My Leading Lady (Jelsa)

Believe

Jack's POV

I saw Elsa Arens in person. She had this strong and warm kind of aura. She looked a bit too strong for a woman... She was I guess the real definition of a LADY.

I don't know her yet so I shouldn't be saying that. After all, she might be like other girls.. Faking their feelings and stunts. She might just want fame and nothing else.
People nowadays are like that, I shouldn't be surprised.

I wonder why they called me. New project? New news?

I saw Dennis, he is the vice president of Perfect and he was the one who helped me fulfill my dream. I trust him more than the president.

"Hey, Dennis." I greeted him and when he saw me, he smiled.

"Hi, Jack.. So, your mom told you?" he asked and I bit my lower lip.

"Yeah, I threw my first phone number since some fans knew my phone number and leaked it. I have to use my second one." I said and he laughed at me.

"Get used to it.. Fans are better than FBI... I mean imagine, how could they get your phone number? How could they hack security cameras from the airport? How? See? Better than FBI." he said and we both laughed.

"I guess you're right.. I'm going to give you my phone number later, okay?" I said and he pat my shoulder.

"Sure. Now let's have a meeting in our office.." he told me.

"The president wouldn't be with us?" I asked and we walked together to his office.

"No.. He said he has better things to deal with. You know him." he tild me and I wasn't that surprised with what he said.

Well, I was used to it.. I was Dennis' always bet..

From the start, the president didn't believe in me. He said I was too young, too naive. He said nobody would like me and they would find me weird because of my white hair.

But Dennis believed in me. He arranged many meetings and tried to convince him. The president wasn't pleased that much but he said he'll give me a one-month trial.

I posted a video of me singing a cover of an acoustic verion of Night Changes by One Direction in youtube.

I chose that song because..

1) That song hit me really hard. I relate to it in some way.

2) My vocals sounded really good in the song

3) I know that there are a lot of 1D fans and they would probably view it...

It got 800,000 views in 5 days. It was spreading in the internet. Thousands of people started following me in twitter. And for just a month trial, the lights focused on me.

Well, my secret was to believe in myself.

We entered the room and he sat down on his swivel chair behind his desk. I sat down on the couch in his office and he cleared his throat. I looked at him in the eyes to read him, but he was serious as hell and it was hard for me.

''So, Jack.. How's your vacation?'' he asked me and I chuckled a bit.

''Not yet enjoying it, sir... It's just been a week.'' I mumbled and he nods.

''Well, I have a project ready for you when you come back.. So give me your new phone number so you could tell me when you want to come back.'' he told me. I gave him my calling card and I became curious about the project he was talking about.

''So, what's the project you're planning to give me?'' I asked him and he became more serious than earlier. Damn.

''Well, we both know that the president doesn't bet on you that much. Then, Ms. Arens comes in and he definitely likes her. He thinks she'll capture everyone's attention just like what happened to you when you were a beginner. We had our private meeting. Just the two of us. He said in order for you to please him, he's giving both of you a project. To see if the two of you will click.

He's planning to make you to a love team. You two will have a tv show and when it gets high ratings, he'll definitely like you.. fully. I mean, this is your chance, Jack.. to show him that you are the best actor!'' he laughs and I put my hand on my forehead. 

Oh my God... I.. I don't know. Working on a tv show is hard. I'll have to concentrate on it and really give my best. It's a good offer though.

''So that means, She'll be My Leading Lady if it happens?'' I asked and he nodded. I stood up and shook his hand.

''I'll call you.. When I'm coming back.''

Elsa's POV

''Elsa, you are the best! You're gonna have a concert, and then guys will chase on you, and maybe have your own star on the floor!'' Anna cheered for me and I giggle.

''Oh, Anna.'' I sighed.

''So, what's your first step as an artist?'' she asks me excitingly. I checked my phone and hummed.

''Seems like James Corden will be interviewing me tomorrow.'' I said and her eyes sparkled.

''Oh my God! I am so gonna watch that one tomorrow! He's like my favourite interviewer. He's such a funny and straight forward guy. Be careful though Elsa. Since he's a straight forward guy, he could ask you personal questions right away.'' she warned me and I smile at her.

''Of course, Anna. I don't have to be nervous though. I mean I just have to answer them with the truth.'' I said and she pats my shoulder.

''Nice on, Elsa. I'm sure you'll have fans sooner than we both think.'' she tells me and I hug her.

''Just.. please stay the same Elsa.'' she whispers and I hug her back.

''Yes, Anna. I won't be like those other artists... I promise.'' I said.

Josh's POV

I turned off the television when I saw her come out of that building. Strange feelings rushed in me. I'm starting to regret... 

''Josh, why did you turn the television off?'' Violet asked me. She sat down beside me and she was carrying our one year old son. Our house wasn't that big. But it wasn't small too. It was a perfect house to raise a child. 

''Nothing.'' I told her and then baby Joel started to cry. I looked at them as Violet rocked him and shushed him softly. I smile a bit. I have nothing to regret, I have them.

I kiss Violet's cheek and carry Joel in my arms. Violet sighs and leans back on the couch.

''You look tired... You should get some rest.. Don't worry about Joel, I'll take care of him.'' I told her and she smiles at me.

''Thank you, honey.'' she said and pecks me on my lips. She stood up and went in our bedroom to sleep. I looked at baby Joel who was asleep too. I stood up and went to put him in his crib. I turned on the television again. I kept on switching the channels. I didn't enjoy it that much, my mind was flying off to somewhere else.

What ifs were taking my mind.

What if I didn't cheat on Elsa?

What if, we're together until now?

Would we be strong? Would our life be perfect.

In all those questions, I knew that I couldn't answer them.

Because it's too late, and I can't change that.
