Chapter
One
For the next week my life was a rollercoaster of
emotions. One moment I’d be seething with rage, stomping around the apartment
as I ranted and raved about how pissed off I was at Dimitri, his slutty costar,
life in general, and most of all myself. The next minute I’d be curled up in
bed in the fetal position, sobbing with all the bitter pain of my broken heart.
Some days I was so depressed I could hardly get out of bed, but by night I was
practically manic as I tried to prove that life hadn’t gotten me down and I
could party all night.
Throughout all my ups and downs of emotional highs and
lows, one thing remained constant; I missed Dimitri and wished more than
anything that he would show up at my door and tell me he had come to his senses
and realized that I was the only girl for him. If only he would do that, I knew
I would take him back in a second; but he never did.
The days went by and before I knew it I had come to
the Wednesday of my big commercial shoot.
“What do you mean you’re not going?” Shawnee yelled at
me. “Girl, I have been listening to you talk about how much you wanted to make
it as an actress for two god-damn years, and now you’ve finally gotten a job
with a speaking part in a national commercial. You’re going. You’re going if I have
to fucking drag you there myself! Now get your ass off this couch and into the
shower. We leave in one hour!”
I gripped the throw pillow I was laying on and hugged
it tightly, as if that would anchor would me to the couch, and said, “It
doesn’t seem right. He got me the job offer. For all I know I wouldn’t have
even been considered for the job if he hadn’t been trying to get me into bed.”
“Yeah, so what? Everybody knows that to get work in
Hollywood you need to know somebody and you know Dimitri Morrison.”
“Well I don’t want to know him. I don’t anything to do
with him, and that includes the acting job he got me.”
“Oh, this is bullshit!” Shawnee wouldn’t give up and
started dragging me off the couch. “So that stupid asshole was fucking another
girl; my boyfriend was too and so we were right to dump their asses. Just
because you’re not with Dimitri anymore doesn’t mean you should throw away your
entire career though. You’ve worked your ass off to make it in Hollywood and
you finally got your first real break. Take it! You deserve it. You’ve got the
look the director wants, and you’ve sure as hell got the talent. The production
company didn’t hire you because you were dating Dimitri. Sure, maybe your
connection with him made your name more memorable, but was your talent,
dedication, and hard work that got you hired. So go do the fucking job you’ve
been trying to get since the day you moved out here!”
I realized Shawnee was right and released my death
hold on the throw pillow. Smiling at my best friend, I said, “Thanks Shawnee. I
guess I needed someone to give me some perspective.”
“Fuck perspective. I want to meet all the hot guys
that are going to be on the set. Didn’t you hear, I’m on the prowl for a new
boyfriend,” Shawnee joked and we both laughed.
Less than an hour later I was showered, dressed, and
ready to go. I knew the studio would provide the outfit they wanted me to wear
and would also do my hair and makeup, so I’d simply put on favorite pair of
jeans, a green cotton blouse to highlight my eyes, and matching sandals. I left
my damp hair hanging loose to my shoulders and kept my face clear of makeup so
they wouldn’t have to take anything off before they started putting it on.
