Free Life After That by Barbara Kevin Page B

issue was not being brought up, decided to speak his mind:
    "What about the show? Did you guys talk to someone at MTV about the editing problems we had at ABC?"
    Mike Morin was the one who answered him:
    "Not yet. I've talked to one of the producers and asked for the number of the responsible for editing and I still didn't get a call back. But I'm gonna rush things and call him later. I wanna talk directly to the one responsible for the editing part, maybe arrange a meeting. Do you guys wanna join the meeting or leave it to me and Mike?"
    "I wanna be at the meeting." Jacob was the first to answer followed by a "Me too" that came from the other guys.
    "Alright then. I don't know if it's gonna be possible for you guys to go to NY right now because of your schedule and the last 2 concerts with Britney are gonna be here in Florida, but maybe I can ask for the person in charge of editing to come here. How does that sound?"
    "Great." Dan spoke and it looked like it was on behalf of the group.
    "Good. So as soon as I have a date settle, I'll let you guys know. Anything else?" As no one answered, he carried on "Ok then. I think this meeting is over. We have to go now. You guys have the day off. Try to practice your routines a little bit." And then he and Cronin were off.

    "I'm sorry, what?" Kirstin couldn't believe her ears.
    "What what? What didn't you get?" Andrew didn't understand her behavior.
    "We'll be editing Making the Band?"
    "Yeah, that's what I told you before."
    "Making the Band is moving to MTV and we are gonna be responsible for editing it?"
    "Yeah Kirstin. What's the matter? You seem weird. Is there a problem? With the show I mean?"
    Yes, there was a problem. Now that Kirstin was finally forgetting about Ashley again, she would have to see his face every single day at work? Hell yeah, it was a problem! But she couldn't say that to Andrew. She needed that job too much. She couldn't afford to lose it because of some stupid love issue.
    "No, of course not. Why would there be?"
    "That's what I thought. But it looked like you were in shock for a moment there, I was worried."
    "No, don't be. Making the Band! I'm gonna be working on Making the Band. That's just… great!" she had her 2 thumbs up. But she sure was uncomfortable with the news.
    "Ok. Can you leave me your phone number so I can call you later? We don't have the tapes here yet, so we can't start working, but I'll call you as soon as I get the material and we can start working on that."
    "Yes, sure." she got a paper and a pen from his desk, wrote down her numbers on it and handed it to Andrew "Here's my phone number and my cell number."
    "Terrific. Then I guess this is it. Anything else you wanna ask?"
    "No, I'm fine."
    "Good. Then thanks a lot Kirstin. I'm sure it will be a pleasure working with you." he said giving out his hand. Kirstin shook it:
    "You too. Bye."
    "Bye."
    And she was off of MTV.
    When she was outside the building, she chose to go for a walk on the 5th Avenue. She wanted to think over about how things would be now she got that new job. First she was so happy to get that job, but now she wasn't so sure she wanted it anymore.
    "Oh, it's gonna be terrible. I'm gonna watch hours and hours of video material with Ashley on it. How am I suppose to forget about him if I'm gonna see so much of him every day? Oh Lord and what if he's with somebody now and then I'm gonna have to watch him kiss this girl all the time. Why did you have to become famous Ashley, why? Why hadn't you just stayed there in Redding? If you had, things would be so much easier for me. I wouldn't have seen you again." But she knew Ashley wouldn't be just somebody when he'd get out of high school. During high school, he was part of the football team, he took drama and music classes. She already knew back then he would be really successful when he'd get older. At that moment, walking through that crowed sidewalk, she remembered clearly one of the
