I think I'm really a jinx...this happened to you the moment I came back. I'm never good news" She mutters.
"Addison dear" Her mother called from the door. She was actually just coming back from the doctor's office.
"M... what did the doctor said?"
"It's bad...they don't know when he'll wake up" Her mother sighs.
"What to do..." She whimpers.
"Dear..." Mrs Beckett went closer to her.
"What do I do M... what do I do about Aiden?"
"He'll be fine...he will...it's such a pity he ended up like this."
"Do you know what he told me M. He asked me to help him. He wanted me to help him achieve his dreams".
"Do you want to do that?"
"Mom, I can't do it. It's hard for me to finally get over the pain...how can I go into it again?"
"My daughter...you don't have to force yourself...if you can't do it then so be it."
"But what about Aiden? His dreams?"
"Always remember you're you...and he's he. You're two different people with just the same face. You're not the same Addison. Your desires differ also. It was his destiny to end up like that and whatever happens later...is all part of destiny. Remember that?"
"M...do you believe in destiny?"
"I believe destiny, fate is this world itself. Do what you really want. Don't force anything dear" Her mother advised. Addison sniffs and rested her head on her chest while she strokes her hair.
"All will be well...don't worry."
(VIOLA STANLEY'S ROOM)
"Aish! I hate this place!" Viola scattered her hair hitting her legs on the bed.
"I want to go home!!" She whined.
"You can't now until you pass gas Viola" Her manager replied solemnly.
"Aish...whatever!" She got away from the bed.
"You can't go out Viola."
"The room is stuffy and smelly. I don't like the smellness I need fresh air" Viola replied going out of her ward.
"Smallness? What the hell is that? Weight...wait!" Her manager came in front of her wearing a Scaff around her neck covering her head and face with it.
"Am I some Arab's wife? Take this away".
"Should I bring a veil then?"
"You're so annoying seriously" She rolled her eyes.
Addison came out of Aiden's room sniffing. She started leaving and Viola's eyes caught her.
"Who is that bitch, and why does she have my head?" Viola spat.
"It's not your head viola, her hair colour is just similar to yours. And I told you this many times not everyone is a b*tch" Briggs, her manager corrected.
"If I don't like her then she's a b*tch. How dare she imitate me bridge"
"It's personated not imitate for goodness's sake! Try to_"
Viola started walking towards her before Briggs could finish.
"Where are you going? Come back here Viola!!" He went after her immediately.
"Hey!!" Viola pulled Addison's hand stopping her.
Addison looks at her with teary messed up face.
Viola gasp staring at her. When she wouldn't say anything, Addison removes her hand and ran off.
"Viola what are you doing!" Briggs held her back as he got to her.
"Manager Bridge...she looks scary" she whined like a baby.
"Come on viola let's go back to the room. Nobody must see you like this remember they all thought you're in Switzerland do you want them to find out you're in the hospital having surgery for your appendix".
"Aish! Damn, appendix! Damn, this hospital! I want to leave!!"
"You know we can't do that until you...pump."
"That stupid fart! You stupid FART!!" She stomps her feet on the ground. But just then the fart came out, really really loud getting eyes on them.
"Oh!" She grinned.
"It came out! It came out!" She yelled happily. Briggs quickly covers her face properly with the Scaff since eyes were already on them.
"It's finally done...I can go home now!"
"Sure...let's go...home" he replied in an exhausting voice taking her out of there with his face scrunching.
"Is he here yet?" President Morris asked for the umpteenth time. His face was full of worries and fear.
"Not yet PM" Jia, the STARR BOYZ' manager replied.
"You've called him?"
"It's not going through."
"F**k!! Look for him! You have to look for him! Everything is ready and he's the only one missing does that makes sense!! He's the star of tonight! This can't be ruined. Either you get him or find someone who looks exactly like him! You must bring AIDEN TO ME WITHIN FIVE MINUTES!!"
"PM" A guy who's clearly a worker rushed into the office.
He's...he's here, The guy said panting heavily.
***
I'm sorry for coming late, Addison says. Her hair was already cut short, and her chest was flat. She looks exactly like Aiden.
We'll talk about that later...just go get him ready.
Yes PM, Jia replied.
Follow me, she says leaving while Addison follows.
President Morris breathes in.
I just lost twenty out of my damn years.
EVERYBODY LET'S WELCOME THE NEWEST MEMBER OF STARR BOYZ AIDEN BECKETT!!!
President Morris announced. The curtain parted and Addison came into view looking handsome and pretty at the same time. The camera started flashing on him and she breathe out before stepping out.
Snaps shots filled the place. Reporters snapping at him and writing articles on their various laptops at the same time at all angles of the building.
Addison stood still, blinking uncomfortably with the camera lights flashing on her.
It's been ages since she faces so many lights like this and the last encounter, she had been really a pleasant one. It was a disastrous one to be precise.
Old memories started flashing through her mind and she could feel her head turning.
Get her off!
What is she doing!!
"She can't sing!!
"She's a disaster!!
"Get off the stage little girl!!
"I'm disappointed in you Addison.
I told you right? You're nothing but an incompetent coward" Her rooted feet on the floor became unsteady as the past resurface in her head.
I can't...I can't...do this" She staggers backward shaking her head.
Addie..." Aidan's voice ring in her ear and she could picture his face.
Aiden...I can't..." She mutters to herself. Now the reporters have started to find her strange.
What's with him?" President Morris looks at her worried.
Is he going to flop? Oh no this can't be a disaster! He rubs his forehead exasperated.
Look around you...Aidan's voice came again softly to her ear.
Can you see them all...can you? My dream...your dream...that's our dream Addie...you can do it. The voice stopped.
"Aiden..." She looks at the reporters who all had a questioning look on.
Balling her palms, she summons the little courage in her. She releases a soft sigh, then her lips welcomed a big smile.
This cleared the reporters' rising doubts and they resumed taking his pictures. President Morris breathes out in relief. Clapping and grinning at the same time.
Come in, President Morris said and Addison came into the house with her luggage.
Hey, guys! Guess who I'm here with!!" President Morris said to Ashton and Finlay who was in the house.
Ashton dropped his phone which he was playing a game on while Finlay who lay on the couch stood up also.
It's our newest star in town! AIDEN BECKETT!! HOO!!!" He announced excitedly clapping.
Oh, my God! Addison gasps on seeing Ashton and Finlay.
You! She pointed at Finlay.
And you!! She moves her hand to Ashton.
You two! She gasped covering her mouth with her palms.
What's wrong? You are acting like you just know who they are" President Morris nudge her.
I... I they..." She stuttered.
Anyways guys...he's the newest member you've been anticipating...he's cool, isn't he?
A new member! Welcome, I've been expecting you! You look super handsome let's be brothers uh!" Ashton enthused going to hug her but then stopped midway.
Do you think I'll say that? His expression changes to an unpleasant one.
Uh?" Addison raised a brow.
PM, I told you right? I clearly made it clear I don't welcome any more people joining us, but you went ahead and bring in this urchin! He points at Addison who check herself out.
What do you mean? Did you eat the wrong dinner...why speak like that? Anyway, I'm thinking of giving him Rush's room for the time being_"
"Don't even go there PM. There's no f**king way she's staying in that room" Ashton cut in.
"I don't support that either," Finlay said also. Addison only watches them in confusion.
"Erm...I don't want to either but_"
"Then don't!" Ashton interrupted again while he sighs.
"Then you don't mind sharing a room with him, right?"
"What!!! NO!!!" Addison and Ashton said in unison.
"Um..." President Morris itches his hair.
"Don't even think of it PM. No way that'll ever happen. If she's got no place to sleep, then she can go sleep on the highway for all I care!" Ashton snapped.
"What?" Addison frowns. Ashton faces her.
"Hey...keep this in mind your stay here will be very eventful and peaceless...I'm going to make you leave on your own will" Ashton threatens before leaving obviously not pleased with her being there.
"He's a jerk! Is Aiden not welcomed here?" Addison thought within.
"Erm...Fin you_"
"I don't like strangers around me" Finlay replied curtly before President Morris could even finish. He gave Addison a blank look before going to his room also.
Addison sighs.
"Don't worry...they're just in a bad mood. You can use Robin's room for now...he's not around. I'll explain things to him when he comes back okay?" President Morris assured. Addison just nodded releasing a tired sigh.
"Follow me" President Morris head upstairs and she follows suit.
"This is the room. You can rest now...I'll take my leave too".
"Thank you, President Mor, _"
"Instead of a mouthful just call me like others."
"PM"
"You did well tonight. I'm proud of you. And don't think much about the guys...they'll accept you...they're all good guys" He pats her before leaving and Addison made her way into the room.
Closing the door, she went straight to the bed slumping on it without even bothering to turn on the lights.
"Ugh!!" She releases a big sigh staring at the ceiling.
"Can I really do this?" She mutters.
NEXT MORNING.
Sitting up on the bed, she stretches her arms out yawning widely at the same time.
Her hair was all messy and sticking out. She got down from the bed itching her messy hair.
"Uh?" She looks around.
"Ah right! This is not my room" She slapped herself mentally looking at her luggage which she left by the bedside the other night.
"I stink geez!" She smells herself.
"I should wash off first before anything" She got a towel and locked the door before going to the bathroom.
"Wow...so spacious" She grins admiring the beautiful interior.
"Wow...there's even a stereo here" She gushes turning it on. The music boomed out.
She sang along taking off her clothes and the bind tightly wrapped around her chest. She twirls to the bathtub and fills it up before getting into it.
"Hmm..." She moans closing her eyes.
Seconds later, she dipped herself whole into the water.
***
"Bin! You're back finally!!" Ash ran to him hugging him.
"What's with you? Fall off" Robin shrugged him off.
"I'm tired. Let's have our practice an hour late" he said heading upstairs.
"Bin! I've got a surprise for ya! It's in your room! You'll surely like it!!" Ash shouted after him as he went upstairs.
Robin got to his room and the first thing he did was to pull off his hoodie. He dived his finger into his hair and frowns when he noticed music sound booming from the bathroom.
But he shrugged it off yanking off the remaining clothes covering his nude. He got a towel, wrapped it around his waist and entered the bathroom not even noticing the luggage at his bedside.
He smiles when he saw the bathtub filled with soapy water.
"He calls this surprise tch!"
"At least he did something useful for once" He mutters looking at the stereo which music was booming out from. Within a swift, he yanked off his towel and got inside the bathtub.
Addison felt a presence and came out to surface only to see Robin with his eyes closed. He was resting back his head on the bathtub swirling his fingers as he enjoys the music.
"AHHHHH!!!" Addison yelled out making his eyes flew open instantly.
"HAAAA!!!" He yelled also on seeing a stranger in his bathtub.
"What are you!" He sprang up, his dick dangling right in front of her.
"AHHH!!!"
