Barrier

Part title

  In Chicago, the rain fell heavily although a few pedestrians walked to and fro in the rain. A few pedestrians might have glanced up at a figure one that seemed to be standing awfully still near the famous tv show host's generator. The figure didn't look ready to jump or commit any acts of suicide, so why keep watching. To those who watched a little longer the figure seemed to look more and more like the Tv host herself. But why would a woman as fine looking be standing outside in such horrible weather. The figure just stood there, looking far into outer space.
No it couldn't have been the famous talk show host Harmony Red especially when the show was scheduled to start in fifteen minutes, it just couldn't be.
Harmony Red continued to stare into the sky. She remembered something, something not even her family knew. Only Lyne, her closet friend and adviser, the one person who stayed after everyone else left, Lyne Goya.
Lyne, was the eldest daughter of the owner of Goya Products Ltd. They both became friends after Harmony left her mother's house. Lyne, was basically Harmony's Right hand man.
Someone was tapping on the window to get her attention. One more minute just one more. The tapping continued.
"I know I know am coming." And with that she left.
Inside her stylists and her make up artist flocked around her.
"What are you wearing."
"It's show time, are you o.k. Gimme a big smile."
"Red are you ready, is she ready, the show's about to start in ten."
Harmony felt tattered she felt crushed, apart of her was missing, and there was only one reason why she felt so guilty,ashamed, foolish.
She flushed her thoughts as she approached her table and sat down.
There she found a note that said " You better do good this time I'm counting on it we all are."
Oh yeah and that to happened last show...
"We're on in 5,4,3,2,1.. Go Harmony !"
Harmony flipped the page over and began. " Hello Everyone welcome back to the Harmony Red Show. I am your humble host Harmony Red."
"Good girl your doing well keep it up girly."
Everyday, every show Lyne kept connecting with Harmony thru a little ear piece,Harmony kept in her ears.
"Today we have three special guests." She paused glanced around and cleared her throat and began.
"The first one is a pregnant 19year old. Her name is Stacy. Our second guest is not pregnant, she is Rasheeda. Our final guests is a Male and his name is Jacob. Please help me in welcoming our guests, folks."
As the audience applauded the three something Peter said earlier came back to memory.
"We want people to engage in our discussions not only for good ratings but because we are slipping."
Slipping, how could we be slipping we are after all the number one best talk show in all of the states.
"Let begin by saying Stacy who is eight months pregnant along with Rasheeda are A students in all classes, there parents are both state of the arts top contracts and both girls attend school and have great behaviour. The difference between these two girls is that one abstained and the other didn't."
"Now tell me should abstinence be taught in schools involuntarily or should students have a choice to choose." She paused, smiled then watched straight in camera 5.
  
Half of the audience hands went up while the voices of angry unsatisfied men roared loudly.
