Chapter 4

JAYLA

it's 10:30AM, and i've been up for quite some time now. I have an interview today to apply at the local library. It seems boring but I love reading. I send a text to Alexis letting her know my plans for today and then go to choose my outfit.

I head over to my closet and grab a beige cardigan with a brown shirt which is slightly cropped, then I match it with green cargos, shoes to match the cardigan, and a purse to match the pants. I hook on my necklace and grab my phone.

I put my hair in a claw clip today but left the two front pieces down. I leave my room and grab the spare key to the house just in case Damien decides to leave while i'm out. Alexis is outside waiting for me and I'm pretty sure mitri is in the car with her.

"Where are you going?" I turn around to face the voice, and I'm met with Damien's face. "Uh, I have a job interview today" I could've lied and said to my boyfriends house, which we all know I don't have, but I felt compelled to tell him the truth. Not that he would care anyway.

He gives me a mere nod and returns to whatever he was doing beforehand. I leave out the house and see Lex waiting for me. Like i suspected Dimitri was in the car, better yet, in the front seat.

I walk over to his door and open it. "Get out and get in the back." I give him a cheeky smile and he rolls his eyes at me but complies. We're now off to the library. "Soo, when'd you two start hanging out?" I question.

"Jayla, it's been less than 24 hours so we've had to have been hanging out after she dropped you off at the house." I roll my eyes at Dimitri's smart remark.

"Stay in the back seat, the grown ups are talking."I say to him, like he's a child. Alexis just laughs at us and sings along to the radio. We arrive at the library sooner than I thought we would.

I grow nervous and Alexis can sense it, so she gives me a quick pep talk. "You're going to go in there and kick ass! If you don't get the job then i'm going in there and kicking THEIR ass!" I laugh at her 'pep' talk but nonetheless I nod and step out the car. She rolls down the window and tells me to have a good day. Like i'm her kid and it's the first day of school.

I smile at her and stick my middle finger at Mitri, he returns the favor by sticking out his tounge. I chuckle and head inside. It's nice here, it looks very historic and old timey, I love it. I walk up to the front desk to ask for help.

"Hi, I'm here for an interview." The older lady doesn't even look up from her computer, "name?" she says blandly. "Jayla Pharaell"
She finally looks up and says, "you're late".
I check my phone and see it's 11:15. "Are you sure? My interview said 11:20." I quietly tell her growing nervous. "Well the time was changed, you were supposed to be here at 10:30. I guess I'll let Ms.Phoenix know. Go ahead and sit on a couch over there and wait until you're called."

I do as told and patiently wait, hoping I didn't mess up my chances. 5 minutes pass and my name is called. I perk up, standing, I grab my purse and follow the lady to her office. "Please forgive me for being late I had no clue that my interview time was changed, I wasn't aware." I blurt out all at once. "Woah sweetie, It's alright. It must have been a mistake on my end. No need to worry. Now, tell me about yourself."

45 minutes later

I believe the interview went well. She told me I'll get a call tomorrow evening letting me know if I got the job or not . I texted Alexis letting her know that I was finished. But she couldn't come get me because she was getting a pedicure.

My only other option was to call Damien.
"Hello?"
