Chapter 2

“Joanne…what are you trying to say?”

“I’m saying…if this doesn’t stop…I’m going to have to leave you” 

“Do you know what you’re saying? You know it’s not going to end”

“Well, then if it doesn’t end. We will end”

“Joanne. I can’t quit my job that easy. This is what I’ve always dreamed of doing. I made it too far to quit now”

“So our relationship is not important? Which one are you going to pick Justin? Me or your job?” she said as she pointed. He kept quiet for a while.

“Justin we have to be in New York for the album promotion.” J.C. walked in on them. He realized what was happening. “Oh…am I interrupting anything? Sorry. I’ll leave you two alone” he left their sight.

Joanne looked at Justin. “Which one Justin? I can’t deal with this anymore.” she rested her hands on her hips.

“Joanne…”

“Justin…which one?” he gulped down and sighed.

“I’m going to have to go with…my job” he looked up at her. “I’m sorry. I can’t just get up and quit my job for no reason. This is my life and I intend to keep it this way. I’m not changing it for nobody. So if you can’t live with it, then I don’t think it was meant for us.” She stared in disbelief.

“Listen to yourself. You’re picking a job over me”

“No it’s ‘The Job’ I’m picking over you. And don’t tell me to listen to myself. You’re the one who’s not making any sense. You’re telling me to chose out of you and the job”

“I’m going to ask you one more time…which one? Me or the job?”

“The job” she sighed.

“Alright. I’m outta here”

she grabbed her purse and walked in the living room where Justin and J.C. were watching t.v. “Bye J.C.” 

“Bye Anne. Are you coming back?”

“Ask Justin” she opened the door and walked out. J.C. looked at Justin.

“Is she coming back?”

“I don’t think so”

“What do you mean? For the day or for the rest of her life?” he sighed.

“For the rest of her life” J.C. shot up and covered his mouth in shock.
