Stole My Heart (On Hold)

Hypocrite

"What do I look like to you Simon ? Some kind of rag doll that you can just tell what to do ? I'd understand if you hired an actor for this stupid charade that you're trying to pull off but me, you're asking me of all people? Need I remind you that i'm your god daughter for petes sake. This whole thing is low, even for you Simon. You can't just get someone to be this boy's fake girlfriend without him even knowing about it. I understand that he may be going through some struggles and giving you a hard time but you have no right to do this. You know, Dad would have been disappointed that you even asked me to do this." I practically yelled at Simon.

I was completely and utterly exasperated that Simon wanted to hire someone to be a 'fake girlfriend', I was even more shocked that he wanted me to do it. I've know Simon my whole life, ever since I could walk I was in his studios, making a mess and belting out random song lyrics. I'll be the first to admit that Simon has done some really crazy things to his artists but this is just down right mean.  Who does that to someone, pretends they like them then turns around and dumps them, it’s pathetic. 

"Brooklyn Adelaide Davis don't you dare bring you're father into this. He trusted me enough to put me in charge of you when he left and you and I both know I wouldn't have asked you to do this if I wasn't 100% sure that you were safe. Brooke, all I need for you to do is date him for 2 month's or so. Keep him out of trouble and show everyone that he is capable of being in a committed relationship. I need for you to do this for me. He needs someone like you to fix him Brooky. " I chuckled to myself as I heard Simon say the last sentance. Little did Simon know that I was the one that needed to be fixed. How was someone as fucked up as me supposed to help someone else deal with their problems ?

"Are you kidding me Simon ?! You know me better then to think I would ever hurt anyone purposely after everything I’ve been through the past couple of years. I’m not going to be the one to hurt someone. You shouldn’t expect me just do anything you want, I have my own life and my own problems to deal with. You can't just expect me to sit around and baby sit this boy and the rest of his stupid band mates." I responded. I could literally feel the anger rising in my body as Simon continued. 

"Listen Bee, I know this isn't exactly what something that you would even consider doing but this could really help you get noticed with your music. I promise you that if you go through with this whole idea, i'll help you record your demo's and get signed by the label. This could really help jump start your career if you're already famous for being the girl that dated Harry Styles. Plus you need the money and I am going to pay you for this. I don't want you to just be Harry's fake girlfriend. I would need for you to become they're manager while on tour, you'd be responsible for getting them to all the interviews, photoshoots, soundchecks and you'd be with them during the world tour." Simon retorted.

The second he mentioned a record deal, I was hooked. 

Since I was a little girl I had been singing. My dad was one of Simon's partners and he helped find new talents and get them signed. For as long as I can remember, I'd been sitting in studios listening to new artists record they're albums and I'd dreamt of being them. My dad always told me that i'd make it big, that one day i'd have my own head line tour and he'd be standing there right beside me. Since my mom was a music teacher, I knew how to play a majority of instruments and my voice was trained professionally. After my parents passed away, I completely stopped doing anything that was related to music. 

Around 7 months ago, I was cleaning through my CD's and I came across one my Beatles CD's that my parents had gotten for me on my 16th birthday. I flipped the CD open and read the small note that my parents wrote for me. 

Dear Brooklyn, 

I hope that this CD gives you the same kind of hope that it gave me when I first listened to it. I know without a doubt in my mind that one day you'll be just as amazing as the Beatles and I'll be right there next to you, the proudest dad in the world. Brooke, you have a gift and you should never let it go to waste, chase after your dreams with every ounce of fight in you and never give up on yourself. I promise you that one day it'll be us two, standing in the middle of the 02 arena before you perform and in that moment, you'll have known you've made it big. whether its in this lifetime or the next, i'll be standing right next to you in arena. Never stop dreaming Brooklyn Adelaide Davis, you're going to go far in life. 

Happy Birthday Babygirl. 

Love, Mom and Dad. 

- but mostly dad. (;

After reading that letter I'd picked up my guitar and started singing again. For the past 7 months I've been trying everything to get a record deal but everytime I approach them, theres soming missing. They tell me that my voice is great and that my lyrics speak to people but apparently I didnt have the right 'image'. Just because I wasn't a size zero and I didnt look like every typical girl, they wouldn't give me a chance. It wasn't exactly easy for me to except that after everything that i'd gone through in the past couple of months after my parents died. At this point I was desperate to get a record deal.

"Even if I do go through with this Simon, there's no guarentee that this Harry kid will even like me. Maybe he'll think I'm some crazy fan or maybe his band mates will hate me. How am I even supposed to get close to the boy ? Its not like I can just go up to him and say  'oh hey, yeah i'm you're new girlfriend'. Do you understand how mad this whole idea is Simon ?" I blurted out. Saying that I was stubborn was an understatement. I am determined to show Uncle Si that there is no way that this stupid idea is going to work. 

"Brooklyn, just say yes and i'll figure everything out for you. All I'm asking for is for you to give this a chance. I promise you you'll get paid and that this will help you get signed. Please, just give Harry a chance. He may be rough on the edges but he's a good kid and I need you to bring him back down to earth Brooke. I can't think of anyone else that would be able to do this better than you. You're funny and down to earth yet you're not afraid to put someone in their place and I need that. In my eyes, your dad would have just seen this as 'taking the upper hand for your career', just like he always used to say." I let all of Simons words sink in as I though of an answer. 

You can't possible be considering this Brooke, A voice in the back of my mind was saying. 2 months of pretending to date a guy, going on a world tour and dealing with crazy fangirls. You'd have to be crazy to do this. I literally spend the past 20 minutes arguing about how this was a shallow idea yet here i was pondering the ideo of accepting.

" I'll do it. But I swear Simon, if I end up getting hurt, I'm never speaking to you again." I said as a stern look appeared on my face. 

I was such a hypocrite.
