Isaac and Amy got home soon,moved into a small house close by,and then it was time for some more music.
"Zac,where are you going again?"Rebecca asked,as the two sat at the kitchen table.
"Florida."
"Without me?"
"You can go. You said that you thought you needed to stay home and take a break."
"I do..but you,in Florida,without me..."
"It'll be ok. It's only for a week and 3 days."
"That's a long time." She got up and grabbed two Diet Dr. Peppers out of the refridetator.
"So,who all IS going?"
"Just me,Tay,Ike,Amy,and Dad. Mom doesn't wanna go,and neither do the little kids. And i guess Katherine is like you,just wants to be home and relax."
"At least i can count on Kat,"she teased.
"You can count on me." He wrapped his arms around her as he stood up.
"I just have to go do some stuff,then i'll be back."
"I know,but that 'stuff',is your life."
"Look,"he sat her down,"I love you,but i love music..." She cut him off.
"Zac,i know. And i'm not mad,i was just making a statement. I would NEVER ask you to stop doing music. You know that!"
"I know..sorry. My mind ran away from me. So..you wanna go swimming or something?"
"Sure. I'll meet you out back in..uhm..6 minutes?"
"Got it." He kissed her shortly,and she ran out the door to her house. She picked out a bathing suit,and looked in the mirror. She quickly looked away remembering what Zac had told her.
"Damn..you always seem to amaze me in a bathing suit,"he smiled when they reached the pond behind the Hanson house.
"You are such a good liar." She jumped in,and he picked her up.
"I'm not lying to you..that makes me NOT a liar." She laughed at his non-sense sentence,then pulled him into a long deep kiss. He held her tighter and returned to kiss.
"Well,that warmed me up,"she whispered.
"Uh huh." She laughed at him,the way he was always dazed when she kissed him like that. They 'swam' for about an hour,then went back to the house. After saying sad good-byes,Rebecca went home,and watched the Hanson van leave.
"Rebecca! Come here please!"her mom shouted. Rebecca ran down the stairs.
"Yeah?"
"Look at this." She handed her daughter and flier. "It's a modeling thing coming to town. I thought you might like it."
"Mom! I'd LOVE to!"
"Great! It starts at 9 tommorrow morning,and i know the woman in charge of it. I talked to her,and she said that she'd take you personaly and see what she thinks."
"Thank you so much Mom!" She gave her mom a kiss on the cheek and ran upstairs.
*********************************The Next Day**************************
Rebecca put on jeans and a tank top,and went with her mom into the city of Tulsa.
"This must be Rebecca!" A woman,looking in her mid-twenties,with blond hair,greeted them.
"Yes,i'm Rebecca."
"Hello Rebecca. I'm Sarah,you wanna go ahead and get started? Your mom can go on and leave if you want."
"That's fine. Bye Mom."
"Bye Sweetie. Have fun."
"Ok." Sarah led her through the agency to her office.
"This is a nice office,"Rebecca said,sitting in a chair.
"Thanks. Where should we start?"
"I don't know."
"How about this..we'll take you and get your height and weight and stuff."
"Uhm..well..sure." They walked down a hall,and into a room.
"Ok..you're 5'4."
"I am?"
"Yep."
"Then Zac must be like 5'6 ro something."
"Who's Zac?"
"Oh,he's my boyfriend. Zac Hanson."
"Oh yah..i remember all that happening. Let's check your weight." Rebecca reluctantly stood on the scale.
"Ok..you're 108. You could probably go down to 100..maybe even 95."
"I've been trying to tell Zac i needed to lose weight."
"You're thin for a regular person..but to be a model..you gotta lose all the fat."
"Ok."
"Alright..your eyes are..hmm..your eyes are a weird color. What do you call them?"
"Zac says they're aqua."
"You talk about Zac alot."
"Oh sorry."
"No it's ok. I don't mind,not at all. Ok,your eyes are aqua. Your hair is..blond. C'mon..let's go to wardrobe." They went to a room on the other end of the hall.
"Have you ever done a photo shoot?"
"Yeah..with Zac and Tay and Katherine."
"Do you have any of those pictures with you?"
"Right here." Rebecca handed Sarah the folder she had been carrying around.
"Oh..these are WONDERFUl! You and Zac make a great couple."
"Thanks..we took those for some magazines. But i kept some and put them in my room."
"I would've too. They're wonderful. Here ya go." Rebecca took the pictures and put them in the folder. They picked out a slip dress,and someone fixed Rebecca's haid and make-up.
"Rebecca,could you take that necklace off?"Sarah asked.
"Oh..well..sorry..i can't. It's just..Zac gave it to me,and i just can't take it off. It's a good luck charm too."
"Oh well..ok." Rebecca stood infront of the camera on the white background. Sarah directed her to lay against the wall and look off. This went on for an hour. Then Rebecca changed,and went back to Sarah's office with her.
"Ok Rebecca..this is what i'm thinking. Delia's,Airshop,and Wet Seal have called me this week..which was a HUGE surprise. They need someone new,someone fresh. They need someone like you."
"You really think i could do it?!"
"I think so..but like i said..you really need to lose some pounds. But those magazines don't care..you're perfect size for them. But now if you wanna go CK or bathing suits..you really need to lose some weight."
"I can't beleive this!"
"Well believe it. Let's go check out your pictures." They went to the film lab and gathered her pictures,then went out to find her mom.
"What would you think of Rebecca doing some actual modeling..say for Delia's?"
"What? I think it's WONDERFUL!"her mom exclaimed.
"Well..great. I'm gonna call them tommorrow and tell them that i found their girl."
"Thank you!" Rebecca and her mom got home,and Rebecca went to call Zac immediatly.
"Zac!"
"Hey Baby!"
"Guess what!"
"I don't know."
"I'm modeling for Delia's!!!"
"WHAT!?"
"Yes!"
"You're kidding?!"
"No! Just a sec..i've got a beep." She changed over. "Hello?"
"Rebecca..this is Sarah. Delia's just called me. I faxed your info..they want you. They want you to a photo shoot not tommorrow but the next day in the Florida Keys!"
"Omigosh!!"
"I know! Can you do it?"
"YES!! I'll have my mom call you back..i'm talking to Zac. Bye!" She clicked back over. "ZAC!"
"WHAT? WHAT?"
"I'm doing a photo shoot in Florida the day after tommorrow!"
"WHAT?!"
"YES!!!" They talked for an hour,then Rebecca was called for dinner. Her parents were thrilled,and they got plane tickets to fly out the next day. Rebecca went to her room after dinner,and looked in the mirror. Taking another bite of her brownie,she grabbed her stomach. She slowly walked to the bathroom next door. She looked at her stomach in the bathroom mirror. Then she leaned over the comoade and stuck her finger down her throat.
