Why

The Interviews

We walked down to the mall but before we went to the interviews we had to buy Owen new clothes because none of the clothes he had looked professional enough.

"There" I said holding up a dark blue shirt and black pants

"This is a really cheap store, but these are about 50 dollars" I said, laughing.

"You can't pay for that, I'll find something cheaper!"

"Nope, we're getting these, we are getting jobs, aren't we?"

"I guess"

We had left the store and I went to the right and he went to the left. I applied to every store there, every makeup store, every clothing store, every shoe store, and even to work as a janitor.

When I looked at the clock, I saw it was 12:45 so I ran to the food court I showed Owen earlier. By the time I got there it was 12:55 and Owen was nowhere in sight.

"He's probably just running late" I thought barely being able to breathe.

I was looking at the places and saw a Chinese place, so I waited in line and ordered myself something, when I went back to the table Owen was sitting there. I felt a weight lifted off my chest when I saw him.

"Go get some food O"

"I'm not really hungry"

"You didn't eat  much of breakfast, if you don't eat I will force the food down your throat!"

"Ok, ok, what should I get?"

"Whatever you want, it doesn't matter, I'll just give you the money for it."

"Ok, can I have $20?"

"Yeah, of course!"

I watched him walk away and up to some chicken restaurant, I just scrolled through Instagram and saw Chloe's pictures, she looked happy, with this other girl, and all of the pictures with the two of us were deleted.
Why would she do that? I just disappeared, why doesn't she care?

"Hey!!!"

"What? Sorry O"

"Just was looking through, who I thought was my best friends account, she deleted all of the pictures of us together."

"That's weird."

"Yeah, I know."

"Well I got you something."

"What?"

"One, I got you some pie, two"

"PIE!!!!!!"

"Ok, someone likes pie, do you want me to say the other thing?"

"Yes please"

"When I was looking for a job, I found a modeling thing, and I sent them some pictures of you."

"Wait, how did you get pictures of me?"

"I went on your Instagram, duh."

"Ohhhh, true, continue."

"And they said that they would love to give you a job, and the good news is, they do all of their shows in that building because they are for the clothing stores in these shops. It pays very well and it's every Friday, so we need to get you to apply, now."

"No. Fricking. Way."

"Hurry up and finish your pie so we can go"

"Ok, ok."

We did it. We found a job, we just need to get it.
