The Muse ~ Chapter 17 - @blackknight - @hannahXOX - - - - Zach hid under his duvet, he'd been there for several days, not wanting to move, not wanting to think. He and Shanea had moved into the Muse house, a flat in downtown London, bought by Simon, when he thought they were going to win, but even though they didn't he gave them the apartment anyway. So we're now at present day: Shanea is bustling around, making sure everyone is eating, sleeping, and drinking properly, she's keeping the press away and basically being superwoman. Which just leaves Blake, Harry, Derek, and .. Zach. The one who is probably having the worst time with all of this. They're all curled up underneath their duvets, Blake had slept with several different girls over the past few nights, just to drown his own sorrows. Self indulgence. The phone quickly let out three rings and Shanea answered it, "GUYS IT'S SI!" She shouted across the house, they all frowned and shouted at once, "What does he want?" Shanea waved her hand off at them, and sat at the breakfast bar on a stool, "No I'm fine thank you Simon, sorry they really don't want to talk right now.. Is there a message I can give them?" She spoke quietly, chipping at her pink-polished nails. "Yes, actually, I would like to sign them to my record company," he paused, and Shanea screamed with delight. Causing all the boys to run into the kitchen/den, all but Derek were only wearing gingham pijama bottoms, and Derek was wearing a top aswell. They mouthed what, well some of them did, Harry and Zach cursed under there breath. "You'd like to sign them to your record company? Yes I will tell them." She said loudly, the boys jumped up and down, smiles spread across their faces. "I'd like to set up a meeting, when are they next free?" He spoke clearly. "Well they've got a few talk shows/interviews coming up but.. They could come round in about ten minutes?" I said, shooing them off to get freshened up&dressed. "Okay darling, ciao." He hung up.
