What If I

Chapter nine~ I had to do it

Tomorrow morning
Meghan's POV
I was flat ironing my hair for the interview.
"Mikaela! Did he turn up anywhere?!" I yelled from the bathroom.
"Nope. I think he listened to our conversation then stole our potato chips and left." Mikaela replied.
"Glad he's gone though!"
I finished getting ready and put some shoes on.
"Good luck at your interview." Mikaela said before I headed out.
~~~~~~
I arrived at the place. I was going to be a clevver news person who does interviews for celebrities and does the latest news in the Hollywood days. I know, kind of not for me. But that was the only job open. I went up to the desk.
"Interview for clevver news."
She nodded and typed into her computer.
"Meghan Trainor?" She asked.
"yep."
"Right door on the left."
I nodded and opened the door to the left. A middle aged lady sat behind a desk, looking straight at me.
I closed the door behind me and sat down.
"Um- I'm doing an interview for clevver news?"
"Yes yes, let's get started."
"Um, before we start. What can I call you?" I said unprofessionally.
"Call me Wanda."
I nodded and took a deep breath.
"So, Meghan. Have you had experience with cameras in your face? (Fame)"
"Yeah, I was for awhile. They called me Mtrain, and-"
"That's all I need to know."
"Sorry."
"So, next question. Do you know how to memorize things and act professional in front of cameras?"
"Yes."
"Next question. Can you read well? And have a diploma?"
"Um, yes."
"Have you ever been a reporter?"
"no, I have no experience as a reporter."
"Okay, final question of the day. Will you get distracted with anything that's out of the camera world, That will hold you back from doing your job?"
I instantly went to Charlie. And the baby.
Screw it.
"Nope."
"Thankyou for coming. We'll tell you if you got the job tomorrow."
"Your welcome."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I drove back home. I crashed onto the couch as soon as I got in the living room.
"Meg! How was your interview?" Mikaela asked.
"It was- fine." I replied.
"What went wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Something went wrong. I can tell. What went wrong Meghan."
"Fine." I said with a sigh.
"TELL."
"Okay. She asked if I had anything going on at home that would distract me from doing my job. Then I instantly thought of Sydney, and Charlie."
"That's bad, Meghan. What did you say?"
"I said there was nothing."
"Meghan, you know you can't lie about that stuff. You can't ditch Sydney, or Charlie." Mikaela said with a concerned face.
"I agree. But Mikaela, I'm not even going to be able to have a house or be able to take care of Sydney if I don't get this job. I had to do it." I replied.
"That's true, but I'm just worried things might get out of hand."
"They won't, Mikaela. I promise you."
