Boom clap

Chapter 7

Skylar's POV
After a few days I got a call from Austin's manager. He asked me to come to the studio. I went alone since all of the boys were at the gym. I borrowed Kian's car and drove to the studio. When I came here, Austin was already waiting for me.

"Hey"

"Hey Austin. How are you?"

"I'm good. Well, my manager will be late so we can go to Starbucks maybe?"

"Well yeah cool"

We started walking and talking. We came in and ordered our drinks. Austin payed and we walked out. It was really cool, but I didn't like the way Austin was looking at me. It was similar to the way Connor looks at me but it was not the same. It was different, creepier.

We finally reached the studio and saw Austin's manager. We came in and I was so anxious. This contract meant a lot.

"So miss Lawley, let me explain this contract to you because we don't have time to read. So basically, you will record some singles first, then you're going to promote them"

"How?"

"You'll go on a tour with mr Mahone. But you'll only preform in Los Angeles and San Francisco this time. When you'll record the whole album, that's when you'll be able to preform in other places"

"OH MY GOD REALLY? THANK YOU!"

I was sooooo happy. This was the best way to promote.

"No problem miss Lawley. I will also be your manager. But, here's a small thing..."

"Yeah?"

"In order to record singles, you'll have to go to New York city."

What? Oh fuck...

"For how long?" I asked, scared of what he's going to say next.

"Well first you'll go for three months, to record some singles. Don't worry, you'll have some spare time that you can spend here. Then, you'll preform at Austin's tour and then it'll be time to go back to New York. And then, you'll stay there until your album is finished. This whole process will took at least 8 months."

"Ooh."

8 months without Connor, Kian, Jc, Ricky, Sam, Trev, Jenn, Andrea and Lia... That's so long.

"Is there any way I can record in LA?" I asked, crossing my fingers.

"No, sorry, but this studio is too busy. It'll be fine trust me, you'll have great time in New York."

"Oh okay."

"Well that's about it. Me and Austin have to go now. Call me in a few days if you agree with the plan."

"Okay. Bye"

"Bye"

I got into the car and drove home. I was biting my lip because I was trying to hold the tears. I came home and saw that the guys were still at the gym. Great, I'll have some time to think.

I came into my room and the second I sat down on my bed, tears started falling from my eyes.

8 months. 8 fucking months. I know I will get to go to California, but.. And what about after my first album? I will have to work more and that will distance me from the most important people in my life. Fuck. I wasn't sure if I want this life.

I was so distracted with my thoughts that I didn't even notice Connor. I realised that he's there when he wrapped his arms around me.

"Baby what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Con I don't even know where to start"

"Tell me everything."

I started with the whole story. But as I mentioned that I went to Starbucks with Austin, Connor's body tensed.

"Connor? What's bothering you?"

"Nothing why?"

"Is it Austin?"

"No"

I knew he was lying.

"Con are you jealous?"

"No..." he said and clenched his teeth. I gave him a big hug.

"Okay maybe a little bit"

"Aww Con don't worry I'd not replace you for nothing on this world" I said and hugged him tighter.

"I know Sky. Now tell me why were you upset?"

I told him everything about the contract, album, performances... As I finished the story I was already in tears.

"I guess I imagined it wrong Con. I thought I'd be working in LA, close to you, Kian and others... But I guess I was wrong... I don't even know if I want this anymore."

"Baby yes you do I mean I will miss you like crazy but it's your dream"

"Con I don't know.."

"Just give it a shot okay?"

"Okay. Thank you so much. I love you. I guess I'm gonna call the manager now"

"Okay."

I felt happier instantly. I'm gonna give it a shot. I was still insecure, but I tried to ignore it. I grabbed my phone and typed in the number. I dialed his number and he imidiately answered.

"Hello miss Lawley"

"Hello. I just wanted to call you and notify you that I agree with the plan"

"Awesome. Well, I have some other news for you..."
