Merging Love
Miley's POV-
5 am. I rolled over in my bed and on to my back, staring up at the ceiling and slowly lifting my eyelids. I let my cell phone ring a few times then stop. Only one person called me this early and that was my manager. He could wait, he always waits. That's the price he pays for calling me this early. As I began to wake up more, I lifted my legs up and swung them out of my bed, then sat on the side of my bed. I looked around my room. I love my place. Having my own apartment made me feel so free, like I could do anything I want. Sure it got a bit lonely at times, but the fame filled that hole. Sometimes. Slowly I reached over to my nightstand, just as my phone began to ring again. I answered.
"You're pushing it, you know that? This is the fourth day this week that you've woken me up this early." I practically whined. I didn't care though. I was just plain tired and I felt I had every right to be annoyed.
"I know, but-"
"Wait, I thought we were past this a few days ago when you said we were past this." I cut him off.
"Yes I know I did, but just after that I realized it wasn't a smart move. Miley, being a famous singer isn't all fun and games you know. Sometimes you gotta act like an adult."
"Hello, I am an adult you idiot." I rolled my eyes. Why the heck was I keeping this guy?
"Right, well I mean getting up and going and-"
"And you're not getting to your point. Look Drew, I'm extremely tired, so would you just talk already?"
"Sorry. Alright, your record company needs to talk to you right away, there have been some changes in your tours. They said something about a merge-"
"Merging? What the hell? I hate that, I'm solo."
"Oh and I also heard something about a new company too..."
I stood up, "What? New company?" I was wide awake now.
"Whoa, calm down Miley. Now I haven't got all the facts straight, I just heard some things as I was leaving a meeting just yesterday. I sort of lingered a little. See now this is why you should show up to a meeting at least once in awhile. They can get interesting sometimes." that's why I'm keeping this guy around. He's a pretty good spy when needed.
"And that's what I have a manager for. So thanks for that info and I'm gonna call them right now. Oh and Drew, please stop calling me this early. It's just getting creepy now." I hung up as he started to say something again. I didn't care, it was a regular thing.
Very next thing I did was call the record company. I hardly ever talked to them except when Drew said it was important and now was a time that certainly sounded like it. I found the number in my phone and quickly called them. A few seconds later someone answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, this is Miley Stewart." I responded simply to the familiar voice.
"Oh hi Miley, we've been expecting a call from you sometime today." he was the vice president of my record company. We have always got along pretty well.
"I know, cause I couldn't make the meeting today. Sorry but I was-"
"Still in bed? Too early for you?"
"Yeah, lil bit. Anyway, I hear something going around about a merge and a new record company? Know anything?" I asked casually.
"Drew snitched again didn't he?"
"You bet he did. What do you think managers are for? Although he didn't catch everything. So what's going on?" I pushed for more.
"Well you were going to find out sooner or later, so I guess now is a good time. Drew was right about both those, but he just didn't catch the details."
"Excuse me? So that means I'm going to have too sing with another singer and you're no longer going to be my record company?" Bad news.
"Unfortunately that's the case if you still want your Europe tour. It just so happens that another singer about your age, is out for a US tour. The new company Twin World Records, can get each of you on your tours." He told me.
"Well that's great news, but why do I have to do anything with her? Whoever she is." I was annoyed.
"This company really loves publicity and well, the two of you can get it for them, especially together you two can get lots of publicity. So just after a few duets and a little touring, you'll both be free to tour where you want."
"Touring? Like we have to be on a bus together? Ok hold up, I'm a solo act, well besides my back up singers of course, but I've been going solo for years and there's no way I want to tour and sing duets with another singer. Can't I just back out?"
"Of course you can. Just stay with us and sing right here." he told me casually.
"What, no Europe?" I panicked.
"Nope, no Europe."
"But that's so not fair!"
"I'm sorry Miley, but that was their offer and we ran it past you first of course. If you don't want too though, then that's just fine. You just won't get too go to Europe." he sighed. I could tell it was fake.
"There was money involved in this little deal wasn't there?" I asked simply.
"Ha, well...I'm, I'm required to say no."
"Oh come on you guys, does everything have to be about money?" The other end of the line was silent for a moment.
"We kinda needed it actually. To be honest, we're a little underfunded at the moment." he admitted.
"Ugh! Fine I'll do it, I just wanna go to Europe. So who do I have to work with?"
"One second, let me look her up...ah here's the info, the name's Lilly Truscott. Looks like she's about as famous-"
"Oh hell no." I hung up the call. I quickly changed out of my pj's and into some short shorts, sandles and a t-shirt. Then ran downstairs, got in my car and sped to the gas station to grab a beer.
Next thing I knew, I was sitting back on my couch and drinking the bottle. Dreading what the rest of the month would bring. I lay there for several hours, feeling tired from getting up at the early hour I did. Wait, drinking. Drinks. I've gotta tell my friends, they're usually awake by now. With that thought I called up a back up singer.
"Hello?"
"Hey Mikayla, you awake?" I asked in a hurry.
"Obviously, would I answer if I wasn't?" We both chuckled. "So what's up Miles?"
"Listen I've got some big news. Call Joanie and meet me at the local bar."
"Wait the bar? Miley you're gonna get mobbed."
"No I won't. Putting my hair up and in a hat seemed to work last time."
"Yeah only if you get the same idiot bar tender. Alright then, good luck, we'll meet you there in about 10 minutes." she sighed.
"Great, bye." we both hung up. I grabbed my keys and walked out to my car again. The small beer I had was several hours ago, so I figured I was sober enough. I felt like I was anyway.
Once at the bar, I ordered some shots and began to get them down my throat and into my stomach quickly. I tried to get Lilly out of my head, but it was no use. What would the point be anyway? I was going to have to start working with my rival soon, weather I like it or not.
The door of the bar opened and closed again and again I looked over at the entrance. My friends had finally arrived. I got up from my stool to go see them. But as I tried, I almost fell over since I was so dizzy. That's when I realized I may have had too many drinks without noticing. I was just too busy dwelling on the next sad step of my life. Now I walked towards Mikayla and Joannie, supporting myself on tables as I went.
"Oh hey Miles, looks like you lucked out with the same bar tender again." Mikayla told me. My head was fuzzy though, I just tried to focus on telling them why they were here.
"Uh huh, it's sooo good to see you guys." I said slowly. Then I gave both of them a hug at the same time, squishing their shoulders together. "Its been like...for-forever."
"Whoa, I think it's a little early in the day for you to get this drunk." Joanie told me.
"No." I tried to defend.
"Miles how much have you had?" Mikayla asked.
"I-I...I don't count, cause I don't care about that." I said sleepily. "I just wanna have a goood time. Oh and I gotta tell you guys something too. Come here and sit." I walked over to a little table and they followed.
"That's right, you said you have some big news. So let's hear it." Mikayla urged.
"K, we're getting a new record company." I said, rubbing my forehead as I felt a huge headache start up.
"What's up with that?" Joanie asked.
"Well it's complicated. If I still want my tour in Europe, signing with Twin World Records is my only option." I sighed, then rested my head in my arms.
"But that doesn't make sense, why can't you stay with the one you have?" Mikayla asked.
I kept my head down and mumbled a little. "Cause apparently there's another singer who wants a US tour and this, this company wants publicity. With one of us they can get it, but with thhee two of us together they can get a whole lot more. Soo they're making me merge and go on a tour and do duets." I practically whined.
"Well that sucks, who's the singer?" Mikayla asked.
I slowly lifted my head up, glared off into space then lay it back down in my arms and mumbled. "Lilly Truscott."
"What?" The two girls said in unison.
"You heard me and I ain't sayin it again."
A/N: Review! Peace!
