The Runway is my Life

Chapter 2

All models are lined up as the music starts. I close my eyes and tried my best to focus. "Remember to have fun Emma," Regina says as she passes by me. I nod and sighed thinking about how rude I was to her earlier. "Thanks Regina, its been a pleasure modeling alongside you." She smiles and nods.

That's when the stage director lets Regina know that its her turn to walk. As soon as she walks out i hear clapping which means she's doing good.

Thats when Zelena walks by me and smiles. "See how a true top model works." I rolled my eyes as she walked on to the runway. She walks back out then its my cue to go. I stood on that runway then strutted my stuff. I was confident, fierce, and graceful. This is what I love to do, and I know that I will win this.

I looked to my right and I see Mr. Grey sitting there. I did a twirl at the end then stared down at the camera. Thats when I turned around and made my way behind the stage.

Chaos is the only word to describe backstage at the moment and thats what I loved. Designers going crazy trying to make their designs look good on the models, while the stylist and assistants are helping out making sure the models looked beautiful.

We did another round with a new outfit then its going to be the last walk, the last 3 standing. Regina, Zelena, and me.

Al 3 of us make our way down the runway and give our last walk. We stopped at the end and gave our last pose. Everyone clapped and cheered, driving my adrenaline through the roof. We made our way back and my heart was pounding, I was so nervous to find out the results but I was happy that the show ended.

They called us out and I could already taste victory. The judges are all casting their votes and one of them stands and grabs the mic.

"Judges came to a decision, and the winner is...."

I knew I was the winner so I took a step, and "oh well there has been a three way tie." I gasp and thats when Regina and Zelena take a step next to mine. "Told you Emma, you were never going to win." I tried my best to keep composure but I wanted to slap the heck out of her.

"There will be another runway show in Paris in 4 days which means on Friday, we will pick 5 judges and there will be a winner, but before that those judges will critique your pictures as well." We all nod and made our way backstage.

Once I got out of my designer outfits, I grabbed my stuff and walked over to my assistants. "Hey I want you all there on Friday before the runway show and make sure you all do better." They all scoffed at me. I rolled my eyes. I didn't care if they got mad this is a job I will not tolerate anything but perfection.

I made my way back to the modeling house and as soon as I made it to my room, Zelena was there beig annoying as hell. "You thought you were going to win and look we all tied." I rolled my eyes. "Piss off Zelena." She laughs. "Don't be a sore loser, don't worry when I win Ill mention you."

I grab my suitcase and walked out the door. I had to make it first to Paris to impress the judges as well so that meant getting my butt on a plane now.

Thats when my driver, Jamie walks up to me. "Emma you have to talk to your sponsors and their support group." I scoffed. "Ugh why, can't I just message them about how I grateful I am." He shakes his head. "Go Emma!" I shake my head and groaned.

"Fine." I made my way towards them and talked to them for like 5 minutes before I ran to the car. I was so tired of them because they were so uncultured that I couldn't stand them.

I wanted to find a flight to Paris but the next one was going to be in 9 hours and the flight was from my hometown like 30 minutes from here. I was so annoyed but I sent Jamie to get a head start to get those damn tickets with a rental car while I stayed in my car. It was 2am and my eyes were getting super droopy. I could feel my body fading out. I should've stayed and rested.

When I open them I noticed I was on the wrong side of the road. I gasp as I turn the wheel. I look around and everything is dark and I can't see any car in sight. I look at my phone and there is no reception. I didn't recognize any landmark or anything.

I see a car and followed it but to my luck the person in the car lived in the middle of nowhere. I decided to just drive around and see if I can find an establishment where they have a phone. I drive around and that's when I see a cop behind me, flashing its lights. I smiled.

Maybe they could help but then I hear gunshots. I started to panic. I tried to break but my breaks weren't working. I started panic, I started to drive into a little town but I couldn't stop.

I knocked down so many cones and a phone pole. That's when wires get caught in my car and I got stuck. At that moment my only instinct is to accelerate. I hit the gas and the car started to spin, I hit a building and fell on the side of the road.

My head was killing me and I felt blood coming out from my head. I was extremely dizzy.

The cop opens the door and shakes his head. "Off to the clink with you." I shake my head and that's when I pass out.
