Bad Idea (Hariana)

031. CHELSEA

HARRY

In 6 days time, it would be time for the billboard woman of the year awards ceremony. Blair had been nominated, and I was beyond thrilled for Blair, because I knew she deserved it.

Her new team and I had talked it over many times, and we had decided on allowing Blair to reveal her baby bump to the world. We hadn't even gone public yet, so this was a big deal.

To say I wasn't nervous would be a colossal lie, but part of me was excited. To see what people would say, to be able to rub it in peoples face. I liked it.

She was set to perform a mashup of two singles, God is a Woman and No Tears Left to Cry. While she performed, her music videos would debut in the background. So far, only the Boyfriend lyric video had been released.

Blair hadn't shown me the video yet, but she told me the God Is a Woman video was a perfect to display her bump.

The car screeched to a halt as I arrived at the venue, leaving me on the curb. I picked up the bouquet I brought Blair to surprise her, but that wasn't the best of my surprises I had for her that night.

"HARRY?!" I heard a voice call as I walked down the hall, trying to find Blair's dressing room. I pressed my index finger over my mouth, begging Victoria to be quieter.

"Shh, I'm surprising Blair." I grinned and held up the flowers as Victoria nodded. "Where the fuck is her dressing room?! This place is like a maze."
I laughed as Victoria rolled her eyes.

"I'm wondering the same thing. I've been roaming around here for twenty minutes." She sighed as we began to walk together, going down a random hallway.

"So are you ready?" Victoria asked me after a few moments of silence. "For what?" I asked her with a raised brow. "You know," She giggled and placed a hand over her mouth. "The baby." She grinned and interlocked her hands with each other.

"Ohh, yes. I'm really excited, actually. It's funny how it worked out but I'm glad, because now Blair is really stuck with me." I laughed softly, also making Victoria laugh.

We turned a sharp corner, looking at people's names spread all across the dressing room doors. Still no Blair. "Is she even in this venue? Are we in the right one?" I asked Victoria and looked at the text from her new manager that told us where the location was.

"No, that's right." Victoria said as she peered over onto my phone. "Yeah, you guys are in the right place." I heard a voice say.

Victoria and I looked up at the same time, stopping ourselves immediately. It was an annoying face to see, however I thought I'd never see her again.

"Chelsea?" Victoria and I asked in sync. She smiled widely and ran over to me, wrapping me into a tight hug. "Harry! It's been so long." She smiled and rested her hands on my shoulders.

My body grew stiff as I tried to pull away from her.
Victoria rolled her eyes at me, as if she knew exactly what Chelsea was about to do.

She took the flowers out of my hand that I had brought for Blair and began to examine them. "These are super pretty, Harry. Roses are my favorite flower, ya know." She batted her eyes lashes up at me.

"Take them. They're yours." I offered and pushed them towards her. I could buy Blair flowers anytime. I needed Chelsea to get out of my face and away from me, I had more important things.

"Awe, thank you Harry. How sweet of you." She giggled in her annoying shrill voice, still not walking away.

"Alright, Chelsea. Can you please go? We have important things to do." Victoria asked in an  annoyed tone, placing her hands onto her hips.

"Ugh, nobody likes you Victoria. I'm catching up with an old friend." Chelsea rolled her eyes at Victoria then turned back to me and grinned, making me even more angry.

"Chelsea, you know she's right. You really need to go." I backed Victoria up. "Fine." She sighed and almost turned away, but pointed to a bulge in my pocket instead.

"What's that?" She asked and reached into my pocket with no warning, pulling out a small box. The Tiffany label across the top caught Victoria's eye as she gasped, realizing what it was probably for.

She lunged towards Chelsea, making her drop the ring box onto the ground. "No. Back up. You already tried to ruin their relationship, so don't even fucking try to ruin their engagement. Goodbye." Victoria waved her off and stormed down the hall with the ring box.

I looked at the floor and followed Victoria, paying no attention to Chelsea's whining.

"Oh my God, thank you." I whispered as I jogged back over to Victoria, taking the box back from her hand. "It's the least I can do. I've been waiting to give that bitch a fucking piece of my—"

Victoria stopped herself as we came before a door that read 'Blair Klein'
