Michael's point of view

It's been a very long time since I was wearing a suit... I think the last time was at Rex's... No that's not think about that now. remember you've got to be strong. This is your first day on your new job.

I just need to make sure I look sharp I don't want it to look shabby in front of my new bosses.

I look pretty good straightening my tie making sure that's nothing is crinkled but I still just keep staring at the mirror... I feel like I'm looking at Mark again no I'm not it's just a reflection of me I know this but it bothers me how similar we look it didn't bother me before...

When we were kids, we would do a magic show where we would pretend that one of would go behind a curtain and the other one that was hiding would burst out surprising the audience it only worked on people who didn't know that we were twins... still mom and dad always made the effort to act surprised

simpler times the memory of us all together happily flashed through my mind and I get a brief moment of joy until the memory of what happened to our family flashes through my head

I open my eyes and shake it off. I can't afford to look weak... That is the one thing I cannot do. I have to be strong. I have to be...

I hear the door open and I turned towards it to see Bobby: okay Michael let's get you introduced to the... Are you okay?

I look at him confused and that's when I realise a single tear came from my eyes. I wipe it away and shake my head: yeah I'm fine I just... The last time I wore a suit was at a friend funeral wearing this just kinda brought up some memories

Bobby accepts that answer and nod: oh I'm so sorry were you in this friend close

I chuckle at the memory of Rex: not always he was annoying arrogant and so stupid sometimes that I just wanted to strangle him... But after a while we became friends more than that... He was like a brother to me

Bobby: ... I understand the girls are like family to me I can't imagine losing one of them... Speaking of which I think it's time you became acquainted they're here

I nodded as I readjust myself trying to give off an the perception of a professional bodyguard as I follow Bobby out of the room to meet my new bosses

Bobby: listen if this is too much for you you can try again tomorrow. It's no problem.

I shake my head: no it's fine. I just... I've experienced so much loss lately I really need to win

Bobby: well alright then but only if you're sure

He then led me to awaiting room and their standing there was three young women the ones I saw on the billboard the popstar band hunthix

Rumi the lead singer

Zoey the rapper and songwriter

Mira visual affects as well as making the dance routines

The three of them have created a popstar band that has apparently taken the world by storm everyone in the world listens to their music, young old middle-aged men women children everyone loves these girls

And I can see why I've heard some of that music whilst I was coming over here to get the job their voices are beautiful and their beauty extends far beyond their voices

They are beautiful in their own right to each of them in their own unique way I thought some of the pictures I saw on billboard would be edited but they didn't do them justice. These young women are... Amazing

The girls smiling: hi Bobby!

Bobby: hi girls how was the trip here?

Rumi: oh you know the usual uneventful at some occasional crazy fans, but you know nothing too harmful

Bobby: well say goodbye to those kind of problems because girls I'd like you to meet your new bodyguard Michael... Sorry what is your last name?

I shake my head as I realise I was staring off into space: Michael Grayson my name is Michael Grayson I'm your new bodyguard... It's an honour and a privilege to meet you girls in person

Zoey gasped almost like a child: oh so you're the guy the doctor recommended

I nod: yeah and first of all Zoey please let me express my gratitude for you giving me a chance.

She blushes slightly: no problem the doc may be weird but he's a good judge of character

Mira looked at me suspiciously: Bobby, we don't need any more bodyguards me and the girls are perfectly fine by ourselves

Bobby: the girls you keep telling me how I'm getting why you were late to some of your performances... Or did you forget?

Something about the girls reaction got me surprised. They looked at each other nervously like they were hiding something but why would they need died? It sure I don't know Bobby that long but he seems like a reasonable guy if they were doing something before the performance I'm sure he would understand.

Rumi: regardless Bobby, what do we know about this guy? I mean, Zoey talked about the doctor recommending him but what do we really know about him?

I could sense that there was a bit of unease about hiring me: listen if you guys don't want me to be a bodyguard I completely understand. I mean I know how suspicious this looks. I don't really have any document sent no form of ID... Not to mention any references but please I really need this job I really need to win.

Bobby: come on girls let's give him a chance he's been through a lot lately. He's just trying to get his life back on track. Let's just see how it works for awhile and if it doesn't then we'll... You know use the F word

I look at him confused was he going to swear at me and I turned to the popstars?: The F word.

Zoey: he means fire Bobby hates... That word

Rumi:... Alright I guess we could at least give it a chance okay? New guy you're our bodyguard now which means you gotta come with us.

I look at them confused as they walked past me: what for?

Mira: to get to the airport to fly to our next performance

Okay, now I'm really confused: but I thought your last performance was here in this city

Zoey: well yeah but... We're gonna arrive in style

The girls leave the room and I quickly follow after them I'm still confused what they meant we're gonna be flying to their next performance, even though it's in this town. Is this just a thing in the world or is this just popstars in general?

I really don't understand, but they are gonna sign my paychecks so might as well go along with it however they wanna arrive in their own performances thing I just follow and protect them from crazed fans... That's all I do... I hope
