Her breathing was hard.
Kaylee- is it too late to turn back?
Logan- miss Juliet, look at the time.
I hung up on her and sunk down into my seat.
Please make this work.
The line went dead.
6:23 pm.
-next day.-
Mike- come on, can't you let her go?
I looked down.
Mike- she's in the past now. She held you back. Now you're here, you're this close to making it. And you're gonna walk out? What happened to you?
I let the words sink in along with the sound of cars passing by on the street outside. The cold air rushed through the window as Mike paced around in front of me.
Mike- you can NOT be leaving for a girl.
In some ways, he was right. I've been wanting this role all my life. I remember when I got the callback and Kaylee jumped into my arms and we shared a quick little kiss. What can I say? Her smile is contagious.
But if her smile wasn't even existent, I didn't want to be here. Fame and fortune could get me a lot of things. But it wouldn't get me Kaylee, and I didn't want that to happen.
Mike kept on going on about how I can't ditch this all for a girl. But then he kind of got out of hand. He started saying things about her. I don't care if he's helped me get all the way here, I can't stand when people speak of her like that. Doesn't he realize she was the person I relied on the whole time? Not Mike. No, he was a douche.
I stood up and gave him one last look, then walked out of the room. He followed close behind and started screaming at me.
Mike- where the hell do you think you're going?
I shoved my hand in my pocket searching for my keys. They weren't there. I heard a snicker behind me and turned around. Mike was dangling my keys on front of him.
Mike- you really think I'm that stupid?
That's it.
I walked closer to him and he raised his eyebrows. Oh he was getting it. He started making more remarks, so I did the only thing I could do; kick him in that spot that hurt. Reeeeal bad. Kaylee always told me guys hate it when you pull their hair. I always wondered what would happen…
I grabbed his brown hair and yanked it. He screamed in pain. Ha, she was right after all.
I grabbed my keys from his hand and took one last look at that loser.
Logan- yeah, I really do think you're that stupid.
Mike- you just made a big mistake
His voice was shaky and irritated. Yeah, that must of really hurt.
I started up my car and drove away. I couldn't go all the way back to Kaylee right now. It was too far. I sighed.
I'm one step closer to you, baby.
