Never Let Me Go

Chapter 4: Baby

"Yes. Why?" She started to pout.

"Alright. I'll make you your love story."

"Yes! Then I'm going to show it off to all of my friends."

"Sure you will. Anyway, I'm going to go down and bake some cookies. You want some?"

"Do you really have to ask me if I want cookies?"

"You're right. Silly question." I pat her head and then went downstairs.

 

"Keira, your friend is here."

"Friend?"

"Yes. Why? Is that surprising?" 

"Oh. No. Not really." Yes really, because I'm still not used to having friends or people coming over to visit me at my house.

"Hi Keira."

"Ara?"

"Yes. Me. You're not helping me out tomorrow."

"What? Why?" Well that was sudden.

"Because a friend of mine needs someone to be part of the dancing in an upcoming music video for someone."

"And?"

"That friend of mine was watching our class. He chose you to be a part of it."

"A music video?"

"Yes. You have to leave tonight. He booked you a flight."

"Tonight? So soon."

"Yes. Very last minute. Now get ready. I'll give you a ride."

"Who's this friend of yours?"

"Old schoolmate. He helps produce music videos now."

"Oh. Whose music video am I going to be in?"

 

*Ring Ring*

 

"That's probably him. Go get ready while I take this call. Hello?" She answered her phone and went outside.

"Great."

"It is great." My mom inquired.

"Yeah but who would I be staying with?"

"I'm sure your friend has arranged things for you.This could be really good for you. You could get discovered."

"Yeah. Like that would ever happen."

"Come on. Think positive. Just go and have fun. And be on your best behavior. I'll just tell your father about it when he gets back home from work."

"Okay mom. Oh. Can you please make cookies for Leo? I kind of promised."

"Alright. Now pack up."

"Thanks mom." I hurried and packed my things. I said goodbye to Leo and my mom and texted my dad on the way to the airport.

 

"You're going to have so much fun."

"What makes you say that?"

"The place where you're filming. LA girl!"

"Why aren't you the one going?"

"I have a studio to run. Besides, they neede someone younger."

"Oooh. Burn."

"Shut it. I hope you have everything you need."

"Yes. I do. Oh yeah. Where am I staying?"
