COLLISION ➳ JACK GILINSKY

Chapter Ten.

My fingers tapped the marble table, in the conference room of MAGIC! Management, making a rhythm. I hummed a melody, waiting impatiently for Stacey and Annie to come. Funny how they were the ones to tell us to hurry up, seeing that we were still asleep when they called, but once we got here, they weren't even here. Cass was on her phone, probably texting her boyfriend or something, with her legs stacked on top of each other, on the table.

I was about to text them, asking them where they were, when I heard footsteps coming closer. I looked up at the phone, expecting it to be Stacey and Annie, coming through the door, but instead it was the Jacks and Ryan.

Gilinsky walked up to me, leaning in for a kiss. I turned my head, resulting to him to miss and kiss my cheek instead. He glared at me, before speaking, "Hey, babe."

"Why are you guys here?" I asked Johnson. He was seating in the chair next to Cass's, with her head laid on his shoulder, as he picked at her hair. Aren't they just the cutest.

"Stacey and Annie wanted us to have a meeting with them and their manager." Cass said, placing her phone on the table.

I furrowed my eyebrows together. "How did you know?"

"Johnson told me."

"Why didn't she tell us?" Cass didn't answer me. She just shrugged, having no clue either.

We all turned our attention to the door, hearing voices coming nearer and nearer, towards our direction. Seconds later, Stacey and Annie appeared, both of them smiling.

"I see that you're all here," Stacey stated, placing her iPad and papers on the table, before sitting down. Annie did the same. "So we called you all here to discuss some matters. First of all we need to talk to Collision," she looked over at Cass and I, then continued, "about their upcoming tour." Smiles instantly came on me and Cass's face. We loved traveling and meeting new fans everyday. Getting to see them smile and sing along to our songs are the best the feeling in the world. "You guys will tour in North America first, going to Alaska and Hawaii, before Canada. We will see how that tour starts out first, before deciding if you guys should tour internationally yet."

"As for why we called you guys here," Annie said, glancing up from her iPad, fixing her glasses then looking at the Jacks and their manager, "we want Jack and Jack to by the opening act for them." My eyes enlarged immediately, as I spit out the water that I had previously drank. Stacey and Annie looked at me with disapproving looks and the Jacks and Cass were all biting all their lip, trying to prevent their laughs from coming out.

I flushed with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, but why are they being our opening act? I thought we had agreed on having Fifth Harmony for our opening act."

"Well, that was before you and Jack became a 'couple.' Now that you guys are, all that the media have been buzzing about is you guys. You guys are the talk of the celebrity world. We thought that if you were to have your 'boyfriend' on tour with you then it'll be wonderful. The publicity you guys will be getting for your tour will be incredible." Annie stated, smiling down at me.

"She's right," Ryan directed towards me. "Plus this is what you guys need to set foot on the charts." That one was more directed towards the Jacks.

Cass squealed, hugging Johnson tightly. Wow, she just squealed? She has changed since she's been in a relationship. Johnson chuckled lightly, looking down at his girlfriend, with her arms wrapped around him, face nuzzled into his chest. Both of them looked genuinely happy.

Gilinsky leaned into me, "Now you don't have to miss me too much."

"I was going to die, because I wasn't going to have you there right beside me," I said dramatically, scoffing afterwards.
