She Will Go Down in History

Chapter 26: Media Frenzy

"You're fired, Zara" Jordan said. Those words ran a chill through my spine.

"I know I was late but-"

"This is the 3rd day in a row this week. Its been happening for a couple of weeks and I've been lenient with you but-"

Just then a man tapped on the window "Over here, princess!" he called as he snapped a picture then ran off

"Then there's that" she said "the paparazzi and the journalists are disrupting the customers. You're a great employee but we have to let you go"

"I understand" I said as I held back tears "Thank you for the opportunity" I gave her my apron, name tag and hat.

"It's above my pay grade I'm sorry" she said

"I know" I choked I could barely talk with this lump in my throat.

I lost my job, this proves that you can have it all then lose it within seconds.

I went home defeated. The paparazzi were still outside but they stood across the street. I was crying on the way home so I knew my eyes were puffy and red, I hid my face with my bag.

"Zara show us your beautiful face" "Where is the prince?" They yelled

"Fuck off, and I'm calling the police on you assholes!" I hollered which was a mistake because that made them want to take more pictures. I stormed up the stairs and slammed the door

"You ok?" Jaya asked.

"Thanks for the slamming the door in face," Troy said as he closed the front door

"I'm sorry...I just got fired from Starbucks"

"What?" Jaya asked

"Its the media. I can't get rid of them"

"Looks like people are trying to get rid of us," Troy said as he waved a paper. I took it and read it. It was a petition to get us removed from the apartment.

"Are you fucking serious?" I semi-hollered as I gave Jaya the paper

"They can't do that!" Jaya said as she began to crumble the paper

"Technically they can, the whole block signed it," Troy said

"Well, what are we gonna do?" Jaya asked

"Does homeboy got space at the Kensington palace?" Troy asked
