6: The band is dead

"Okay, Girl Time from the top." Gustavo says in the mic.


"Why are there pillows in here?" James asks.


"They just absorb any extra echo in the booth. And I put some fruit water in there incase your mouths gets dry." Kelly says into the mic and the boys nod.


"Amber, get in there. You're gonna do the backing vocals for the song." Kelly says and I nod, walking into the booth.


I greet the guys and put on a pair of headphones.


"Okay, from the top and-" Gustavo starts but is cut off as Kendall hits Carlos on the head with the mic.


"Not so tough without your helmet, are you?" Kendall laughs.


"Funny. Do it again." Carlos says in an angry tone.


Kendall does it again and I shake my head.


"Ugh!" Carlos yells and grabs a fruit water, ready to aim at Kendall.


He misses and accidentally sprays it in Logan.


"Hey, knock it off!" Logan says, taking his headphones off.


Carlos shrugs and sprays it again but this time, he hits me and I gasp, looking down at my shirt.


"Oh, hell no!" I exclaim and grab a bottle, aiming at Carlos but I spray James instead.


"You just ruined my lucky white v-neck!" James exclaims and starts spraying the fruit water all over us.


"Ahhh!" Kendall yells and grabs two other bottles and sprays them both at once.


"Kendall!" I shout and grab a pillow, whacking him with it.


He then grabs the pillow from and looks at me for a second, then spraying fruit water in my face.


I wipe my eyes and then slap him, hard.


"Asshole." I growl, spraying him back.


"Ahhh!" Carlos screeches as his face gets dragged along the glass and I see Kelly and Gustavo cringing.


"Enough!" I hear Gustavo yell and we all flinch, covering our ears.


James, Carlos and Logan give us glares and follow Gustavo, brushing past us.


I turn to Kendall and he looks down at me.


I then grab a bottle from the chair and spray the rest of the fruit water on his head and he closes his eyes.


"Prick." I state and turn on my heels to walk away.


I then feel his firm grip on my arm and he steps toward me, making my body hit against his.


"I'm sorry." He sighs and I frown, pushing some of his wet hair out of his face.


"I know." I state and he smirks at me and I grin, crossing my arms and he follows behind me.

We're currently all lined up, soaked in fruit water and covered in pillow feathers.


At least we smell pretty good.


"You can't sing." Gustavo says to Carlos.


"You can't sing or dance." Gustavo says, moving to Logan.


"I can back flip." Logan grins.


"Stop it."


"Okay." He nods.


"Forever."


"Mmm." He mumbles, putting his head down.


Gustavo then makes his way to James who has the biggest grin on his face.


Gustavo gives him a look and moves on to me, leaving James frowning.


"You, are supposed to set an example!" He exclaims at me.


"I'm the not the one who started it!" I protest and then Gustavo moves on to Kendall.


"And worst of all, you don't even seem to want this!" He yells.


"What about me? I can sing, dance and I want this." James says.


"You remind me a lot of Matthew Mccounaughey."


"Awesome." James grins.


"I can't stand Matthew Mccounaughey." Gustavo says and James frowns.


"This group can't sing, can't dance. You don't have a song or a look, and they're covered in feathers!" He yells.


"And I would rather quit right now than commit pop suicide on Friday in front of the record company."


"However, there is one song I would love to play for you." Gustavo adds, walking over the piano.


"Ooh, now that I'm through, bangin' my head, this band of dogs is officially, dead!" He shouts the last part.


I let out a huff and scurry off, jogging down the hallway.


"Amber, wait!" A voice says and pulls my arm.


"What do you want Kendall?" I shake my head, yanking my arm away from him.


"I'm sorry." He frowns.


"Sorry isn't gonna cut it this time. You just put you and guys's career at risk. And mine too. I'll see you later." I say, shaking my head and run faster down the hall.


They just fucked everything up for me.
