an alarm rang and woke leslie up from her sleep. her eyes slowly opened searching for the source of the noise.
"les do you have work today?" his raspy voice asked.
"fuck fuck fuck" she hurried out of bed grabbing all of her belongings and rushing through the door.
nick sat on his bed in confusion. he thought she maybe had work but he thought she'd at least give him some sort of recognition. a loud knock on the hotel door broke his focus as he walked over to open it.
"sorry i forgot to say bye" leslie giggles before giving nick a kiss on the cheek and running back out to her car. __________________ twitter

prettymuch 2 more days until our show in the UK, who's ready? 😝 ____________________
"yo who brought these snacks?" austin yelled through the hotel suite.
"i think leslie brought it down with her last night" nick smiled at the thought of her.
"she was here?" austin questioned.
"you didn't hear the two dweebs giggling the whole fucking night?" zion rubbed his eyes.
"so what's the deal with her?" brandon asked nick.
"honestly, i have no idea. like everything about us is perfect, but the whole distance thing bugs her and i don't think she wants anything until we're finally in the same time zone" nick pursed his lips.
"i mean you could just stay here for the remaining 5 months she has" edwin teased.
"no cap, i would if i could"

nick the boys said thanks for the snacks
leslie you're welcome i knew you guys would need to eat like 24/7
nick what i need is to see you for more than 4 hours
leslie i have a job nick. and you do too, i mean it's not like you came here to hang out. you're here to work too.
nick yeah it's not like i made simon schedule us to do all this stuff in europe just so i could have a chance to see you.
leslie maybe me coming over last night was a mistake. i mean i still have a couple more months here and we shouldn't start something we can't finish.
nick maybe you're right.
________________ the boys had been stuck in rehearsals for 7 hours. practicing on the bigger stage was pretty nerve wracking, especially since they hadn't been to europe before.
"yo, ima hella hungry. can we go eat?" edwin rubbed his stomach.
"yeah let's call leslie and see if she wants to join us!" austin jumped with excitement.
"no point, she's busy" nick rolled his eyes.
"how do you know?" brandon gave nick a look.
"she's always busy" _________________ imessages group chat: austin, ed, brandon, z, les
aus soooooo
les uh-oh, a group chat with everyone except one of y'all is dangerous
z we just tryna figure out what you did to our boy nick.
ed yeah, he in his bag
brandon i think at this point he is the bag
les guysssss this isn't happening. i'm sorry he's simpin but nick and i just can't be anything right now.
ed why not les???
z yeah why not?
aus don't say distance bc long distance relationships can work
les not for everyone. and that's my problem. i need a job and currently that job wants me here in the UK. so unless you're willing to hire me so i'm around 24/7 then it's not happening.
brandon say less i'm on it!
les wait b , what are you doing? BRANDON REPLY someone better reply to me unless you all want to die!
________________ incoming facetime call brandon
"b, please tell me what's going on?" leslie whispered into her phone.
"chill out, why you so stressed girl?" the boy laughed closing his eyes almost completely. "anyways i called our management real quick and asked to hire an personal assistant, ya know like what you did for your uncle. anyways because you have experience already they approved the idea. on top of that if you wanna help produce music or anything you'd get a bonus and all that fun stuff"
"so what do you say?" edwin pokes out from the side of the camera.
"you're not fucking with me are you?" leslie's eyes became watery.
"hell no, now come over! you start right away" z yelled from outside the camera frame.
"yeah, but your lover boy doesn't know yet so keep it lowkey for now" brandon winked.
the call ended and leslie's mascara had run all over her face due to her tears of happiness. she was currently in a studio working with some lowkey artist who sucked terribly. unfortunately his parents had money and were paying for the label to sign him on.
"yo lauren, can we get this show on the road?" the man threw his hands in the air.
"first of all, my name is leslie. it's been leslie since i met you but apparently your brain doesn't have the capacity to remember. and secondly of all no." leslie smiled.
"excuse me?"
"you heard me, thanks for this opportunity, but your music sucks and no amount of money will ever fix that. i quit"
the man sat in shock as leslie walked out leaving him alone in the recording booth with his wack ass music. maybe this was a mistake, working for nick and the boys could put a hold on her career but she didn't care. she just wanted him.
