Today

Lila

- Damn it!
I whispered, realizing I had fever. I felt sick since yesterday night, but I only thought it had nothing to do with that and that I was just in a bad mood because of what happened with Julian. I still can't accept what had happened, but I guess I have to move on. That of course doesn't mean I'm going back to Thomas. Never. I don't even want to talk to him. Not after what he did. Although he didn't admit anything and I'm pretty sure he will never do.
I couldn't go to work today, I just couldn't. I was sick and I felt exhausted but worse, I was emotionally exhausted. I was hurt. I just wanted to be all day long in my appartment and cry. I really need to cry. I had cried myself to sleep last night but I wasn't done yet.
I really wished I could stay home, but I had no choice, especially after how I left yesterday. I only wished Cody hadn't realized that, although I knew her well enough to know that she had somehow find out that I had left.
Unwillingly, I dressed myself and I headed to the door, trying my hardest to be fast so not to be late. I wanted desperately to drink some coffee, although only the thought of it made me want to vomit and besides I didn't have enough time for this.
I had a horrible headache since last night, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to survive this whole day.
Reaching the hotel, I spotted a girl, I have never seen before.
Maybe, she's new.
I thought to myself.
I approached her before going to change. She seemed so anxious that I felt sorry for her.
- You have to wait a little for your booking. I'm new and.......
- No, I work here.
I explained smiling at her.
- Good, I have no clue, how to work with these.....
She said pointing the equipment.
- You'll get used to it.
- Thanks, I'm Martha by the way.
She said introducing herself.
- Nice, to meet you. I'm Lila.
Her grey eyes became bigger hearing my name.
- Lila Johnson ?
She asked biting her lip.
- Yeah, you know me ?
I asked confused.
- I.....
She started playing nervously with her black hair contaminating her anxiety to me.
- Mrs. Johnson, can you come with me please ?
Cody's voice was strict. I felt like having a stomachache and I knew that I had got myself into big trouble.
- Yes, ma'am.
I just said following Cody into her office.
Martha lowered her gaze and I understood that something was bad, really bad.
Cody closed the door behind us and pointed a chair opposite to her desk.
- How are you today Lila ?
- I'm actually sick.
- Like you were yesterday ?
She asked raising her eyebrows.
I lowered my gaze. I was a liar. I have always been one.
- I'm sorry ma'am.
I apologized feeling ashamed.
- Lila, I don't know what's wrong with you lately, but you understand that you're not taking your job seriously.
- I know. And I'm really sorry for that. I'll do whatever to make it better.
Cody hesitated for a moment, then looked at me seriously.
- You met Martha, what do you say about her ?
- She seems nice.
I answered honestly.
- Good, I'm glad you like her, because she will replace you.
- Excuse me ?
- You're fired Lila.

- No, mum I'm okay, everything's fine.
I lied again. Hours after Cody had fired me I just sit in my appartment, when my mother decided to call me, as if she had a feeling that something bad had happened.
- Yes, I promise to call you soon, I have to hung up now though, someone's knocking on the door. We'll talk later.
I hung up immediately and I headed on my door. The last thing I wanted now was to have visitors, but I really preferred it than having to explain to my mother why I got fired.
Opening the door, I wasn't surprised seeing Meghan.
She came and hugged me tightly.
- Are you sick ?
She asked when touching me.
- Yeah, I guess I have fever.
- Poor Lila! Everything's so bad for you.
She said hugging me again and I guess she was also referring to the fact that I got fired.
- You've learned that......
- Yes, I did and I'm so sorry Lila.
She said looking down.
- It's okay I guess I deserved it.
- No, you didn't. Of course, you didn't. You're always interested in what you do Lila.
- I guess, not this time.
- Come on don't be sad. Maybe Cody will change her mind.
- Has she said something like that ?
I asked looking with hope at Meghan.
She lead me to the couch, placing her hand in my shoulder.
- I don't know Lila, but what I know is that you have to take some decisions in your life.
- I don't understand.
I replied looking at her.
- Firstly, you have to start searching for a new job, but before that........
She hesitated looking away as if she was ashamed of something.
- What is it ?
I asked looking at her.
- Okay, I don't know how to say it but I have to.
Her blue eyes were avoiding mine.
- Tell me Meghan.
- Okay, you were right about Thomas.
- Yeah, I know that.
- No, you don't. I heard Thomas saying to Robert that he did everything just to make you give up on Julian, he had a plan with Kim, just to make you two never see each other again.
- I'm not surprised.
I replied. I knew that Thomas had something to do with it but even if he hadn't, it didn't matter anymore. Julian was in Wolfsburg and what's more, he was getting married.
- The truth is, I knew it previously Lila, but you were right, I was afraid of my relation with Robert, but it doesn't matter anymore, because you're sad and if you're sad, I'm sad.
I looked at her with tears filling my eyes. She was a true friend, she had proven that all these years.
- It doesn't matter anymore Meghan, he doesn't want me in his life.
I said explaining her about the last night's phone call.
- Don't be stupid Lila, he said it because he wanted to protect you, he doesn't want you to get hurt. He fucking loves you and you know it, if he didn't would he come till Munich again just to see you ?
- It's not a big deal for someone like him.
- It's, especially for someone like him. Think about it, how many paparazzi would like to make his life a nightmare by saying that he, for example, cheats on his girlfriend ?
- But he said.........
- Forget what he said Lila, he said what he had to.
- You think ?
- I know it Lila.
- And even if that's true, what does it change ?
- Everything. Your life. His life. Lila, you don't get it, you have to go to Wolfsburg.
- Why so ?
I asked but because it was Meghan I was talking to I was afraid I knew the answer.
- Because you're going to stop the wedding!
She screamed being excited.
I looked at her as if she was crazy. Why that made her excited ? And why that was even an option ?
- Meghan, I can't do such thing.
- Why so ? Have you ever stopped a wedding ? Me neither. It's our chance!
- Meghan!
- What ?
- I can't do such thing. I'll make him sad and I have no right.
- You'll make him sad ? Are you serious Lila ? You'll save him from that bitch.
- She's not a bitch. She loves him.
- No, she loves the fame, he gives her.
- That's not true Meghan. You know it. She's famous herself, she doesn't need him.
- Yes, whatever.
- Then I could say the same about you and Robert.
- True. But think that Robert chose me himself, whereas Kim chose Vanessa for Julian.
I looked at her. She was right. Kind of. Anyway, this wasn't the point. I knew that Meghan was crazy, I would never do something like that. Julian would hate me forever.
- Whatever Meghan.
- It's not whatever. We're going in Wolfsburg. Pack your things. I'm going to book us tickets.
- You're coming ?
I asked surprised.
- Of course. If you don't have the guts to do it, then I'll do it.
- No, Meghan forget it.
- Don't be like that! You won't have any other chance to destroy a wedding.
- But, I don't want to destroy a wedding!
I screamed looking at her as if she was crazy.
- But I do!
- Meghan!
- Come on, you see that only in movies, besides you'll regret it. For many reasons.
- I'm not like that Meghan, besides if we do something like that, will be in every newspaper.
- Relax Lila, I didn't mean like destroying the wedding how you thought we would do.
- Then ?
- You'll just talk to Julian.
- Why ?
- You need to change his mind.
- Do I ?
- Unless you want both of you to suffer for the rest of your lives.
I thought of it. She was right. It was all or nothing.
- You're right.
I said immediately.
- See ?
- Yes, let's stop this wedding.
