Working with them (Mikey Jimenez)

Live part 3

Mal's POV
Tonight is yet another live show! We're not performing this week but that's ok, we could probably use a break anyhow
"Morning Mal" Cara said coming into my room (yes we're back at the house)
"Why at 8:45?! That's way too early" I groaned
"What if I said there's a surprise downstairs" she smirked and that made me get up
I forgot I was in one of Mikey's tshirts I stole and some spandex
"What is this surprise you speak of or was it a troll just to get me out of bed" I joked
Then I saw Mikey, Jay, Marcus, and Miles with food and starbucks
"Oh my god" was all I said before I hugged Mikey
"We thought we would surprise you girls with breakfast before we had to go to rehearsals for tonight" Marcus said
"Well thanks guys, this is so sweet" I smiled
"When do we have to go" Jay asked
"I think you guys have to go now" Miles said
"Babe, good luck tonight, you are going to kill it, I know it" I told Mikey hugging him
"Thanks baby, you're the best" he said
I pecked his lips and he pouted
"What" I giggled
And then he brought me in for a longer kiss, like 15 seconds
"Oh got it" I realized
"Love you" he smiled as they all left
"Love you too Mikeeyeyyy" I sang and he chuckled as he closed the door
"We have to get to the meeting about our album though" Paris said and we rushed to my car to drive
The meetings were going to go until right before the live show starts at 5 and we're like 45 minutes away from the studio so it'll be tight
"Welcome ladies" our manager smiled as we got to the office with all our makeup on for the show and our hair done
"Hi" we smiled
"So I take it Boyband is literally right after these meetings" she asked us and we nodded
"So, how many songs are you talking for this album" she questions us
"Maybe like 12-14" Cara said
"That's a good amount. What is going to be the main single on there" Emma asks
"Can we have about 5 minutes to discuss that" Aubree asked
"Of course" Emma allowed us and we started talking
"What about Write On Me? It was literally the first to go platinum" I said
"That's true. So we call our album Write On Me then" Paris asked and we nodded
"We have decided on Write On Me since it was our first platinum single" Cara said proudly
"You sure about that" Emma smirked
We looked at each other confused and Emma showed us that it's actually double platinum now
"NO WAY" I exclaimed
"WAY" she replied
"Ok then that definitely settles it" Aubree teased and we laughed
"Have you girls written all the songs yet" Emma asked
"Almost we have about 2 songs left if we're gonna get 13" I said
"That is totally fine" Emma nodded "now lets talk about touring, who would you want to be your opener"
"How about the final boyband, they could use the exposure" I said
"I'm down for that" Emma nodded and the other girls agreed

After talking about some more stuff, it was eventually time to change and head to the live show
I changed into a cuter outfit this week (media) and we drove there
We arrived at 4:58 and we rushed backstage
"We made it" I huffed out of breath since we just sprinted
"Um you girls ok" Michael laughed
"We came from meetings and we rushed over here" I breathed
"Oh that makes sense" he shrugged and walked off
"Lets just sit down" Paris said and we sat down somewhere backstage
First was All In singing my fave song this week

Honestly Mikey smashed it, but they all did
"You know every movie needs a hero and do you know who our hero is" Nick started
"Who" Emma asked
"Chonce" Nick said "and I think there's someone in this audience whothinks you're their hero too, can we bring her up"
"No way" I whispered
And sure enough Brooklyn was brought on stage
"She's so cute" Aubree said
"I know right" Paris gasped
"Do you know the song" Rita cooed
"Do you know Moana.. she's shy" Chance laughed and she had to get brought down
"Mikey also you stepped up tonight, you took our advice and you smashed it well done man" Nick said
"Yay" I exclaimed under my breath
Then was Undivided and I had chills up my spine the entire time

"Wow" Cara said in shock
"Yeah" I said
And finally Leveled

"That was really good" I said
"Jichael reuniting was definitely my fave moment tonight" Paris said
"Oh 100%" Cara said
"Jay I was worried about you starting the song but I'm proud of you for trying. Please make Uncle Timbo proud and be the first beatboxer in a group" Timbaland explained

Now, who's in the bottom?
"Nick, who's in the bottom for All In" Rita asked
"This was the hardest decision we've ever had to make" Nick started and looked like he was going to cry "but the boy in the bottom.. is Mikey" he said
"I'm pissed" was all I said
"Who's in the bottom for Undivided" Rita asked Emma
"The boy in the bottom for Undivided.. Andrew Butcher" she said
I was a bit relieved since he's flirted with me in front of Mikey so yeah
"Who's in the bottom for Leveled" Rita questioned Tim
"The boy in the bottom for Leveled.. is Cam" Tim said
This sucks
"The first boy leaving.. is Andrew Butcher" Rita read

"The boy staying in this competition... is Mikey" Rita announced and I was reliever but his confidence is probably at an all time low now
The guys were all backstage and I decided to say my goodbyes to Butcher and Cam
"You both are really talented and will go far trust me. Don't stop what you're doing, ok" I told them and they nodded as I went over to Mikey and hugged him
"You ok" I asked rubbing his back
He shook his head no and it broke my heart
"You smashed it tonight , ok? Don't let what Nick say get to you, he just needs to realize he can't get rid of you ok" I told him and he nodded wiping a few tears away
We got back to the hotel and we went to his room straight away and he started crying again
"Are you thinking about what Nick said" I asked
He nodded and burried his face in my neck crying a little more
I started stroking his hair as he cried and it made me wanna cry but I didn't
"Don't let him destroy your confidence, ok. You are so talented, you just have to prove him wrong" I explained kissing his head
"I love you" he cried
"I love you too" I smiled as he eventually fell asleep
