MAD

~ Chapter 2 ~

Rebecca slid out of the car first and waited for the boys to follow her lead standing in the sidewalk in front of the building.

When all of them were out of the automobile, they walked, side by side to the doors. Rebecca held Zach's hand tightly as walked, trying to go unnoticed.

Walking inside the building, they could see how everyone stopped and stared at them in awe, as if working on a record label didn't make possible to see famous people daily. The boys walked beside the two of them, showing how confident they were and that all the staring really didn't bother them.

After the ride in the elevator to the last floor, they all stepped out and walked straight to the room on the other side of the building, where Josh was waiting for them, or so they thought.

As they reached the office doors, Rebecca turned back as she heard the elevator doors open, only to find herself being rooted to the floor by what she saw.

"Hey guys?" she called, talking softly.

"Yes Becca?" answered Zach.

"I think Josh isn't in the office waiting just yet." She whispered.

"What do you mean?" Zach looked down at her frowning in confusion.

"Remember the girl from the club?" she asked.

"The fairy princess?"

"Yes." She nodded. "She's here."

"What? Where?" he asked, as he turned around to face the elevator.

There, standing in front of the closed elevator doors, stood Josh smiling down at a short woman with bright purple hair and a body that made Zach's mouth fall open.

"Told you she looked like a fairy princess!" Rebecca cheered.

"Holy fucking shit" was the only response she got out of Zach, for he was completely entranced by the woman who still had her back facing all of them. She looked like a dream made reality in his eyes, with her long bright hair, her perfectly curved body and a sweet laugh that travelled to where he was standing, she was nothing but perfect in his eyes.

Suddenly, one of the other boys was running in their direction, shouting indistinguishable words and throwing his arms open so he could engulf the girl in a bone crushing hug.

Rebecca turned to Zach, confusion on her features, only to see a similar expression on his face.

"What's happening?" she asked, moving closer to him.

"I have no idea..." Zach mumbled back.

As the minutes passed, they noticed that Nate, the one who had ran and screamed like a lunatic, was in a deep conversation with Josh and the woman, his back facing them as well.

The other two boys still standing beside them were whispering between themselves while they glanced ever few seconds to the other group,

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Zach asked, as he got tired of not being included.

"Hum, nothing?" tried Gabe, looking oddly guilty, fixating his eyes on the floor and fidgeting with his fingers.

"You better tell me now, Gabriel!" demanded the taller boy as he stepped forward, make Gabriel look even more nervous.

"Oh, just shut up Zach." Said the boy standing next to Gabriel who had a permanent frown latched on his face, before turning to the short boy, features easing ever so slightly and placing one a=hand on his shoulder. "Come on, let's go say hello to her..." and pulled the boy along as he moved towards the other three people in the room.

Zach's eyes drifted back to the elevator, to the woman standing there, surrounded by his friends, and wondered who could she be seeing all of them knew her except him. A shake on his arm brought him back from his thoughts, making him look down at a pouting Rebecca.

"Why are all of them giving her so much attention?" she asked.

"I have no idea Becca..." he mumbled as he tried to free his hand from hers, feeling oddly uncomfortable.

A determined look crossed her face and she began to pull him as she moved towards the other side of the building.

"Lets find out, then."
