The Interview

"You're favorite food?"

"Bacon!" I exclaimed like a child.

"You're like a child trapped in a womans body." He jokingly commented.

I just laughed and continue eating the popcorn he gave me a while ago. After a series of what's your favorite questions, he began to ask me a more serious type. About my job, family, education, sexuality and relationships. I answered it all with honesty..

"Does your family accepted you?"

Woah! Now its getting serious.

I put the bowl of popcorn down in the center table infront of me and fixed my self before answering his question.

"Well at first it was really hard coming out, you know? My mom always treats me as a princess, even if as a kid i was already a tomboy. I like boy stuff and things like that. I don't like wearing clothes. I pretty much want walking around naked." I said in a very serious tone which made the audience quiet. George the host nodded his head telling me to continue.

"Well, what i'm wearing right now is an evidence." I tried to joke to lighten up the mood. I was successfull as i heard the people laughed.

"So did your Mom accepted you?" He asked again.

"Yeah, after one.." I started counting with my fingers which made them gasped in disbelief.

"A year?!" He exclaimed with his hands in his chest as if he's having a heart attack.

"Haha! Nope! Two." I answered.

"Two years?!"

"Who said years? Two hours." I said with my brow furrowed.

All of them laughed at my answer.

"Hahaha! I thought it was two years. Well, two hours is not bad enough.

"Yeah? Two hours of just sitting infront of each other, no talk, just stare while tears dropping in her eyes. One of the most hurtful things in the world is to see your mother cry because of you." I answered as I remembered that day. It still breaks my heart as I clearly recall that look on her face.

"But then you'll realize that those tears are tears of a mother's love for her child. I remember the first thing that she told me, after hours of just sitting there." I continued.

"What?" He curiously asked me.

I fixed myself pretending that i'm my mom which made them laughed.
George the host also pretended to be me. Removing his shirt. Pertaining to what I said earlier that i like wearing nothing.

"Cara.." i immitated my moms voice.

George looked at me in the eye..

I hold George hands like what my mother did.

"I will love you no matter what, i still love you just as I loved you before. If not, i love you more. I'm proud of you." I said as a tear escaped my eyes remembering the words that my mother told me.

That is one of the best days of my life. I felt happiness, relief and most importantly I felt the love of the people around me. I wonder if I will ever have a day where I can be free of secrets again.

I heard "awwwww" as the audience react.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! One of the rarest moments captured in the television THE Cara Delevingne just shed a tear!" George joked and everyone clapped their hands. I joined the clapping too to remove the awkwardness.

After a series of questions he asked me about the incident lately at the bar.

"So are you really that drunk?" He asked.
