Hired for Him. // a.f.i.

Chapter nine.

Rae

I stood at the backstage to watch the boys perform live for the first time. I went to a concert before but I've never been in the backstage because I'm poor and shít.

The boys were preparing for the show. They were putting ear pieces and talking to each other.

"Okay guys, places!" a staff clasped his hands as he told the boys.

They nodded and they were lead to the stage. They were about to walk pass by me so I shot them a smile.

"Good luck, you guys! Rock out there." I exclaimed.

"Thanks, Rae!" Michael gave me a high five. Calum and Luke thanked me enthusiastically too but Ashton just gave me a nod.

I sighed to myself and pretended that did not happen.

The show started, them appearing on the stage earning loud screams from thousands of girls. The feeling was foreign because I'm not in the audience but at the backstage.

They started the show with 'End Up Here'. I have to admit, the song is pretty sick.

After a few songs, they spoke to the audience. They introduced themselves and joked around.

At one point, Luke and I made eye contact while they were singing 'Kiss Me Kiss Me', he gave me a wink. I blushed at his action and shot him a smile in return.

The show was about to come to an end because they announced the last song that they will be performing but audience still screamed louder.

I'm quite enjoying my first day except for the fact that Ashton Irwin a.k.a the guy I should be in a relationship with doesn't even want to make eye contact with me.

It really sucks.

Ashton

Ugh.

I hate this feeling! Why does it have to be me? Why can't it be Luke or Calum or Michael to do this? They seemed okay if they were to do this act.

I just don't understand why do they have to hire somebody to act as my girlfriend? For me its pretty stupid. Yes, I know its for the band's advantage but I don't think I can do it. I have to lie to our fans which makes it worse.

I already told the management that I'm not up for it but apparently I have no choice so I have to suck it up. I was in a bad mood for days ever since they told me about it. The boys were definitely concerned but I told them that I'll be fine.

Hopefully.

Today, we're about to meet the girl before the show starts. We waited for Richard in the dressing room since he texted me that they arrived.

"They're coming." I muttered after seeing the text.

The three boys looked very excited which annoys me. It seems like my misery makes them happy.

"Oh come on Ash! Its really not that bad when you look at it." Calum said while fixing his hair in the mirror.

I shot him a glare as I seated at the couch.

"We really appreciate this sacrifice. Don't think that we're not with you on this." Luke said cheering me up.

I just sighed in response when a knock on the door was heard.

They're here. She's here.

Michael opened the door as I expected hell to come in to the room.

But I did not expect that hell could look brown eyed and beautiful.

Focus Ashton! You still have to lie and pretend which is not good.
