It had been about a week since I saw the photo of Drew and he had obviously talked to Chase because he kept trying to call and text me but I just didn't want to hear it.
I've had so many shitty past relationships, the excuses are always the same, it was always 'a mistake' or 'it's not what it looked like' and if I just don't hear it won't hurt as much. It was just a summer fling, that's it.
I was currently scrolling through job applications, my legs criss-cross with my computer in my lap when my phone started ringing.
"You're going to have to talk to him at some point!" Madelyn yelled from the other room.
"It not him," I said picking up my phone from beside me, "It's a New York number"
I heard Maddie run into my room as I picked up the call, putting it on speaker phone.
"Hello?" I said, looking at the phone in my hand.
"Hello, is this Miss. Lockwood?" a women on the other line said.
"This is she"
"Good morning, Miss. Lockwood, this is Gabriela Martinez, Amanza Balaro's assistant," she explained, I looked up at Maddie, with excitement in my eyes, who stood at the end of my bed holding her hands to her chest with nerves.
"I am calling on behave of Miss. Balaro who would be interested at setting up an interview for the styling assistant job," she said.
"I would love to! When would she like to meet?" I asked trying to not sound eager.
"Her only available time is Friday at 3:30, I will send you an email with all of the information," she said, "I will talk to you later Miss. Lockwood"
"Thank you for calling, looking forward to it," I said as she hung up. I dropped my phone on the bed next to me.
"Oh my god!" I yelled sitting up on my knees covering my face.
"It's happening! The dream is coming true!!" Maddie squealed, "Oh my gosh, Mags, I'm so excited for you!"
"I can't believe it, pinch me, is this real life? Am I dreaming?"
"I say we celebrate! Get ready baby! We're hitting the bars!" Maddie said with enthusiasm before she turned to go back to her room.

The next morning I was laying in bed, going through my emails and came across the one with the information for the interview.
"New York?" I whispered to myself. Shit.
It's Wednesday, I have to be there Friday. I need to book a flight asap.
"Maddie!" I called hoping she was here.
"Why are we yelling?" she asked wondering into my room.
"So I have to go to New York for the interview and the only flight I can get is tomorrow at 10pm, can you take me?" I asked.
"Of course! Are you just going to go for the day?"
"I don't know, maybe some change will help me forget?"
"Take some you time! I'm only a call away and you love New York so why not"
We had gone one year for spring break and I fell in love with the city.
"True," I laughed, "It's settled I'm having a weekend in New York!"
I spent the rest of my day packing for the weekend and getting my stuff organized in Charleston before leaving.
I was now in New York getting ready for my interview. I sat at the vanity in the hotel room I was in, applying mascara when my phone started to ring on the table next to me. I looked over to see Maddie's face light up on my phone.
"Hello," I said as the facetime loaded up and I set my phone to rest against the mirror.
"Hi! You look cute, I just wanted to call and say good luck!" she smiled holding the phone while she sat on the couch.
"I'll call you afterwords?" I said applying lipgloss.
"Sounds good," she smiled.
"Maggie! Good luck!" I heard Chase yell from behind the camera.
"You told him?" I said glaring at her. I didn't want people to really know what was going on until I got an answer.
"He wouldn't stop asking where you were" she defended her self as Chase sat down next to her on the couch, coming into frame.
"Thank you, Chase," I smiled, "Don't tell anyone else, please"
"I won't, I promise," she said holding up her pinky. I held mine up to her and we both winked.
"Okay I gotta go catch a taxi, I don't want to be late," I said as I stood up and slid on my brown heeled boots.
"That outfit is so cute!" she squealed as my matching deep orange pant suit came into frame, I had a cream color turtle neck on under the blazer with layered necklaces.
"Thank you," I smiled as I did a spin showing off the whole outfit.
"Kiss the locket for luck," she smiled. I picked up the locket from my chest and gave it a kiss before picking up my phone.
"I'll call you later, love you," I said hanging up and rushing out of the room.
