Hey! I'm sorry I posted this late. I was trying to see what exactly I wanted to do with this story! But, here's the new chapter. Let me know what you think. :) Thank you for reading!
"That's bullshit Finn and you know it! You can't do that!" Amy stood up yelling at the man.
"Amy, sit down or I will kick you out of this building," He said glaring at Amy.
Wait. A record deal. This is all that I have wanted. All I have to do is a publicity stunt and I can have my dream. I can sing and go on tours doing what I love, but I would have to FAKE a relationship.
"Karma, this is a record deal. It's real not a lie. We will be your record deal and management company. All you have to do is be Amy's girlfriend. It's really that simple. We aren't pranking you or trying to trick you." Finn said.
"There's a contract that will have to be signed by both of you that says that you two will, in fact, hold this deal for a year. If you do not there will be major consequences." Diana added.
"What kind of consequences?" I questioned.
"Well if you break the contract you will have to pay minimum 20 million dollars and there is a chance of prison time, but it is only for one year and you will get your singing career that you've always wanted."
"How do you even know I want to be a singer?" I asked.
"Lauren, here, told us that you liked to sing. So, we wanted to give you something as you gave us something in return. And after the contact is over, I assure you that you will remain a singer. We will not take that away from you." He gave me a smug smile.
A year of faking it as Amy's girlfriend? I can do this. Right? Amy was still furious over this whole situation but I couldn't think about her right now. I can't let my emotions get in the way right now. I have to look at what is best for me. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I have to take it.
"I'll do it." I said as Amy said, "No, I can't do this."
She got up to leave as Finn said, "Amy if you do not sign this contact, we will kick you out of this company and the news we hid about your beloved girlfriend- what was her name? - Oh yeah, Katie, will be all over the media within a couple of hours."
She stopped as she got to the door and turned to glare at him, "You wouldn't do that."
"Try me." He said seriously.
She shook her head unbelievingly that all of this was actually happening. She sat down again and Finn and Diana whispered to each other. Why would they threaten Amy like that? They were so desperate for this. Why? Do all they care about is money? It was screwed up. All of this was, but I took the deal. So, I guess I'm just as screwed up as them.
"Okay you two these are the rules. I will tell you when and where to go on dates, unless said otherwise. Amy if you go somewhere, take her." Diana instructed Amy. "Karma you have to go to events and every thing Amy goes to. I will also control both yours and Amy's social media pages. You two are a couple after you sign this, so act like it. Understood?" She said talking mostly to Amy.
Amy was just sitting in her chair with her eyes closed. Lauren was angry with all of this as well, but she couldn't really say anything. She worked for Finn and this company.
Diana held the contact that said everything she just explained. She handed it to me and I signed it. Amy hesitantly signed the contact and stormed out of the room. I just stared at my hands, hoping I made the right choice.
"Karma you are officially a member of this management and a singer with a record deal! I hope you are as excited as us. We will give you more details later after all of this sinks in. Lauren will be your manager along with Amy's." Finn said standing up to leave with Diana.
I didn't say anything back as both of them walked out of the room leaving me alone with Lauren.
"What the hell is going on Lauren?!" Is this why you were worried during all those days shooting the video? Because you knew, didn't you? Why didn't you say anything to us?"
"Karma, it's was much more complicated! I couldn't say anything or I would've gotten fired. The meeting I had to go to that one day was because they were thinking of hiring you. I told them you wouldn't do it. But they were would not give up. They heard me saying you wanted to sing, so they used that as an incentive for you to do this whole charade." Lauren explained.
"But they won. They got me to do it. I want to sing more than anything. I know Amy is upset but this is for me. She stopped talking to me for months without an explanation so obviously she doesn't really care about me, so maybe I should stop caring and do what I want." I said looking at Lauren trying not to cry.
"She cares, Karma. She does. I'm sure she had a good reason for not talking to you. Don't you understand that she hates faking things? This means she will have to lie to her fans that she is actually dating you. Amy hates lying to her fans." Lauren said.
When I got home I sat down and thought about what just happened. If I break this contact I have to pay 20 million dollars?! Where am I suppose to get that kind of money?! Also I'll have to go to jail. How will I survive in jail? I just can't break this contract. Hopefully Amy doesn't make it hard for me. I can do this. I know I can. How hard can it possibly be? Seriously? I go places with Amy and pretend we are together. I'll be fine… I think.
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and I pulled it out. It was a text from Amy. She texted saying be ready tomorrow night at 9. I texted her back asking for what, but she never texted me back. I guess she was still angry with this and she's only texting me because she has to.
I slept on it hoping tomorrow goes better than today.
