Why...? (completed)

Chapter Eight.

I turned around to see who was tapping on my shoulder. She was really pretty and peppy.

"Hi! I seen you walking from you hotel, and I think you are gorgeous and you have a stunning body! Im a scout for New York's biggest modeling company and we are looking for teens that are willing to audition for our modeling show tommorow. Are you willing to?" She asked nicely.

I looked over at Emily and she motioned me to say yes.

"Uh, yeah! I would love too!" I told her.

She smiled and handed me a few papers and explained to me what each one meant.

"Thank you!" She said while walking away.

"Omg! Thats so weird!" said Emily.

"I know"

"When is the audition?"

"Um, it says... today at 7 tonight!" I looked at Emily.

"Right now its, 4:00, lets go to the Mac store down the street and get some makeup and then we will go back to the hotel and do you make up and hair."

"Okay," I said.

We walked down the street and got alot of makeup. Thank god Emily went to beauty school when she was 17. We walked back to the hotel, and when we got in the room, she scattered all the hair things and make up along a counter in the living room. I sat in a chair in front of her and she went to work on me. After 40 minutes of doing my make up, she got to work on my hair. She did it in perfect waves that fell long on my shoulders.

"Okay, follow me," she said while grabbing my hand.

"Ta Da!" she said bring me to a mirror.

Wow. She did an amazing job. I looked flawless! I loved it!

"Thank you thank you thank you Em!" I said hugging her.

"Uh huh, now go put on some sweats and a jacket cause we gotta go!" she said.

I ran into the room and threw on somesweats and boots and a jacket and we left. We arrived at the place and there were about 12 models getting dressed and hair and make up done. A lady walked up to me.

"Hello, I will be your assistant, come over here, and this will be our spot," she said pointing to a dressing room corner.

"Ill be out in the audience!" said Emily while leaving.

Wow, this was serious! I just hope that I win.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our models!" We all took turns going down the runway with different numbers on our stomachs, in bathing suits, and high heels. They had us all line up and they called up 5 girls. One of those girls were me. They then put us in fitted dresses and we went back out to the stage and the judges picked three girls. Me again. I didnt think I was going to make it this far.

We then went to put on casual clothing and we went back on stage.

"The winner is, Chloe Alvarez!" said one of the judges.

I was overjoyed. I was so excited and happy! I went to backstage and all the girls packed up and started leaving. One of the judges approached me while I was getting my things.

"Hello Ms. Alvarez, we think you are stunning and we are glad to have you as one of our models. We were thinking of having a meeting tommorow. Do you mind meeting for lunch somehwere tommorow around 12:30?"

"Sounds great!" I replied sweetly.

"Okay good, I will email you all the details! Congrats!" she said while hugging me.

She walked away and my assistant told me goodbye and gave me a hug. Fashion buisness was no joke and it was all hustle.

"OMG CHLOE!" Emily yelled and hugged me tight. I started crying tears of joy. I was finally going to do something I loved.

"Im so proud of you!" She said while whipping away a tear.

"Thanks, now lets go, I need rest, I got a meeting tommorow!" I said.

We left back to the hotel. I went to my room and put away my makeup and everything else.

"HOT CHOCOLATE SESSION IN THE LIVING ROOM IN 10 MINUTES!" she yelled from her room.

I laughed and took a fast shower. I put on my pajamas and put my hair in a high ponytail. I went in the living room and Emily gave me a cup of hot chocolate. We got cookies and blackets and movies and cuddled up on the couch.

"What time is your meeting tommorow?" asked Emily.

"12:30, what time is house hunting?"

"3:30."

"Okay, good."

"I have one question," said Emily.

"Hit me with it,"

"What about your dad?"

I completely forgot about him to be honest. My stomach all of a sudden got butterflies. Hes probably worried sick and how am I supposed to be modeling if Im supposed to be back home?

"I forgot about him! Emily! How am I supposed to be modeling out here?" I asked.

Emily got a thinking face, then she smiled huge.

"Oh god, what are yout thinking?" I asked her.

"What if you just move in with me?"

"I mean, are you sure? I cant pay anything yet until I start modeling and-"

"Its fine! Trust me!"

"Okay" I said with a smile.

We continued to watch movies the rest of the night and we eventually fell asleep.

-

I woke up on the couch. My head was on the arm of the couch, and Emily's head was on my butt. I chuckled as i stretched my arms. I flicked her forehead, and she woke up.

"Hey dere," I said groggily.

"Butthole, dont flick me," She said flicking me back.

"Hey, your the one who slept on my butt," I said giggling.

"Whatever," Emily said laughing.

I grabbed my phone and looked at my phone; 10:30.

"I need to get ready," I said getting up.

"Im scared to stay here alone!" Emily said.

"Oh gosh, whose the older one here"

"You"

I rolled my eyes and laughed as I walked to the bathroom. I took a shower and when I got out, Emily was in my room.

"Emily! I need to-"

"I just talked to your dad."
