Chapter 31: Reality TV Show

Chapter 31: Reality TV Show
I love watch reality tv show, and I always wanted to be apart of it. I mean I was on Married to Jonas but I was barely on it. I want like my own show like Keeping Up With The Kardashian.

Well that dream might finally happened, because I got a call from Ryan Seacrest who wants me to come down to LA to talk about a reality show for me on e-news. Apparently I've gotten a lot of request from Jonas Fans that wants to know more about who I am.

I don't know how I'm gonna bring this up to my dad, since he's basically my Dadager and he doesn't want me in the spotlight, he wants me to have a normal life as much as possible.

But how can that happen when I grew up with rockstars brothers!

Nick was visiting us, so I can't mention this in front of him, because both Joe and him were both against reality show. Kevin would agree because he loves being on tv. But Ryan needs an answer by Monday so he can pay for my flight and stuff to come to LA next Saturday since I can't miss school.

I walked into the family room and found Nick and Dad talking on the couch.

Melissa: dad... can I talk to you... alone...

I said eyeing Nick, and Nick looked confused and I ignore him looking at me and he said.

Nick: why don't you want me to hear?
Melissa: because it's business, involving my manager not my brother, *looks at dad* and before you turn it down, like I know you will. Please hear me out
Nick: anything you say involving media, I have to be involved in it
Melissa: no you don't
Dad: I'm afraid he does, I made a deal with your brothers since I'm busy managing other people as well while running the restaurant, that they agreed to help me out with managing you since they live in LA themselves and have to bring you to those meetings
Melissa: that's so unfair, you didn't even consult me with this!
Dad: you're a minor, you have no say until you turn 18
Melissa: but that's in 4 years!
Dad: I guess you have to wait 4 years to start making your own decisions. Right now, your decisions are base on us
Melissa: you guys are basically controlling me *cross arm annoyed*
Dad: you don't know the idea of what it's like in the industry. That's why I try my best to keep you as normal as possible. When you were younger and your mother booked you in stuff, you barely had time to be a kid. I didn't like how stressed you were being letting dance take over your life. I wanted to shut it down but your mother said I had no business because I wasn't your father
Melissa: but you're still not
Dad: I signed the papers didn't I? Therefore you're legally mine and I get to make the decisions that's will affect your childhood
Melissa: well then I guess I already know the answer to this one...
Dad: *sighs* what is it Melissa?

I looked at Nick then back at dad and just went out with it.

Melissa: Ryan Seacrest called me today and hint me up with a reality show... now before you guys say no. Please hear me out

Dad and Nick looked at each other and Dad said looking at me.

Dad: alright, we are listening
Melissa: so it's a reality show base on my life, because fans wants to know more about me
Dad: I don't know Mel, the guys and I are gonna have to think this one over
Melissa: well Ryan needs an answer by Monday to set up a meeting on Saturday
Dad: this Saturday? I'm sorry sweetheart I already made plans with the other people I'm managing
Melissa: but I'm your daughter, can't you have someone else do that
Dad: I'm sorry sweetheart
Melissa: what type of Dadager are you?? If you can't be there for me all the time
Dad: sweetheart, you have to understand that I run a company and have to manage other people too, not just you
Melissa: but you never turned them down, only me! Because you never wanted this for me
Dad: you're not the only person I have turned down, it may look like bad business. But your childhood means everything to me
Melissa: *mumbles* I hate you...
Dad: excuse me?
Melissa: I... hate... you!
Dad: *glares at me* I heard you the first time little girl, and now my mind is made up. You're not doing this reality show
Melissa: whatever, it's not like you were gonna let me go anyways
Dad: grounded
Melissa: w-what?
Dad: you heard me, your attitude sucks and you need a reality check

I glared at him and he glared right back. I "ugh!" and nvm stomped out of the room and headed up the stairs to my bedroom door and slammed it. I excepted him to come up here to yell at me about slamming doors but Nick came up instead.

Melissa: *pouting* what...
Nick: hey, you're the one that push dad buttons not me
Melissa: so what? Are you here to rub it in?
Nick: no you need to chill out with dad, he was only doing this to protect you
Melissa: no he's controlling me. This isn't fair! Mom and dad let you guys become rockstar, why is it different with me?
Nick: well to be fair we didn't really have a choice. Sure it was our dream, but our family was struggling back then. Dad lost his job because of us and we had to book more shows to help out the family
Melissa: I didn't know that...
Nick: thats because you were just born when we gotten a record deal, you basically grew up in the lime light. That's why he is so hard on you all the time about living a normal life as much as possible. He wants that for both you and Frankie since we never got that
Melissa: I understand what dad is saying, but I don't care. I'm ready for this commitment even if I have to leave my friends/school
Nick: *sighs* just think about it Melissa

I pouted and he kiss the top of my forehead and said before leaving the room.

Nick: and no slamming doors, keep door open
Melissa: *roll eyes* yes dadddddd

Nick rolled his eyes and walked out and I sigh and flopped back on my bed and think.

The next day at school.

Harley: so... what did your dad say when you told him?
Melissa: I opened my big mouth and argued back at him. He was gonna think about it, but now I ruined my chance. He grounded me for my attitude and told me I need to get a reality check
Harley: wow...
Gia: wow I would have told him to eat my ass
Melissa: do you want me to get killed???Harley: you're supposed to be getting a call from Ryan today, what are you gonna do?
Melissa: I don't know, unless some miracle happens, I can't fly to La by myself without a manager
Gia: get yourself a new manager
Melissa: with what money?
Gia: aren't you rich?
Melissa: Not really, all the money goes to my brothers and I would have to ask them for permission
Harley: what about your YouTube money?
Melissa: oh yeah... wait... my brothers won't let me touch my bank account until I'm 18
Gia: wow, your family is strict
Melissa: well they had to be strict because I lost their trust, and now I have to earn their trust back and it's slowly getting their.
Harley: what about your allowance that you been saving up?
Melissa: no way! That's my life savings for when I get out of the house.
Harley: when you become famous you can pay for your own house
Melissa: oh yeah, that's true. But how am I gonna get a manager on such short noticed without my parents finding out?
Gia: how did your brothers get one?
Melissa: Nick was discovered at a barbershop
Harley: well then I guess we know what you're doing after school
Melissa: what get discovered at the barbershop?
Harley: no! you're gonna get discovered at the mall. Im sure there's lot of manager lurking around
Gia: in a small town in Belmont, North Carolina? Get real...
Harley: do paps still follows you around?
Melissa: most times, my dad had to get them lost so they wouldn't follow me to school this morning
Harley: okay, we are gonna try to get a paparazzi to notice you at the mall, so while they film it will be all over the internet and bet you will have a new manager by Saturday
Melissa: how are we gonna do this, without my brothers finding out everything on the internet?
Harley: will just hope for the best!

Just then Ryan number came on the screen and I said to the girls.

Melissa: it's Ryan... what do I say?
Harley: say yes and that your parents agreed
Melissa: you want me to lie to Ryan?

Harley gave me the girl please look and I sigh and I answered the phone and Ryan asked if I had made the decision and I agreed and he send he will be sending me the flight information and hotel reservation and to be prepared for the meeting on Saturday.

Melissa: *hangs up*
Harley: well?
Melissa: he went for it. He promise not to say anything until I actually go through with it
Gia: I can't believe you're actually going through with this
Melissa: I know, I'm so scared, what should I perform at the mall
Harley: what you do best, dance
Melissa: I haven't dance in ages
Harley: don't worry you will do amazing, and we will be your supporters, right Gia?
Gia: right
Melissa: okay, I'll try. Thanks for pushing me to do this guys
Harley: of course, it's what friends are for
Melissa: and I have the best ones

I hug them both and the warning bell rang and the 3 of us started making our way to class and I couldn't wait to perform at the mall and hopefully get discovered.
