Ok, so I have a confession, I've had this chapter written since the last one was posted, I just didn't like it at all. Still don't, it seems very unreal to me and I know it's fiction lol but I just don;t like the way I wrote it. It's the only way i can think of to write it though so I'm gonna roll with it and see where it takes me blehh. so here it is cringes

Chapter 8

Is This Really a Bad Thing?

When Tom got off the phone he told the others that Fletch would be there soon. They all sat there in silence waiting for him to arrive. When he finally did, he walked into the kitchen and, surprisingly, he was smiling.

"You ok, Fletch?" Harry asked.

"Oh, yea, I'm great," he said, sitting down next to Dougie and smiling cheesily at him.

"Tom, are you sure you told him the right thing?" Danny asked, confused.

"No, Danny, I told him that Richard Simmons was dancing naked in our living room," Tom said sarcastically," Of course I told him about Jada and Dougie."

"Why are you so happy?" Dougie asked.

Fletch smiled even bigger and looked at the two," Because, from now on, you two are a "couple."

Everyone grew quiet and stared at Fletch.

"Excuse me, what?" Jada asked, standing up and looking at Fletch.

"Well, You guys have been out of the media for a while now," Fletch sighed.

Danny looked around confused," It's been a week!"

"That's beside the point," Fletch said," We think it's a good idea to get this into the media, give you guys some attention for a while."

"Fletch, you're nuts! Why not use Danny and Paula?" Dougie screamed.

Fletch scoffed," They're old news. we need a new scandal, and this is exactly what we're looking for. You guys will "date" for a couple of weeks, or months, I mean the longer the better, and then we'll spill that Jada's been cheating on you. We'll get so many concerned and worried fans for Dougie, it'll be a goldmine."

"Yea, but, what about Jada's reputation? This will make people hate her," Lisette said, staring daggers at Fletch.

Fletch looked at Jada and smiled," C'mon, Jada, you're up for this right? I mean, you'll get national coverage in magazines and stuff. It'll be fun."

"National coverage in magazines? You think thats what I care about? You really think I'm that superficial?" Jada asked.

Fletch rolled his eyes," Look, it doesn't matter what I think. Don't you want to help Dougie and the boys out?"

"Not this way," Paula said, standing up and putting an arm around Jada's shoulders.

"I agree," Lisette said, mimicking Paula's movements.

"Ok, so no Jada, but either way Dougie, you're doing this. Everyone's, already making arrangements, we'll just find another girl."

Fletch got up and started to walk towards the door and Jada looked at Dougie, appalled.

"Aren't you going to object, say something?"

"I can't," Dougie sighed, looking into her eyes," It's in my contract, I have to do everything he says."

"That's rediculous," Jada said.

"No," Tom said, putting his head down," That's called not really reading a contract before you sign it."

Jada started to think about this, she really didn't want to make Dougie go through this with someone he doesn't even know, especially since she was the one who caused it. She had made up her mind, there was no turning back now.

"Fletch, wait, I'll do it."

Everyone looked up surprised, but none more than Dougie.

"What? Jada, you don't have to do this."

Jada looked down at him and smiled," Yes I do, I'm the one who got you into this mess. I guess I'm going to have to go throught it with you."

"Wonderful," Fletch said while clapping his hands together,"It'll be in the news tomorrow. Good night guys. Oh, I'm going to need a picture of you two together."

Everyone looked around the room and Jada's eyes landed on her school binder once again. She sighed, walked over to it and took the picture of the two of them out and handed it to Fletch.

Fletch smiled," Perfect, You guys actually look like a couple."

"I want to see," Dougie said, standing up and walking over," Hey, this is pretty good."

"I was going to make you guys copies, but I didn't have time before we came over."

"Anyway," Fletch interupted," you two kids practice being a couple, and I'll give this to the papers."

He turned and walked out of the door, leaving everyone in a stunned silence.

"I don't get it," Harry said," Nobody's ever had to make up a scandal before?"

"That's because you guys are usually scandalous enough on your own," Paula said, rolling her eyes.

"I guess we've been too good," Tom shrugged his shoulders.

"How do you practice being a couple," Lisette asked.

Dougie looked at Jada," Beats me, I mean we only have to act like one in public and I think I've been in enough relationships to know how to act like I'm in one."

Jada sighed," We need to get our story strait. You know, how we got together, how long it's been, stuff like that."

So everyone sat up half the night thinking of a story to tell eveyone. The girls were completely exausted by the time they were done and had to crash at the guys place, along with Gabe. Jada barley got any sleep because she couldn't help but think of what was going at happen at school tomorrow, when everyone would finally know about Dougie and her's "relationship".
