It was no secret that they were all growing in time. Learning new things as they kept on going. Living their dreams, surviving...
Harry didn't know that celebrity's managers had it that hard before or maybe because he was not just a manager to the crew.
Searching for a good photographer who can capture the theme like nobody else in the industry at the lowest price of them all, costume designers and fashion geeks, make up artists... He had to know a lot of people.
"I'm only doing this because it's your ass that's begging here" Said Najma eyeing the empty stage with Harry.
"Yeah yeah, whatever" Said Harry with a dismissive wave, "So, will you be here for their performance?"
"Like I'd miss seeing my clothes up on the stage!" Exclaimed Najma like Harry was crazy for even thinking that she won't.
"Now that we are done with that, what's next?" Asked Tatiana filling her to do list pad before looking at Harry seriously. Harry had to ask his group members for support on the event since he was far from being enough with all that was going on.
"How is their ad coming along?" Asked Harry instead still eyes not leaving the stage.
"Beautifully!" Replied Tatiana excitedly, "You did say not to show their faces, right?"
"I want the crowd to get hooked before the forever never ending thirst to see them" Said Harry thoughtfully.
"Jeez, you're so good at this" Said Najma patting Harry's shoulder.
"I hope you're right" Said Harry before sighing, "He deserves the universe and everything great in it"
"Your boyfriend" Stated Tatiana pointing at the vocalist who was clearly avoiding him for four days straight.
"We all do" Said Harry turning to look at Tatiana, "This show will be our first... performing to this big audience with so much expectations. Too much pressure... It's new"
"So, it's like a debut?" Asked Najma taking the venue and everything like it was her first time there.
"It's more like a baptism" Said Harry teasingly making the girls laugh.
"Everything will be okay... Just like our project" Said Tatiana back hugging Harry, "It's you as their manager anyway. They should consider themselves blessed"
"Thank you" Said Harry relaxing more into the hug, "Really. Thank you"
....This is not a fighting song,
It's not a guide to do no wrongs,
I learned as I tried,
I lived as I died,
You can't tell me shi*, when you realize this is not your life homie.
It all started from voices in my head,
My demon was my own bed,
I had to take that first step,
I had to run to get ahead,
The vision was only mine but, I'm making it for the most of us.
Don't forget me in a song, (Remember me in your world)
Exactly where I belong, (Exactly where I belong)
Not in your phones,
When you chill,
Or getting a good vibe.
I'm more than just a word, (I'm more than just a word)
I'm like the fire to your cold, (The fire to your cold)
I'm always here,
Achieving dreams,
Making my soul smile.
Who cares what the haters think?....
"Your guy is really good" Commented Sayeed blocking Harry's view to the stage who pushed him aside in annoyance so he could gawk at his guy some more, "Oh my God! Are you seriously eye licking that guy's sweat?"
"Lucky thought, don't you agree?" Replied Harry when it was clear that Sayeed was going nowhere.
"That's nasty" Said Sayeed with a laugh coming to stand beside Harry.
"What?" Asked Harry curiously.
"So, what's your plan?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are going to take that ATG offer?" Asked Sayeed dejectedly, "Or will you settle for being their manager? We all know that you can't do both"
"Honestly? I wish I could postpone the decision until I can't anymore"
"I don't want to force you or anything but, I need that job. I need to secure my future and support my family. I need you to accept the offer"
"It's not that easy"
"I know. I mean I can feel your attachment to them from miles away but, think about us too. Where we're going to end up when everything said is done"
"Please, I need more time"
"What for?"
"Any decision I make now, I'll live with it for the rest of my life. On one side I'd be betraying the only family I have and on the other, it's my friends whose entire life depends on me" Said Harry feeling the tears falling, "It's hard"
He couldn't help it. He loved them equally and the demand for him to choose only one, shredde him to pieces.
