{Karlie Hynes In the MM}
"So what do you want to do?" My mom asked there was so much anger in her voice. "I want to be a producer I want to make music and beats and write lyrics." I replied.
"Music is nothing but a waste of time. I didn't mind you doing it as a small hobby but now your trying to make a career out of this. Your just going to throw away all your opportunities and what about Harvard. I refuse to sit back and let you ruin your future Nicole." My mom was yelling at me at this point and I felt tears stinging in the back of my eyes. "Music is not a waste of time. Music is an art form and I love it its how I express who I am why can't you see that?"
Tears were now slowly coming down my face. I watched as my mom paced my room back and forth. She stopped in front of my bed and pushed her shoulder length straight hair behind her ear. "You're a lawyer just like everyone else in this family." She said in a very stern voice. "But mom..." "Damn it Nicole Cayer I mean it I want you at that law firm every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday do you understand me and I don't want you to step foot into that studio EVER." I watched as she stormed out of my room slamming my door behind her.
"So what are you going to do?" Carli asked. My mom had to go to the office so I invited Karlie over and told her everything. "What can I do Karlie my mom was really upset." I replied remembering the looks of disappointment, sadness, and anger in her eyes.
"Well you cant just not do the internship." She had a point we had been dreaming of this internship since we were freshman. Karlie wants to be a famous singer. She wants to be the next Beyonce and honestly she can really sing. "Well what do you think I should do?" I asked hoping she had a plan like always. "Just tell your mom you're going somewhere else and then go to the studio instead." She said. "What if she wants to visit me one day and where am I supposed to tell her I'm going?" I asked finding flaws in her plan.
"Tell her you're helping my mom at her boutique." "Your mom's boutique isn't even open yet." I replied. "Just tell her you're helping get everything set up for the grand opening." She said. "Alright if its the only way." I felt terrible lieing to my mom but I had to there was no way I could pass up the opportunity to work with knucklehead and miss the chance to sell one of my songs to a celebrity.
It was a beautiful Saturday morning and I was so excited to start my internship today. I walked out of my closet wearing my khaki pants and basket ball jersey and my jordans I went over to the mirror and decided to wear my weave flat with a few loose curls I walked down stairs and as I hoped my mom had already left for work.
I got into my Mercedes Benz and picked up Karlie and we headed to the studio. "I can't believe you're driving a Benz and I'm still taking the bus scraping up tips trying to save up for a car." Karlie said as she turned to look at me drive. "I thought you had a car." I responded keeping my eyes on the road. "Ugh god that piece of shit is not a car and I refuse to be seen driving it." "Well you should be greatful." I said. "Yea that's easy for you to say your whole life was handed to you on a silver platter by a butler.
You know nothing about the struggle." She said turning to look out the window. I pulled up in front of Def Jam recordings and all the confidence I had this morning left. "I'm scared." I admitted turning to Karlie. "Don't be ok we're gonna go in there work with knucklehead and a bunch of other celebrities and they're gonna love us." She said reassuring me. "You really think its that simple?"
"Yep and if you're lucky we might run into August Alsina." She replied nudging me in the arm with her elbow while winking at me. Karlie is like the only person who knows I like August because I'm not one of those fans who obsess or worship a celebrity. "Shut up." I slightly rolled my eyes laughing as I got out of the car walking onto the side walk
