"We're engaged!" Pete announced happily.
Everyone erupted into joyful cheers and congratulations except Chasity
to her the room seemed to go into a blur. Her ears were ringing. She
understood what she had just heard but she didn't believe. Rather her
heart wouldn't accept it.
"Everyone let's go celebrate at Angels and Kings." Travie suggested.
Chasity tried to fight back tears. She couldn't breath.
Everyone started piling out of the office to get in there cars to head
over to the club.
Chasity stood there for a minute unable to move, staring at the floor,
lost in her thoughts.
"Chasity?" someone said.
She looked up to see Ashlee's glowing face.
"Are you coming?" Ashlee asked expectantly.
"Um... no actually I have a bunch of work to do sorry but
congratulations." Chasity said putting on a fake smiling gently touching
Ashlee's arm hoping she didn't see right through to her pain before
rushing out of the room.
Crystal, Chasity's best friend was still inside of the office talking to her
boyfriend Charlie, who was Fall Out Boy's bodyguard. They were just
about to leave to join the others when Crystal thought she'd better go
talk to Chas first knowing fully well she was devastated but when she
looked over at Chas, she saw that Ashlee was talking to Chas and
before she could reach them Chasity was gone.
Chasity jumped into her red mustang put the car in drive and sped off
eager to get the hell away from there.
Chasity worked for Fall Out Boy, she handled a lot of there press and
media and she was also just around to help the boys with what ever they
might need.
She did love her job and it paid enough for her to live the life she wanted.
Of course it wasn't what she wanted to be doing she wanted to be a fashion
designer and author but when this oppurtunity came along she couldn't pass
it up. Fall Out Boy was her favorite band and her idols so yes working for
them was indeed a dream but it was a dream inside of her dream that she
never imagined. Over the course of the six years she had worked for them
she had also made a mistake of falling in love with the bassist Pete Wentz
even though she was positive he barely knew she existed. The rest of the
guys treated her like a sister but Pete always kept his distance. He always
had his girlfriends around and they consumed his focus. It always killed Chas
to see them but she never had a huge problem until a year and a half ago
when he started dating Ashlee Simpson. Chasity disliked her before she
even met her and it deepened after they had met even though Ashlee was
very fond of Chasity.Chasity always kept her feelings very well hidden, only
very few people knew of her feelings for Pete. So lately she had been
contemplating if the money was really worth going through the hell of seeing
Ashlee and Pete every day looking blissfully happy. She fought the urge to
throw up every time she saw them but she lived by her motto of, 'I was
here before her I'll be here after.'However now that seemed impossible. Her
worst nightmare had just come true.He was marrying her. The fake 23 year
old lip synching has been whose had more plastic sugery than a 50 year old
wealthy housewife. I mean the woman gets her lips pumped every three
weeks right after they deflate. Then she gets botox for her non existent
wrinkles. She looked different all the time Chas never knew how Pete found
her anywhere. Also she examined the fact that Ashlee's career was dead
and she was nowhere to be found, the tabloids didn't care about her or
anything until all of a sudden she starts going out with Pete and now she's
always in the spotlight.
"Bullshit!" Chasity muttered frustrated as she thought about all of this.
Tears started pouring down her cheeks.
This couldn't be happening how could such a genius like Pete be so stupid and
believe all of her bullshit?
By that time she had pulled up to the house that she shared with Crystal.
She went into the house and immediately went into her bathroom . She
changed out of her skinny jeans and a tight tee into a pair of shorts and a
big t-shirt. She went into the kitchen and got a energy vitamin water out
of the fridge and headed into the living room and turned on the tv hoping
to get them out of her mind. Even though her mind was racing with thoughts
of them. On the tv the E channel was on but it was a commercial. She
focused on the commercials happy to let them consume her thoughts. A
couple minutes later the show came back on it was E! News. The anchorman
came on and said,
"And now in our breaking news section. Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson
engaged? Yes everyone it has happen. Today Ashlee said in a statement..."
The rest of his sentence was lost as Chasity turned off the tv and threw the
remote down in a huff of fury.
"Ugg!!!!!" She screamed.
She went back into the kitchen and grabbed her medicine she swallowed her
pill, but her vitamin water back into the fridge and went into her bathroom.
She did her normal routine in the bathroom and then headed to bed. She
laid down in her bed and tried concentrating on anything but Pete to put her
to sleep but all she could think about was him and her and the engagement.
She couldn't control her emotions anymore she was all over the place and it
was boiling over. She just started crying her eyes out uncontrollably. She
ended up crying herself to sleep. She tossed and turned all night having
dreams about their wedding. When her alarm went off at 8:00am she
nearly threw it at the wall. She got up and showered, got dressed, did
her make-up, and then blow dried her hair. She didn't want to do any
of it she would have preferred to stay in bed all day but Fall Out Boy
had an appearance on Fuse's The Sauce at 10:00 and Chasity had to
be present. She poured herself a cup of coffee not being able to eat
anything. Then Crystal came walking out of her bedroom she had heard
Chasity crying last night. So when Chasity got out of the shower this
morning she figured she needed to get up and talk to her.
"Morning." Crystal said.
"Charlie still sleeping?" Chasity asked knowing that Charlie had most
likely slept over.
"Yeah, how are you doing, sis?" Crystal asked sitting down across from
Chasity.
"I'm fine. How are you?" Chasiy said unsuspecting.
"Don't ask about me. I'm talking about you. How are you doing? I seen
that you left right after the announcement." Crystal inquired.
"Of course I left did you really think I would stay and celebrate my
worst nightmare?" Chasity said even though she immediately regretted
saying it.
"I saw Ashlee by you before you left. What did she say to you?" Crystal
asked.
"She asked me if I was going with them?" Chasity said sadly.
"How do you deal with her? She thinks you're such a good friend of
hers, doesn't that drive you crazy?" Crystal questioned sorry for Chas.
"Yes, but what am I supposed to do if I'm mean to her I'll lose my job
especially now and I need my job. Anyways I gotta go sis or I'll be late."
Chasity said getting up and putting her cup in the sink.
"Alright bye sis I love you." Crystal said.
"Bye love ya too." Chasity said grabbing her tote bag and walking out of the
back door.
Chasity drove to the venue the guys were at. They were all still on the tour
bus and the van that would be driving them to the Fuse studios had just
arrived.
Chasity put on her bravest face before she got out of her car.
