Reasons

Chapter 1 - Reasons

Being 24 and a college graduate living in the famous city of Hollywood working in my dream job is not easy. Just a few days ago i was forced to write an article inside the People Magazine that i knew for a fact was fake. Today the article came out and now im in the eye of a tornado. All of the coworkers are praising me because everybody in every city is buying the magazine Because of the fake story.

I feel horrible and guilty and my boss knows so he came up to me and told me. "Thats hollywood, that is what sells. Welcome to the lovely world of being a Journalist here at People Magazine, and anywhere else you go Jen get used to it, brush off the uneasiness and get to work on the next article."

I Majored in Photographic Art with a minor in journalism. I appiled here to be a photographer, but instead i was put as a temporary replacement of the highest ranking Journalist that left on pregnancy leave. I was told that once she comes back I will have my desired position as lead photographer. In the meantime i have to write three huge stories that make it to the cover. So far I have written one.

I have to survive writting the next two i just hope nobody reads the credits in the back and reads my name.

I want to take pictures and play with my camera so that it is perfect and so that i wont need to photoshop it.

"Jen! Nice story. Great way to start off your journalistic career." my temporary secretary tells me.

"Thanks Mary but i really hope i can get up to my desired position as soon as Linette gets back." i say and she nods.

"Atleast the picture you took of Taylor made the cover." she says.

"Thank you. I actually got lucky with that picture." i tell her.

I had gone to New York's Fashion Week before I got hired here and that day I was shooting pictures as a favor for Vogue, my cousin is the Cover editor and wanted me to be the photographer representing Vogue that day. During a half hour break everyone was able to roam sround and talk to each other and drink from the open bar in the back of each side of the room. I went to the restroom and overheard a girl talking on the phone saying they got a positive on a pregnancy test. after the girl got out of the stall i saw that it was taylor swift. At first i was in shock but then i brushed it off and politely said hello and i left the restroom. as i was taking pictures of the crowd I accidentally had zoomed in to Taylor in the back of the room and in the picture you can tell she was crying and talking on the phone. I mentioned that story to the boss when he was asking me about Fashion Week and the celebrities that were there.
