*Jai's Point of View* Tuesday Night

"How could you?" she whispered.

"It didn't happen like that, Em. You don't understand!"

"We're over Jai."

 A Few Days Earlier

Luke, Beau, Parmi, and I waited anxiously for the doorbell to ring.

Gary and mum were supposedly coming home within the hour. Later, he would take Luke and I to the studio. I'm still shocked that this all happened in the just one day.

Luke stole my lucky snapback so I wore his beanie. We were both humming, patiently waiting to go.

And the doorbell rang.

We answered immediately, hugging mum as she walked in with tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry." she kept saying. "I'm so sorry."

"Mum it's fine now that you're here." Beau said. We all hugged in the same spot we did yesterday when she was going to leave.

"Parmiss, join us." said Luke. "You're a part of the family."

She joined our embrace until Gary awkwardly cleared his throat.

We parted. "Gary, you have no idea how much this means to us." I said.

"It's nothing, really." he said. "Are you two ready to go?"

I nodded eagerly, Beau and Parmiss stayed behind to talk with mum. Parmi's really blending in, I can't believe she has to leave in three days.

We got in the limo, yes limo. I'm excited as fuck right now. This is really just insane.

"So you guys are singing the chorus Boyfriend by Justin Bieber. If you're as good as I think you are you'll sing all of More Than This by One Direction. You're familiar with those songs, right?" Gary asked.

Luke and I are pretty huge Boy Beliebers and Directioners. The fact that we were recording their songs was huge. "Yeah, we know them." I said.

Once we'd gotten to downtown Melbourne, the driver pulled up to skyscraper that said "Sonder" down the side of it and the three of us got out of the car. "Welcome to the studio, boys."

We walked in, everyone was wearing suits and business clothes, I looked at Luke and I. Jeans, sweatshirts, a snapback, a beanie. I felt way under dressed. We followed Gary to the front desk, where a woman was waiting.

"I'll see you two later." Gary said.

She greeted us. "Hello, I'm Annie. I'll be managing you two for today. How are you?"

"Good, how are you?" I said, just to be polite.

"I'm good. Right this way." she directed us down a hallway to the elevators. "So, how do most people tell you two apart?" she asked.

"I'm the one with the lip ring and Jai's got the earring." Luke said.

She nodded, "Okay. I'll try and remember that. Here we are, floor twenty-one." She led us out and we walked down another hallway and into recording studio 21F.

"This is insane." I murmured, walking in. There was high-tech stuff everywhere, along with two more guys sitting in chairs fiddling with dials and other things I'll never understand.
