**3 weeks before**

"what part do you not get joel" the record label guys tell me as we all sit in a conference room negotiating

"why does it have to be me why can it not be one of the other guys or johann" i say as i try to process this

"it will only be for a couple of months...Look joel we know you like sara but right now its not the right time due to your career launching and emilias too so it would be the perfect timing to get the publicity needed for CNCO and for Emilia and its good marketing" one of the old guy told me as he tried explaining to me

"But why me" I say mad

"Because youre the closest one to her joel" they tell me

"But" i say but no words other than but come out of my mouth

"look joel we are looking at a 3 month period here you guys just have to hold hands and go out in public and act like a couple...Joel its just an act, We discussed it with her management team and the contract is set...Look we are not trying to be the bad guys but if you dont take the deal it can end CNCO" the representatives tell me taking out a pen and placing it at the contract infront of me

"3 months" i say looking at them

they nod

I pick up the pen and signed the contract

i feel like i just sold my soul to the devil

"now no one can know this is a publicity stunt" they tell me "so no contact with saraith for 2 months and that involves all of the guys" they scary guy tells me as we get up to exit the room

"wait you guys never mentioned this" clara and renato say to them

"its better that way to not risk anything" they tells us as the laugh

I feel my blood start boiling as i storm out of the building

how am i going to explain this to my princess

i fucked up, Joel...you fucked up (when doesnt he tho)

Joels P.O.V

Today was the first public appearance emilia and I are going to make as a "couple"

we are going to a club opening with johann and samantha and are going to make our "relationship public" and its killing me because i love sara

none of us have been able to contact her due to the contract and its really breaking me apart

"joel estas listo (joel are you ready)" emilia tells me as we arrive at the club

i nod my head and put on a fake smile as we step out of the car

"JOEL who is she.....JOEL over here.....JOEL" the paparazzi were trying to get our attention as i held on tight to emilia's waist

we enter the club and immediately the loud music shakes the floor as the bright color lights are flashing everywhere

"want a drink" emilia asks me as she asks me as heads to the bar

I nod my head and go to the table that was reserved for us

the music was blasting but my mind was focusing on her

"here" emilia hands me the drink and i drink it

after a couple drinks and dancing with emilia and i go sit down
