I was in my dressing room by myself, just thinking about how everything seems to be going wrong for me. I was taken out of my trance when my phone rung. It was George, I was waiting for him to call again soon.
“Hi George.” He didn’t reply for a while.
“Are you mad at me Ali?” My tightened when I hear him call me ‘that’. “Ali?” A tear slid down my face.
“Please don’t call me that…And no, I’m not mad, why would I be?”
“Well I did sort of trick you into coming to the house just so I get try beat the shit out of your boyfriend.
“EX boyfriend,” I corrected him. Me and Conor hadn’t actually talked about what we were anymore but I knew that there was no way I wanted to be with him so I basically broke it off without telling him.
“So it’s official then? No more Cali?” I laughed down the phone.
“What the fuck is a ‘Cali’?”
“It’s yours and Conor’s ship name! But back to the original conversation, he doesn’t deserve you babe.” I put George on loud speaker and began to get change out of my outfit into something more comfy.
“I thought he was truly sorry about the whole Sophie thing though George but turns out he was most probably using me to get closer to my BEST FRIEND in the house. I was just so fucking stupid.” I let out a little scream. “Why can’t I have a decent boy in my life that doesn’t treat me like shit? I mean I have you and you’re dead nice and you’re my best friend because we hit it off straight away but like we’re just friends.” I was adjusting my top in the mirror and noticed George wasn’t replying. “George?” I spun round and saw that Conor had my phone in his hands. “Get.Out.Of.My.Changing.Room” I spat each word out at him with as much hatred as possible.
“Since when did we break up?” Conor’s face looked confused and I laughed at him.
“You were listening to my fucking conversation? And we broke up the day I saw you and HER on the newspaper front page.” The door opened quickly and Anna walked in. “Oh great now I’m stuck in the room with two fake ass hoes.” I rolled my eyes and placed my arms over my chest. “I don’t want to talk to either of you so get out before I call security.”
“No need, I’m already here.” I looked up to see one of the hench security guys, Dave. “Conor and Anna, you two need to come with me, Marcus wishes to speak to you.” Conor and Anna looked at one another and then quickly left. “Have a good day Miss.” I smiled at Dave and went back to my phone which was on the table. I knew exactly why they were being sent to Marcus. One of the main rules in the house, no kissing. They were in a load of shit and I laughed to myself.
Conor’s P.O.V-
I knew what this was about. Mine and Anna’s kiss that was now on the front page of every newspaper in the UK. Dave led us to Marcus’ office and he said we could go straight in. I pushed open the door and saw Marcus sitting behind his desk. He gestured for me and Anna to take a seat so we did.
“Now, I think you both know why you two are here.” He slammed down one of the newspaper with us getting ‘cosy’ together. “This here, is what we call bad publicity. Do you not remember what I told everyone right at the start? There are meant to be no relationships, no kissing, no touching and no sexual contact.” He pointed to the magazine. “Proof of a rule breaker right here.”
“No it’s not what it looks like! We were drunk!” I mentally slapped myself after the words left my mouth and Anna hit me under the table. Marcus’ eyes went wide and he looked angry.
“So you were under aged drinking as well?” He stood up from the table. “YOU HAD ONE CHANCE IN THIS COMPETITION AND YOU HAVE BOTH BLOWN IT! There is no way I can cover this up no matter what I do, you may have just jeopardized the whole show, I hope you realise that!” He ran his hands through his greasy hair and put his head in his hands. “I’m sorry but you two are being kicked out of the competition, you had your chance and you blew it.” Anna started to cry.
“Well what are you going to do about Simon then? Two of his acts will be leaving and the competition will be unbalanced and will be cut short. One person wouldn’t be as bad to go but two? You obviously haven’t thought this through. And plus the fact that you will have to explain to the media why we are leaving. You can’t say we were underage drinking and that led to a kiss because that will just bring you out as the bad guys and letting the house get out of control.” I knew he was stressing out now, I got to him. “You can’t kick us both out and you know it.” I sat back in my seat and smiled smugly. My smile soon vanished as I saw Marcus smile to himself. He had thought of something and I knew it. He stood up from his seat.
“I may not be allowed to kick both of you out but I can kick ONE of you out…You know what? I will leave it to the two of you to decide which one will be leaving the competition due to ‘family problems’” That would be the excuse on why one of us had to leave. “You have until 12 o’clock tomorrow to report back to me on who will be leaving the competition. Have fun, you may leave now.” Me or Anna. One of us had to go…but who would it be?
