A little place for love

Chapter 10

Rye's POV

I was just finishing a very long recording session for my new album when Blair came up to me.
"So Ryan I need to talk to you about a few things. First of all, we are organizing an event with all the artists that are part of the agency and of course you'll have to be there." He started to say.
I didn't wanted to go because I simply hated everybody in this industry and I couldn't invite my best friend Mikey because he wasn't famous or even Alex because he was a painter and not a musician. Alex wasn't my best friend, Mikey was, but of course Blair strictly refused me to be seen with non famous people so I had to pretend that my best friend was Alex. Don't get me wrong, Alex was a really nice and funny guy, but he didn't know me like Mikey did.
But then I realized that if all the agency was there, Andy would be there to. And THAT made me wanna go. Because even if I only saw him once, that boy was just stuck in my mind. I had found his YouTube channel during the week and in addition of being the most gorgeous person I ever laid eyes on, he was also one of the most talented. And I just really wanted to see him again. So I told Blair :
" Yeah sure no problem, I'll come. What was the other thing you wanted to talk about ?"
To say he was surprised would be an understatement, I usually complained for hours because I didn't wanted to go and this time I was just complying without any discussion. So of course he wasn't used to that kind of behavior coming from me. But I guess Andy was a pretty good motivation.
" Well, I just wanted to tell you that I've had a meeting with the producers and they told me that you were going back on tour in November. Also, you don't have to bring Kaylee at the event. It's on Friday by the way." He said and then walked away.

I didn't know what to think about the tour. I mean I loved performing but I had so many restrictions during that period of time that it was a total nightmare most of the time. Plus, I was never able to bring Mikey with me and he was my confident the person I always went to when things were wrong. So spending two months on the road without speaking to him other than on the phone was the hardest part.

The only good news was that Kaylee wouldn't be there on Friday. God I hated that girl. So it meant that I would be alone with Andy and I was pretty impatient about that. I honestly didn't know why I was so obsessed with that boy, I only met him once but the sparkle in his eyes woke something up inside of me. Something that was buried very deep : hope.

I don't know when I had exactly stopped hoping. Hoping for a happy life, hoping to enjoy my job the way I thought I would when I signed that contract, hoping to find love. I felt like I was just surviving now. I wasn't living anymore. Every day I woke up with a knot in my stomach, and it wasn't living unless i got drunk enough. Enough to forget about everything, about how my life sucked.

So when I felt like nothing could get me out of it I sat in my living room and played the piano for hours. Sometimes Mikey would sit on a chair and listen to me, not saying a word. Because he knew how useless it was.
I had sold my soul to the devil since that day, and turned myself into a machine conceived to please crazy ungrateful teenagers and bring money to the producers.

But I'd had enough. And I was ready for that to change.

Hope you liked it guys. Sorry it was a bit depressing but things will get better.
I also wanted to say something real quick: guys please stop hating on Andy and being mean to him. We know how easy he can get hurt by what people say, and even tho he is joking around a lot, remember that it's really easy to hide behind sarcasm.
Anyway thanks for reading my story. Love u guys 🐙
