The Photographer (A Jake Roche fanfiction)

Chapter 1

I woke up to cars honking and people yelling. "Ah sweet New York." I thought to myself. I slowly got up and stretched. I walked over to my bathroom to take a quick shower. When I was finished I slipped on some blue skinny jeans and a floral blouse. I plopped down in front of my computer and searched for job offers for photographers. I was about to give up when suddenly something caught my eye.

"RIXTON IN NEED OF PHOTOGRAPHER

We need a new photographer for our US tour and we need one fast. You will be touring with us all summer and we will pay for everything. First concert is in New York City on Saturday, June 15th contact us at rixtonband@gmail.com"

Perfect. Their first concert is even in New York! I think I've even heard of them before to. Didn't they sing "Me and My Broken Heart?" Oh well, it didn't matter. I quickly emailed them a copy of my résumé and headed off to my only successful job right now, working for my sister at her beauty salon.

"Hey Madi!" My sister, Karlye greeted me as I walked in the door.

"Hey Karlye." I smiled and walked over to the cash register.

"How's the photography hunting going?"

"Pretty good actually! I think I might have found a job, I'm just waiting on a reply."

"Oh who's offering?" Karlye said as she was organizing her nail station.

"Some band called Rixton? I think they sing Me and My Broken Heart but that's all I really know about them."

"RIXTON?? YOU APPLIED TO BE RIXTON'S PHOTOGRAPHER?"

"Umm... Yeah so?" I said in confusion.

"UM THEY ARE LIKE MY FAVORITE BAND THAT I HAVE BEEN OBSESSING OVER SINCE 2012!"

"Oh my gosh calm down! Hey... tell you what, if I get the job you can come to one of their concerts with me ok?" I said grinning.

"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IM GOING TO MEET CHARLEY BAGNALL!"

"That's IF I get the job! And what's so important about Charley? What about the other boys?"

"Look. Danny, Lewi, and Jake are great but Charley is just... I can't even describe how much I obsess over him."

"Right, well you continue day dreaming because I doubt I will even get the job."

"What are you talking about? You're a great photographer!"

"If I'm so great then why haven't I ever gotten hired?"

Suddenly a customer walked in and our conversation dropped. For the rest of the morning I kept thinking about the job and wondering what would happen if I actually got hired.

I looked at my watch and it was 12:30. Lunch time.

"Hey I'm gonna go on my break." I said to Karlye as I walked in the break room. I instantly started to flip through my emails and found nothing. It had only been 3 hours anyway. I highly doubt they would reply that quickly. I scarfed down my turkey sandwich and headed back to work.

"Did they reply??" Karlye asked with a huge smile on her face.

"No not yet." I duly said.

"You know, you seem tired. Why don't you go home?"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

I hopped in my car headed to my apartment. I was so tired. I didn't feel like sleeping though, I just really wanted to know if I got that job. When I walked in my place I practically ran to my computer and checked my emails.

"Oh my gosh they replied!" I screamed.

The email said,

"Dear Ms. Teller,

Thank you so much for applying for this position. We would love to hire you for the Rixton 'Me and My Broken Heart' 2014 tour. Please provide your own cameras, and what ever else you need to do the job right. We have another concert Monday night in New York, so there is no need for you to stay with us those two nights considering you live here. I will have someone come by your place at 5:00 PM the night of the first concert.

Sincerely,

Scooter Braun.
