Chapter8-Good Girl Goes Bad

April 14th, 2011

 It's a few weeks later. Ever since the photos of Andrew and Brandon kissing surfaced, Andrew came out as bisexual. He and Brandon came out as a couple. The Andrew fans were split. They wanted him to stay with Alyson, whereas others were turned on by him playing both sides. On top of that, he gained a bunch of new fans.

 But the group most worried were 7th Anthem's PR people and marketing team. They knew Andyson was one of the most popular, and the most banked-on, couple in the teen music industry. After Andrew came out, there was a lot of money on the line. They tried to convince him and Alyson to get back together, but Alyson refused. Andrew was heartbroken to hear her say that. But they both agreed that they don't want to be money-making machines. Knowing how persuasive the two were, they backed away.

 In the meantime, Melissa was on her office computer, looking at recent photos of Brandrew (Brandon/Andrew). She gave a half-satisfied smile. She knew that Andrew was bi, which meant that he'll very likely go back with Alyson. But at the moment, he's gay for Brandon.

 Just then, Ethan entered her office. She saw him, and asked, "Don't you have a tour with The OutLaws?"

 He replied, "We wrapped it up in January, remember? We have a recording session this afternoon for our second album."

 "That's right. I forgot."

 "Anyway, we need to talk about what our next step is."

 "Well, we can't make Andrew gay. He may not show it now, but he's still in love with her. But for now, let's enjoy his moment with his first boyfriend."

 "So which couple do we break up next?"

 "Bailstin. They're now the most popular couple of that band."

 Ethan sat down on a chair, and thought for a moment. Then he asked, "What can we do to break them up?"

 "Well, here's what I know about Justin. He used to date Alyson. She would gush about dating a British guy, as she was a big S Club 8 fan then. But he seemed mysterious. I mean, he's nice, but he's very much kept to himself."

 "I know. Justin is not a very open person. He wasn't a jerk like Andrew, but you couldn't quite figure him out."

 "Now Bailey is a different story. Me and Alyson met her at a church when they were both 4. It turned out they were from the same area. Bailey is a very nice, sweet person. She was always there for her best friend. Of course, she would get tired of hearing Alyson gushing over Andrew. She didn't even like being popular. But what are best friends for?"

 Ethan then started thinking again, and asked, "So you could say that Bailey is a good girl? And that Justin might be a bad boy?"

 Melissa gave a sly smile as she said, "I never thought of them like that. So we need to expose Justin, and shatter Bailey's image."

 It's about an hour later. 7A just finished a photo shoot for their up-coming album, The Anthem. As they were getting ready to leave the studio, they were met with Melissa. Alyson approached her, and asked angrily, "What the f*ck are you doing here? Checking to see if I'm heartbroken over Hawthorne? Well, guess what? I'm fine!"

 Andrew rolled his eyes. Melissa ignored him, and said, "I'm not here for you, bitch. I'm here for Bailey."

 Bailey was surprised. She asked, "Why me?"

 "I just need to talk to you."

 Bailey nodded her head, and they both went to a dressing room. Alyson said bitterly, "Why does that bitch need to talk to my bestie?"

 Andrew, feeling sorry for her, put his hands on her shoulders. She brushed him off. He asked her with irritation in his voice, "How long are gonna be mad at me?"

 Alyson turned, and said, "I'm not mad, Andrew. How can I be when my own boyfriend has his boyfriend? It's one thing to cheat on me with another girl. But sleeping with a guy? Do you know how embarrassed I felt? People think I turned you gay."

 "Alyson, I'm not gay. I'm bi. I still love you. And I mean more than a friend."

 "Oh, now you want me back?"

 Andrew stared at her with sadness in his blue eyes. He said quietly, "I do love you, and I always will. I'm willing to leave Brandon for you. But if you can't let me back into your life, then I'm staying with him."

 Then he walked out of the studio. Alyson watched. She gave a blank expression as she tried to hold back tears.

 At the same time, Bailey asked, "So, what do you want to tell me?"

 Melissa replied bluntly, "You're a good girl."

 "Okay. So?"

 "Well, you've been a good girl your entire life. You're what? 22? It's time for you to break out and go crazy."

 Bailey nervously laughed, "Um, I'm good. I think partying is overrated. You can thank Jersey Shore for ruining it for me."

 Melissa pressed on, "I can see you being the next Snooki or JWoww."

 "No thank you."

 "Fine. Be a boring blondie your entire life."

 Then Melissa stormed out of the dressing room, and in came Justin. He asked her, "Is everything okay?"

 Bailey was annoyed with Melissa, so she said impulsively, "I wanna go to a club tonight. With you."

 Justin's eyes widen. He was surprised to hear her say that. He knew she wasn't much into partying. So he asked, "Why? I thought you weren't into clubbing."

 "Well, now I want to."

 Justin thought for a moment, and then said, "I think I'll stay home. We have a several gigs this weekend."

 Bailey pouted.

 It's now evening. Libby was getting ready to go to clubbing. Even though Amanda is the designated driver, she's also clubbing. Bailey approached the two girls, and asked, "Can I go with you? Justin wants to stay home."

 Libby grinned, and said, "Invite Alyson, and we'll have a girls' night out."

 Bailey smiled, and went to Alyson's room. She asked Alyson, "Hey Aly, wanna go clubbing with Libby and Amanda?"

 Alyson looked at her weirdly, and asked, "You? Clubbing? Why?"

 "Why not? It's something different."

 Alyson stared at her, and said, "I'm not much in a partying mood. Besides, I have to act like I'm 'cool' with Andrew having a boyfriend. If I party like I'm of those Jersey Shore assholes, the media will say that I'm spiraling out of control over Andrew."

 "So, act like you're celebrating your new single life."

 Alyson thought for a moment, and reluctantly agreed. Soon, all four girls were at a posh nightclub. Libby drank the night away as the rest of the girls remained sober at the bar.

 Then Libby slurred to them, "C'mon, get f*cking drunk!"

 The girls refused, but she pressed on. So Bailey ordered a shot...or five. Soon, she was drunk. Alyson only sipped one martini, and Amanda stayed sober. Both Libby and Bailey partied hard by getting wasted and dancing with random guys. What all the girls don't know is that they're being watched...by Melissa and Ethan!

 It's now the next morning. Bailey woke up to her head pounding. She looked around, and didn't recognize the room. Then she saw that she in her underwear and bra. She became nervous as she felt another body next to her. She pulled down the cover, and saw another guy!

 Bailey became scared. She realized she cheated on Justin. She got up, and went straight for her purse. She was relieved to know her phone was in there. She texted Libby to pick her up.

 Before she knew it, she saw Libby enter the bedroom. She was also in her bra and underwear. She whispered to Bailey, "Don't worry. You didn't sleep with him. I did, but you wanted to someplace to sleep. So you laid in his bed. He thought you were me, so you both almost had sex, but you fell asleep before you did it."

 Bailey was somewhat relieved, but she was still freaking out. So she said, "I need to get out of here. Justin is probably worried for me."

 "Then let's go home."

 So the two girls grabbed their clothes, and left what was a hotel. When they arrived at the 7A condo, they saw on their phones that it was noon. Luckily, they had a performance on a late night show.

 They tried to sneak in, but they already caught. Amanda approached them, and asked angrily, "Where the hell did you two go? Alyson and I waited for hours!"

 As Bailey was about to speak, Libby said, "We're really sorry. We fell asleep in the lounge room."

 Bailey gave an awkward smile, and glanced at Justin. He didn't look to thrilled. In fact, he looked like he was questioning Bailey. Could this put a strain on Bailstin?
