Getting the Band Back Together

Chapter 20 (Outside POV) The Contract

(Outside POV)

Si-"Have a seat girls."

L-"Is everything okay?"

Si-"Yes everythings fine."

M-"If the boys don't want us to sign the contract, then we won't"

Si-"Oh girls. I know you're new to this business and I'm not a bad guy at all, but there are rules you have to follow and things the boys had to give up when they chose this lifestyle"

B-"What are the rules?"

Si-"They're simple really. You have to do what we tell you to do."

M-"That doesn't sound very simple"

Si-"Girls really, honestly I'm not completely in charge of these things. The publicity people just wanted me to be the one to tell you."

L-"I don't understand."

Si-"Look, we're not going to tell you guys how to run your relationships or when to kiss or things like that. We just want to make sure that the boys keep a good image and that their girlfriends keep good images. You were fans as young girls right?"

B-"Yes..."

Si-"Well, didn't you look up to Danielle, Eleanor, or Perrie?"

M-"Of course we did. They were gorgeous and so sweet. They were perfect girls."

Si-"That's because they followed our rules. Things like -no rude tweets, no cheating, good fashion, no bad photos, etc. Things like that. Those aren't hard to follow are they?"

L-"No, I guess not"

M-"But do we have to sign a contract? I'm not gonna do something I don't want to do."

Si-"Fine, no 'contracts' pursay. Just written agreements"

B-"Oh, okay."

L-"Brandi, that is a contract"

B-"oh."

Si-"Please girls. This is all for the boys. This is for their protection and yours as well. This contract also states that you are basically one direction family and you are to be treated as such. You'll get things like a body guard when you think it's nesasary and you can call for help at any time and our agency will send someone. Also, if there is ever an emergency with any of you during the boys tour or things like that, that boy can have an 'excused absence' type of thing and we will pay for him to travel to see you. Don't those things sound nice?"

L-"What's the catch?"

Si-"You already know the catch. The rules."

M-"I trust you Simon. Only because the boys trust you though. I know you would never hurt us. I'll sign the contract."

L-"I will too"

B-"I guess I will too"

Si-"But please girls, don't tell the boys about this. I wouldn't want them to know I betrayed their trust"

M-"We won't"
