" interviews. "

( irl & social media )

after my shift at the hospital and my night out with ayden, i fall asleep right away. i'd say, a night out was kinda nice. i need to get out more often. i'm either stuck at the hospital or home 24/7. i took a quick shower and went right to sleep. ayden is such a nice guy but who's going to tell him that we're only colleagues? that person would be me. it all feels platonic, it's not real love. i'll wait for that moment if it ever comes. being in healthcare and the spotlight at times feels like a disease. on nights that i want to rest, i always think of paparazzi knocking on my door, or getting a call that i have to be on standby. but i chose this, so i have to deal with it. i have to keep pushing.

the next morning, i get a call from my agency, asking if i want to do an interview for a magazine. not really asking, but demanding. so i say yes. i always say yes. it's for people magazine talking about my blossoming career in healthcare and my long awaited appearance on some sort of social platform besides my instagram. 

"we need you at noon today. it's for people magazine. start to get ready now. we have to hurry. this was very unexpected as of right now. we'll be over to start makeup at 10 am." i sigh and head to the bathroom to shower. i take around 30 minutes and as soon as i get out, i hear banging on my door. i open it and i see 3 men and 4 women rush in the entrance. i'm about to close it when i feel a hand push up against the door to stop it. 

"bitch, don't forget about me. i've been here since the start." i hear a familiar voice and open the door wide. larray. 

i reach out and give larray a huge hug and kiss on the cheek. we hug for like a minute straight. 

"i missed you bitch boy."

"missed you too slut." he says and we both laugh, getting a questionable look from my manager.

"you have about an hour and a half to get all of this done adeline. we need to hurry. i know you haven't seen larray in awhile, but we need to make this quick. okay?" she states and i just nod slightly. i sit down in the chair for them to do my makeup and hair. they don't really mess with my hair besides trimming the split ends and adding some volume to my curtain bangs. they go for a very natural look by starting with my skincare, adding primer, light foundation, and some concealer. then they move onto the contour, powder, blush, highlighter blah blah blah. i'm too tired for this crap.

i get dressed in a simple rib fitted, long length white tee shirt with grey, washed vintage jeans from levi's. my second outfit for the magazine is a black seamless tank top and white adidas. otherwise i don't really care what brand everything it from. i could give 3 less fucks. after we're done with everything, we drive to the studio at what feels like 100 mph. 

we arrive and are rushed in instantly. larray smile at me and gives me a thumbs up before disappearing behind a curtain. we walk in the room where i have to do the interview. it's a dark, plain room with nothing besides a chair and the cameras with the interviewer. apparently her name is cassidy. i smile at her slightly and she smiles back fakely from what i can tell. i situate myself in the uncomfortable chair and cross my legs. i start picking at my nails and my breathing is hitched. i gulp and look up to which cassidy is staring directly in my direction."starting in 3..2..1.."
