Here we go...
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"Maybe I shouldn't go, I'm already mad at him." Veronica combs my straight dark brown hair, and grabs my shoulders. "Go for the experience, not Jack." I smiled, and nodded.

Just 4 hours ago, Jack and I were standing right here. Right here was when he found out that I actually kind of liked him. Despite his non-comical sexual humor, and snarky comments, he's not that bad.

But you know, I'm not a celebrity. I'm not all attractive, and I can barley hold a job, so it makes sense for him to not like me. It matches all stereotypes I guess. Popular with popular, and nerds with nobody.

It's pretty obvious, that I'm the nerd. Besides who knows, maybe I'll find a cute hot guy there, who likes me for my personality and not my wealth. I grabbed a black leather jacket,
my camera, and  some very hard to walk in, black heels. I already began to get uncomfortable in them, but you know what they say, pretty hurts.

"Alright V, the limo is waiting outside for me!" I walked towards the door and I was out.

The entire ride there was filled with awkward silence. I could barely look at Jack. I could tell he wanted to say something, but I wasn't interested in even talking to him.

"Maddie?" I looked at him immediately. Nobody has ever called me Maddie before. I had to look away, I can't talk to him. He grabbed my chin, and pulled my face towards his face. "You look stunning." Our lips were inches away, but he released my chin and returned to his normal position.

I was left mesmerized, shocked, unexplainably drifted into some other universe. I can tell he was embarrassed.

See I can tell what a person is thinking, or feeling within one glance. I've been studying pictures for so long.

Pictures can tell a thousand words. The emotions that we can build, and present through our faces or actions, I can tell. I pay attention to the little details like that, and that's what makes taking pictures so fun. It's like an advanced I spy.

The limo parked, and I couldn't help but drop my jaw. The building was grand. Paparazzi taking pictures of people on the red carpet. Some celebrities were getting interviews. I have never experienced a great opportunity.

A soon as I step out, I became the center of attention. Microphones shoved in my face, and flashing cameras beaming at every angle. "Excuse me! Aren't you Jack G's girl?" A random reporter shouted.

I shook my head no. Jack grabbed my arm, trying to pull me away from the crowd, only to be stopped once again. "Who are you wearing?" Another random reporter shouted. "My friend Veronicas old prom dress!" I shout nervously.

I didn't know the brand. I was just trying to get out. As I pushed through two photographers, we were finally able to head inside. I went into "omg" mode. "Wow." The inside look just as good as the outside. There were stages, runways, bars, dancers, celebrities, waiters, dj's, and auctioneers.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Jacked asked. I looked at him and nodded, still with my mouth hanging wide open. I look over and see Rhianna, and towards the farther left I saw Sia. I wanted to say hi, but everybody was all cool about everything, so I didn't want to make any scenes.

"Excuse me." Justin Bieber just said excuse me to me. I pinched myself like twice, to be sure that what I'm seeing is real. "I need you to take some photos of me." Jack stated. I hadn't really found the right words to say to him, so I just nodded in his direction, and followed him.

I bumped into this women on the way over there. She had dark brown hair like mines, and hazel eyes, and she had a makeup bag, so I assumed she was somebody's stylist. "I'm so sorry." I stated, helping her pick up the makeup that scattered the floor. "Maddison!" She shouted, nearly crying in the process.

I was confused. Was she talking to me? "I miss you." She wiped the corners of her eyes. That was the last time I saw her, before Jack pulled me into the hallway to take a photo of him.

Awkward...

The hallway had a vintage theme. I couldn't help but take admiration towards it. It reminded of my Grandmother, and how she had a love of antiques. God, I missed her so much. At the thought of her, I still couldn't figure out, what was so important about an empty dresser.

"Jack, stand by the vase." He move towards the vase, and propped one foot on the wall. He looked...sexy. As in, super freaking attractive. I feel like I'm going all fan girl on him, but you know the only reason we are together is for business. Not dating.

I tool about 40 pictures. They were so perfect, that they didn't  even look like they needed editing. "Jack, I have to say this is some of your best work!" I admired all of the marvelous photos I took, and showed them to Jack.

"Well, I do have a good partner!" He said. I blush a little. "Can we talk about what you-" I got interrupted by Barbara Palvin. She ran towards Jack and nearly made him fall. "I'm back!"

I stood there awkwardly. "Who is this?" She focused on me, eyeing me, like I was the help compared to her. "Um, that's my personal photographer, Maddie." Jack stated excitedly. I brought my hand out to shake her hand, but she deliberately ignored it.

"Jack, I should leave you guys alone." I fake smile and walk away. I didn't want to embarrass him. I mean look at me, compared to her, and obviously she's better.

That make up lady grabs me again, as I walked through the crowd. "What the hell!?!" She tried to talk to me, but I ripped my hand away from her grip. I then again bump into somebody else.

I swear, I'm the clumsiest person on the planet. "Oh my god, your, your-" He chuckled a little, "Nice to see you again, Milly." I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Goodbye Dan." I tried to walk away but he quickly stopped me.

"What do you want?!?" I asked aggravated. "Business has been slow at DSI, the company that you quit on." He smirked. I tapped my foot with impatience. "Let's make a deal." He stated.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Did I know that the name for Madison Beer only has one d? Yes. Do I want to keep her name as Maddison? Yes. I think it makes more sense, especially because her nickname is Maddie, with two d's.

I just wanted to clarify.

Anywhooo, what do you think the deal is about?

Comment what you think.

Love you guys,
Jayla❤️
