Remind Me

"First things first," Jeff announced when they started their business meeting that day. Adam was leaning over to look at the pictures on Brent's phone but he sat up to pay attention.

Four happy months had passed and Adam still felt like he was living in a dream come true. He had Brent, at long last, and aside from the times that Brent had to go visit Maddox, it was just as perfect as he'd always imagined it would be.

The band had finished recording their album and were getting ready to start tour rehearsals so they could go back and perform all the dates they missed because of the bus accident. Zack had made a complete recovery and was cleared to dance again so they were good to go.

"Congratulations, Adam, you finally get to come out," Jeff smiled. "There's just one little thing."

"Make them end it, please," Tyler groaned.

"Actually, that's the thing," Jeff looked at Adam. "Martin would like you two to officially announce that Bradam is over. You each have someone else and you're just friends."

"Um, but I don't have someone else," Adam pointed out, glancing at Brent. "I mean, we can just say Bradam was never real."

"We have some ideas," Monroe spoke up. "Unless you can think of someone who'd be okay with signing a contract?"

"I'm not getting a fake boyfriend."

"Joe would do it," Brent suggested. Zack groaned, but Adam knew Brent was right.

"This is stupid though, I wanted to come out so I wouldn't have to lie anymore."

"It's just for a little while," Monroe promised. "And, um, that's the other thing."

"Monroe and I would like to buy out your contract," Jeff looked around. "Meaning we would take over from now on. You wouldn't have to deal with Martin or anyone else at Elite. Just us."

"Done, you're hired," Zack agreed.

"Can you do that?" Adam looked at Brent.

"We need to talk about this, just us," Brent and Tyler were already looking at each other, making Adam wonder what he'd missed.

"Of course. Talk it over and let us know next week," Jeff nodded. "Adam, you can talk to Joe and work with Monroe on getting everything together. Martin wants your announcement to go live April 9th."

"That's next week," Adam realized. He smiled. "That's so soon."

"Last thing," Monroe jumped up, his phone in his hand. "We just heard back from our producer and they're adding three songs to this album."

"Oh my gosh, did they fix mine?" Brent gasped. He'd written all but 4 of the 12 songs that were already on the album.

"No, they're still working on those. These are all songs Adam wrote," Monroe grinned.

"You wrote songs?" Brent looked as shocked as Adam felt.

"I told you! Yes! Which ones?" Zack jumped up. "Please tell me it's the ones I said."

It took Adam a few minutes for the news to sink in. His songs were actually going to be recorded. They would get to perform his songs on stage in front of millions of people. He couldn't actually imagine what it would be like.

"This is crazy," Adam finally said, not sure what else he could say. Brent hugged him.

"I had no idea you wrote songs, you never told me," Brent rubbed his back. "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks," Adam turned to Zack who was waiting to hug him too.

"I told you so," Zack insisted. "You should listen to me more often."
