"Where are we going?" I ask again after no one has answered me. We're now in the car and they still haven't told me. Ariana, Lou, Felix, Oscar and I are going with Oscars Car, Omar and Olly went with Olly's tiny one.
"We have a meeting with our managers." Is all that Oscars answers. "Alicia's Parents?" I want to know and Oscar nods. "Don't worry they're not as bad as Alicia." Lou whispers to me which doesn't make me feel any better.
When we arrive at the huge office building, I get kinda exited. Maybe I get to see some work of the boys now...
We enter the impressive building and I can't stop being amazed. It's so pretty! Ok never mind no one cares how a stupid office building looks we wanna know the story!
Ok but the building looks like the one in 'the devil wears Prada' .
We walk to the elevator where Olly and Omar are already waiting for us even though we left before them. We had to stop at a espresso house to buy coffee and that's why we're late.
I smile at Olly and hook my arm into his. He welcomes it and strokes my hand to calm my nerves. I'm about to meet the devils parents. But before that happens, Alicia herself shows up. "Good morning Ariana how was your morning so far?" She cheers and gives Ariana kisses on each cheek. Then she looks at me with despise. I watch her as she goes over to Oscar who is standing behind us and he puts his arm over her shoulder. I turn back around "Is she Olly's new chick?" I can hear her say clearly. "She's his new best friend and no ones chick really." Oscar replies and then the elevator doors open. We all go in and suddenly I have to think about this movie I once watched with a friend. It basically played inside an elevator and everyone died. But they died because everyone had a secret so I'm probably most likely to die first. But nothing happens. Of course. The elevator just goes straight up to the top of the building. No one is talking and the only sound there is is the elevator song playing. "Does anyone know that song. It's kinda catchy..." I say moving my foot to the beat. It sounds really good.

Hey! There's no other way,
It's the way of li-fe.
You gotta get right now somehow and whistle like:

I hum along and at the second chorus, I can almost sing the words along. Then I realize that everyone is looking at me. They all look pretty amused. "What?" I smile sheepishly.
"That's our song whistle." Omar says and everyone starts chuckling. Before I can reply anything the doors open again and we all get out. White walls welcome us and there are many people running around. When Oscar is about to walk through the elevator doors, I hold him back. Then I wait until everyone is out of earshot and start talking.
"Oscar I don't know for how long I can keep doing this-"
"I know love!" He interrupts me
"Which is why I will tell Ariana and her parents that I need to break up with her today!"
"Are you sure?" I say but I really hope he is. "It might destroy your career!"
"I am sure let's get to the others." He answers smiling and we head after the others.

"Maybe the girls should wait outside." Alicia's mother says. She looks exactly like her daughter. She introduced herself as 'Beatrice' and the little guy with glasses next to her said his name was Darius. He looks like the kind of guy that gets killed first when there's a zombie attack.
So while the boys go inside the conference room, Lou, Ariana and I sit down on a bench in front of the glass doors. We can see what they're doing but not what they're saying. First they seem to look at some Fan tweets that are really nice and lovely. They reply to those who have important questions and then Beatrice turns to them with a serious face. In that moment an intern goes through the door and for a second we can hear what she says: "We need to find a solution to the fact that the fans dont like that Alicia is Oscars girlfriend." Then the doors close again. I see that Oscar wants to say something but Alicia cuts him off. She says something and smiles like she's been crowned as the queen of England. Oscar turns white. His eyes fly over to me who is watching him closely. Then he shakes his head and gets up. He says something again. He seems angry. Beatrice makes a move with her hand to calm him and he sits down again. "What's going on in there?" I ask Lou but she only shakes her head since she doesn't know. Oscar keeps shaking his had. He looks like he's rejecting an offer. Alicia puts her hand on his arm. Then she talks to him convincing. He looks back at her. I see his lips form the word 'fine'. Alicia jumps up from her chair and claps her hand in excitement. She's so girly! It makes me giggle.
Oscar says something looking at Olly who nods and gets up. Oscars expression is more serious than ever. A few seconds later everyone gets up. Olly hurries to get out and comes through the doors first. He looks at me and his facial expression tells me to get up. So  I do.  Then he grabs my arm and pulls me down the hall. "What's happening? Olly where are we going!" That seems to be the question of the day.
"We're leaving. You don't want to be around Alicia right now." Is all he replies and pulls me into the elevator. "Wow! Newsflash: I never want to be around Alicia." I say exasperated.
"Now is different." Olly says and pushes the button for the ground floor. "Why? What happened in there?" I ask but he doesn't answer.
"Did Oscar break up with her?" I ask even though I know better than believing that.
"No. Klara I'm sorry." Olly says. He feels bad for me for some reason.
"What for?? Olly just tell me!"
"Let's just get home." He replies and looks at the display that shows what floor we're in.
I give up to get it out of him and we silently stand next to each other. When the doors open there are, what it seems like, a thousand paparazzi. All waiting for the boys to come out. In the elevator Olly has taken on some sunglasses and put the hood of his hoodie deep in his face. The paparazzi don't even notice us. Olly pulls me out of the building and to his car. We jump in and he turns on the engine. The drive back to the loft goes fast and without any disturbances. When we arrive, Olly tells me to sit on the couch and watch some TV. I don't want to so I go to my room. But there's nothing to do so I leave again. Olly is on the phone with someone. "Yeah we're here. ... No she's fine.... Not yet. Dude you're insane for doing this. ... Yeah c ya!" He hangs up. "Was that Oscar?" I ask but again Olly doesn't answer.
"Why won't you tell me what happened?" I ask in a very normal tone. "I'm not in the place to tell you." He says and so I decide to follow his instruction to watch TV. I fall down on the couch and grab the remote. I turn on the TV. The channel that comes up shows a news lady. She stands in the middle of a crowd of paparazzi.
"I'm standing right here in the artist house Stockholm where one of the members of the most popular boy band of Sweden is about to tell us what is going on between him and his girlfriend Alicia Jones. I'm here with Oscar Enestad from 'The Fooo Conspiracy' how are you doing?" The camera moves to the side where Oscar stands. But not just him nooo! Next to him stands Alicia. Pressed on him like she's drowning and he's the only thing that could safe her life.
"I'm good Carin! How are you!" Oscar answers and the despair I saw in his face is gone.
"I'm great! Thank you! So tell us! What are the great news?!" She says and my heart starts pounding faster. Before Oscar can say anything, Alicia screams cheering into the camera: "we're getting married!"



★★★

I hope this is enough drama for now! A lot of you told me to get more drama going and there you go. I have a lot more to come. And no I can not have Alicia find out about Oscar and Klerii because that would ruin the story's purpose!

Love y'all! ❤❤
