One Year Later
Leah's Pov
"Leah, I need you to decide what label do you want to be on, so you can release your new album. "My manager demanded.
"Okay, fine but I want the Syco Records contract. "I huffed.
"Okay fine, but make sure you're really a 100% sure with you're decisions and let me asked you this question why out of all the record company that has been offered to you, why did you choose Syco even though there are much better than that label? Like Columbia Records. "He adds.
I just frown at him.
"Oh, let me guess this is your revenge for your ex, isn't it?" He half laughs.
I just rolled my eyes at him.
"See, I am right! But you need to move on, babe. You can't live like this forever. "He reminds.
I snorted.
You can't tell me what to do bitch!
Well as you see after Harry tossed me aside, I decided to use my own talent to show him what's his been missing and also for a revenge.
I seek for Revenge!
Do you have any idea what I have been through after what he did? And how I become FAMOUS?
🔶🔷🔶🔷Flashback 🔶🔷🔶🔷
After Harry kicked me out of our shared apartment.
I was left homeless in the middle of the dark alley. I didn't know where to go.
I don't have any relatives here in London because I'm originally from Norway and I've got no friends, I mean I have friends but obviously they are all Harry's friends too and I don't want to ask for help to any of them because I know as long as they are related to Harry I would end up back to him, again.
I need to teach him a lesson.
He needs to learn from his mistakes.
After I gave up everything for him, he gave me nothing instead I am here in this dark alley, shivering from the cold airy night, homeless. I sat on the ground hugging my knees, hoping that it could help me produce a heat so I won't freeze to death.
My mouth suddenly started to hum a song until I didn't even noticed that I am singing all along.
I pour all my heart out, hoping that atleast it could decrease the pain that I am feeling inside.
Singing is sort of my therapy when I am not feeling good or depressed and sometimes hapoy, so I mostly sing when I am sad. I let my mouth sing its own lyrics, to let all the pain go.
(let's just pretend that Leah wrote this song instead of the Little Mix)
I am the diamond you left in the dust
I am the future you lost in the past
Seems like I never compared
Wouldn't notice if I disappeared
You stole the love that I saved for myself
And I watched you give it to somebody else
But these scars no longer I hide
I found the light you shut inside
Couldn't love me if you tried
Am I still not good enough?
Am I still not worth that much?
I'm sorry for the way my life turned out
Sorry for the smile I'm wearing now
Guess I'm still not good enough
I stopped singing when I realized that I have an audience. He just gave me a thumbs up before encouraging me to go on and keep singing.
Does it burn
Knowing I used all the pain?
Does it hurt
Knowing you're fuel to my flame?
Don't look back
Don't need your regrets
Thank God you left my love behind
Couldn't change me if you tried
Am I still not good enough?
Am I still not worth that much?
I'm sorry for the way my life turned out
Sorry for the smile I'm wearing now
Guess I'm still not good enough
Release your curse
'Cause I know my worth
Those wounds you made are gone
You ain't seen nothing yet
Your love wore thin
And I never win
You want the best
So sorry that's clearly not me
This is all I can be
Am I still not good enough?
Am I still not worth that much?
I'm sorry for the way my life turned out
Sorry for the smile I'm wearing now
Guess I'm still not good enough
"Wow! That was a good one, you got there..." He trailed off looking at me, giving me look.
"Oh, I'm Leah." I introduced myself, standing up from where I sat to shake my hands with him.
"And I'm Jeff. I'm a manager, I make talented people like you to be famous." He boasted as he shaked his hand with mine.
I give him an unconvinced look.
"Oh, don't judge the book by it's cover Leah, you don't even know what is inside in it, you don't know it might actually help you. "He said seriously.
"I didn't mean that way, I just can't believe that you are actually a manager, like what are you even doing here?" I asked curiously.
"Well, I went to a party and I got bored so I went to take a walk for a while but then I got lost, I don't know where I am, I didn't even noticed how far I've gone until I heard you're heavenly voice. I really thought it was Ariana Grande for a while. "He attempted to joke the last part to ease the awkward silence.
"Thanks, I guess I never thought that you actually like my voice, I mean I'm pretty bad for sure, I don't even know what I'm talking about right now." I ramble awkwardly.
He let out a chuckle at my reaction.
"Well, no need to thank me. You know I can make you a famous popstar, if you want me to. And besides you have a very great voice, like your voice is a killer one. And also if your willing to face paparazzi everyday in your life of course, bombarding you, following you, stalking you and everything just to have a photo of you, then your are qualified for me to sign you up." He suggested.
"OFMG! Really? You want me to become famous? "I asked hyperventilating.
"If only you want me to." He said smugly.
"Then that's a deal. "I replied with hesitation.
"Deal. "As we shook our hands once again, indicating that I agreed on his offer.
"Wait a minute! I think I saw you from somewhere. "He suddenly exclaimed making me jump a bit.
"You're dating Harry Styles, Don't you? "He asked pointing me.
"Uhm, yeah but actually I'm his Ex now. He broke up with me a couple of hours ago." I revealed awkwardly.
Well, what? Its technically Awkward because we just broke up a couple of hours ago so it's a sensitive topic for me right now, So...
"I didn't know Harry Styles' Ex-girlfriend is such a talented girl. " He praises me.
"Nah." I snorted accidentally.
"You're cute." He compliments.
"Thanks. "I sheepishly said, with my cheeks flushes in embarrassment.
"So? This is all settled then, but you have to fly to Los angeles for the signing of the contract. "He informed.
"Sure, but when? "I asked.
"Two days from now, and don't worry about the plane tickets because I have a private jet. " he adds while I give him a nod.
"Here, this is my number. If you need me just ring me, babe." He said handing me his calling card before he went off.
End of Flashback!
"Leah, I have some good news and a bad news for you. "I heard my manager squeals.
"What is it? "I asked not looking at his exaggerated facial expression.
To inform you all, he can be Overreacting sometimes not, but always.
"What do you want to hear first?" He asked wriggling his eyebrows at me.
"Good." I am really tired of hearing some bullshit rumours about me, so I need some positive outcome.
"Well, you've been nominated for the best music video of the year, best music break up song category and female popstar of the year. And not only that you've been nominated in both Brits Award and TCA." He cheered proudly.
"Oh my god! No way! No way! I can't believe it!" I ran up to him and pulled him for a bone crushing hug.
"You did it, girl. "He said smiling ear to ear in happiness.
"No, we did it! Because if you ain't here in the first place I wouldn't be here right now, Thank you so much, Jeff" I thanked him.
"Hey! Don't call me that. How many times am I supposed to tell ya that I changed my name into Mariah Jennah Walker. "He says proudly.
"Oh sorry about that, it's just that I can't believe any of this." I said in awe.
"Well, you better get ready for the bad news. "He warned, struggling on containing his laugh.
"You and Harry got nominated for the cutest love team category and for the cutest shipname category. "He claps his hands teasingly.
"What? "I exclaimed dumbfounded.
"Don't be so surprised, well this actually started as a joke but then many directioners voted so I think you two will win that award. "He stated confidently, twerking his butt before he went off leaving me with my thoughts.
And oh, by the way manager Jeff is a gay. Can you believe it?
