Hey guys! Prepare yourselves! I hope you enjoy this update :) Let me know what you think will happen.
KARMA POV
I woke up in the middle of the night to find that Amy wasn't with me. Where did she go? When did she leave?
It's been 3 months since I've seen or heard from Amy. I don't even know where she was or what I did for her to leave. It didn't make any sense to me. I spent days trying to figure out what I did. I texted and called her but I got nothing at all. I knew I wouldn't get an answer and I didn't want to seem like a freak and clingy and show up at her house, so I gave up trying. It ticked me off not knowing why she wouldn't talk to me. I know it's stupid, I only knew her for a week or so but I actually started to like her and I thought she did too, so what changed. Maybe people don't change after all. I was just blinded by her, that I couldn't see that I was getting played. I hated myself for believing that she was different.
What have I been doing for the past three months? I've been going to auditions and I've also gotten many people email me about movie roles. It was pretty cool to have people come to me for parts. It was truly all brand new to me. People want me in movies, commercials, and music videos.
I was offered a movie deal in which I would be the main actress. The movie was some romantic basic flick. I thought it would be an easy movie so I accepted the offer. The movie was set to start filming next year some time. It was exciting to have a leading role in a movie. I had to search for a manager to help me keep up with all this. The director told me he would mail me the script so I could prepare myself and ask him questions if I needed to clarify anything.
I could thank Amy for getting me acknowledged. The video we filmed got millions of views and people loved it! Few people have recognized me on the street and every time I didn't know what to say to them. Paul, Amy's bodyguard, has been with me since the video came out and he has been a great help. I didn't have to be afraid when fans crowd me. They always ask me how Amy was doing and I would just say she's fine even if I didn't know. They were all kind and loving; it's amazing to have them look up to me.
Amy's been in the news a couple of times and she was usually with a different girl each time. I wouldn't say I was jealous or anything. She can do whatever she wanted and I had no say in that. Maybe she couldn't do this whole relationship thing after all. How can I get over someone I wasn't even in a relationship with?
I went home after a long day at this audition and all I wanted to do was sleep. I took a shower and checked my emails for anything new. I had a new email from Amy's management company. They wanted to meet up with me on Friday. That's all the email said. It didn't have anything else. Why did they want to see me? Do they want to offer me another role in one of Amy's videos? If so, I'm good. I'm done working with her. I figured it wouldn't hurt to go to this meeting though. I don't know what they possibly wanted from me, but I was curious.
I heard my alarm go off and I was dreading this morning already. It was 7 am and this meeting was at 10. I took a shower and got ready not wasting anytime. When I was all done it was almost 9. I started walking to the management building stopping to get some coffee on the way. I headed up to the top floor and told the lady, whom I assumed was the assistant, that I was Karma Ashcroft. She told me to head to the back of the hall and it will be the third door on the right.
I walked to the door and saw two people, who looked like they were important people of this company, at the end of the table. It was a man who looked like he was in his mid 30s and a lady who looked like she had a permanent bitch face. I saw Lauren with the same worried expression she had during the music video days. I sat down in front of Lauren as she smiled at me slightly. Amy was nowhere here and I expected she wasn't coming. We just sat in silence and the lady was whispering in the man's ear. I looked over at Lauren and asked her what was going on. Right when she was going to answer the door opened and there she was, the infamous Amy Raudenfeld. I should be use to her appearing at meetings late, but no.
Amy walked in and sat next to Lauren. She looked at the table the whole time, as she tried not looking at me. The man then started talking, "Hello everyone. I'm glad you joined us today, Miss Ashcroft. I'm Finnegan and this is Diana." I looked at both of them and smiled awkwardly.
"We called you in to discuss an offer we have for you." He continued. "In the past couple of months Amy's popularity has hit an all time high and many people have started looking at her in a positive light. You, Karma, have shown us that you are good for Amy and her music."
I looked at him confused not understanding what he could possibly offer me about being "good" for Amy.
"We want you to sign an agreement that basically says that you will not say anything we discussed today to anyone outside of this meeting." The lady said walking over to me handing me a piece of paper. I looked over it and signed my name at the bottom.
"Okay, now that we got over that we want to offer you a deal that will make Amy look good in the people's eyes. We think that if Amy has a stable relationship it would be very beneficial to her character. There are charts that have shown us how much people love you and Amy together. I think it will raise the sells of Amy's upcoming album and more people will start liking her. Where we are trying to get at is that we want you to be Amy's girlfriend," Finnegan said.
"What?!" Amy and I said at the same time.
"No." I said not even thinking about it.
"Karma, hear us out, please. You will have to act like Amy's girlfriend, which means going on dates and basic things like that. You will get paid double the amount you are receiving now, if not triple, and you will get many benefits along the way," Diana said.
"I just said no. It's not happening," I said looking at both of them. I looked at Amy who was pissed off. She had her fist balled up like she was refraining herself from doing anything.
"Okay. But we have one final offer and if you say no then we will completely understand," he said looking at me smiling. I looked right at him knowing that nothing will make me fake it with Amy Raudenfeld.
"We will give you a record deal."
