A T.V. Interview
Chapter 2
He stared blankly at the tv, where the person he once knew
so well sat staring back at him. She was on one of those
talk shows,promoting her new book, that was going to
come out later that week. She still looked the same, same
hair cut, same style of clothes, but something was different
about her. Her eyes, they looked a little bit darker, most
people wouldn't notice, but he wasn't most people. He now
tuned into the conversation between her and the talk show
host.
" We are here today with Haley James Scott, to talk to her about
her new book I'm Already Lost.
Host: Now Haley can you tell us a little bit about your book?
Haley: Well it's about a girl, Courtney who is a musican, and
she goes to New York with her friend Ryan, in search of fame
and herself.
Host: So now how did you come up with the idea for your book?
Haley: I based it on my life, I left my hometown when I was very
young with a friend of mine, hoping to become famous in New York.
Host: So you just left one day? Did you ever go back?
Haley: Yes, I left my family, my friends, and my husband all in
one day, and no I haven't been back since.
Host: Wow, that must of been very hard for you, you left your
husband? I thought you left when you were young?
Haley: Yes, it was very hard, and yes I did leave my husband,
we got married when we were sixteen, and no neither one of
us were dying or anything like that.
Host: Then why did you get married, if you don't mind me asking?
Haley: The same reason everyone wants to get married, for love,
because I had found the one person I couldn't live without.
Host: If you found that person you couldn't live without, then
why did you leave?
Haley: I didn't want him to look back on life and regret marrying me,
I didn't want to look back and regret marrying him. We got married
so young, we weren't even seniors. He had his whole life ahead of
him, I wasn't going to let him give up his dreams for me.
Host: So you left him?
Haley: Yes, mostly for him, maybe a little bit for myself. I just
didn't want him to hate me, but I guess he does now.
Host: Well, if he is watching this right now I am sure he doesn't
hate you.
Host: We are running out of time, Haley James Scott's new book
I'm Already Lost comes out Wednesday, buy it.
Host: Thank you for coming Haley
Haley: Thank you for having me
Host: Ladies and gentlemen Haley James Scott."
He was still staring at the tv, long after the show was over. She
had kept his last name, she was still Haley James Scott. She had
told the same tv show host, who had interviewed him only a
couple of months before, that she had left so he could achieve
his dream of becoming a professional basketball player. He felt
like he could pass out, he hadn't seen her in so long, it felt like
a dream. He knew though that the first thing he did on Wednesday morning would be to buy her book, and if he was basically be
reading about her life after she had left him, he was going to
need a beer. So he walked into the kitchen, as apart of the
interview hit him, she had said that they weren't even seniors
yet, he smiles now as he remembers promising that he will
always protect her, instead of crying.
