to get through so she could leave the conversation behind. "Are you even gonna think about it?" Joey asked grabbing Ettinnette arm to pull her back as Ettinnette smacked her teeth. "What's going to court finna do? So everybody can say i'm lying or worse blame me for that shit? So it can damage my career!?" Ettinnette asked honestly tired of the whole situation.
