The Internship #Wattys2017

Chapter |24|: The intellectual conversation

Instead of rewriting the second book because I accidentally deleted it I will continue this one. It'll be based off of all characters after the internship has ended. Book one is written in cursive while this one isn't so you can tell the difference and why everything is in a different setting.

New character:

Anna Kendrick as Blaire

Enjoy.

"Are you listening?" My mom asked me and I nodded although I wasn't paying attention. After all that has happened she's not to happy. Not that she's disappointed in me because she's not but apparently she didn't call me because I could've done it and the phone works on both ends.

"I'm listening" I mumbled falling asleep as she talked to me. Good news she's clear of her cancer, That was the news I was blessed with after winning the money, Also the news I was to be coming home and I was in trouble.

"Then what did I say?" She asked as she crossed her arms. My mother is really pretty, She almost looks exactly like Taraji P Henson but older and my dad.. Well he looks Johnny Depp.. If you're into that.

"You said you're so happy I'm home and you've missed me dearly"

"No that is not what I said, You're eighteen which means you're an adult but not legally, What's this I hear about throwing toilet paper over the building? That's not how you were raised"

"Mom I just wanted to have fun, You know fun. It's a word you can do"

"Fun?" She said like it was her first time saying the word. "I know how to have fun. And if you haven't noticed it hasn't been fun without knowing how my kids are doing"

"You told me to go" I defended quickly. If I knew she needed me here I wouldn't have left and I told her this.

"Yes and then I hear about you and some kid named Maurice, No a man, Are you crazy?"

"You were 16 when you dated daddy and he was already 19 ,That wasn't legal what I have is"

"What you have is a chance of not becoming everything I want you to be"

I sighed and looked the other direction not ready for this conversation. I seen it coming. Before my mom was diagnosed she wasn't the perfect mother, But I still love her regardless. She wanted her kids to all be something in life and make a name for our family, After Tanya and Charlie disappointed she looked to me and I guess I was her only choice. Hence my name.

"If you love me and you can believe in me, I have opportunities. I still want to go to college and I even have a job opportunity being a professor at a college. I am something"

"That's not good enough faith, And a relationship isn't something you need"

I didn't answer I just answered my phone which was also my prayers so I could get out of that awkward conversation.

"Thank goodness Blaire" I said talking to my only friend I have.. Besides Mya who I haven't even talked to. The more I think about it the more I wonder if she ever even liked me.

"Did I answer your prayers?" She asked while laughing at my sigh of relief.

"Most definitely, She's doing it again"

"At least she's healthy though, I wish my mother would get off her culo every once in a while" She said and her mom yelled something back in Italian.

Blaire gasped. "I bet you wouldn't say that to your poker buddies"

"Yeah and I think my mother and I have a complicated relationship" I laughed and she groaned in frustration.

"That woman kills me, You see how lucky you actually are?"

"I'm not lucky, It's torture. She doesn't even want me to date"

"Ooo that yummy guy who's books you've been obsessed with?"

"Wasn't obsessed, Observing" I said as I walked into my room a little ashamed I'm still living with my parents.

"Right, Speaking of observing I seen Charlie" She trailed and I knew she was smiling. Blaire's always had a crush on my brother, Technically he's my stepbrother but yeah still.

"Shocker, You two always seem to find each other"

"He's dreamy"

"No he's in your dreams, Hey I'm getting another call"

"I won't be holding you any longer, We're going out tonight right?"

"I'll see, Bye Blaire"

She hung up and I answered Maurice's call quickly shutting my door. Eighteen and have to sneak around.

"Hey" I smiled.

"Hey sweetheart, I thought you were going to hang with Zach and I?"

"I was, But turns out I can't. My mom's been lecturing me all day"

"Why?"

Should I tell him? Tell your boyfriend your mom doesn't like him?

"She's concerned about my profession" I half lied. She is concerned about it but she think he's the cause of it.

"Ah, How about tonight?"

"Yeah I'll see you"

"Okay, You okay?"

"Peachy, Bye babe" I said quickly hanging up. Bright side. You can see how my life came to be.
