This is not me

"Where are you going, Meghan?" Vic asked when he saw her walking with a bag. She gulped, turning around to see him.

"I told you I have photo shooting in China, didn't I?" she said slowly, hoping him believing her. He frowned.

"Really?" he asked. She gulped.

"Yeah. How could you be so forgetful, Vic? Hey, I'm late already. Bye…" she said, quickly walking out, leaving him scratching his head.

..........................................…

She looked out from the cab, feeling so nervous. She actually went to China not for photo shooting but… she couldn't even think about it.

"We're here," the driver said. She quickly took out some cash, giving to him.

"Thank you," she said, as he smiled. She looked at the white building, feeling so afraid now. Is she doing the right thing?

..........................................

Vic was reading a newspaper when he came across one picture. He gasped to see the title; TOP MODEL KILL BABY!!!

He looked at the picture, recognizing the hat the woman wearing. It was Meghan!!! But… but she told him that she has photo shooting. If she doesn't have any photo shooting, what is she doing there?

"I'm home," Meghan announced, pulling the bag with her.

"Meghan, sit down," Vic said, signaling her to sit on the couch. Meghan smiled.

"What is it, Vic? You don't have any date today?" she asked even though her heart was bleeding to ask that question. Vic sighed heavily.

"Where were you these few days?" he asked slowly. Meghan smiled.

"I told you I have photo shooting in China, right?" she replied.

"Really?" he asked again, suspiciously. She gulped.

"Of course. You don't believe me anymore?" she asked back, making a sad face. He sighed heavily.

"I believe you but… this… look at this…" he gave her the newspaper. She looked at it, gasping.

"This is not me, Vic. Many girls look like me now, wanting to be me. They even buy the same hat like mine," she lied, feeling her heart breaking into pieces. He sighed, pulling her into his embrace, stroking her back.

"Shh… I understand. Better you go to your room now, have some rest, okay?" he said gently wiping the tears on her cheeks. She nodded, walking slowly to her room with the bag. He watched her walking, sighing again.
