Chapter Three.

We need to talk, Office, NOW." Jo shouted.

Was my evil plan turning against me? Dammit.

Well I had to follow him to his office to find out. Jo made his way to his office putting his arm around Allison as she was tearing. Doesn't she have a husband?

 Jo opened the office's door and sat down in his chair. As I was sitting down he stopped me. Since when, Jo?

"Have some respect to the problem you did, the position you are in and how it will affect you and your career." Jo said sternly. Affects me and my career? So, he's going to fire me now?

"Let's skip to "how will it affect my career" part. Am I going out of this door and never coming back?" I asked.

 In another case without Allison being the "victim" I would say that I brought it all to myself. But what got me on my nerves and made me really pissed off, that Allison's way of living was ruining mine. And she always got away with it. So, the one time I decide to create a small problem it turns against me and about to end up my career.

"Unfortunately, you are a big part of why the show is famous and the station is not closed. Firing you would be a loss, to me and to the station." Jo said. I sighed out of relief while Allison threw Jo a death glare. If looks could kill, Jo would be dead.

"So, on your next episode, you will announce to your audience and fans, a formal apology hopefully fix what you did so consider yourself lucky. I'm done." Jo said in a tone that I never heard before. And… A FORMAL APOLOGY? I would rather be fired. What would I apologize for? Sorry for showing you all how a bitch Allison is and can be?

And of course you all know how much Allison will be pleased and tempted while I will be apologizing, live.

"I'd rather get fired!" I said. I will not give up this easily.

"Why can't you realize how big of a problem you made? You destroyed her reputation and career and you should be fired. But your successful working self, saved you. So you should be thankful Mal." Jo shouted. Wow Allison you stained your ink on the guy.

"Think about it Mal, just a 2 minute apology or a fired successful presenter?" Jo said more calmly. I shot Jo and Allison glares then took my clutch and marched away from the two most people I hate right now.

As I was walking down the street heading to the garage to ride my car I bumped into someone and spilled all his coffee all over him.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry" I apologized. What was wrong with me? I never apologize when bumping into someone accidently. I guess the whole Allison thing really got into me.

"It's okay. Hey aren't you that presenter from The City Lights? I love your show!" The person I bumped into said.

Does he have to remind me how much I love my show? And how hard it is to choose between apologizing and leaving? The hardest two things to do in my life. If I apologize, Allison would think she is above me and would take a good advantage of that. If I leave or get fired to be exact, it would be hard to find a new job. If there were empty positions in other stations I wouldn't go to my current station. It was a wreck the first time I came. How can Jo be so ungrateful? Well, I already know the answer; Allison has her ways.

 "Thank you." I said with a frown on my face then walked away before he could add anything. He must be thinking what's behind my weird reaction and response to his compliment now. Well, I don't know myself. I never let myself be distracted or let anyone get me or make my head spin. But Allison always had her ways to make these three things happen to me.

I arrived to the garage and my way out of it riding my car.

When I finally got home after a long traffic jam I was welcomed with a bright smile of Conner's. What is he smiling at? I should be crying now and he should make me some tea and tell me it's going to be fine.

"Babe, you got her badly! Did you see how she marched away crying? I mean, Allison crying! You did a Great job. For once you won over her." He said enthusiastically with the same grin on his face.

I couldn't really understand he was congratulating or insulting me. But he is right though. I never won…win over Allison in anything in my life and the' never' shall continue.

"I shared the same feeling hours ago before Jo informed me I should apologize Live on my next episode or get fired." I told him disappointingly. The enthusiasm in Conner's eyes is quickly replaced by sadness and disappointment. As if he was informed that he lost a photography contest.

"I'm so sorry; you'll win over her one day, one way or another." He said pulling me into a hug. Then he sang One Way or Another to me and I laughed at his terrible voice.

"What a pleasant way to cheer me up" I said chuckling.

"You don't like my performance?" He said fake pouting his face.

"No! It's amazing. See you even got accepted at the X-Factor!" I said sarcastically.

"Sounds great but I got photography sessions to take care of so I'll see you later so we can discuss which song should I sing." He said with a wink closing the door behind him after giving me a small kiss.

That's what I hate about Conner. He is always busy, he works all the time. I feel that I'm in a relationship with his notes, his bathroom door notes.

After Conner leaving, I head to the bathroom to have a quick shower then I made myself a cup of tea to relax me. As I was lying down on my bed I noticed by old photo album. I haven't looked in this thing for ages. Yeah, that's because it brings back awful memories to me. But now I got over it. Okay who am I kidding? I will never get over anything. Well, a look inside it won't hurt. I slowly got up and reached the top shelf and successfully got it. I wipe the dust on its cover and open it. First Picture; It was for me and Allison. Allison with her goofy glasses on, a purple button-up shirt and a long black white-flowered skirt. While I was wearing a cute summer dress. I remember this day and the time we took this photo……

Today is my first day in High-School.
