Publicity

Publicity // Niley

"You're the only artist signed by Island Records that's not popular enough,"

"I have a girlfriend," I spat, leaning forward in my chair in the air conditioned room "I'm not dating anyone else just for publicity."

"Well what else could you do, Nick?" Cory Anderson, my manager asked as he leaned back in his chair and flicked through his phone "Your nude photoshoot didn't even do the trick, face it you're gonna have to consider this."

"It wasn't a nude photoshoot," I mumbled under my breath and rolled my eyes.

"..Besides, you have a contract." He reminded and my eyes shot to him "And I cant bail you out, I know this is the only way. People are sick of hearing your over-promoted single while some hasn't even heard it."

"Kay," I mumbled and looked away.

"Trust me on this, and you can still date Olivia behind the scene, try this for a month or two I promise I'll let you back out if it doesn't work."

"Fine, whatever, who am I gonna date?" I asked impatiently and looked over at him again as he finally sat down his phone.

"Hmm.." He leaned back on his chair and sunk into deep thought.

"Well, You know what I think?" Cory announced from across the table as he rubbed his chin with a slight grin on his face "She should be...controversial,"

"Are you serious?" I snorted as I shook my head and he leaned forward with his eyes wide. "Yes!" He exclaimed "She should be wild, life of the party, whatever you want to call it that describes 'Talk Of The Media'."

"Sure," I scoffed "How are we going to find someone controversial who's desperate enough to get into a fake relationship?"

"...family of the controversial 22-year old-"

Me and Cory spun around instantly to find the HDTV on the wall projecting footage of a black range rover pulled over by a police car with the headline "Family Considering Rehabilitation". Cory punched the button on the remote and the volume turned up as we both leaned forward in our chairs.

"-had been considering rehabilitation a few times this week since she received the DUI after she reportedly left a club with her friends on New Year's."

"Well damn," I heard Cory hissed, while my eyes still glued to the screen.

"This wasn't the only time Cyrus was caught partying recklessly-"

"Cyrus?!" I exclaimed in disbelief and glanced over to Cory whose now starring at the screen in excitement. "-But it's the first time she had trouble with the law, Insider told us that her family aren't only concerned, but furious at how she had been acting like it was nothing serious. The source also reported that the Cyrus family had held up a few interventions in the past year which Miley herself never attended."

"They're also hoping Miley would come to her senses soon and clean up her act."

"I've heard about enough." Cory announced and the screen went black in a flash. I spun in my chair instantly and looked at him puzzled.

"You," He spoke slowly "Are going on a date with Miley Cyrus."
