Here's violets back story. She has an internship at a photography company in New York. She's seventeen (18 on April 20th)
"Hey Violet, Mr. Tanner would like to see you in his office please."a secretary said
These were the words that made Violet think one of two things: She was in trouble, or she was being rescued from a horrible lecture on the brightness of a photo being wrong.
"Mr. Tanner,"Violet knocked,"You wanted to see me?"
"Yes! Violet, have a seat. I have a proposition for you."he said excitedly.
"What's that?"she questioned.
"As you know Mrs. Weir is on bed rest until she is able to deliver the twins."
"Yes?" Violet asked confused.
"She has a big project coming up that she isn't going to be able to proceed with,"he continued, "I asked her what she wanted me to do I mean, we can't cancel of course." He chuckled and looked at me for approval.
"So what does all of this have to do with me?" Violet asked sounding more interested than she had wanted to.
"Violet, you have been here a little over a year and you are by far one of the best students I have ever seen. You are a prodigy of photography!"
"And?"
"And," he said, sounding a bit irritated,"I would be extremely grateful if you could fill in for Mrs. Weir. We can't lose this client, afterall. And this would be a great learning experience for you. We gave you an internship here because we think you can amount to something. If you did this, we might consider giving you a full time, payed job here."
"That would be amazing Mr.Tanner. But I can't miss school. And I know nothing about what I'm supposed to be doing."Violet said in one breath.
"The school thing won't be a problem. And it's very simple. You will be taken to the client's manager. From there you will be taken to meet the clients and you will interview them together, interview then one by one, and then photograph them. In whatever order suits you."
"So if I agree to this, I may have a shot at a career in film and photography?" She asked hopefully.
"If you do this, you have the job. Your plane leaves tomorrow. Are you up for it?"
"I'm up for it. May I ask where I'm going?"
" You're flying to the City of Angels. LA California! "
"O-o-kay Mr.Tanner."
"Thank you Violet. We will be in touch. I'll call you in the morning just to check up on things. And remember, we're counting on you!"
" I won't let you down Mr.T.
As soon as Violet left the office and got a cab she called her best friend.
"Hello?"
"Addy! Hi"
"Hi Violet! what's up?"
" I just got a job offer I think."
"Really?"
"Well not exactly, "she went on,"If I go to LA for a while and do a few interviews and some photoshoots, I have a job!"
"No way Vi! That's amazing!!! When do you leave for LA?"
"I leave tomorrow. Come help me pack?"
"Absolutely! I get off in an hour. How's that sound?"
"Perfect! Bring me a smoothie from work?"
"Of course!" She laughed.
" okays. See you then. Bye!"
She hung up the phone just in time to get to her small apartment. She lived on the third floor of this 8 floor complex. It had been a long day so she decided to take a quick shower before her best friend arrived to help her pack. After she showered, she pulled on a pair of Nirvana sweat pants and an American Horry Story shirt, pulled her hair up on the top of her head, and quickly ordered a pizza for her and Addy. Soon after Addy got there with two smoothies from tropical smoothie, the pizza did too. Together they ate pizza and talked about the details of Violets trip, and then began packing.
"You have so many clothes it's hard to pick what to take!"Addy joked.
"I know! It's warm in LA. So something cool."
"Yes,"Addy agreed,"will there be cute guys there?"
" I'm sure there will be it's LA. But I'm not there for guys"
"True, but it could never hurt. How many suit cases are you taking?"
"Two for clothes, one for makeup, and one for each camera."
"Okay we can make that work!"
After a few hours of arguing and going through clothes, they had bags packed. The biggest suitcases had six t-shirts, five flannels, six pairs of skinny jeans, five pairs of shorts, two bikinis, four pairs of sweat pants, six sweat shirts, three pairs of vans, two converse, and some super cute knee socks. After all, she didn't know how long she'd be in LA. She also had her Laptop, video camera, and photography equipment packed and ready to go.
"You can't leave the state without a little reminder what you're leaving behind, close your eyes." Addy said motioning for Violet to hold her wrist out.
"What is it?" Violet asked.
"You'll see," she said giving Violet the gift,"okay open."
"Addy this is so pretty! I love you!"
Addy had given Violet a beautiful charm bracelet with photos of them both together and had a matching one as well.
"Best friends forever? No matter what?"Addy asked holding out her pinkie.
"Best friends forever. No matter what" Violet agreed, interlocking her pinkie with Addy's.
There they goofed off until there was no longer any sign of life outside the walls of her New York apartment. They fell asleep on the floor and when Violet woke up, Addy was gone. Violet sat alone with a note reading: Have fun in LA, Vi. I lava you! I'll miss you. Call me whenever you can!!! XoXo-Addy
"I'll miss you too, Addy." Violet whispered to herself looking at the charm bracelet one last time before going to her bed and cuddling up with herself. She finally dozed off thinking about what the next few weeks had in store for
