The Bad Boy • Jonah Marais

Season 3: Part 7

"Hello?" I asked scared.

I heard a sigh from the other end, "Look Ava, I'm just gonna get straight to the point." Tate says to me serious. I took a shaky breath and prepared myself for the worst, "So are black bough swimsuits really that cute in person?"

A huge smile came across my face, "Yes they are." I laughed nervously. Out of the corner of my eye, Daniel put his thumb up and gave me a questioning look. I nodded, I know that Tate probably wants to talk seriously but we have things to catch up on.

*ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER*

"And it all ended up being because he forgot the ziploc bags!" Tate and I laughed about her story. God I've missed her. I hated leaving her the way I did. "Okay, Ava, look I'm sorry I reacted the way I did-"

"No Tate." I stopped her, "You shouldn't be sorry about anything, I'm the one who should be apologizing." I tell her, "You didn't deserve to be put in that hurtful position and I put you into that and I'm sorry."

Tate chuckled, "Ava, I've missed you so much and I'm glad we're friends again."

I smiled even bigger, "Me too Tate."

"I guess I'm gonna have to have a talk with your boyfriend." She says, "He been treating like a queen lately? Because if he hasn't, I swear to god-"

"Tate, he's been perfect." I said to her giggling.

She sighs, "Then why did you look so sad on that interview tonight when you dropped your song?"

I bit my lip, "Tate my sponsors are my parents and it's affecting me, it's been very quiet on their end but I know something is going to come up." I told her scared.

"Well whatever it is A, know that I'm right here for you." Tate says to me.

I smiled, "The exact same goes to you, I'm glad to have you back in my life, T."

"I'll facetime you tomorrow, love you!"

"Love you too Tate." I hung up with a smile.

I looked to my side to see Jonah still fast asleep. I put my phone on the coffee table and cuddled next to him, maybe tomorrow would be another good day.

**W.M.E. Assistant's POV**

"Yes sir." I said to Mr. Wing while I typed up the paperwork for Ava. I added in the information about the new hired subject. "Sir, do we have a boy picked out or would you like for me to leave it anonymous."

"There is no one picked out at this point, it will be finalized within the span of a week." Mr. Wing confirmed.

I nodded and continued to type. As I listened to his instructions and continued to type up the formal paperwork to send to Ava and keep on file, I couldn't help but pity the young and naive rising celebrity. She's extremely talented and lucky her parents own a music enterprise but based off their behavior and actions, it doesn't seem like this girl is going to last very long. I bit my lip and pushed print while updating my work planner about the new orders Ava must adhere to.
