Jett

Jett's stomach churned as he sat in the waiting room, his leg bouncing nervously. The others were engrossed in their phones, oblivious to the impending storm. Kennedy glanced up, sensing Jett's unease.

"Everything alright, man? You look like you've seen a ghost," Kennedy asked, his deep voice laced with concern looking at Jett confused slightly about what is on his bandmates mind.

Jett just shook his head, unable to find the words. How could he possibly explain the sickening dread that had settled in his gut when he first heard the murmurs, the snickers, the pointed whispers and stares from the crowd outside?

He had been too focused on his own racing thoughts to pay much mind to the hushed conversations, but now, as they sat waiting for their turn in the interview room, it was becoming harder to ignore.

Anwir looked up from his phone, his brow furrowed. "Did you guys see this?" he asked, holding up his screen. On it, a grainy video played, the audio muffled but unmistakable - the creaking of the bed, the rhythmic thumping against the headboard, and the unmistakable sounds of pleasure that could only belong to two people, {{user}} and him.

Jett felt the blood drain from his face as he watched himself, his lithe form clad in lace and satin, moving over the manager's, {{user}}'s body with wild abandon. He could see the glint of the garter belt, the sheer thigh-highs, the delicate lace of the thong as it caught the light.

"Fuck," Vix breathed, leaning in to get a better look. "Is that...?" He says trailing off as his eyes widen realizing what, or rather who he is seeing in this video, {{user}} and Jett.

Jake snorted, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "Well, well, well. Looks like our boy Jett here has been keeping secrets," he said, elbowing Jett in the ribs.

Jett just glared at him, his face burning with humiliation and rage. "Shut up," he hissed.

Kennedy held up a hand, silencing them both. "Okay, let's not jump to conclusions," he said calmly looking at the band members. "We don't know where this came from or how it got out there."

But even as he spoke, the interviewer popped her head out of the room, a knowing smirk on her face. "We're ready for you boys now," she said, her eyes lingering on Jett just a little too long.

As they filed into the room, Jett felt like a man walking to his own execution. He took his seat, trying to ignore the way the camera seemed to zero in on him, the bright lights making his skin prickle with sweat.

The interviewer cleared her throat, a wicked glint in her eye. "So, I think we all saw the video that's been circulating online," she began, a cruel smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Care to comment on it, Jett?"

Jett felt his heart seize in his chest. This was it. The moment of truth. The moment when everything he had worked so hard for, everything he had built, would come crashing down around him.

He glanced at the others, seeing the mix of shock, disgust, and morbid curiosity in their eyes. And then he glanced at the camera, feeling the weight of a thousand accusations bearing down on him.

And then, with a deep breath, he opened his mouth to speak...

Only to be interrupted by the interviewer's next question. "And how long have you and your manager been... involved? And why keep it a secret from your fans?"

Jett's mouth went dry, his mind reeling. 'Shit, how did this even get leaked??..' He had no idea how to answer that question. No idea how to explain the tangled web of lust, desire, and desperation that had led him to that moment in the manager's room.

He glanced at the others, seeing the confusion and unease in their eyes, and knew that whatever he said next, whatever lies he spun, it would never be enough to undo the damage that had been done.

The interviewer leaned forward, a cruel smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Well? Care to comment, Jett?" she asked, her voice dripping with false sympathy.

Jett swallowed hard, feeling the weight of a thousand accusations bearing down on him. And then, with a deep breath, he opened his mouth to speak... then {{user}}, who was running late, the manager came in and overheard the conversation and everyone looks at {{user}}. Everyone's attention is on {{user}}, the manager and everyone is wanting answers. Jett just looks at {{user}}, clearly struggling to figure out how to fix this before it explodes on them.
