-One week later-
I woke up it was around 7 am, Monday I called Big Machine Records to make an appointment and today at 3 pm I have to be there. I got on my social media for like half an hour and than I got outta bed. I took a shower and than got dressed. Today I am wearing a white crop top with the zodiac signs and stuff on it, light blue high waisted shorts, black high heeled shoes, a sweaterish vest...? Lol and a black purse. I did my hair half up half down. I then put on my make up, did my brows and put on some mascara and some lip balm. By the time I was finished it was already 8:30 I walked downstairs to eat my breakfast. I looked at my phone, I haven't heard anything from Chandler now for like a week. He is somewhere in Orlando, he didn't tell me why? And honestly I am kinda worried but he'll be on set again tomorrow. I walked around in the park until it was time to leave. When my mom called me we should go the thought crashed into my mind. Today might be THE day that will change your life FOREVER music, career, friends, family, loved ones and especially my life. I walked home, kinda freaked out grabbed a snack and got into the car. The 3 hour car drive was me, music and my mind thinking about my maybe future life. After 2,5 hours I got a text from Chandler.
C: Goodluck, babe. I miss you and see you tomorrow.
K: I miss you too💕 see you tomorrow.
I wondered why he didn't send me any emojis he normally does... Did I do or say something wrong? Well at least Chan got my mind focused on something else. We finally arrived in Nasville, we parked somewhere near a café and drank there something after like 15 minutes we left to go to Big Machine Records. Kinda overwhelming. When we arrived I took a deep breath and walked inside.
"Hello, My name is Karlie Heller, I am here for an appointment with Scott Borchetta." I told the receptionist.
"Take a place over there Scott will be there in 5 minutes." She told us. I sat down just looking around and then 5 minutes later I saw Scott.
"Hi Karlie nice to see you again." He said very happy.
"Hi Scott, thank you for having me." It literally felt like I was dying. He than shook the hand of my parents.
"Follow me." He said. We walked up this big staircase to his office.
We sat down in his office and started talking.
"So let's start." He said.
"Karlie point one, I loved your cd that you dropped off here last week, it is something about the way you write, make the music and sing that makes something in you go kinda wild." He said.
"And point two is that I would be crazy to not have you on this record deal." He said.
"Well, thank you." I said.
"But we have to talk about your life beside,p making music." He said.
"I play in a TV show." I said.
"That's cool, which one?" He asked.
"The Walking Dead." I answered.
"So you kinda already found a way for people to get to know you?" He asked.
"Yes I have." I answered.
After that a lit of business talking happened. He asked me if we could meet in 2 weeks again and maybe show him some new lyrics and then maybe sign a contract. When we walked outside. I lost it I started jumping and singing and being all happy. We drove back home. When I got into the car I fell asleep, idk why in a way it was pretty exhausting. When we got home we ordered some pizza😏🍕 pizza is bae. I was soooooooo happy. My day couldn't get worse. After the pizza I walked upstairs and I noticed I got a text it was from Rachel. I walked to my room and read it.
R: I am sorry.
K: Why?
R: Send me a photo.
I was wrong my day was only getting worse. I dropped to the ground. Cried for the next hours. I thought we made things better. I thought our problems were solved. I... I... Thought we had a true love story... I was wrong all this time... He isn't my Romeo and I am not his Juliet. I turned eventually my phone on again and went on Twitter. The people kept tweeting the picture... Chandler was kissing Brianna. I couldn't handle it anymore. The pain, the weakness you feel. He cheated on me. I started writing songs it poured out of me. After a while I fell asleep on the thought of facing him tomorrow not knowing what to do... What should I do?? I can't quit the walking dead, but I can't face him either.
