Crown Jules (One Direction Fan Fic)

Contract?

I knotted my fingers together and sat up straighter.

“Mr. Cowell will see you now.” His pretty assistant informed us. We both stood up and Kirsten grabbed my hand and held tight. We looked at each other, unbearably nervous and I pulled her into the room. Simon was sitting at a massive desk with floor to ceiling windows behind him.

“Girls! Hello, hello, sit down.” We shook his hand and sat down in the two chairs before him.

“So, have you thought about my offer?” He asked us, looking confident.

“We have.” I answered for us, I looked at Kirsten and she nodded at me.

“Well I have a contract here, are you sure you don't want a lawyer to read this over? If you-” He began pulling out a piece of paper.

“No, Mr. Cowell, I don't think you understand.” I interrupted him. He looked at me startled.

“Whatever do you mean?” Simon asked.

“Just let us explain.” Kirsten looked at me anxiously.

“We LOVE singing, but from what we understand of the contract, you control us. We are subjected to being moved around whenever, and our lives aren't decided by us.” I paused for a breath and looked him straight in the eyes.

“If, you want to sign us, there are going to be some negotiations.” I held my breath.

“I hardly think YOUR in any position to be negotiating.” Simon leaned back in his chair, looking a little bit angry.

“Except I think we are. As conceited as it sounds we know we're good. I know with work, my agent could PROBABLY get us a contract with someone else. Kirsten and I want the contract here though. I would love to be signed to the same company as Harry.” I said calmly. He looked at me for a long time and Kirsten squeezed my hand.

“I'm listening.” He said finally. I let out the air I was holding.

“We want a say in where we go. We want to date who we want, we don't want you dictating everything for us. No tours over 2 months unless discussed with us at length” I listed. We waited again, this meeting was just FULL of suspenseful moments.

“I must say your one of the very, very few who have ever turned down a contract, much less stood up to me.” Simon leaned forward again. “That said, I admire your confidence. You have a deal. I'll have my lawyer draw up a contract. Can me meet again tomorrow? At say 1?” He got up and we stood as well. Shaking hands, Kirsten and I left. I think we were both in shock because it wasn't until we were in a taxi and almost to Harry and Lou's flat that we began to scream. I think the taxi driver thought we were absolutely insane. We dashed up the stairs and threw the door open. The boys were already home. I crashed down onto the couch next to Harry. All the boys were sitting around the couch.

“I'm going to take a WILD guess and say that you got the contract.” Harry smiled hugging me I nodded.

“Julia was a real bad ass in there.” Kirsten remarked, she was sitting AWFULLY close to Niall on the floor. I smirked at her.

“I could have been a lawyer.” I winked. She laughed at me.

“When we sign the contract tomorrow we will officially be signed recording artists with more freedom than you guys.” Kirsten teased. They all rolled their eyes at us.

“I hear your going on tour with us Julia.” Liam remarked.

“Yes, you guys are gonna be sick of me.” I laughed, snuggling into Harry.

“Never.” Harry tightened his grip. Louis rolled his eyes at us.

“Are you coming too?” Niall asked Kirsten. She shook her head no and Niall looked disappointed.

“For one, no one technically invited me.” She began, Niall tried to interrupt.

“But i-”

“No.” She said firmly cutting him off. “I know Julia won't ever leave here now, and I love it here, so I’ve decided to move here.” She finished. I grinned at her, we had already talked about this and secretly I was hoping that Niall would ask her to move in with him. They boys all looked shocked and then began to congratulate her in a jumbled mess. She smiled and nodded and I swear that Niall was glowing. Harry leaned down and whispered to me.

“You knew about this?” I nodded.

“But only since after the meeting, I think she finally decided then.” I replied. He nodded back. I fell asleep on Harry that night.

******************************

I finished signing it with a final flourish. I had read it through( we still hadn't bothered to get a lawyer, Kirsten dubbed me capable enough) and given it the all clear. We were now signed and now we were going to meet our new manager.

“Well here we go!” Simon handed the paper to his lawyer and he put it away.

“Phew.” Kirsten stood and I followed her example.

“Would you like to meet your manager? I think she's at the studio where the boys are recording." Simon informed us. Both Kirsten and I nodded eagerly and we all got in Simon's limo. I had run the contract by Shriti and she had almost screamed my ear off. She LOVED to scream. So now we were all clear and I was writing a book as well. We pulled up in front of the studio and a woman met us in the lobby.

“Hi i'm Emily, your manager.” She was cheerful and really really nice. She was shorter than me and about the same height as Kirsten. Her dirty blonde curly hair and green eyes made me instantaneously jealous of her beauty. She looked super comfortable with her converse skinny jeans and V-neck and i could tell just by her clothes she was a laid back person. I looked forward to working with her and she and Kirsten hit it off instantly, both we're full of an extreme amount of energy. We hung out for the rest of the day and talked over some stuff, she wanted us to start writing songs as soon as possible. We agreed and then waited the rest of the day for the boys to finish up. Kirsten was leaving the next morning to go back to Virginia, so we dropped her off early and I said goodbye. I was going on tour with the boys for a month and then coming back to the UK for some recording and publicity things with Kirsten. Simon had okayed the tour but I could tell he wasn't happy with it considering we had just signed the contract and I was already leaving. Oh well, I would enjoy being backstage at shows and stuff. I went to sleep in the same bed as Harry again, my room. I wondered how we could live apart if we kept up this sleeping thing. I would worry about that later, I fell asleep extremely happy.

So i noticed i end like every chapter with her going to sleep, i should really really break out of the habit. So Emily is EmilyWest, finally gave her her part.
