Can't I Forget ?

"It's okay" Elle said as she hugged me. After me and Luke said our goodbyes I immediately called her to come outside.

"Elle ! They are just... I just... I don't know if I can do this anymore" I said "maybe we should just drop the record label and get someone else to sign us, I mean, this has gotten way too personal" I continued

"Jay, from the moment you walked into that conference room and saw their gorgeous faces, you knew this was going to get personal" she said. I sighed, I knew it was true. When I looked at their faces I knew I would get infatuated with one of them, hopefully. But, I guess my wish was granted.... More then granted. But the worst part is, is that I'm still trying to decide if it's even fair to choose one of them.

"What if I do what I was planning to do and just try all three of them, and then one of them feels used or upset, then what do I do ?" I asked.

"we are the ones who signed that contract. we run this show, literally and figuratively, so, we can leave the second anything goes wrong." She said reassuringly.

"But Luke, he was so heart broken. I don't want to make him feel like I was using him or something like that" I sniffled. After I said those words I imagined walking into the familiar meeting room, and Luke not being able to as much look in my direction. I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't even notice Elle was talking.

"Heloooo ! I'm giving you advice and you don't even answer." She said. I blinked and immediately brought my attention back to her.

"Elle, I'm just going to do my original plan and see how things turn out. Nobody's perfect, so why am I trying to be ?" I said. She nodded.

"That makes sense, but for now, let's just forget about all of that, tomorrow will be our boy-free, work-free, stress- free day. Let's go home and get some rest. This is never going to fix itself overnight." She said. I nodded and we hailed over taxi to walk home. Forget those boys, all I want is to sleep and spend tomorrow with Elle.

As we were on our way home in a taxi I widened my eyes remembering my date with Calum that was the day after tomorrow. I was so happy he asked me, but... Now I just want to cancel. But that's not the plan is it ? I sighed, just deciding to deal with the bumps in the road as they come.

"Ughhhh what now mom ?" I said groggily

"We're home Jay. And it's Elle by the way. And I'm going to take that as a complement because your mom is queen" I heard someone ramble on. I slowly opened my eyes. I tried to get out but a seatbelt held me back.

"Jeez Jay, you only slept for 20 minutes and you already forgot how to use a seatbelt ?"

"No I didn't forget, I'm just tired" I said. I undid the seatbelt, waited for Elle to finish paying the cab, then got out and shivered at the cold city air.

" it's times like these when I wonder why we never considered living in California" Elle complained while I opened the building door.

"Mmmm so nice and warm" she said, rubbing her arms as we entered our apartment.

"Yeah, it feels nice to be warm" I said with a yawn. "I'm going to head to bed, G'night mate" I said mocking the boys accents.

"G'night" Elle said laughing. I went to my room, changed and went to sleep. I was so tired I didn't even let Calum know I got home safe. I sighed when I laid down, I'll tell him tomorrow. Right now, I just want to sleep.
