Chapter 13
Duncan's POV
Finally I get a chance to show my point of view on things.
Anyway, Selena's way too naggy. I'm the older brother, she should not be bossing me around. The producer's meeting can't possibly be that important. I'm not even gonna pay attention, why should I have to go?
More importantly, why are we walking? This is a huge waste of time. I should not be forced to walk everywhere. Why doesn't a special forces team have a car? Ok, they do have a car, but Jenny and Nicolas are the only ones who can legally drive it because it's a registered police car. Since when has the law stopped me, though?
So we finally get the building that the guy's office is in and sit at a table with the rest of the band members.
"Selena, are you absolutely confident in your ability to write hit songs?" the producer asked.
"Yeah, aren't you?" Selena replied.
"Well, not exactly," said the producer. "Let me play some of the recent hit songs for you."
The dude put an old school stereo on the table and hit play. It was just a bunch of lovey-dovey pop garbage.
"This is the kind of stuff that fans want," the producer said.
"I don't write for the fans, I write for me, other people just listen" said Selena.
"I'm gonna need a song like these from you," the producer assigned.
"No," Selena defied. "First of all, that is not my style of music. Second of all, you can't just turn my song writing on and off. Fans like me because I'm honest. I write what feel."
"If you don't write me the song, I'll drop you from the record label
"Whoa, dude, that is not fair," I chimed in. The other band members made noises of agreement.
"Business isn't fair," the producer replied. "The economy isn't that great, so you make what people will buy. You have one week, and if I don't have my new hit song, I'll have to fire all of you."
Alright, this guy's a major bastard. But, I don't write the songs, so I don't have to worry about it. I don't see why Selena would want to work for him anyway, but whatever.
End of Chapter 13
A/N: I figured that since Duncan is a main character now, I might as well give him a chapter in his POV. His POV is pretty boring at this point in the story, though. Sorry the chapter was so short, I'll pick it up again soon with Selena's POV.
