Ricky's POV

After finishing the last concert in Brazil Joby decided to fly over; before we continued with the rest of South America tour. We're all seated waiting for him to enter our apartment door with Bella by his side. It's been 3 days since the girls have left and that's all they've been talking about.

The room goes quiet as soon as Joby enters followed by Bella. He goes ahead and sits in front of us, his back straight like a business man, but with an attire of a normal, sad bald man.

''Okay now that we have seen what the girls can do. Who do you guys think should win?'' He says not bothering to say hi.

Emery looks between us and Joby. ''It's hard to say, they all sing so good.''

''From the reports I've been getting all three girls have equal amount of talent. Different styles, but they all seem to sing well with you guys. '' Everything we did Bella told Joby which can get pretty damn annoying. ''Oh Ricky what was the scenes you've been making all about?''

''I haven't done anything,'' I shrug looking straight into his eyes. He looks tired from the flight yet he decide to ask me this.

''You walked out on rehearsal? And yelled at who was it again...'' He snapped his fingers turning to look at Bella for help.

''Audrey sir.'' She says still keeping her distance from me.

''Right it's Audrey. You yelled at her and walked out on the group? What the bloody hell Ricky?!''

''I thought we were going to talk about the winner?'' I look down at my black socks and start moving my toes.

''Oh we will, but I want to discuss this as well.''

''There's nothing to discuss she asked a personal question and I didn't want to answer,'' He squinted his eyes at me then turns to look at Emery and Jon.

''What did she say to get you all fussed up?''

''How my life was a kid.'' I say.

He opened his mouth turning to look at the guys and pointing at me with his thumb. ''That's it?'' I nodded as he bit his lip, ''That's why you walked out? For God's sake.''

''Joby you know that Ricky hates talking about his family.'' Jon jumps in.

''Yes, I know that. The first time I asked he snapped at me, but I don't know? He could have just said, 'It was good,' or 'just a normal life'. Hell he didn't have to yell at one of the girls and leave!''

''Okay what do you want me to do now?'' He gave me a glare after I said that.

''Did you apologies, Ricky?''

''Nope and not planning too.'' I crossed my arms standing strong.

''Oh you better apologies. Jon and Emery will make sure you do the sooner the better. You don't know how bad that makes us look.'' He ran his pale fingers through his scalp then scratches his chin.

''Yeah he will Joby. We promise,'' Emery tries to calm him down by lying. They can't make me.

Taking a breath he nods, ''Alright thank you boys. Now back to the winner, Margo, Audrey, or Keta?''

''Neither...'' I whisper.

''What? Excuse me?''Joby eyes are open and the rest of the guys lower their eyebrows at me.

''Yeah, I just don't see it in them.''

''Ricky this was your idea?'' Emery leans back to look at me.
