Beautiful Now (Adopted By Kendall Jenner Book 3) (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 7

It's been a week since Kira has moved into our house, and we went shopping to buy her a phone, clothes, shoes, makeup, and other stuff I thought she might need. We bonded over everything, and we got really close in one week. 

Today are the People's Choice Awards, and I'm nominated for 'Favorite Social Media Celebirity'.  I don't really know why, but I'm going anyways. I know I'll most probably be asked questions about the Golden Globes, and that's why I was debating whether I should go or not, but I decided to go for the fans. 

Kira decided that she wanted to buy her own condo in Malibu near us, so I payed for a three bedroom condo and we also went shopping for furniture. Mom helped her deal with things like car insurance, home insurance, life insurance, etc. Mom bought her a matte grey Range Rover, and also the iPhone 7 plus in jet black. 

I visit her all the time, and we get lunch and dinner together. It feels so good to have an older sister that I can talk to regularly. I decided to make an Instagram post explaining the situation, so that the paparazzi and tabloids can stop going crazy. 

I start getting ready for the PCA's, when Maria walks in. "Guys, we have bad news. Brooklyns publicist is threatening to sue us if we press any charges or let the story out about what happened at the Golden Globes. His team just contacted me," Maria says. I roll my eyes. I've had enough of this legal drama, it's starting to give me a headache. 

Mom gets up and follows Maria outside, and I know that someone's getting yelled at. 

                                                              ———Kendall's POV———

I'm beyond pissed at Brooklyn's publicist. There's no way I'm letting his team get away with blackmailing us. "Kendall, before you start yelling-" "I'm calling his publicist right now. What's their number?" I ask Maria. She sighs and hands me her phone. "This is her number. Please don't upset her-" Maria starts but I already dialled the number and it was ringing. 

"Hello?" A British voice says. "Is this Brooklyn Beckham's publicity team?" I ask. "Yes, it is. And this is Ms. Rodriguez, Leslie Jenner's publicist and personal assistant?" The lady asks. "No, this is Kendall Jenner, Leslie's mom. I heard that you're threatening to sue me over the Golden Globes incident in which Brooklyn innapropiately placed his hands on my daughter?" I ask her. She's quiet for a moment. 

"Those allegations are false, and unfortunately Miss Jenner, you can't press charges-" "Actually, she can. I've done my research and have come to the conclusion that your client Brooklyn, who may I add is Leslie's ex boyfriend, put his hands on my underage daughter's body without her consent, and in the state of California, that may lead to 6 months in county jail, including a fine of up to $2,000. I'll be discussing with Leslie if she wants to press charges, and her decision will be made. And to be quite frank, it's not your place to tell me what I can and can't fxcking do. Good night," I say and hang up. 

Maria just stares at me. "That was amazing. She's definitely shook," Maria says and I laugh. "I just hate it when people try to mess with Leslie. I'm not letting her get hurt again by anyone. Case closed," I say and she nods. Sometimes I have to pick between being her mom and being a professional manager, and in this situation I had to be her overprotective mom. 

                                                                    ———Leslie's POV———

I'm finally dressed with hair and makeup, and I take a Snapchat selfie. "Remember, if they ask about the Golden Globes, tell them that it was a family emergency, and that it's all fine now. Got it?" Maria says. I nod my head. I was kind of nervous to do interviews, but I just had to deal with it. 

When I arrive,  paparazzi go crazy. 'LESLIE WHY DID YOU LEAVE THE GOLDEN GLOBES?!' 'LESLIE TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR LONG LOST SISTER!' 'LESLIE WHY DID HARRY AND YOUR MOM BREAK UP?!'. I ignore them and start posing on the red carpet. I'm actually not as overwhelmed as I thought I would be, and the paparazzi aren't that loud to me anymore. I guess you mature and get used to it. 

The first interview happens, and they ask about the Golden Globes. I respond, "It was a family emergency, but it's all good now,"  politely but straight to the point. Other than that, the interview went well. I find Ashlee and hug her. "You're like the first person that I know that I've seen her," I tell her. 

"Same! You look so hot," Ashlee says and I laugh and say thanks. Once we find our seats, I sit down right next to Ashlee. The show itself wasn't boring, but I was kind of anxious for some reason. Like I just wanted it to be over soon. 

"So, the nominees for Favorite Social Media Celebrity are: Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and Leslie Jenner. And the winner is... Leslie Jenner!" I smile and get up. Once I reach the stage, I hug the announcer and then I take the award. 

"Thank you so much for this award. I actually didn't prepare a speech, so this will be kind of improvised," I say and the audience laughs. "Although this may seem like it's just for social media, it's not. It's something way bigger than that. I think that social media is a fun way to interact and to post for artistic value, but it's also a platform to use your voice for things and problems in the world. For all the young kids and teenagers watching this, I'd like to encourage you to continue to work hard and stay in school and to voice your opinion on what is important to you, no matter how small or large. Thank you," I say and the audience cheers. 

When I walk back to my seat Ashlee stares at me. "That was so good! Like, Oscars speech good!" She says impressed. "Thanks. I was so nervous, I was shaking." I say laughing and out of breath. "It didn't look like it. You looked so composed," she says and I smile. Now I'm glad that I went. 

After the award show, I get back home to see mom and Kira talking. When they notice me they stop talking. "You guys are suspicious," I say and they both laugh. I have no idea what they're planning. They notice my award and start going crazy. "Your first official award! How does it feel?" Mom asks. 

"Oh my god mom, it's not that big of a deal," I say but I'm actually really excited. "Soon you'll be winning Oscars!" Kira says and I laugh and shake my head. "Well, go get changed and then we'll have a movie night," mom says. I run upstairs and remove my makeup, change into a Pink brand onesie, and I also tweet out, 'Thank you @PCA ❤️'. Then I turn off my phone and get ready to just relax.
