Chapter 2

"so how was the interview?" amanda asked as she unlocked the door to the house.

emma sighed and shrugged,"i dont know. i was so nervous the whole time. i probably blew it."

"who interviewed you again?"

"well the interview was to work with the backstreet boys but i was interviewed by one of their assistants or something like that. she taped the interview and took some of my work to show them i guess."

amanda nodded and glanced at her,"you really want this job huh?"

emma sighed,"yeah. i guess maybe to prove to myself that i can still do this. i mean, those pics in my portfolio were all taken before the surgery. you know ive taken more, i just dont know how good they are compared to my old stuff. six months amanda, its been six months from the surgery and i havent been offered any jobs. maybe i CANT do it anymore."

amanda sighed and hugged her,"its not your fault all those people are too stupid to see good work."

emma managed to smile,"best friend logic is always good."

amanda laughed,"well its true too."

the phone rang and amanda went over to answer it,"hello?....uh, yes she is. just a minute please." she handed the phone to emma and headed upstairs.

emma took the phone and sat down on the couch,"hello?"

"emma? this is jen. we spoke earlier...."

"oh! yes about the job."

"right. well i showed the guys your work as well as the interview and they would like to meet with you as soon as possible."

"wow...um...well im free any time..."

"would it be possible to meet some time this evening?"

"um...yeah thats fine. what time and where should i meet you?"

jen gave her the time and the address of where to meet her as well as the guys. emma thanked her, hung up the phone, and went up to her room to change.

amanda knocked on the door,"is everything okay?"

"yeah, ill be out in a minute." she quickly changed into a tshirt and shorts and went back out into the hall.

"that was jen, the lady that interviewed me. they want to meet me! tonight!"

"wow. congrats em," amanda said giving her a hug.

"thanks. if you need me ill be in my office looking through all my pics," emma said heading back downstairs.

"someone get the door!" aj yelled from the downstairs game room.

"hes such a bossy ass," nick mumbled to brian who was sitting next to him on the couch.

"and lazy. aj get the door yourself, its your house."

"yeah but kev, jen, and howie are all upstairs, theyre closer to the door. THEY can answer it." the doorbell rang again,"get the damn door!!!"

"aj shut up!!" jen yelled from upstairs. she went an answered the door,"hi emma, come in."

emma smiled nervously,"thanks."

jen nodded and closed the door,"theyre all really antsy right now so its probably going to be a short meeting."

emma nodded silently.

jen laughed slightly and led her down to the game room where howie and kevin had joined the other guys.

"guys, this is emma. emma, this is aj, brian, nick, kevin, and howie."

emma smiled nervously,"hi."

howie smiled,"you dont have to be nervous. we dont bite...most of us. i cant guarantee anything on aj."

"hey...."

emma managed to laugh,"thanks...i think."

nick glanced at emma and smiled,"hi."

she smiled,"hi....again..."

jen glanced at the both of them,"do you two know each other?"

emma shook her head,"not really."

"we met each other last night,"nick said. he glanced at brian,"on the date from hell."

brian smiled innocently,"so emma, can we see your portfolio?"

she nodded and handed it to him. nick moved over on the couch and made some room for emma to sit down.

she smiled and sat down,"thanks."

he nodded,"so your sure you want to apply for this job?"

"yeah, aj might drive you crazy," howie said.

"not before brians dog does," aj said.

"hey, leave tyk out of this," brian said pouting.

"children..."kevin warned not looking up from the portfolio.

nick glanced at emma,"run. run while you still can."
