Chapter 11

Emily's POV

We recorded three songs today which was pretty productive.

The first one we did was Love Will Tell Us Where To Go by Bridgit Mendler which was supposed to show the more mysterious side of me. Then, we did Catch My Breath by Kelly Clarkson but changed it up so I could sing all of it. Finally, we did A Place In This World by Taylor Swift which basically described my dream and how I'm trying to find who I am.

"Remember, you have a meet and greet with R5 today and at seven I have a dinner planned with some very important people I want you to meet." Alex said, going through some papers when I walked over to the other side of the window.

"What important people?" I asked. I'm already signed, what more could happen?

"Well, they just want to meet you. I mean, yes, as of right now you are focusing on your singing career but they also want to see your acting skills." Alex said.

"What? Acting? Where did they get that idea?" I asked. Its not that I'm bad at acting but I never really saw it as part of my career.

"They just want to see since most singers could be actors. Like, when you're singing a song, you get into a different mind set and personality, which is almost like acting. Its not that big of a deal but they just want to get to know you. Don't worry about it." Alex shrugged as if everyday he has this kind of situation.

"Ok, if you say so." I looked at the ground, unsure of this.

I didn't have anything against acting. In fact, it would be incredible to be a singer and an actress, but I wasn't sure I liked Alex making these decisions for me. I guess that's just part of his job so I let it go.

"So, we're done for the day. Just make sure you get to the meet and greet on time. Here's the address." He wrote the address down on a piece of paper and handed it to me.

"Thanks, I won't be late." I smiled. I stuck the paper in my pocket and when I walked outside to look for my car, I remembered I didn't have it. I guess I better call Rydel, I thought to myself and called her number.

Hey! This is Rydel. Sorry I can't come to the phone right now but leave a message after the beep!!

Great. Who else would I call? I guess I could try Riker.

Yo! Sorry I'm not here but you know what to do!

Really?! No one?! My last resort was Ross and I was praying that he had his phone on.

-phone ringing-

"Hello?" He answered. Yes!

"Hey Ross! Its Emily." I said.

"Hey Em!" He sounded just as excited, which made me smile. "What's up?"

"Well, I just got done recording and I totally forgot my car wasn't here, so-" I started but he cut me off.

"I can give you a ride." He said quickly.

"Really? That would be great. Thanks." I said in relief.

I guess I could've asked Alex for a ride but I wasn't in the mood to do that.

"Sweet. I'll be there in fifteen minutes." He said.

"Alright, see you then." I replied and then hung up the phone.

Sure enough, within fifteen minutes Ross pulled into the parking lot.

"Hey, thanks for giving me a ride." I thanked him as I climbed into the passenger seat of his car.

"No problem." He smiled and started the engine.

"So, what time is the meet and greet?" I asked him. I knew what it was but I needed to spark up a conversation.

"Three. Be there or be square." He said and I gave a small laugh.

"Well, I guess I'll be there then." I joked and he laughed.

"So, were headed to your house, right?" He asked.

"Yep." I replied.

"Ok." He said but there was a tone of disappointment.

"Is that ok?" I asked him.

"What? Oh, yeah. I mean, unless you wanted to come over." He said it more like a question then a suggestion.

"Well, if you insist. I have nothing better to do anyway." I gave a small laugh.

"Cool." He smiled and seemed a lot happier.

Ross's POV

Sweet! Emiy's coming over!

I wasn't sure how to bring it up but I'm so glad that I did.

After that conversation, we didn't say much. There were only a few comments here and there on things we passed by but no real communication, which was nice. I loved driving with Emily sitting next to me and just enjoying the moment in silence. It was incredible.

When I pulled into the driveway, I got out of the car and Emily was already walking towards the house before I even had a chance to open her door for her.

"Well someone's in a rush to get inside." I winked at her.

She just laughed and I held the door open for her.

"Emily! Hey! I didn't know you were coming over." Rocky smiled and gave her a hug.

"Five minutes ago I didn't either." She joked and he gave a small laugh.

"How was recording?" He asked her.

"It was good. Got three songs done." She said.

"That's cool. Excited for the tour?" He smiled.

"Definitely. I can't wait." She smiled back.

"We're going to hang out in my room." I said and held Emily's hand to lead her to my room.

"Oh you crazy kids." Rocky teased us and turned on the tv in the living room.

When we walked in, I completely forgot to clean my room. It was like a tornado had blasted through there.

"Wow, you really know how to be organized." Emily teased me.

"I totally forgot to clean this up." I said nervously.

"Don't worry about it. If you saw my room, you would think a hurricane went through it." She laughed.

She sat down on my bed and leaned against the back of it. I sat across from her where my feet would be if I was laying down.

At first, we sat in silence, but then a conversation arose.

"So," I started, "I have a few questions to ask you." I gave her a playful look.

"Oh really?" She asked, playing along.

"Yep. First question. Are you happy you're here? I mean, with me?" I asked her.

She took a second to think about it and then answered. "I definitely am." She smiled and I smiled back.

"Second question. If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose?"

"What?" She laughed.

"Hey, I have to keep it interesting." I laughed.

"Fair enough. Um, I'd probably pick pasta." She said.

"Really? Mhm, most girls I know would pick salad." I said.

"Well, maybe I'm not like most girls." She gave a small smile.

"Last question. What was Rydel hiding last night? I know it wasn't a weird picture on twitter. Trust me Em, you can tell me." I looked right into her eyes and was begging for a truthful answer. I needed to know.

She seemed like she was struggling to answer and just as she opened her mouth to say something, Rocky came into the room.

Emily's POV

Out of all the questions he could've asked, he picked that one?! I really don't want to tell him what's been going on with twitter and everything and I definitely wasn't going to tell him now.

He looked at me with concerned eyes and I caved.

Just as I opened my mouth to tell him, Rocky came into the room. Thanks goodness.

"Hey guys, its time to go to the meet and greet." He smiled and walked away.

"Well, I guess we better go." I said and started to leave when Ross pulled on my arm slightly.

"Emily, you can tell me, you know that right? Whatever is bothering you, you can tell me." He looked at me with a concerned look and I could barely look at his eyes.

"I know. Trust me, its nothing." I smiled and made my way to the living room to get ready.

No, that wasn't true. I lied straight to Ross's face. Except, I had to. I don't want him worrying too much about me and as long as he's ok, then I am.

I'm not happy with the fans hating on Rossily and yes, I've even had thoughts about breaking up with him because of that, but the way he looked at me, I knew I couldn't let some comments get in the way of us. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?

"Hey Em!" Rydel greeted me with a hug.

"Hey Rydel!" I exclaimed.

"How long were you here for?" She asked me.

"Not long. Since I didn't have my car, Ross came to pick me up from the recording studio and I ended up here." I smiled.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I should've picked you up. My phone was on silent because I was grocery shopping with my mom. I'm really sorry about that." She apologized.

"Don't worry! Its totally fine." I smiled and we hooked arms and made our way to her car.

When we got there, it was still pretty early so there weren't any fans waiting outside quite yet.

"So, Alex put up on our website that you were going to be here. He also put u a poll to see if fans actually wanted you to be here and out of the 500 that voted, 480 of them said yes." Rydel smiled at me as we walked into the building.

"Are you serious?! That's awesome!" I exclaimed. "Do you know why so many said yes?" I asked.

"Because you're awesome!" Rocky winked at me.

"Yeah, I don't think that's it." I laughed.

"Well, Alex did put up your covers as well and maybe that's why. Besides, we've tweeted about you before so its not like no one knows who you are." Rydel said.

"I guess that's true." I shrugged.

"Hey, can you guys help me out with setting up?" Ryland asked us.

"Ryland! I've finally met you officially." I smiled at him.

He wasn't at the house last night since he had some stuff to do and ended up coming to this building right away in the morning so since I've met R5, I haven't met Ryland.

"Oh, you're the new girl Emily, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, that's me." I smiled.

"Awesome! Nice to meet you." He smiled back and stuck out his hand for me to shake.

"You too." I said.

"So anyway, can you guys help?" He asked us.

"Sure. What should we do?" Riker asked.

"Well, the tables are already set up but we need help with setting up the merchandise and deciding how we're going to let the fans in." Ryland said.

"We're on it!" Rocky exclaimed and we got to work.
